    You mean to tell me you don’t have anything that could use a red dot? Not a thing?

    Hmm…..either you’re fibbing or we have a serious crisis to overcome.
    I guess I unintentionally fibbed. Im blaming not being totally awake. Looked at my inventory list and you're right, my TSO could use one.

    My SIL passed, had his funeral.
    We were close, and buddies.
    He was a hunter, fisherman, and gun enthusiast.
    Father of two of my grandchildren.
    Daughter and grandchildren are having a rough time as expected.
    Prayers would be appreciated.



    The biopsy results came back over the weekend for my dog. Vet reported that the swelling is a tumor. It is in the soft tissue sarcoma family and is likely the subcategory "fibrosarcoma."
    Gave her 2-7 months to live.

    My condolences on your losses and my prayers sent to you and your family in your time of grief.

    Definitely not the news anyone wants to hear during the holidays. Sincerest condolences and prayers for you and your family.

    I owned one like that. Had to have the bbl shortened and rechambered to get it to shoot like I wanted it to. Andrew is a good guy and his might do good, but too much for a 10/22 for me. I druther spend the $ on a Kidd.

    Ive had a few 10/22s and found them lacking in accuracy for my needs so they found new homes. Surprisingly my dad's old Winny 190 has been much better for me. A Kidd would be a good alternative to a stock 10/22 imo too.

    Looking back at the credit card conversation from yesterday, I see that I may have come off the wrong way. I just want to clarify that I hold no judgment for how others take care of their finances. I recognize that many of us are in different places financially and in different seasons of life. And that there is often more than one way to do things, like finances, and I always have room to learn and improve.

    One of my main aversions to credit cards is because of the trap it has become to so much of the younger generation. Our culture has gone off the deep end pursuing “instant gratification”. As a dad with young kids I see how influenced they are by the “have it now” culture. I feel an immense amount of responsibility to teach them “Godliness with contentment” and financial responsibility. We teach them about giving, about praying about spending, about saving and the dangers of borrowing. And we try our best to model that.

    Sometimes I type things out and it reads differently than it sounded in my head. Anyway, I hope nobody felt judged, that wasn’t my intent.

    Wait a minute, I thought you were the younger generation!

    Funny banker story, a couple years ago during operating loan renewal season (you didn’t know they had a season for that I bet) banker says “we’re concerned with the balances we see on credit cards, looks similar to last year” and all that did was tell me they had never looked before, because we routinely charge 2k to 10k a month in cards, but always pay it off and don’t pay any interest.

    It’s just a tool in the toolbox, just can’t misuse it or loose the discipline, or believe every offer that comes along.

    Credit cards don't kill - people kill. Or something like that.

    I remain on the side that debt is not bad or good. Debt can be managed for a positive or mismanaged for a negative.

    I have had debt and I have had cash.

    Right now, I am in a period of no cash and no debt. LOL - well except for a huge appliance charge that will need paid soon.
