  1. Even with bumpfire, 600 rnds would probably get the barrel hot enough to melt the receiver.  Sustained rate of fire for the AR is 60 rounds per minute from what I remember from the Basic Rifle Marksmanship TM.  So bumpfire mag dumping 100 rnd quadstacks is going to overheat that weapon quickly.  He had to have changed out weapons to get to 1000 rnds.  He definitely had the weapons to burn.  I did see a weapon in a hottub, and I wonder if he tried quenching the weapons in that.

  2. We did blueberry pie and peach cobbler.

     

    Best night we had cooking was sloppy joes at a camporee.  We only had 3 scouts able to go, and the scoutmaster and my father weren't there all day, so we had to do it with no guidance.  We got confused on the ingredients, and added a can of V8 for tomato sauce and a can of tomato sauce.  Took forever to boil that V8 down, but it made the best sloppy joes EVER!  When the adults got back before the council fire, they tried the leftovers and couldn't believe we did that good.  That night we took 2nd place at the camporee, and beat our rival troop that had 50 scouts there.  And I work with 5 scouts that remember that night we beat them.

  3.  

    Basically the shooter behaved true to the usual whackjob shooter pattern, in that as soon as somebody disrupted him, he killed himself.  I'm not sure why so many of them do that rather than fight it out since they are going to die either way, but if they were easy to understand they probably wouldn't be crazy.

     

    I think it's God saying, "YOU!  GET YOUR BUTT UP HERE RIGHT NOW!  WE GONNA HAVE A TALK!"  And immediately, they suck start the pistol!

     

    Plain and simple, I'd hate to be his ass right now!

  4. The only tie downs rated 250 lbs.

    Ratchet strap 500 lbs.

    Load 1000 lbs.

     

    There's really not much I could have done.

     

    Keeping the buckets open and letting the buckets spill is actually the safest thing.  Otherwise when the strap breaks on lidded buckets, 140 lb buckets will start flying around.  I rather get beaned by a 1 lb bucket than get hit by a freight train.

  5. It would have been nice to have a strap around them, or have the seat up to hold them.  Normally, I only carry a bucket of concentrated black sand wedged in with the mining gear.  Was just grabbing the sand, as I needed the tailings for filling a muskrat hole, so this wasn't the norm.  I have a few lids, but the result would have been the same.  The black sands make those buckets really heavy, enough to pop the lids if they fall over.

     

    The worst part is, I'm not making jerky!

  6. On my way back from a trip to my mining spot, disaster struck.

     

    I was going through a dip with a bridge at the bottom, and as I just bottomed out, I saw a big doe on the shoulder at the end of the guardrail.  I jumped on the brakes and was slowing, and another doe crossed in front of me.  I slammed on the brakes, and still smacked her doing about 15-20 MPH.  Then I heard the clatter of the buckets and a swooshing sound.  Pulled over, and got out my light, and checked for damage.  The front seemed OK, except for the running/fog light seems to be loose.  Checked the highway and ditches for the deer, but didn't see anything.  Then I looked inside the car.

    Guess I just made the insurance agent's wall of fame!  Least I hit the deer, so insurance will cover!

     

    Now to clean up the shop vac, vac u suck the car, and pan out what I sucked up.

  7. Just picked up one of the Bug A Salt guns at Cabela's for $49.  Effing A!  This gun is a blast!  Made to kill bugs with table salt.

     

    Got the idea to test it out on the yellow jackets by the apple tree.  Will cripple on the first shot and kill by the second or third.  Bald faced hornets take a few more to kill.  It can kill a fly up to 36" away.  2" pattern at 24".  You want to be 12" or less when engaging a yellow jacket or hornet.  80 shots per hopper of salt.  Must have reloaded 5 times today, and there's a heck of a lot of dead bugs by the apple tree! 

     

    Can't wait to use it on the stable flies up on Lake Superior when I'm out mining.  Last time I was there, there were 100-150 flies sitting on each bucket ready to mob me.  Only the pyrethrin was keeping them off of me, and I'd still get bit on my arms where it got washed off. 

     

    Totally worth the money spent!  And no shortage of targets or ammo either!
