Antamina mine in Peru for work. 15000 plus, felt like I was hungover the whole time. Couldn't sleep, panted constantly. Worst 4 days. At 10k I was fine, walked around cisco no issues.

re: Ever had a family member in a nursing home?

Posted by OntarioTiger on 11/4/25 at 7:01 pm to UptownJoeBrown

My grandmother was in assisted living and when alzheimers got too bad she was moved to nursing home section.
My mom and step grandad were in assisted living.
As others have said you have to do your homework and find good ones. Food and care in assisted living was good, not cheap but good care. Lots of activities and good caregivers.
In Ontario once you go into nursing home it's palliative care, food and care are good but ppl are at deaths door. Nursing home care is covered by provincial health insurance but assisted living is on your nickel.

Benelli click is real but I have only seen it when it's really cold and made worse by moisture, snow etc. Only saw it at 10 deg and lower.
Hasn't happened in a400s that I've seen

Broken record time, get a B gun that fits YOU, 28" barrel minimum, i like 30 for the swing. 3.5 is very overrated. I hunt giant canadas a lot and 3" bbs or 2s are lots. With bismuth lots of guides shoot 20s. If money is tight could go w a franchi. Other options are benelli m3 or beretta 300, they are 3" guns. My favorite duck gun is my 391, almost 25 yrs.old and points like a dream. Had to change a recoil spring last year otherwise no issues

Gonna sound like a broken record on all my Shotgun recs. Find a b gun that fits you best and buy it.
Maybe consider a franchi or stoeger but I don't have any experience w them.
For example benelli is a great gun, just doesn't fit me as well as a beretta, so I shoot beretta semis ...

re: If you could have a basement would you?

Posted by OntarioTiger on 8/29/25 at 7:13 am to Dirk Dawgler

Live in great white north and basements are the norm except if you live where bedrock is at ground level. My finished basement is spare bedroom, small workshop (heated in winter that's a key), mancave and storage. Also where hvac and water heater are placed. Don't use attics much in gwn for storage etc.

What uptown says.... imagine having Randoms party every weekend next door. If my neighbor has a party I'm invited and it's all good.

A buddies kid built a lake house and str was his business model to make ends meet, neighbors ran him off after 2 yrs, i wouldn't want that next door, don't.know many that would.

re: Hurricane Andrew, 33 years ago

Posted by OntarioTiger on 8/24/25 at 6:02 pm to reggierayreb

Andrew was the only storm that I went thru in btr, it was interesting the night of but camping out in 95 deg and 95% humidity for the next.week was no damn fun. Had access every 3rd day to a 4kw genny so freezer made it and we had fans for a day. I was on last flight into btr before the storm, dow was having an exec meeting and had a bunch of ppl on the plane, knuckle heads ....
We had some minor damage, none of my circle had any major issues but it taught this canuck that hurricanes are no fn fun

re: PSA: Have your able bodied at home son cut your grass!

Posted by OntarioTiger on 8/1/25 at 12:48 pm to slacker130

Both my son and daughter cut the grass when they were teenagers, it was part of their chores. Just a push mower so easier than a rider. Also when they do a shi**y job have them do it all again. I guarantee it will be the last time they do a crap job.
I generally did weed eating etc
