A bit lesser known & off-the-wall, loosely based on a Bram Stoker novel, but just about guaranteed to make you cringe at least once or twice...

Hoping the deputy makes a swift & full recovery.

Welcome back!
That is one sleek & businesslike looking Saiga, I like.

Nice!
I may end up going this direction due to my old eyes having a hard time finding & re-acquiring the front sight.

Robot bombs are crude, but effective. How 'bout a gun-bot?

458 SOCOM pistol upper build parts from Tromix & 500 brass for same. Vortex Spitfire etched reticle prism sight.
Got the beast working now after some initial problems with optic (RTFM) & gas-block migration were addressed.

50 yard group with factory 300gr HPs won't win any prizes, but it's certainly 'sub-Minute of Bear or Cougar'. Will be trying 405gr handloads later.

"Once is chance, twice is coincidence, 3 times is enemy action." How does 47 times rate?

Pencil AR barrel, a couple Anderson uppers & misc parts from JoeBob's. 2 premium BCGs from PSA.
Got a package today that I hadn't expected 'til tomorrow or Monday from Tromix. Tony & crew are on the ball! Just got done assembling upper, will hit the range tomorrow.

Got up on the correct side of the dirt, assumed a vertical stance without assistance, nothing hurting too bad to use.
'negative post'? 'positive post'?

Powder, primers, bullets & magazines.

Happy Birthday! Looks like you did good.

Some 'laid-back' horsepower?
And not so laid-back.

1080 rounds 5.45 ammo on stripper clips fits in about 1.67 layers. Room left over for a few magazines & 'spoons'.

There should be 'alternate' facilities available: 'The slit-trench is out back.'

For me, the S-12. If I didn't have more rifles than shotguns (and 2 them in 7.62x51) it'd be a tough choice due to the versatility of the shotgun vs the range of the rifle.

Front-burner items:
1: 458 SOCOM pistol upper. Tromix has a 10.5" upper ready to go, but I'll be getting the parts & assembling it the way I like.
2: Ruger Precision Rifle, probably in 6.5 CM.
Indeterminate future:
3: 5" full-underlug pre-lock 629. To my eye, this is a just about perfectly proportioned DA revolver.
4: Maybe a .20 practical upper.
Some day:
5: SSG82
6: Something in 338 Lapua, assuming I ever get good enough with RPR 6.5 that I want more 'reach'.
7: Phillips & Rodgers M47 Medusa
8: SVD

Meat? One possible answer to the 'Fermi Paradox' (if there are other intelligences, where the hell are they?)

'CTRL ALT Revolt!' by Nick Cole is a pretty entertaining take on AI, especially if you're a gamer.

If anything, we're probably evolving towards the nebbishes in T J Bass' "Half Past Human" & "The Godwhale".

Or, maybe the pudgy humanoids in "Wall-E"
This is all assuming we don't kill ourselves off too soon or civilization doesn't turn out to be a passing fad: who knows what any surviving 'feral' humans might evolve into...

Spacehog,
I just watched the video. You have good reason to be proud; your daughter has a beautiful voice, and did a great job signing the National Anthem. Thank you both!

Also, I seem to get a little dust in my eyes or something whenever I hear The National Anthem sung this well. This time is no exception.

Cold Steel makes something they call a 'boar spear'. I've seen mixed reviews on it. Kult of Athena carries a metric shit-ton of pointy-stabby stuff: Maybe the Frankish spear head, sharpened-up & fitted to a stout ash staff would do the trick.
I've also read that 'boars don't really drive themselves up the spear shaft to get you: you don't need a cross-piece behind the spear head.' It'd be just my luck to pick a fight with a boar that hadn't read that...
