  2. Coronavirus

    @tdhoosier

    For me these graphs bring up the question of how many people are getting tested but have no symptoms?  People that are getting tested out of curiosity or worry.  I know when I got tested they asked for all the symptoms I had.  I cant imagine there are that many people out there that are sick with non covid right now.

    When I think of Cherries, I think of Traverse City, MI but Michigan is not the State. However great segue to the next clue. Both the State of MI and the State of Wisconsin have a town/city with the same name, spelled exactly the same but pronounced completely  different. The Wisconsin City is the winner!

    Well I learned something today.

    What city is the International Cherry Pit-Spitting contest held in? In case you're interested the championship record is 93' 6.5". The same record holder the same year spit 110' 4" in the freestyle competition, a Guinness Record!

    Hint, the state has a BIG school in it.

    Cant remember the city but I know it's in Michigan.

    And just after I posted this, one of my regional managers just sent me this.....

    "Wow! None of the refrigerators I ordered last week came in"

    Ugh

    I bought a new range from home depot recently.  Took 2 weeks to get it delivered.  Asked the sales rep about refrigerators while I was there.  Said if I ordered that day expect to wait until September for delivery.  Hope mine holds on a few more months.  Its where my food lives.

    Not much new in here- https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2020-07-08/indiana-governor-defends-officer-response-to-assault-report

     

    Liell said she and Booker are calling on Holcomb to consider taking guns away from DNR officers and “significantly” limiting their jurisdiction.

    Um, what?  Most counties in Indiana only have 2 conservation officers per county often working alone and they have to deal with armed people regularly during hunting seasons.

    What has been underreported is if this event took place on private property.  I have rather strong feelings about trespassers as one burned down the house (unoccupied at the time) on our family farm.   I'm curious as to how some of you feel about trespassing, or whether it even matters in this incident.

    The property issue needs to be cleared up. Have dealt with trespassing plenty of times. Sometimes a simple misunderstanding, a few times other hunters blatantly poaching on our land. Many a broken/stolen deer stands and no trespassing signs, ratchet straps.  Had one stand chained and locked to the tree with a door with padlock over the steps and still stolen. Finally caught the guy and dealt with it. Trespassers are like cockroaches. 

    That said, unless these people were seriously provoked they overreacted bigtime. I dont respect people that cant handle themselves.

    I'm not drawing any conclusions but one thing I noticed in one of the videos, Booker appeared to be calmly waking away beside the woman from the other group with his back to the morons.  I would think after having supposedly been assaulted you wouldn't give up your back and be blind to your assailants.  

    If his story turns out to be true, if it was me, I would get better tougher friends.

    I got lifetime permits seems like 5-6 years ago.  When my daughter turned 18, one of her gifts was a lifetime carry permit.  As I understand, the 4 (5?) year permits are now free but I would always recommend spending the money and getting the lifetime permit unless you're past 70.

    As much as I would like national reciprocity it's a long shot. But my long term goal is to move to somewhere in Montana. With a lifetime permit I can carry in about 38 states.

    There is a reason people from anti freedom states get Utah permits.

    My most treasured M1 Garand is an International Harvester made in Evansville, Indiana.  IH wasn't very good at making Garands and had to eventually get help from Springfield to mostly finish their contract, so IH Garands are considerably more scarce than other receivers.

    In a carbine, the one I don't have that I want is a Rockola.  I just think it would be cool to have a gun made by a jukebox company.

    I made a vacation out of it.  I had the option of going to the CMP store in Camp Perry Ohio(Ohio sucks) or Anniston, Alabama.  So I chose the south. It was my wife and I's first vacation after being married. She didnt understand why I would drive 12 hrs to but a rifle. We stopped, stayed in Nashville the first night, her first time there.  Saw the Shiloh/Pittsburgh landing battlefield.  Spent a couple hours in the CMP store, and spent 3 days in Nashville on the way home. When she saw the cmp store she was hooked. Just like when she saw the first Indiana fireworks store. There is a world beyond pop its and sparklers. 

    Our handgun permits or cu expired and she is the one pushing me to get lifetime permits.  We will tomorrow.  My wife is from Illinois.  I Taught her well. 

    My Garand has a '53 Springfield reciever with a Harrington and Richardson operating rod. The wood is original production, so not modern aftermarket.  Mine was a Greek return.

    They are literally $400-500 now.  That's partially due to time value, partially due to increased collector interest and partially due to what IUFLA posted earlier...record numbers of gun buyers driving the market.

    Geez, I'm glad I got my Garand when I did and am kicking myself in the ass for not gettin a Winchester Garand receiver and an Iver Johnson M1 Carbine.  I had the money but I just wanted the M1 Garand at the time.

    This evening, I shot a Chinese military issued SKS from the Korean/early Vietnam era.  I'd bought three of them which had been sitting in cosmoline grease since the 50's & 60's, tore them completely down and ran them through a buddy's parts washer, then oiled them up, reassembled them and put a 40-round pro-mag on the oldest looking one to shoot.  What a blast.  That old war horse cycled the 20 rounds I loaded in it without a hiccup.

    My grandpa, who fought in Korea and Vietnam had an sks. The story was it was a battlefield pick up and he sent it home.  No way to really prove it but I dont have it to verify.

    But I do remember when you could buy cases of surplus sks for $60 each.

    ...and in my 3 plus years of doing background checks, I have had ONE denial and I guarantee this guy is not a hardened criminal.  He's just unlucky enough yo have a name, address or social security number similar enough to a criminal to trigger a delay.  He's working on getting a UPIN to avoid denials in the future.

    If I remember right, in Indiana, if you have a valid LTC permit you can bypass the NCIS check. 

    My wife and I are about to get lifetime  permits asap.

    Just heard a news tease that there was an incident in Bloomington over last weekend.  White men beating a Black guy and then saying "Get a noosel".  Happened on 4th of July.  Don't know what happened.  Not IU related, I guess.  Still being investigated per B-ton mayor.

    I'm not going to post it but there is a series of cell phone videos condensed in 1 youtube video. Look up Jeremy Hogan on youtube if want too see it. Those people are not from monroe county.

  24. Pizza.

    I will fight somebody over what’s the best deep dish pizza. I’ve put a lot of thought into this over the years so if you want to debate me you better come at me guns blazing. 😎

    First, I’ve talked to many people who have developed a negative opinion on deep dish because they either get imposter pizza outside of Chicago or have tried Pizzeria Uno (barf) Or Connies (double barf). If this sounds like you, then give it another try. 

    The best Chicago Deep dish is made with the CORNMEAL CRUST. That’s right, you hear me lovers of Girodanos. I’m sorry, but doughy crust with all that cheese and all that sauce just throws off the ratio and it lacks crispiness. We’re supposed to be eating pizza not triangle shaped lasagna.

    That leaves you with Lou Malnatis (1A On my list) and Ginos East (1B On my list). Both have great pepperoni and amazing sausage. Lou Malnati’s gets the nod because they have ‘The Lou’ which is a tomato, spinach, mushroom pizza. 

    I'll second Lou Malnatis.  Haven't had Ginos but I think they have one in Indy now, would like to try it sometime.  Also, Lou's has really good salads and their dressing is awesome.
