    The post about the series about the murder in Wisconsin has me fuming again. I live on a paved County Highway in a house that we bought two years ago. After we moved in I called to get my DSL Internet hooked up but was surprised to find that it is not available in my area. WTH - it's 2016 for the love of God, so no DSL means no Netflix.

    As long as I am ranting, I have one more that happened just last night.

    My wife stopped at Walmart on the way home from work and was waiting in line at the cashier. The person in front of her was trying to buy $11 worth of items but only had one dollar Credit left on her welfare card. As soon as my wife saw this she immediately gave the lady $10 to make up the difference - after all this ladies down on her luck and probably just trying to buy groceries for family right? The lady thanked her and grabbed her bags and left and as soon as she did my wife noticed what was in there, Doritos and ice cream among other things.

    I'd be the first one to handover $10 to someone that truly needs it, but this lady accepting $10 to pay for her junk food ticks me off.

    My wife cooks with a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, so she and the girls go grocery shopping every 2-3 days. I get frequent rants about the overweight woman in line ahead of her paying for a cart full of junk food and prepared food with the welfare card. They're not working. Why can't they fry the chicken themselves?

    When you leave work and drive to the new spot to shed hunt and go to get your boots out of the back seat and they aren't there! Normally I could get by in the boots/shoes I wear to work but with a foot of snow that wasn't happening so all I could do is drive around the perimeter day dream.

    I saw a news story that said that the barrels now cost more than the oil inside them. Do people really think when they talk about barrels per day or when oil is shipped that it is really in a barrel?

    Well put this into perspective, someone wrote the other day that a bucket of KFC chicken is now worth more than a barrel of oil. (If you don't consider the cost of the barrel of course :)

    I agree. That card should be limited to the basics. Push them to not want to be on the card and better themselves rather than having things handed to them. Raw meat, bread, milk, rice, vegetables, water. That's it. None of that junk food crap and pop and already cooked fried chicken. It's bull ****.

    I got my Covert Blackhawk delivered yesterday and was super excited about setting it up. When I tried to visit the Covert website to setup my wireless plan it kept directing me to a DNS Fail Server page...emailed their technical support team, like they request, and the email bounced back with the same message...

    As many here may have noticed I am trying to be a kinder gentler Sota when posting on the forum, it is not without challenges because I still think the same thoughts but I just try not to say them. I am not a bitter person by nature usually in a pretty good mood. I do have situational awareness almost to a fault and I analyze constantly. Things not put in the proper place willingly is the same as doing it out of ignorance in my perspective.

    I am working on renovating an antique runabout and E-Bay is the go to source for parts. I spend hours each week doing searches checking on stuff on my watch list. I am looking for parts and it is also interesting to see how much certain parts go for. Part of my frustration there is in the search function. I do a search for vintage aluminum boats on a regular basis and it usually 2-3 pages, with a quarter of the listings being old aluminum gravy bowls. I know you have to wade thru a lot on e-bay it is part of the game.

    So last night did a search for vintage boat parts, 15 pages to sort thru but still knowing half was crap I was committed because you never know what you are going to find. I came to a listing for a vintage metal light boat guard, curious I pulled it up and looked at the picture with the listing and the other picture. What was being offered for sale was vintage but it was the old cup/can holder that swiveled so the beverage didn't spill when you were underway, not a light guard. I went so far as to send a message to the seller and I simply said that the product was a cup holder not a light guard. I got a message back that the can holder was my opinion of what the product was and them as sellers who have been selling vintage collectables for years have a different opinion.

    Dumb people who clog useful classifications with misplaced inaccurate efforts to put things in the right place.

    Well I found a way to put the seller in place using pressure that can only be applied by enthusiasts. I mentioned the listing in a boat restoration forum. I didn't even mention the item number just what the listing was. The seller was inundated with people selling him images of a new cup holder. The auction was ended and the item pulled.

    Is it just me or does it seem like the biggest punk thugs in the NBA are the guys who can't play defense?

    I'm so tired of seeing all these different "pro-staffs". Just because you make up a facebook group, stupidassoutdoors, that doesn't make you a professional.

    That is what is wrong with the sport today everyone wants to be special. In honesty I probably go overboard with my contempt of people who look for more than just being a hunter like everybody else but come on enough is enough.

    Everybody wants their 15 minutes. I really wonder how many of these people actually really even care about hunting, or do they just see it as an avenue to get attention.

    I don't know that I can only compare it to my perspective.
