I'm sitting here, 350 miles south of the Arctic Circle, laughing my ass off because, it rained on Tuesday.

I thought it was because you are in the happiest country in the world

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

I don't know about happiest myself, but the Finnish sure make sweet rifles, their machining is top notch and accurate as hell.


This last storm put a dangerous 65 foot maple leaning on my shed with no way to cut it down to the ground safely. I emptied the shed mostly and will wait for a professional.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Tikka or Sako? Same ownership now (Beretta). Tikka only makes bolt action rifles now, no semi-autos.

Tikka and yes Beretta imports them to the US.
I believe the Tikka are made by Sako but cost a third or more less. Sako are high quality, I can't afford them, maybe next time around.

Tikka and Sako merged, maybe 30-40 years ago.

no, it would be easier to yank the shed out from under it but grass is wet and right where my leaching field is, besides I have a 2500 with 80 psi tires that have no grip. I thought about putting a cable winch from one tree to the other to keep it from getting worse.
