re: Tent Camping in fresh snow

Knock the snow off the tent and make sure lines are still taut. Keep vents open.

Assuming not a POS tent, I wouldn’t do anything other than just set it up on that little snow. If it’s deeper/drifted and not firm I’ll take a few minutes to stomp it flatish.
Make sure you’re using an insulated mattress (and a closed cell pad under an insulated inflatable is even better). Hang the tent up to dry when you get home before you put it away.

One side of mine went fine, other side was being "difficult" and at one point I could feel them tugging, so my arse was up off the table....Nurse says "Mr. Bullock, you have a very muscular scrotum." Couple seconds of awkward silence and all I could come up with was "Thanks, I work out."
on the second side when they did mine, when they checked to make sure the anesthetic was in full effect I could still feel it pretty decently and told them so. so they gave me some more. Rinse and repeat about a half dozen times. Finally i tell him to just get it over with and I'll be fine. So at this point he re-positions himself...which made it very clear that he had been pinching a different part of my sack or something between his hand and the table and that's what I would feel when he moved to start poking around and I couldn't feel a thing where it mattered. That shite was numb for 3 days :lol:

My kids have Mission HAMMRs. Adjustability is impressive. Can go from short/light enough for my undersized 7 year old to shoot all the way up to fit me.

I like this new album a lot. Red River is an amazing song and an absolute gut punch. I was not prepared for that right out of the gate at 5:30 this morning. Ruby Ann playing currently.
Either some of y'all have terrible luck with them live or I have great luck. Saw them in Indy recently and they sounded great. The show at Billy Bob's when they started touring again was incredible.

re: Need recommendations for a good pair of running shoes.
Posted by ccard257 on 4/8/25 at 5:07 pm
If you're actually running in them, you need to go to a running store and have them look at your gait and recommend shoes with the proper level of support. The ghosts above are great shoes, but would likely hurt my knees to run in. For me, the best brooks shoe is the Adrenaline.
If you don't want to go to a running shoe store or don't have one close, most major manufacturers now have quizzes/self tests on their website that are better than nothing to get you started.

If you don't count all the "unpaid" hours spent practicing, writing, rehearsing, recording, mixing, promoting, etc.
In addition to that, I just looked and they played 15 shows last year...not exactly making a killing from ticket sales at that rate

grandfather was one of the first to land/survive at ohama beach and was later severely wounded. Grandmother was from Poland and survived force labor camps during WW2.
My kids are even lower odds as my wife's grandfather was a Bataan death march/prison camp survivor.

re: Range Junkies, what's your preferred rest (bags or sled)
Posted by ccard257 on 2/27/25 at 11:12 am
For load workups, zeroing, or testing anything other than me I like a nice heavy long bag upfront (I think my current one is a champion gorilla or something like that) and a small bag for the rear. I use an Armageddon gear pint sized game changer but that's because I already have it. Plenty of cheaper options that will work. Use a 10 round mag when working with ARs.

I'd just ski more, but if you really don't want to do that, you can go to Taos to kill some time. There's a good toy store with a playground on the square that our similar aged kids like. Check out the gorge. Some of the desert/gorge hikes should be in good shape. Lots more dining options.
re: Duck Hunts opening weekend vs. last weekend?
Posted by ccard257 on 2/3/25 at 1:52 pm
we rarely have birds in the early season and this year was no different. Luckily I duck and deer hunt at the same place so I can just hunt something else till the birds show up. Wish they'd roll the season back a few weeks.

I don’t have a large sample size but have been impressed so far with the 140 nosler BTs in the 6.5. Have had great results with the 100gr version in a .260.
