    After 32 years I clearly was the victor in an argument with my wife. She was putting together a grocery list asked what I wanted. I said Skippy super chunk peanut butter. She tried to tell me that some Aldi or Walmart peanut butter was just as good, I called BS. She decided to do a blind taste test on a celery saying I could not tell the difference. I knew skippy as soon as I saw and tasted it, and I was correct. I will buy my own peanut butter but funny the skippy is always gone first. Little victories.

    Finally got around to changing out my headlights. Old ones were so gassed up on the
    inside amd drivers side has been put for a bit. I forgot what good lighting actually was.

    Have to do a little adjusting, but got the cut offs set so as to not blind oncoming traffic, drove around a little bit and never got flashed. Brights actually give me more view as well, last set only gave more height.

    Now you just have to ask him while making his plate, ham or turkey, to get his reply. Uninfluenced and you'll know for certain if ham stays or leverage was used :lol:

    Does not help that the youngest grandson will eat anything and everything on his plate. I am not going to argue with grandma. I just want to eat too much drink beers and nap watching football.

    I was kind of a spoiled grandson my grandma we all called Honey would send my grandpa to get what ever I wanted like a banana dilly bar from DQ when I stayed over so I get it my role, what the boys want they get.

    Had to send it back to the factory, trigger pull is far too firm can only be repaired at the factory. good thing I still have the other tactical 12 gauge but only 6 shots.

    My son in law is headed out to shoot me a deer, I think I miss processing a deer as much as I miss shooting them.

    Could go in one of many threads on here, choose this one for now....

    A bit ago Tyson and Jones Jr. jad an exhibition match. Nostalgia had me intrigued and actually excited for the match. Was lackluster at best, but still watchable.

    Tonight James Toney and "Razor" Ruddock had a 6 round exhibition match. 59 years old vs 55 years old. They let them throw to win unlike the Tyson/Jones fight, still ruled it a draw, but it was still better than most boxing matches with the talent and youth of today. I miss my youth....


    Getting old sucks, hanging on to our youth sucks even more. There will never be another heavyweight division like there was up until the mid 1990's starting from what? The 1920's - 30's?????

    Tyson had some of his early fights in the Albany area not far from where I lived in my K-12 years. I recall a couple times his entire fights were shown on the evening news. Incredible power.

    It would've been interesting if he was younger and fighting when Ali was in his prime...

    Or could be the worst, investing in a property for selfish reasons. A place to store my boats and hunting land. Hold it for 3 years and love it or list it. On a river with a dam on the property watch the walleyes spawn and bow hunt. Big gamble with the interest rates but hell.

    Do it SotaPop.
    Just had this discussion with an old buddy of mine today.
    He's 81 years old and LOVES bowhunting but has a new truck and as wet as it is here now, he's not went hunting because he doest want to mud up his truck.
    I've let him use my spare truck the past week cuz I could give 2 chits.
    Been trying for year for him to buy an atv. He can't (wife).
    Finally got somewhat blunt with him a few days and basically said.
    " you've worked your ass off for 45 years as a master Mason, you can easily afford one and your kids all have good paying jobs"

    They don't need your $$.
    I actually think that started the spark he needed.
    ?

    Will see.

    Buying a dozen piledrivers Monday, some lit knocks, a new release, and some muzzy hybrids, and a tag. I am back and hungry for venison, funny back to thinking any deer with a bow is a trophy.
