like you , I vacuum the excess water out unless it’s just a little.....once the roots get down near the bottom , sometimes it is beneficial to leave some water in the tray and the plants wick it up i finally went to raised 4 x 8 trays that were slanted so any excess water would run off into a 5 gallon bucket i took the runoff water and poured it on my outdoor plants ymmv

We poured our runoff on the outdoor tamaters and the fish food tea made them super sweet.

My dad had 3 lugers in his bag coming home. Navy boys stole them.

They also got the Luger that dad tried to bring back. I owned one 1917 Erfurt that I picked up at a good price and later traded.

Most of the police ammo for .38 was "law enforcement" or "+P" ammo. Quite a bit hotter. I've heard tales of .38 being hand loaded with wad cutters, but put in backwards. Front end nice and flat to cut clean target holes in paper. Other side is a huge hollow...loaded hot and at close range they can make messy wound channels. Some Law enforcement do or did use .45, typically a lighter bullet than 230 grain, I believe 180 grain hollowpoints. They traveled much faster than the 230 grain average of 800 fps or so, topping 1000 fps if +p. That bullet might do that sort of damage. Bubba

As you note, some were also hand loads, so could have been anything.

Who's really in charge out in the middle of a jungle with no witnesses in the middle of no where?
Best leader is the one whose men love him....and of course protect him. PBS shows a good documentary called "Charlie Company" which is enlightening on this point. bubba

It is easier to love a leader who does what he asks his men to do and tries to bring everyone back, than one striving for rank. You also can't please everyone, so sometimes what keeps someone from fragging an officer, is concern about what their fellow grunts would do to them.
 
I've been sick for a month with allergies, coughing, sore throat, and feeling like shit. Couple days ago it felt like razor blades in my throat and chest. Hasn't stopped me from doing what I do. Guarantee you if I went to the hospital I would have the Covid or its Varient. When the truth be known its the same shit ppl get sick with every God Damn year. Only difference is the hospitals are making a fortune calling it Covid.
 
Hopper, hope ya get better .. I've upped my vitamin C to 2K mg a day, with 50 zinc, and Ds and ** .. it helps recover from their manmade variants .

Israeli med site reported yesterday that a body's own immune system is at least 10x s more effective at fighting these variants than any vaccine out there .. ..

Every time I go out and mow, my voice goes up a couple of octaves and I get partial laryngitis. EVERYBODY around here has said this is one of the worst summers for allergies they've ever had.
Old Hen or Pullet can go outside and come back in, and within minutes I'm sneezing my arse off.
 
Good morning my old fart brethren. Took my wife's diamond ring in to get it appraised. Paid $5,000 for it 21 years ago. Appraised at $13,600. At least I did not get ripped off when I bought it.
About right. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend but they're not an investment in the true sense of the word.

Funny thing. We have coffee with a group of neighbors every Sunday morning. Half of us are Vaccinated and half of us are (non vaxers) as the liberal left puts it.

A week ago one of the women said her husband tested positive. He is a pilot for Delta. He was A symptomatic and had not effects. Delta required him to get the shot immediately and quarantine for two weeks. He got sick right after the shot and has been ever since. Sore throat, stuffy nose and aches and pains. He was fine until he got the shot. All the vaxers said .... good thing he got the shot or he would be in the hospital.....funny, I think the shot made him sick.

No reason the argue with this group....nobody on either side will change their mind....just bit my lip and took another shot of coffee. That is my shot for the day.

Came home went back to work up-potting. Done now. I have up-potted until I don't have a Pot To Piss in......bet I could fill it up if I did.....

Got to go out to the veggie garden and pull all played out veggies. This is a process that will take me a month or more. By the time I get the Horseradish made it will be November. Why do I do this every year....I could be fishing.

Daughter and SIL are coming over for a barbecue later...busy day....AGAIN!!!

My nose and eyes have been running constantly this season too.
