I'm sitting in my office 5 miles from the track as i type this. The answer is heck no i will not be attending.

As a family we hunker down from Thursday night thru Monday morning on race weekend. I hate being in town or on the roads 2 weekends a year.

for me she is at best a 2-2.5, I'm not sure what it is but something about her face has always bothered me.

My wife thinks i'm crazy but every time she comes on tv it weirds me out.

Same thing with Karen from step by step.

Getting my boys a new rifle for next year. 12 and 10. Recommendations?

Check out the CVA Cascade, they are nice rifles and the quality is enough to last them for years.

I don't actually have one but i have several friends that do and they all love them.

If you want to step up from there Bergara is where it is at IMO. I have a .308 and my youngest has a .300 WM.

If you want something a little cheaper check out the Savage axis, i know some people hate them but both of my sons hunted with them (7MM-08) when they were younger. We have put a lot of deer in the freezer with those cheap little guns.

I have a blue heeler that acts like this. I know they are very similar breeds.

My wife’s family lived next to a guy when she was growing up who used blue heelers on his farm. When we started dating in HS I used to go over and watch him work his dogs. I’ve seen him point out a couple of cows from the herd and tell the dog to put them up, that dog would push just those cow into a corral and into a loading chute without him keeping him on task. They are smart dog but can be mean.

As the parent of 2 decent athletes who played/play multiple sports i agree with her here.

Nothing like getting to go home 3 days into a 5 day event. It gets to the point that even the kids are over it.

Posted by bigtiger440 on 2/15/25 at 7:42 pm

Bergara all the way, best trigger in the game.

I have the b-14 in .308, my son has the same gun in .300.

I love these dang rifles. I have several other brand rifles and the bergara is the one I hunt with the most unless I just want to hunt with the old 30-06.

re: Any Canik fans here? I missed the announcement at Shot Show of the Mete MC9 Prime.

Posted by bigtiger440 on 2/13/25 at 8:11 pm

My son has one, Canik mete sfx.
I bought it for him after his 8th grade, we have a deal that if he keeps straight A’s all year I will buy him a gun of some type.

I like it, it feels good in the hand and has a nice trigger. I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of all caniks but I like that one. I think I would buy another one but I’m more of a S&W m&p guy.

re: Any success stories running from the cops?

Posted by bigtiger440 on 2/11/25 at 8:19 pm

I cannot confirm or deny but when I was in my early 20s friends and I were riding 4wheelers and topped a hill to blue lights. Someone who lived next to the chert pit we were riding in called them.

One of my buddy’s dad was with us he just said “if you get a ticket on a 4 wheeler you are an idiot” as he took off.

re: Any of you NOLA Baws, renting out your home for Super Bowl week?

Probably West Lake or Augusta Country Club. There are indeed homes rented on both but none for $100k. I know a BUNCH of homeowners in the area who rent their places for the Master's and nobody is getting $100k LOL. Less than $10k is the norm, more than $6k but less than $10k. There are exceptions of course but thats the norm. We have been approached by agencies interested in 2 different houses in Columbia County but its not worth moving out of your primary home for a week and moving back in. If it were $20-30K that would be interesting but for $7-$8k its just too much work.

I know a woman who owned a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath condo across Washington Road from the entry at the North Gate of Augusta National - about 1/2 mile or less. CBS Sports rented her place every year for a LOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG time. Augusta National has bought up just about everything in the area that close...I know another man who had a small 1200 square foot 3/2 starter home that backed up the fence at Augusta National. They bought it several years ago for a PILE of cash.

I'm not sure exactly where he is over there, I have never been over there.

I'm sure he inflated the numbers, i would have nothing to go on to be honest. I live in BFE Alabama. you can still rent 3 bd 2br houses near me for under $1000 a month

Posted by bigtiger440 on 1/30/25 at 7:55 am

I haven’t ever rented my house out. But we have a vendor at the office that has 2 houses on Augusta golf course. He bought his family home there about 20 years ago and was approached a few years later by espn to rent the property during the masters because of the location. I’m not sure what hole it is on but he told us he was getting over $100k so he bought another house on the course when it came for sale. Now he rents both of them out. I’m not sure who rents the second house. I know he said he will end up with a couple million worth of property and it will cost him nothing.

Good to go Ammo Huntsville, AL

Posted by bigtiger440 on 1/9/25 at 4:10 pm

I'm not sure if anyone has ordered from GTG ammo in Huntsville. If you have you might have ammo coming your way.

I just got a call from them saying that they were finally shipping my order and wanted an updated address.

The guy explained that i ordered ammo and he never shipped it due to health issues. I wasn't aware that i ordered any ammo from them that i never received. He read all of my order details to me and stated that he will ship it today. I got the shipping confirmation about 20 mins after we hung up. Apparently i ordered 500 rounds of 9MM in August of 2020 that i never received.

I had a great feeling, like i found $20 in a old pair of jeans.

I had something similar happen about a year ago. About a year ago my wife and i were cleaning out stuff for good will and i found a couple hundred .223 that i had ordered a year before. They were just sitting in the hall closet under the vacuum, no one ever opened the box when it arrived. My son told me he saw the box sitting on the porch and just stuck it in the closet when he came in from school.

re: What are the pros and cons of 6.5 creedmore

Posted by bigtiger440 on 1/9/25 at 2:15 pm

I bought my son a 6.5 creedmoor last year for Christmas. It is a fun gun to shoot, It seems to be very accurate.

He has taken it hunting a few times but every time he has shot a deer this year and last he was using my 30-06.

I know that isn't want you asked for.
