The fossil spinnin' yarns

[ImAfossil]

Is this braggin'. NAH ! ! ! - Just whilin' away the day, and tryin' to stay out of trouble with my DW.

A few pics:

1) The last group with my .17HMR. Over the years if one comes in (firearms) one has to go out. DW who is very educated, learned to count one day. The day I got caught ; "I see your guns are propagating in the cabinet".
I always (I can't explain) liked 1 1/2" high at 100 yds. Superstition ?? On chucks, max was 150yds and had to be in the ear, with the .17 / no crawl offs. Had a 4 X 16 on my H&R SINGLE SHOT. It left the house with a 3 x 9 32. This last grouping (9/16") was shot with that combination in a 15 or 15+ R to L wind. A H&R single shot ??? WHAT you say ! ! I just bought another one. One danced in, one walked out.
2) My new .204 Ruger -- My son laughed --- You are in a mid-life crisis. Hell, I passed that a zillion years ago. Time to move away from walnut & cherry wood. I will roll my own ammo & my son will rescind his laugh. I will make that lil' single .204 print. 4 X 12 Why ? My DW doesn't count scopes. Shhhhh ---don't even whisper.
3) April 2011 -- Hit call at 6:03AM, put tag on 26 lbs, 6:18 AM. I was hot & hittin' the right notes. My Hi-Tech Turkey Shooter is a Mossberg model 500 semi. 2 3/4 " only. Don't you just love my Revolutionary War Camo. I made the SULLY ; Sullivan County Review. They said I was 72. I am not that friggin' old. Nobody is that old.

All of the above dictates 'THIS GUY IS REALLY CHEAP' the H&Rs, the 500, the Camo. My counter "Not broke, don't fix" & I do have a few pretty ones, but not my Camo (superstition ?). That camo may glow in the dark, have ultra rays or sumthin' or maybe those Spring Gobblers in Sullivan County, could not figure out that thing laying on the ground. 30 years of laying on the ground worked back then, and still appears to work. C'mon Spring 2012. The families of Gallifores and Sciuridae will be active. The chase will be on for the Marmota Monax and the Meleagris Gallopavo.

I thought you were going to say "Damn Wife"!

[GrumpyBear]

I thought you were going to say "Damn Wife"!

^^^^^^ Me Too !

Stevie: A very astute member.

In the Game of Life there are peaks and valleys. Both Dear Wife & Damn Wife fit very well.

If Dear Wife finds out about the 4 X 12, the latter DW will prevail.

Which one is the turkey is my question.

[GrumpyBear]

Meleagris gallopavo, commonly known as the Wild Turkey, is native to the forests of North America.
The groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as a woodchuck, whistle-pig, or in some areas as a land-beaver, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots.Thank goodness for wikipedia.

Wikipedia huh ? For a moment there I just thought you were really smart !

[ImAfossil]

I knew A-5 was out there, ready to pounce on me. That's OK !

What I like, was starting my first squabble between members.

I have to google Wikapediatrics or was it Geriatrics, to find out the thingie about intelligence I.E. GrumpyBear & steelerfan.
