re: Peleliu WW2 Chat
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 5/12/26 at 12:18 pm to Strannix
I don’t have much to add to this thread other than my grandfather was with the first marine division on the island of Peleliu and in the Guadalcanal conflict.
He was a farm boy from Garden City, Kansas, who enlisted in the Marines
My grandfather was adopted as his biological family gave him and his sister up during the great depression.
Met a lifelong friend on the beaches in the south Pacific moved his family out of Garden City when they returned to South Louisiana
He didn’t talk about the war very much, but on very rare occasions when he had one too many beers. Once such occasion, we were playing golf at Briarwood on airline and he was in his 80s. He was just watching and riding in the cart and drinking and he told me stories about machine gun nests wiping out many of his friends. Discovering caves in the rocky cliffs when the tide was out. Flamethrower filling caves up with fire and enemy soldiers bailing out on fire.
That Generation saw some tough shite.

re: My Thoughts After Knee Replacement
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 3/26/26 at 9:16 pm to Old Man and a Porch
My dad had a real need for a knee replacement. Finally got it. He was so apprehensive about it.
First few months he was miserable (similar to your experience) and by the time he was about 8-10 months out, he was a new man. I remember him saying to me ‘I wish I had this done years ago’. That freed him up in a new ways till his passing in 2018. He was my hero and my best friend. I saw life in him after his knee healed up and I even bought him and his girlfriend a round trip vacation to Las Vegas.
IMO It will get better for you.
Fight for it.

I start a new job in two weeks and it’s heavy teams meetings. I’m told company uses Claude. I need to learn it quickly.
I’d like a new logo animation service.
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 3/17/26 at 10:00 pm
I animate a variety of logos and I need new materials or templates to choose from. I currently have videobolt but it’s grown stale to me. It’s possible I’m using it wrong.
What are you using?

Varmit rifle ideas
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 2/13/26 at 10:33 pm
I’m toying around with an idea on a small calibre varmint rifle.
I really like a 22 mag and currently only have the ability to shoot it in a pistol so I got a fair amount of it around.
So I’m considering the savage A22. It comes with an adjustable trigger. Fluted barrel and threaded. And it’s semi automatic with a Picatinny rail.
Am I missing something? obviously it seems like it has everything. Except an optic.
What do you use for your smaller calibre needs?

re: Mineral for deer
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 2/12/26 at 9:09 am to Danm312
I use two different methods for minerals.
1st type is a old tree stump preferably, or just a spot, dump 300-500lb of rock salt, red trace and whatever else you use. Do this 2-3 times a year.
2nd method is I use a complete mineral granules like from Double Down, use a seed spreader and make circles around your spin feeders that way every bite off the ground puts minerals on their nose and tongue. Both methods have shown me over time that it’s a successful process. I’ve also learned to offer water in that location.

re: Nissan Titan Opinions
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 2/9/26 at 3:13 pm to prestigeworldwide
I have one. A 24 PR 4x4. 21k so far. Only issue is the roof rails have some corrosion and getting it redone under warranty.
It’s the warranty I like. 5 years 100k miles bumper to bumper.
I use the stealership for all maintenance.
This is my second titan. The first one was 180k with only a fuel pump failure.
I like em. I needed a truck after the cp4 killed my f250. While I miss my ford size and power and space, the titan is powerful. Smooth. No turbos. No cp4. No start stop tech. It’s a v8 4x4 truck.
Hard to get it that simple these days.

Season and Life Update
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 1/30/26 at 1:07 pm
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Life has been a bit of a whirlwind lately. I took a company-mandated sabbatical, only to be laid off while I was on it. :wah: Then, just two days later, hackers got into my account and made off with thousands.
Despite all that, the hunting season itself was a great one. I was able to tag a nice 9-point on low-fence South Texas, and my son tagged one too—on the very same day. A few weeks ago, I was also invited to Cactus Flat Ranch outside Eagle Pass for a nilgai hunt with the Double Down Feed crew, where I took my first nilgai bull.
Overall, an excellent hunting season with a pretty rough ending to the year.
Cheers, guys! :cheers:

Go to any outfitter from Victoria Tx to Eagle Pass. It’s infested with birds.
