Went down to Nacogdoches a couple months back to help a buddy with his pig problem. I shot two crankers the first night- 272 lbs and 223 lbs. I shot another small boar the 2nd night that weighed 138 lbs. First time using the Ruger SFAR .308 suppressed with a SilencerCo Omega can (which is not the gun I'm holding in the pics). I'm running a day/night vision scope and using a thermal scanner that connects via USB to my phone. Budget setup, but happy with it for my needs. The thermal image is better than what you see in the video. The file size was compressed to upload.

I have a propane, a big offset and a smaller PK charcoal/wood grill. Wood imparts the best flavor of any of them. A bit of a learning curve with wood/charcoal when it comes to smoking on them. As far needing to babysit them, if its a well built good quality smoker they dont take alot of babysitting once you learn to operate them. I can smoke for 8 hrs without adding fuel or adjusting the temperature. You can get thermometers that blue tooth to your phone or unit in the house were you can set alarms for high and low temps. Like everything quality results usually take a bit more work but the flavor of meat smoked with real wood is worth it for me. If you are willing to give up a bit of quality for the easy button pellet grill are the next step down. But then you also have electronics to operate and fail. I use the propane only when we are doing large batches of heavily seasoned products like summer sausage and deer sticks when the other smokers are already full.

Looks like it was taken at your place snowy!, lol

by the way, the melons are in, just waiting for them to break ground...

Wants to know if the buyer wants the rest of the string. If you look at the catalogue the grades encompass multiple lots withing the string. A lot of times the buyer who wins the first lot will buy the remaining lots at the same price.

A large male taken indicate that’s the only chuck there in early June?

These, and wash them out the next year and put the vinegar and a drop of soap in it

I think in Oregon fruit prices at our farmers markets are considerably higher than in the midwest. All of us berry growers at the farmers market tend to charge the same prices, even the Russian farmers from out of the area that aren't organic.

Strawberries right now are $6/pint. Raspberries and blackberries $5/ half-pint. We charge $8/ pint for razz and blueberries.

I have a friend in central Wisconsin that grows razz and strawberries and she just shakes her head at those prices.

We also sell by the flat. Blueberries and raspberries are $36 half flat and $70 full 12 pint flat.

I have about five acres of blues, what we don't sell at the farmers' markets goes into the wholesale organic market for about $45-50 a flat.

To me astigmatism is the big deal in favor of prisms. I have pretty bad astigmatism and dots aren't clear for me. I see a fuzzy dot. Anything other than a large dot is pretty much useless to me, no use having horseshoes multiple dots, etc. Best I can do is center the blur and bang.

Youre blessed

I see no point in even making a comment here. Let those who allowed it to happen reap the reward.
