  1. Sounds like me pretty much. High school I didn't care slept threw or skipped class most the time only thing that held Intrest was science and history like you. Went to tech school maintained - 3.98 GPA with 99% attendance would have been 100% but I had court back home in NY. A couple times. I graduated high school 48 out of 49 only person below me was the mentally retarded kid who went to a special school but was "based" out of my hs.
  2. I got out for the first time in about 2 months te other day fishing a old friends pond. Last time I fished it every fish was 3+ lbs and it was every cast a fish almost 7 years ago. This trip was no fish till the heavy rain started and thunder was rolling in I was slaying 10-12" every cast practically lol. No big ones. Patched the kayak so hope to get it out this week or next.
  3. I think I'm gonna go Sunday I work all week then have my kids Saturday so I'll go Sunday. I would take the kids Saturday but a 8 month old a 3 year old and a 5 year old in a packed store by my self when I want to buy everything yeahhhhhh I'll wait till Sunday.
  4. Only because I missed the spring bite and I got lots of new stuff for my bow and want to stick a deer. If we could just go summer - fall - spring cut out winter of been cool with that though.
  5. I like all of Chris's stuff except when he attempted a rap album
  6. I was surprised as well to not see him. One of my favorites. Lizzy hale and Lacy Mosley as already mentioned are good as well. Lacy has got such a big voice for such a little girl( not age but she's physically tiny). Kimberly Perry is also good.
  7. Chris Cornell
  8. That's how I get a lot of my hunting property's ask to shoot ground hogs or coyotes get my foot in the door and it's usually not long that the land owner extends the offer to put up a deer stand.
  9. Nice! Love shooting woodchucks(groundhog) I got one a few months ago with the .17hmr out of my kitchen window lol. I've been focusing on taking them with the bow I got one last fall with the bow.
  10. Decided enough is enough and making some changes job my life. Changing my MOS in the army to blackhawk mechanic and gonna see where that takes me either crew chief or pilot. Starting a strict diet and work out regiment to get back into my deployment weight and shape of not better then that. I just moved and live across the street from the YMCA and a few miles closer to work and will be running to work till the snow starts falling. I've lawyered up and what's the saying "why are divorces so much? Because they are worth it" well at $300 an hour I sure hope so and that's with my employee discount because said lawyer owns the company I work for and happens to be ranked one of the best lawyers in NY. Gonna start fishing and hunting more along with starting some new hobbies shooting bow competitions, making lures, got some gun smithing projects and getting back into paintball. Time to finally make me happy and stop being a miserable ***** lol.
  11. Yeah just stating shoulda added to make sure they are legal in your state because some states consider them as barbed heads
  12. I've shot 3 deer deer with them I've only been bow hunting 1 season though so 6 weeks. 1 I watched drop after punching the heart ran about 30 and crashed. Then the buck in above pic bad shot went 100yards or more crossed a creek and dropped in the other side soon as it made it ashore but if you were to take straight line distance he only went 50 yards just on the other side of the hill then down a ravine and across the creek. The third was another bad shot placement I shot over top of her hitting the backstrap.
  13. It's like that here also or at least I think it is either way I don't listen to it. Mine are all in individual cases with the ammo in the same case with the exception of the shot guns and my sons 22 they are either in the corner or on the rack.
  14. I shot a spike probably 15 years ago with a 12ga copper solid sabot about 130 paces out and hit it in the spine. Passed threw and hit a tree no more then 4" in diameter. Couple of the "leafs" got bent and the sabot fell to the ground and I recovered it and still have it to this day. I've pulled tons of lead slugs, even sabots both shotgun and muzzle loader out of deer that have been shot from point blank to 200yards. I process my own deer and all my buddy's so I get to see what each type of round does. Some times the pass threw some times they don't. Old style slugs seem to flatten out and stay in the body or just under the skin on the opposite side.
  15. Nothing will bring a realization of skipping and ricochets then firing tracers. Watch some machine gun night training videos on YouTube or I'll try and upload some I got a few tracers are 4 ball 1 tracer so you gotta think others are skipping g but you only see the tracer and they burn out at 900m so they keep going after what you can see.
  16. Shot this one in the arse look close you can see the blood stained hair. No pass threw with a mechanical broad head(reapers) little over 100 yard track blood everywhere. Jumped over a log soon as I hit the trigger.
  17. Weather bug here as well love it
  18. I did some talking with my PL yesterday about it during weapons maintance. He said I had a few options. Stay in my company get my 5 and then go warrent and fly. Or transfer over as E4 and wait for a 5 slot to open there and then go warrant. Another big big perk of switching to aviation is there are always AGR jobs it can hold me back promotion wise in some ways because if the slot is for E4 I can't take my E5 promotion because I would loose my Monday - Friday job or any other rank unless there is a slot open above it. Plus the way they transfer military skills now I can get a job working on helicopters outside of the army also. It just makes sense to me I went to college for auto tech and am a ASE master tech then I thought diesel and heavy mechanics in a vocational school. I've worked on boats, trucks, race cars, you name it but nothing that flies so why not knock that off the list I'm sure I'll pick it up quick with the background I have. Also I could become a crew chief if not warrant officer to fly I could be a crew chief and be a door gunner. I already know the weapons systems like the back of my hand being in weapons squad now plus my first two years in I was a 240 gunner then 249. I've been every role in a line squad but a grenadier.
  19. I might pick up the new fatal steel ones
  20. I shoot grim reapers and won't ever change
  21. Sounds about right when I deployed in 12 we got 30 to zero with then got in country and didn't even get to confirm zero till august....I was in country starting in April and left in December.
  22. Got a whole crate to burn threw today that's 1680 rounds. I thought I was going to melt my barrel. Hit the 800 standing after like 2 mags trying to find where I was hitting at that range lol. Did some good mag change drills put it on burst and drilled the 25-300 on burst that was a lot of fun. Shot out to 700m off hand. All the target practice is over now got a night run on our little training lane and then that's it for trigger time.
  23. Yes tax dollars at work and sadly this is just a small part of how much is wasted. I've been logging lots of flight time the last two weeks for nothing more then joy rides disguised as "practicing how to load and unload a helicopter" imagine all that fuel. Or we can look at it as next conflict we get into as I'm sure another will be soon. Our pilots will be good and our infantryman( like myself) will have no problem taking long shots with our M4 service rifles.
