    There was talk about that a couple years ago, for small game and non game bow fishing. But it and 'airbows' were killed.

    The 2021-22 proposed rules still define archery equipment as solid handle, two limbs and string... Non pneumatic... Min 40#...arrows/bolts with broadheads >= 7/8" or blunts for some specific sm game/birds...

    Virtue signaling and the creation of victimhood is the expanding strategy of the left. Like creating zombies and leading them along with human brains, over and over and over.

    If you are not sure who you are praying to, what is the point of praying? That is where this is going: create enough confusion amongst the uninformed masses who know nothing of the history of Judeo-Christian morality upon which the US and most of western civilization is built; then, what's the point of mentioning or praying to any type of deity?

    The sling bow change is still in public comment phase so they haven’t voted on whether to add it to the rules yet. Public comment ends Feb 1 but I am not sure how long it will take after that ends for them to make a decision on whether or not to do it...

    I am a fan of the proposal to allow “remote trap checking devices” (aka cellular trail cams) for checking traps but the sling bow thing is just dumb... Same goes for air bows, if they’re gonna allow those they might as well go ahead and let people load flechettes into their rifles and use them during archery season too

    Last I knew amen actually meant "so be it".
    I have no words for "awoman" being said.
    It is some extremely impressive stupidity when your mind starts to process what it just heard but then just simply goes blank when it realizes what is meant.

    Not to mention that Amen has nothing to do with male/female. It’s a Jewish language word that kind of translates to “so be it”

    The people doing that crap know what the word means. It is just absolute ridiculousness that I hope the average American understands is the desire to kiss royal rear end. It is beyond dumb. Like the left is the protector of women and children and are so pure. The far left is on the rise and they will do the most ridiculous crap this country has ever seen to gain even one more vote. The end justifies the means.....Moderate Dems need to step up and call out these whack jobs.

    As far as dumb congressman go, that one is up there with that time Hank Johnson was worrying the island of Guam was going to tip over and capsize if too many soldiers got on top of it.

    On the bright side... he’ll probably get primary’ed because I’m sure all the folks that think they’re a 2-spirit, non-binary, gender fluid, transgender, etc are mighty pissed off that they didn’t get included in his “prayer”

    I spent three hours last night using a hair dryer to defrost the self-defrosting unit of our freezer because it was frozen over and leaking the draining water from the ice maker on to the floor in the kitchen. At least it was an easy fix if time consuming. Freakin' Samsung appliances, I have wasted far too much time repairing kitchen appliances that are barely five years old. Previous owners bought a full kitchen set before putting the house on the market when we bought it; dishwasher, over-range microwave, oven, and fridge. I replaced the microwave in the summer because it fried itself out. In the four years we have owned the home I have lost 7 weekends and spent almost $1000.00 repairing all of the appliances at some point. Those are all repairs I did myself. If I had had to hire a repairman, I probably could have just paid for a whole new set of appliances for what that would have cost. If I had known better, I would have made the previous owners take the appliances, negotiated a lower selling point, and spent the money on another brand.

    A buddy of mine used to work for Samsung doing warranty repairs - he is always saying never to buy Samsung.

    Totally agree on Samsung appliances, my wife says they need to stick to phones. I have a Samsung stove and dryer that are very problematic.

    On the freeze up, I had that happen a couple times with a maytag I used to have...sometimes a thermostat, drain may just need cleaning or an evaporator...

    Have I complained about my idiot client recently? Won't agree to a simple letter of intent to pay for fees incurred while their legal and procurement **** about with the last change order...

    Finally get back the change order redlines and they struck out two words which have no material impact, but insert an inane paragraph about their spend to date on related work with our company...

    I cleaned the drain after melting the ice out. Hopefully, that is all it is.

    Pulled it up from the drain pan or just poured water down it?

    My fridge would freeze the drain then piss on the floor.

    Took several times before I realized that dust had built up where the drain tube met the pan.

    I melted the ice on the top of the drain with hair dryer and wiped it out with a towel. No ice was there when I put it back together. I pulled the drain tube from under the fridge and cleaned it of dust and grime that had built up. Last night, the water was on the floor under the door of the freezer and would show up within 30 minutes of being wiped up. This morning there was not any water and my wife has not told me about any mess today. I am assuming I fixed it last night unless I find something different when I get home from work.

    Had a similar issue with our Samsung fridge over the summer. After hours with the hair dryer and still not getting it to drain I hit the drain tube with 100psi and shot an ice cube across the kitchen. Good times
