I've never had any problems with getting packages from amazon
I just send them to my sisters address she's much closer to town
I ordered a champion hoodie on dec 2041315_BLAC_2048x.jpg
On dec 22 i was notified it was delivered amd placed on the porch
It wasn't so i got a refund
So i went to order another one and they were 50% off so i ordered 2 on dec 22
Today i checked and the package was in Kentucky somewhere since dec 24
So i got another refund.
My sister called and the first hoodie ii ordered arrived today
Really not impressed with it it's supposed to be for cold weather but it's very thin.81gB6hAwLnL._AC_UY780_.jpg
These sherpa were like 12.00 when i bought a couple they are my favorite very warm and cheap
I just needed a lighter hoodie for work.

Not trying to convince anyone just telling my experience
I have little experience with the modern taurus revolvers the 80s/90s I'm familiar with i had a few .357s don't remember anything just not a revolver guy
a new tracker .44 mag i had was fine no problems just to expensive to reload for.
Going back to the early 2000s i had a pt99 9mm and pt101 .40 that were excellent
a few ago Year's now i started with the first tx .22 and i couldn't tell you how many thousands of rounds are though it
It was everyone's favorite until the tx .22 compact was introduced and i put a optic on it's the new favorite.
Me and my friends have multiples of the 9mms g2c,g3,g3c,gx4, gx4 carry and my latest favorite ts9
My ccw trainer friend has several for loaners classes he lets students shoot as much ammo as they want to bring.
They introduced these today.
I have a variety of pistols and the Taurus's have been just as reliable and accurate as any of them.
Yes they function, they sell a ton of Taurus 9mm where my wife works. I’ve picked them up and handled them tried the trigger out on several. They get mixed reviews back some love them others think they’re ok for a 2-300$ gun. A cz or ruger is only 100$ or so more made in the us or Chech republic, both have good reputations for quality smoother triggers and high quality internals. My cz p10s is super accurate for a short barrel subcompact, has a cold foraged barrel, nice sights and a heck of a nice trigger for 400$ or less depending on deal you find. I think of guns as something I’ll keep long term and if I choose not to keep I want them to hold their value so I’ll keep with the more expensive guns and have a couple less.

Those usps people have more important stuff like junk mail ads to deliver and they don’t care about your purchases
Another government entity that needs to be investigated and cleaned up

We had several Christmas gifts that got stranded in DCs all over this year. We ordered them in November and they weren’t here a week before Christmas. Contacted the sellers and they shipped again via UPS and we got everything in time except one canvas print from Shutterfly. When we came home from out of town and we had a pile of packages at the post office.

Morning gentlemen! I’ve been taking a break from the phone/internet as much as possible while we’ve been off for the holidays so I haven’t been on here as much the past couple weeks. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Years. It’s back to the grind for the wife and kids next week, so we plan on being pretty lazy this weekend. The kids and I plan on hitting the woods a couple more times with this young squirrel dog to see if we can put a few more in the freezer. She has really turned it on this year!

I spent yesterday making sure my three generators would fire up/run and I had plenty of gas and propane just in case this cold air causes problems for us in east TN. I don’t mind snow, but ice and freezing rain can cause some major issues for us with power outages back here in the sticks.

Good morning Dustin. I think I best dump my fuel and put fresh in mine too.

UPS has a cheaper shipping option called Sure Post. We pick up the package and move it through our system and deliver it to USPS for final delivery. As of yesterday it went away and we are now making the final delivery. I'm sure that this has been in the making for a while since all decisions like this don't just happen overnight, but our worthless management is acting like they just found out it was happening. A lot longer days for us now, especially since young/seasonal drivers took out two of our brown trucks during December. All rentals were returned Christmas eve or the day after and they can't get permission to get more. I am hearing from several people about packages shipped USPS in November that they are still waiting on and I would not be surprised if it takes another month for them to almost catch up.

Good morning guys,

no pick-up message from MaskinSalg, no trip to Evje today.
Two chainsaw parts are coming in the mail today, I'll pick them up when I go grocery shopping.

Is .308 Norma Mag available over on your side of the pond?
Yep, but they're rare. Norma still makes ammunition for the caliber.

They have made it easier to apply for a gun permit with an online system, but they removed some wildcat calibers like 30-378.
That said, my weatherby only has a higher value after this lol
I have heard of the 30-378 before but it isn’t too common around here. I was looking at some factory ammo online…that’s some expensive ammo! No wonder you handload! $170/20 rounds on Midway for Weatherby and up to $195/20 rounds for HSM. Other than some of the safari/dangerous game loads, that’s about the most expensive load on the market. Now I want to shoot one!

These weather folks don’t have a clue what’s going to happen. I would rather be ready and not need it than be sitting here with no power and water! I love our well water, but it sucks in extended power outages.

We can cook on the wood stove, and we don't have well water. We need to keep the freezers and the water heater going though.

The downside to here is everything is powered off different locations, lol. I have one generator for the well since it’s powered from the shop, one for the freezer/fridge in the detached garage, and another for the house. I did add a transfer switch to the house this year so I just pull the Miller bobcat welder down here and it runs what we need except the heat pump. We have two propane heaters/fake stove deals that keep the house bearable. Whoever took the wood stove out and capped the brick chimney should be beat! I really want to add a wood burner back in here and may explore those options this summer.

We never got to buy ammunition for this one, so handloading was the only option.
But I still remember when I bought 100 weatherby cases that it was very, very expensive lol

I like rare calibers, my 7x64 Breneke is also one I have to order, or handloading. It is one of the most popular calibers in central Europe, while here in Norway it is American calibers that are most popular.

I used to enjoy playing with long range rifles and still have a 6.5-284 Norma and .338 Lapua. Both are custom guns with chassis style stocks. I have no use for either of them really, but I don’t sell many guns unless I just don’t like them at all. My son is getting more interested in shooting longer ranges, but we have to drive over an hour to get to a 1000yd range and you have to be a member. I let mine go when we moved due to the travel time.
