    She was just trying to save you some money... or smoke you out of the house... either way you’ve got a good excuse not to hang with the in-laws.

    they're good cops. And he's not a terrible Superintendent. But the Mayor, and even more importantly the States Attorney are complete horseshit. Complete, utter, total horseshit. They don't even rate human excrement.

    He wants to make a difference? Arrest the CCSA for aiding/abetting; and for public corruption (Jussie Smollett case.)

    I believe Juicy because I’ve been in a similar situation. I was walking back from Cabelas at around 3AM one night and these 2 guys with man buns and Bernie Saunders hats rode up beside me. They hopped off their electric scooters, put a Hawaiian lei made out of pot leaves around my neck, poured pachouli on me, and rode off chanting this is EBT country.

    With my luck, I'll see him this fall, have a perfect 30yd broadside shot... And stick the tire.

    Man, at least my MIL does not come over when we are not home and last night she actually left our thermostat alone. Although, she did want me to look at this massive bruise on her ankle like I am some kind of doctor. I work at a medical school that does not make me a doctor. She is the one that was a nurse for 35 years...:confused:

    If Chicagoans vote him in as mayor, you might actually see that city get cleaned up.

    My mother in law is coming up today, she will be down on the dock with her rod rigged up with 25 pound test line, a leader with a flu flu jig under a moose bobber and complain there are no fish in the lake because she can't catch any.

    Increase your GPI, add 100gr brass hat, and go single bevel.
    Problem solved.

    So I sold my wife's 2006 Ford Explorer Saturday morning for $2500. It was old and had about $2000 worth repairs needed. I didn't want to mess with the repairs because I wasn't confident I would get my money back since I was planning on selling it anyway. In searching for a new vehicle, I see the Explorer for sale on the Facebook marketplace for $4100. That is about what it would be worth without the issues. Dude is trying to flip my car for profit. At least I was honest about the issues and priced it accordingly. Not my problem anymore, but dishonest people piss me off.

    No way he did that in three days over the weekend. It needed a new ECM module for the fuel pump. The Ford factory that makes them has been shut down for four months with no ETA on reopening and a backorder list 1000+ people long. That is why I got rid of it instead of fixing. Best case, he figured it out and pulled one of a junk yard Explorer. Something I would not do with a computer component.

    Easy fix - up your draw weight to 80 lbs, increase your draw length to 34”, switch to some good hard speed cams, and get a 150gr cut-on-contact style Broadhead and add a few arrow weights to get to around a 1500 gr total arrow weight. There is gonna be a lot of arrow drop so if you plan on shooting at different ranges you may need to add an additional sight or 2 since pins don’t have that much adjustment range.

    Aim for the sidewall.

    Somebody should corner it and put a Trump 2020 bumper sticker on it.

    They already did that with a bear and the liberals got super triggered. The bear didn’t have any tires on it though so maybe it’ll be different.

    On second thought, they would definitely blame trump. I can see the headlines now: Breaking news: Trump kidnaps innocent elk, tries to turn it into campaign vehicle.
