Island Of Misfits

Got my 30.06 out last week and it had a 14 inch spread at 200 yards. No good. Scope is a 35 year old Bushnell. Ordered a couple Vortex scopes and a torque wrench. Now it’s lost in the Carolina’s . I get a 50% discount so I always buy two. That’s just plan ole simple math.

Its a great feeling to have shit payed off.
I'm 68.
My Avalanche, Jag, Harley ,and Home are all payed off. Oh and my Wife's breasts.
Took me years of hard work but and it was all worth it.
I will probably never stop working. I like money and options. Plus it keeps me in shape.

Besides real estate, we stopped buying anything on credit that we didn't pay off monthly about 1980. Being debt free allowed me to retire in 2005 at age 62.

Being retired didn't mean I went golfing, I simply started a new profession that was new and exciting, namely Skunk Pharm Research, LLC, WolfWurx, Inc., and Graywolf Consulting, Inc.

I retired from those in 2016 at age 73, and my new profession is maintaining our properties and equipment, with the rest of the time spent playing in the gardens, cooking, creating new toys, the pets, and napping.

I think ongoing change is needed to keep the excitement up and creative juices flowing.

You sure it's the scope? Could be the loose nut behind the trigger.

I’m not the best shot, but I’m better than a 14 inch spread .

I picked this one up a couple of weeks ago. Burris is my second favorite scope, right next to Leupold.

Which 50 BMG do you have?

 

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

Good night ya'll!

 

[yarddog]

Which 50 BMG do you have?

Barrett semi auto. I think it’s the 82A1. Rarely shoot it. It’s a bit excessive

 

[Hippie420]

I've got a Burris 3x9 on a 700ML and two 700's in .243 and 300WM. Great little scopes.

Damn son, you've got some deep pockets to buy that Barrett, much less feed it!

If I'm really sick,,,which is not that often,,,I take off. If my job is no more secure than that,,I at my age will move on. To old for that bullshit.
I have a great job and I work for great ppl.Truth is,,even on my days off I get calls. I'm use to it. Plus I'm 5 mins from my Properties.
But like Yarddog,,,back in my younger days I felt the same way. I went to work sick many times because I had kids and a Wife to take care of and I couldn't afford to lose my job. Money was tight and jobs were sometimes hard to come by. So I get it brother.

Got to do whatever you can to keep a good job. I learned that at a young age from my dad. Then I saw all that he had from his job and followed his career. He retired a millionaire. I had the pleasure of working for his same company. He took pleasure in rubbing my nose in it when he could. But I new the job before I went to school so I acceled quickly and was a desirable employee.

I’m trying to get out of debt. I want to owe on the wife’s car and our house.

Time for this old Hippie to head off to dreamland. See ya's in the morning.

Good morning insomniac Misfits! Sitting on the couch, smoking a bowl with my baby.

Checked the garden earlier, and everything looks great. The Cherry Gar See Ya clone is ready for the tent. That leaves a Gabagoo F4 Autoflower (which just indicated female) and a White Truffle that are in the veg box.

I also have two Gabagoo Purple Autoflower that have just sprouted (same pot), gonna keep the stronger of the two. Finally, I have a Sour Patch Punch from Bootleg Seeds that I am trying. It popped in the paper towel/Ziploc baggie and I just put it in the dirt last night.
