Thanks. I wondered about the price point and heard it was pushing $5 which is waaaaay to much considering the alternatives. I have no doubt your guns will run circles around it. That one I have is sooooo sweet! So sweet I had another 2500 rounds delivered today b/c I've shot more in the last 3 months than I have in last 3 years!
This always both amuses me to no end and is also an indication that mother nature is a smart lady. Mature buck was a feeder whore until mid September and we could set a clock by his morning and evening appearance on the camera. Hasn't been seen since.....day or night on camera or in person. Whaddaya know. About 12 hours after season ends Sunday and he's right on time 7:15am on Monday.
I have got to get myself motivated and do the forms to build out some SBRs. I have several I've been waiting to convert from pistols but I can't get myself in gear to dive into the details of how to properly fill out the forms. Mental block / avoidance is real in my case.
We've got corn piled up around some feeders that's been sitting for days at a time. The hogs and aoudad aren't even cleaning that up on a consistent basis. I've seen it pile up like this before, but never this late in a year or for weeks at a time. Typically if it's not vacuumed up overnight it is during those rare times when there are both wild persimmons ripening along with an acorn drop. That lull in activity might last a week or two at the most. This has been season long and there are still certain oaks with acorns dropping now.
Unremarkable hunting season in the hill country this year. Our group killed four good bucks (+135") but overall it was a bust for most. Acorns still falling the week of christmas and deer movement was basically non-existent for the season to date. Should set up for good mortality and herd strength going into new year I guess, since there is zero stress for food and the fawn crop presumably had a good survival rate.
They do not.
It is an annual flat fee for medical services, testing, consults with the nutritionist, etc. They have no products to sell and only recommend the types of supplements and specific dosing.
Similar to some of the executive health models, but in an ongoing relationship model rather than 3 days worth of testing and off you go.
Shingles vaccine only affected me with mild symptoms - like a 24 hour cold. My wife was hit with a few days of lethargy but didn't feel "bad".
I'll say this- I've seen a couple of men who are otherwise tough as a boot be reduced to whimpering mess by a bad case of the shingles.
One fella had it in his eyelids. Each case is wholly unpredictable.
Based on what I've observed, I'd rather crawl through glass, so the vaccine was an easy choice.
Mentioned upthread that I'm a client of a longevity doc (or his group) on a annual plan- concierge type deal where they monitor and test all kinds of stuff for a flat fee.
18 months in and following their protocol, my numbers are pretty damn good for my age and metrics are improving but still had some lingering fatigue.
Overall energy levels and mitochondrial markers weren't lining up with other indicators.
Glutathione was also lower than it should be and still wasn't improving as quickly as it should with supplementation.
Well, turns out my NAD+ levels are in the severely deficient range (17.5) and now I'm taking steps to reverse it.
For what it's worth and if anyone ever has interest in NAD+, the test is "Intercellular NAD Report" by Jinfiniti Precision Medicine.
Used in concert with a NutrEval Plasma test by Genova to measure things like oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and omega imbalance.
Sponsee raves about his experience at La Ha and loves going back (to visit).
Better said is that he raves about his second stint there. His first run was a just an attempt to save his job (MD), so that's on him and not the facility.
Second time through he was trying to save his life and had a wholly different experience.
He's a new man.
Son flew Newark to IAH yesterday. Original flight cancelled. Rebooked, delayed, delayed again, then departure moved back two hours to the good, then that was delayed again.
He ended up getting to IAH in the wee hours, but said it was an absolute circus both in the terminal and with regard to the communications he was getting from the airline.
No different than anyone else flying this weekend.
He's levelheaded and a bit of an old soul. His mom was asking if he was stressing out. He reminded her it was 100% out of his control so there was nothing for him to stress over.
Easy for him to say as a single guy with minimal responsibility and access to his work remotely if needed.
My heart goes out to families and inexperienced travelers without flexibility- financial or otherwise.
I grew up playing ball with a guy like this. In today's world he would probably be considered on a spectrum of something.
He was incredibly smart and a good athlete but he couldn't separate what he thought should happen in a game vs. what was happening.
If a defense didn't react the way a play was designed, he'd spin off mentally b/c "they didn't do what they were supposed to do". He'd get so fixated on how the play was designed to work he couldn't operate in the reality of what was happening.
Not sure if that applies here but I can't help thinking about him spinning off in an intellectual tizzy instead of adjusting when I see this offense continue to run into a brick wall without deviation.
Ha! Yeah. I put that there 20 years ago for an old guy so he could see.
It's a bow hunting only stand. I expect that box to fall over any day now. Not sure there is even a floor in it anymore.
