My New Whip
Yup 400 is all he wanted he said if he haddent just put tires on it he'd have just given it to me for free. I'm probably gonna fix the little bit of rust, put rhino lining on the bed, maybe lift or a leveling kit nothing major, brush guard/bull bumper, new radio and speakers, extra rims and tires, and maybe a few engine mods it had the 4.0L v6. Once the engine goes I'll probably do a 351 swap or 302..........but I should get another 100,000 out of the engine and tranny.

My New Whip
Well its not the Jeep or Subaru I was looking for it was to good of a deal to pass up. Its a 99 Ranger XLT flare side only rust on the whole thing is a little bubble on the drivers side rocker and on the part of the side window that props it open. Only has 87K miles on it just had a tune up and transmission rebuild plus brand new cooper weather master tires all the way around. It needs rear drums, and the front left rotor sticks a little, blower motor resistor, radio and antenna(antenna is this tiny short thing that pics up very little) and the 4x4 needs the vacuum lines replaced or hooked up. Seems like a long list of stuff to fix but probably gonna cost me no more then 1000 considering I can do 100% the work my self I might take it in for the 4x4 to get worked on as I'm not certain that's whats wrong with it just going by what I was told. I paid $400 for it basically the price for the 4 new tires that were put on it a week ago. My soon to be ex father in law sold it to me he is the original owner of it and always babied it. So of the 3000 I budgeted for I'm only 400 into it so it leaves me room for the few easy repairs and maybe a brush guard and another set of rims and tires for summer.

Wow I didn't think it would be that hard I guess idk I can see em fine at that distance with my naked eye and even my cheap binos I didn't think it would be difficult to get a picture with a camera at that range.

How far can they zoom what kind of lense would be needed to take a picture of say a coyote mocking me at 600+ yards howling just out of range my rifle(for now). I want to be able to capture some of them shots of them or any other animal I cant get close to.

I'm mostly going to be taking wildlife shots and maybe sports as my boys get older. I was looking at best buy at the cannon EOS line up they seem like what I might be looking for. I didn't see anything about a "burst" mode but did see it on one of the nikons I looked at also.

Coaching Of The Youth
My oldest is about to be 4 and he's showing intrest for motor sports and outdoors. He's been begging for a 4 wheeler and wants to race. Iv found some kids wheelers 125cc that will do 45mph but they come with a remote kill switch and can be adjuste down to 5mph. The local shop has toddler full face helmets and chest plates, jackets, boots. So we may get him into that I'm actually more reserved about it then his mother is. Then his uncle shoots bow competitively and he wants to shoot also so we got him a bow and im picking one up soon also. He's not to into "sports" but neither was I besides baseball. He's got an arm on him I'd like to see both my boys play football or baseball get good and get a ride threw college saves my wallet some haha. But if he wants to race quads and dirt bikes I suppose he can do that.

Coaching Of The Youth
Yeah I hate this whole everyones a winner crap. I used to coach a younger X-ball(paintball) team a well as played for the field home team getting to travel all over. Me and the other coach had the same mentality with the younger guys 10-15 as with us guys on the traveling team that did xball, psp, and nppl. You beat the other team so bad they come off the field heads hung low dreading facing us again! It worked we were undefeated and so were the younger team.

Early Spring!
I want snow and cold for a solid month at least. I just bought new ice fishing gear all new fenwick ice rods, a snow ghili suit for coyote hunting also but the snow and ice hasn't stuck around long enough to use it. Cold teen or single digit temps for a few days then it warms up to 60+ and it all goes away.

Iv been thinking for a while now of getting into doing some photography mostly of nature. I have no clue of what I'd be doing kinda learn as I go. I also have no clue what a good camera would be to start with. I don't want to break the bank I know they can be rather expensive. I know I want it to be digital which like all cameras are these days and I want it to be able to take a bunch of really quick pictures I know some have a setting to snap a number of pictures each time. I want it to have a good zoom as well. I spend alot of time in the woods and out doors so I see alot of cool things I always want pictures of. Yesterday while hunting I watched a redtail hawk grab a rabbit and eat it not 75 yards from me I tried the whole phone to my binos for a zoom but it came out crappy lol. I see things like this all the time plus with all my hunting I would probably tote the camera a well and snap shots of fox and coyotes in the distance prior to the other kinda shot. I know there's a few guys here who are into it maybe some input from Fish Chris or J Francho

Falling Apart!
Well after tons of blood work and scans they are finally letting me go home. My liver enzyme are still elevated but coming down good and I feel fine now that they let me eat I ordered take out last night lol. They think I had a piece of "gravel" as he put it and it was blocking the duct and I passed it because they can't find anything and they have scanned my whole body plus looked in me with a scope nothing at all anymore. So now just waiting to be discharged and hopefully the wind dies down I feel like hunting before fox season ends in two weeks.

P90X
Insanity is mostly cardio yes. That's why I also lifted on top of it. Insanity got my run time down a ton plus the cardio helped me considering I did the army 10 miler and 2 half marathons and countless 5k's I used to get winded running 100yards lol. I'm dieing to start insanity again but this gallbladder and stones issue has me out for now. I might start up asylum also but idk it looks crazy.

Sounds good John Doc just came in they wanna do some ERCP but they don't do it here so they transport me by ambulace to Rochester to have it done. They think I still have a stone that's acting like a ball valve that blocks every now and then so they wanna do this ERCP thing to check.

P90X
I wasn't a fan of p90x I have both of the p90x versions plus insanity and asylum I liked insanity the best. I was doing insanity plus lifting while I was deployed with great results. I did the ab ripper x also from p90x it's brutal both the ab specific work outs for both p90x abd insanity are nuts.

Falling Apart!
Just got back from the hida scan(sp???) waiting to see the surgeon and results from that. They think I might have a gallstone still blocking the common bile duct. They had me on antibiotics when I was in the hospital but when I left just vicoden for pain. Hopefullythey get me out soon I feel fine I'm wondering if maybe I just ate something bad Sunday night but then again that doesn't explain the jaundice and peeing blood both of which are gone now.

Sounds good maybe in a few months I can eat wings again I used to eat 40-50 wings a sitting my best was 66 in one sitting back in 2006 hooters in Hartford Connecticut to win a flatscreen tv for my dorm lol. Now I usually limit myself around 40 either country sweet if it's local or hot, Arizona ranch(Quaker steak and lube) or some other flavor with a bite.
