Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[sean donato]

I was at my cousins oldest birthday this weekend. We were discussing how the school I went to had added litter boxes in the bathrooms because some kids act like animals now. They call them furys or fluffys or something like that. They pay someone to scoop their pee and poo out of the litter box. Like seriously? Not only are they gender neutral bathrooms, but they have litter boxes in them. Wtf is this world coming to? Glad my kids don't go to that district, and they better not start that in the school my kids go to, I'll be at the next school board meeting.

Edit. I guess I should add I don't know for a fact if it's true or not. I don't know anyone in that district, as we all moved out of it for reason. even if its not I still can't believe it came up as a topic of serious discussion amongst adults, for something we had to worry about.

Is that a left-hand bolt action, or is that a mirrored image photo?

The bolt is on the "proper" side, it's a L.H. action! lol

When I was a kid, I always had to reach over to bolt a rifle, when I moved to Alaska, I wanted to hunt bigger big game and wanted to have rifles that fit me "properly". So, I bought a L.H. 7mm mag, as I had 45 boxes of ammo for that cartridge that I had bought for $90.00! (over loaded reloads) It didn't take long to figure out that I was just so much better with a bolt gun with everything on the proper side!

I then sold all of my RH bolt guns and started buying/building the rifles that I REALLY wanted, including the .338-06 I already posted about. SR

IDK about the litter boxes, but furries are a thing. I was at a party a few years ago,(not where I live, a more 'progressive' part of the state lol) and got stuck talking to this weirdo that was there. Anyway, he started telling me how his girlfriend had a side-biz making custom "tails" for furries. I won't say exactly how the tails attach, but let's just say it's more of a "plug" rather than a "clip."

Tell me about it...on a positive note, my friends and I now accuse each other of being furries.

Its like the twilight zone....If you asked me in high school if I ever thought this would happen id say your crazy. All I know is I want the T shirt when all this is over.

Are you shooting left handed, as well?
I don't see a left-handed bolt being any kind of advantage unless you are also shooting left handed.

Sorry, I haven't read enough of this thread to know if you mentioned that.

 

[MustangMike]

I have concluded that the increase in bizarre behavior is directly related to the increased use of drugs ... both illegal and prescription.

Logic and common sense are dying fast!

Yes, isn't that the proper way to shoot a long gun?? lol

I liked hunting dangerous game, and screwing around with rifles that didn't fit me properly, just wasn't cutting it!

I pretty much have all L.H. rifles now, especially the ones I've hunted with a lot, and double especially for my "go to" gun as it's set up exactly the way that I want it,

being my "go to" gun, I've put a lot of meat in my freezer with that one...

Nice job.
Did get any beech cut up .

Just one 8 inch tree. It was also raining later on so I worked on another project in my barn.

Logic and common sense died a long time ago.

 

[svk]

Logic and common sense died a long time ago.

Indeed.

Although a lot of young folks readily recognize and discuss the fact that their peers (such as the litter box pee'ers) are f-ed up.

Is that a drilling?

 

[MustangMike]

Another very nice rifle, looks like a drilling ... what gauge and caliber??? (That one does not have to be lefthanded!)

I know very little about guns, but being a leftie it makes a lot of sense to me that you want your gun to enable left handed operation. Most tools in this world are built too use right handed.... Some can be used either, some can but not quite so well or so safely, and summer just can't. Thankfully right handed chain saws are fairly easy things to use as intended.

Strange wood, is that some kind of oak wood?

 

[SS396driver]

Not collecting firewood this fall . Have more than enough for the next 3 seasons already stacked and a few cords worth in log length .

So been doing other things
Restored the vent windows today

 

[JustJeff]

I have practiced shooting left with my 30-30 creedmore weatherby magnum. Lol . It's handy when hunting from a ladder stand and they come in from where you don't expect.

I honestly don't know if you are trying to be funny, or you've just never seen a high-quality piece of wood on a firearm before?
