Morning Woods!
I shall purchase a fresh turkey today, and will load it Thursday on the pellet grill.
16 mouths to feed that day, some are smaller than others. LOL

Morning Woods.

Ken, prayers for Gail. Compression fractures are no joke, but depending on how bad the deformation is, it's only a matter of time before one does recover from it. I sincerely hope it isn't too bad.

I just don't see my AR for anything that far out. Have a TLR4 on the nightstand gun. For that I like having a laser. For carry I would prefer the smaller profile. @FNGonaRK helped me set my Vortex stuff up right on my AR. Guy knows his way around firearms, that's for sure.
Vortex makes some damn good equipment for the money. Streamlight does too. I can't say the EOtech and the Trijicon have been able to outperform them in real world use. At the end of the day, you take care of your equipment but plan for it to fail and have a backup plan.

I have something special in the works for my 43x, but you'd likely hate the idea, so I'm just gonna wait and show you when it's done and you can't stop me.

I'll be heading out shortly to stuff mufflers with steel wool....forgot to do that when I parked in my buddy's polebarn. Then off to see bro-in-law and pick up wifeys ring. He owns jewelry store and of course does all our jewelry work. Then probably home to start the house cleaning for turkey day. At least this gets me out of house for a bit and moving!!

Poor timing, Russ. I was about to post a treatise on the root of the word 'amuse'. By the way, its origin is not Latin nor as old as we might muse.

Don’t let me stop the distribution of knowledge with a trip to Costco, there are hungry minds out there.

Steel wool in the muffler. I usually put a steel rod through it and emptied it out. Now, stuffing a grapefruit down a fartcan muffler is hilarious
