TSCLT 7.0: Hemis, Harleys, Hooters-n-Harridans

[JohnnySavage]

There is no "best" for $700.
Not for hunting.
Aim higher...

$700 is a lot of money. That's 700 beers on dollar beer mondays.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Bad teacher...



BAD!

Well, if you're serious about crossbow season and putting down some venison
for winter, then it is considered an investment. Depreciate it over ten years...

 

[Endrura]

I don't know about your region but crossbows aren't allowed here, just compound.
And SC is right, 700 isn't going to get you anything best, I have a Barnett Ghost 375, it's lightweight, easy to use but a bit noisy so you have to make your first shot count. If you have the extra look at some of the higher-end Ravin and Ten Point bows, I've had the pleasure of shooting some and they are worth the money.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Seven bills seems spendy.


But it costs money to get a good one, whatever it might be.


In other news, this Dostoevsky-Harley book I'm reading says the bottom end in the twin-cam is damn near bullet-proof. That's nice to know. That's also why most of the hop-up kits have new top-end shit, cuz you don't need to fuck with the bottom end.


That and it's a pain in the nutsack.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Cross bows are allowed during "bow" season - September through October.

The Ten Point line is what I've been looking at. They seem to be the most popular here.


Bow hunting will just be something new. My freezer filler is a sturdy Marlin 30-30. We also have a muzzle loader season, but that's too much like work.

 

[SpeareChucker]

Okay Endura, that's funny.


I could buy a tag and use my compound bow.
I could fill it on any given morning from my back door.
At this point, it's just too much trouble.
I had to shoo a buck out of my cone flowers.
He acted like he had come for a fight.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

They have two of those, one at each end, at the airport back to home.


I use that route routinely, and I'd really like to know how accurate my speeding meter is.


Damn things won't pick up the bike. I have to piggyback a car and use his reading.


So if some cop ever tells me he "clocked" me with his radar gun, I'll look forward to whipping his ass in court.

 

[Endrura]

$700 might seem like a lot but once you start buying sights (I love my old Cooper), high end arrows and points, and all the other tinker it adds up fast.
I also recommend investing in a decent hard case to protect your investment, it helps to keep everything together and your tips sharp out of season.

If "muzzle loader" were really "black powder," then get a trapdoor-style rifle and bust .45-70s all day.


Them dopes want you to waste your time.

 

[SpeareChucker]

PBR has a new offering...


Hard Coffee


lol

 

[JohnnySavage]

The only way I'd hunt with a muzzle loader is if I hired a young fella to tote it for me.

... and let me lay the barrel on his shoulder as I aim.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

He'd just flinch, and then you'd miss.


And you'd bend the damned thing when you beat him about the head-n-shoulders with it.


My scoped .308 is about 8 pounds. That and three rounds wouldn't be too bad to tote for half a day.

One of my hunting partners brought a friend of his with a trapdoor 45-70 along moose hunting about 30 years ago. The guy was all proud about how one shot was all he needed to drop a moose. Maybe so, but he couldn't hit shit offhand. The moose went down with one shot, but it was from my .338WM after it was clear he was fumbling too much for his second round. Obtaining meat for the freezer is not a sporting event, it's harvest time.

I've been pestering my hard core hunter friends about cross bows. The snapping string scares me a bit. I prefer my potential energy to be encased in a couple layers of metal. But it's usually warm during cross bow season, and the old fuckers prefer it to rifle season. Not that I'm an old fucker, I just don't like to be cold.

Any opinion on the best cross bow in the $700 range?

No bugs when it's cold and fewer issues with meat spoilage.

Home/Scrotel13. Got a milkshake for the ride home and went to the local HfD store around the corner. Chatted up the saleswoman for half an hour - about bikes. She's a Sporty girl. Yaller. I can dig it.


So I bought a hat.


No plumbers, so no headway on the crawl spaces. Fought a couple of the floor drain covers tooth and nail. One stripped off two screws outta three, so there was cussing and drilling out and loading shit up with silicone to glue it back in place, the cocksucker. For a half-assed repair, it turned out really slick. Two more drains to check tomorrow.


And discovered there is a missing TP holder. FFS!!!

Because fuckers gotsta know . . . .

Just how fast could a bewinged Dodge Charger Daytona go – without interference from NASCAR, that is? One championship-winning team set out to discover its top speed nearly 50 years ago and accumulated dozens of speed records for their effort. Now, the car that the team used, the K&K Insurance 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, has racked up one more honor, the Historic Vehicle Association’s National Automotive Heritage Award.

Though it didn’t specifically ban wing cars from participating in NASCAR, Bill France’s ruling that Daytonas, Superbirds, and all other such “special cars” be limited to 305-cu.in. engines for the 1971 season, effectively did. The advantage of the Hemi and other big-block V-8s proved too much for the racing teams, so rather than run the smaller engines, those teams – and the manufacturers supporting them – dropped the wings and other aero devices.

Happy non-payday Wednesday!!!


Coffee is made. That's about it until some of it starts to kick in.


Looking online for my next crib down the road. Lots of stuff available, it seems. Prices look good, too.


Do they take cats???

 

[Kantarii]

Yup, it’s humpday

 

[SpeareChucker]

The bra does not match the leggings.


Just saying...



Today is a big day for Democrats!
Today, they get that dammed bird!

 

[Kantarii]

I’m gonna watch some of it. I bet it’s a shit show from the word go.

 

[Kantarii]

It’s about 6am here on the East Coast. I bet Mueller is having his 2nd cup of coffee and thinking what the Hell can go wrong.

 

[SpeareChucker]

He's meeting with his publisher...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Waiting for the plumber to show up to fix this effing leak. Then maybe, insh'Allah, I can get this fucking job wrapped up and get my ass down the road to the next one, never to come back until the one-year walk/warranty/sign-over.


It seems that Le(a)d has already pissed off Bourgeois, the other guy, the one who is already at the next job. Boo called last night to chat for a bit. He was also into the wudka.


Says he just wan't lines of responsibility delineated, so he can just focus on his job. I get that. That's up to Junior, the junior PM.


Wat already knows who gets to bring up the rear . . . .

 

[Endrura]

Got a call, a friend of the family died yesterday. I saw him last
week and he was fine, but he had a heart attack and lived
alone, he was 45.

Wat don't scope out the sites yet, everytime you plan to leave
they find something else. By the time this site finishes it will
be ready to start over again
