I keep seeing mixed reports. Best I can figure from the news is an s&w m&p ar but that sounds like a pretty bottom of the barrel pick for an assination attempt.
Also, I am seeing 400 yards which would be possible for an ar but unlikely, based on the skill and accuracy of the population at my local range, especially if the person was non-military. Then, I see 150 ft. Which would be more realistic with a regular ar.

Today we had a campfire. We flipped through an old campfire cook book to see what they looked like and then the kids piled in the red wagon. We went to the oak woods on the back lot. My daughter loved watching everything and my son went around grabbing every stick in sight and lightly put it on the fire, just like I taught him. We learned about fire safety, how to put sticks on the fire and how to identify brown and dry sticks that would be good to burn. We would have roasted marshmallows but we had a tantrum earlier so we lost our "special treat". There was lots of poison ivy but that will be a lesson for another day, I am hoping we made it out ok. We also found 3 frogs under a log and got to hold one. That was a big hit.

A dad is not the same as a father, be a father.

They don't actually believe or follow their faith!

If you believe in the works and power of Jesus and God the Father, do as they teach! Don't turn the other cheek, but flip the table. Jesus showed us his suffering as a guide to light a pathway towards the kingdom of heaven. The pathway is difficult, treacherous and long. Fight the good fight for Christ and follow in his footsteps.

I am Catholic and I believe in the faith. I have a deep respect and reverence towards Orthodoxy. It blows my mind how many deny Christ when challenged. The world needs strong men. Those that deny Christ will suffer the eternal fires of hell, just the same as non believers.

In St. Faustina's diary, Jesus is speaking with her and identifies Poland as the spark that will prepare the world for His final coming. The quote from Jesus reads, "I bear a special love for Poland, and if she will be obedient to My will, I will exalt her in might and holiness. From her will come forth the spark that will prepare the world for My final coming" (Diary of St. Faustia).
St. Faustia was a Catholic mystic that had daily visions of Christ. She died at 33 from TB and lived at the start of WW2. Interesting thing - she would pray for the sinners and her city but out of a 30 hour audio book, I don't think she mentioned the war once.

*Cringe*

They are not baptized, so would not be welcome into the kingdom of heaven. Are they just expecting to go to hell?

I have recently moved up to yello bird habanero and Elijahs ghost pepper sauce. What should I get next? I have Elijahs reaper sauce but haven't gotten into it yet.

A 3 blade razor and or blade cartridge is 3-5 dollars a piece. So you end up a dull blade you keep around for way too long because you don't want to buy more of them. You still end up spending 60 bucks a year and still supporting proctor and gamble.

Or... Learn how to shave with a double edge razor. A 100 pack of Derby blades is 9.99. You can have a 2 year supply and still shave with a new blade every time.

A handle might cost 30-60. 120 for a lifetime handle.

I have had to teach myself, my father and my father-in-law how to shave. They literally had no clue that another way even existed, perhaps beside an electric razor. Blows my mind.

It has the smell of citronella and also has a ton of menthol so you tear up when you shave. Love it.

Any favorites?

So we got in the garage today and put together some fence to keep the rabbits out of the garden, and we also started on the firestarters for next winter. I have some old candles that will go in an old crock pot and then we will dip some cardboard, sawdust, cedar, and dryer lint. When it dries, we will have some nice firestarters. But of course, the candles will melt faster if we smashed them first which is what we did. We used "big" hammers (ball-peen) and it was great fun. The boy loved it. We will get out the crockpot at a later date. There was one haunnakka candle from the thrift shop and it had an empty center. I laughed out loud.

One day, I will hear "look what I found!!!" For the last time.

I had a second hand tool box sitting around- old red metal style and we filled it up with some pliers, screwdrivers, a small rubber hammer, a few wall anchors, and other knick knacks. He was real happy.

2 days ago we assembled a hand turned shaving brush I bought for him off etsy - we mixed up the epoxy and installed a boar knot. Naturally, he won't be using the brush for a few years(he is only 3) but I try to pick up some life tools that he can have when he gets older. Already has most of a shaving kit, and some decent name brand tools, most of which are better than the second hand stuff I use. As he gets older I will get him a few skillets, and a solid firearm - I'd say like a 1911 or Beretta 92 but it will probably be a more modernized version of something like that.

I am doing the same thing for may daughter with gifting and I will get her a KitchenAid mixer and pans and such. My parents got me plastic junk that broke. My kids have plenty of that crap around so I try to buy gifts that will last a lifetime or close to it.

If you are reading this, go be a good dad this weekend.

When I was very young, I was told that the Lord would test me only as much as I could stand and that I would be responsible for passing those tests of faith. I haven't heard anything like that in years and largely, I think that concept has been forgotten by our culture. God is only present in the good and peaceful times but absent from our struggles - it is exactly the opposite.

We picked up a teal air-fryer, a DeWalt drill, a hair dryer and some Christmas lights shaped like cowboy hats. All less than 30 bucks.
I remember destroying that type of thing as a kid and getting in a lot of trouble for it. Rather than pulling that card, I got a bunch of crap he play with, then we can take apart together and see the guts, then hit it with a hammer and then use the left over wires to make some electrical circuits.
Not bad for a 3 year old.
