Bus has a spoiler on it~!Same here I'm already doing mud seasonI'm planning on running my gas out of the snow blower today for the season, hope I don't have to think about starting it again this yearView attachment 94707
I love this sort of thing. Makes you wonder what happened to cause so many to be left at one location. Imagine the hours of work that went into making those. Seems unlikely someone would just leave them behind. I guess it's possible they were found at the site where they were made and these were culls, for one reason or another. Gets my imagination going, lol.My Nephew just sent me this. Found all in one place under a tree! He was worried that this may have been a burial site, but I don’t think so as this was all that was there. Fantastic find! View attachment 94702
Well I now know this is called a cache. I know they need to be sent to a place called Dickeys to have them authenticated. They are called Turkey Tails. We know not to wash them and am being told they are worth in the hundreds of thousands. Being told it’s museum worthy.I love this sort of thing.

Do you or your nephew know what people and/or time period these likely come from? Is there an indigenous museum or something that these go to, or do they become part of a private collection?
Exciting stuff! I wonder if someone will ask your nephew to lead some archeologists to the site. I don't know how that works. May be different state-to-state and public property versus private property, idk.Well I now know this is called a cache.

I posted them to an artifact group that I am in and this has happened in less than an hour!View attachment 94733
I finally had to tell them I am overwhelmed and cannot keep up! My iPad is dinging like a slot machine!
It’s on private property. I don’t know how that works either.Exciting stuff! I wonder if someone will ask your nephew to lead some archeologists to the site. I don't know how that works. May be different state-to-state and public property versus private property, idk.
I'll bet it will be a fun process figuring things out and ya'll will learn all kinds of cool stuff about these artifacts.It’s on private property. I don’t know how that works either.
My dad and I used to go hunt for arrow heads, pottery, and anything else we could find out in the desert. I still have the arrow heads we found. About half dozen or so.My Nephew just sent me this.

It's real!!! Tuesday is here!!
One way I occupy my time when flying,Missed early flight due to staff shortage at baggage check. No one to check baggage while we watched the plane for an hour before it took off...
Was so mad..
Customer service said that even though the flight was delayed 2 hours we were supposed to be here 2 hours before the original departure because the baggage check closed 3 hours before the delayed departure. Ah... Got a new flight today, and $200 in vouchers for my inconvenience. Frontier.... Never again.
On positive note, should be in Denver by 4pm
You're killing me smalls!!!![]()
I don't mean to pry into your expenses but isn't 100 bullets expensive, I've seen stuff where they talk 1-2-5-10 100$ p[er shot, Not that 100$ for a days hobby, play is expensive, shit it cost that + balls & funny shirts to golf a lot of places. I know less than zero about guns other than call of duty and a couple shot gun blast and a BB gun once that's about it.I’m in and out this week. Two things, prepping to make redbud jelly and breaking in a new barrel. I need at least 200 rounds through her so she settles before load development. All of this to be done before a big team match April 12th. Gonna run a 100 rounds today, then work up three loads and run a hundred more day after tomorrow. It will take me a full day to reload the hundred I’m going to shoot today.
So, I’m around at strange times..
Now, let’s smoke one before I head off to the range!

These bullets I shot today will be retired and a hundred new ones in their place. I have been shooting the same brass for over two years. You also have to remember, we reload. So, brass, bullets and primers. The brass runs 125.00 a hundred. I have been shooting that for the past two years. The bullets are 45.00 to 60.00 per hundred, So basically 25.00 per match and the primers are a 100.00 per thousand, so about 5.00 in cost per match. Eight lb jug of powder runs 360.00- 400.00 depending on brand. It will run 1800 to 2000 bullets. So, round 5.00 per match. So a match, which is two twenty round relays plus sighters, round 5-7 (sighters)for me. It would cost me 35-40.00, if I did not have sponsors. They give me free stuff to wear their shirts and use their products at shoots. Bullet companies, barrel companies, stock companies and optical companies.I don't mean to pry into your expenses but isn't 100 bullets expensive, I've seen stuff where they talk 1-2-5-10 100$ p[er shot, Not that 100$ for a days hobby, play is expensive, shit it cost that + balls & funny shirts to golf a lot of places.

Most all of that is completely correct!It depends on a lot of things. Caliber, what it’s made for, if it’s store bought.
CG reloads so she’s saving her brass casings. (They will be fire firmed to her chamber for a perfect fit and no pressure loss) Buys her favourite projectiles in the weight she likes, in the materials she likes. Then picks the best powder for her needs and new primers.
Over all iirc it’s about 1/3 or less the cost to make your own over store bought of the same quality. But it’s still an expensive hobby for sure.
I normally break things in with surplus on a fun shooting day out and use better grade for hunting or targets, but her caliber isn’t a standard one used for war. Much more expensive.
Very nice! I have a few of those too. My Dad left them for meSilver stacking. Granny's cracking full jackets View attachment 95012
Ya, that's pretty good compared to other sports and activities. I wasn't sure what they cost I've seen YT stuff where they talk big money for firing some guns. A machine gun clip, there goes a couple hundred dollars fast, looks like fun but up here we'd be in jail just asking.

Cheaper than fishing or drinking..
Hey, not sure if you've been involved in playing with the color spectrum's in your grows. I've been playing with Far reds and I just bought a pair of Blue 44nm booster lights. I want to limit the amount of stretching the reds give me and blues are supposed to help with that. Now that I have them up and on, they both have dimmers and I'm lost on how to utilize these new lights.Very nice! I have a few of those too. My Dad left them for me![]()
I’ve never manipulated color with lights, but I have with temps. I had one crop that never got above 72*, it was without a doubt the most colorful crop I have ever grown.Hey, not sure if you've been involved in playing with the color spectrum's in your grows.

In using my Far reds for just 15 min at lights out I get all the stretching and widening of the leaves I want in just over a 1 week period. When and where would I utilize the blues? On at same time as reds? no, that's not right. All day after the reds? 15 min through the day? its like a math problem. As is I have them on for now 4 weeks into flower, on with regular lighting.
Tomorrow I'll be 4 weeks into flower and stretching should be just about over so I intend on using the far reds again at lights out for 15 min because I like what it does to the color and over all health look of my plants. It will also help enlarge my buds, maybe at the expense of density although it didn't seem to hurt my last runs buds.
Any who that's my life's story...lol....as I smoke and write......have you any experience with adjusting the colors in your growing?View attachment 95047
It was an example to compare prices. As was surplus ammo. I’ve heard some hunt with surplus up here, it’s legal, but not how I was taught/raised. FMJ is designed to wound and make/take other soldiers out of action to help the wounded. Not a human round.Most all of that is completely correct!Cept store bought loads. I have only seen one match won with store bought loads. They just are not precise enough for long range shooting.
Yep. Don’t think I’ve even tried further than 300m. Not many places I could go shoot with that long or clear an area to shoot. Even dads farm has to many hills.One thing when you’re trying to take down large game at 250 yards, whole new ballgame to hit a three inch bullseye at 600 yards. This 6mm is a precision tool and it takes precision loading and some damn good Indica to pull that off! lol

I too, am at this cross road.
