So, #1 Lesson learned: Go strapped. Always
#2 Always sit your back to the wall
#3 Sit at a table, not a slide in booth. Gotta be able to escape the fatal zone.
#4 I have done the switcheroo with my Wifey to have a view of the entrance, and register.
#5 Arm Wifey and...
This is fact! I call the Borman ...Kamikazee 94, and I65 is the NWI Killing 500.
Rain, sleet, snow, winds, its 75+ either road.
ISP? LOL. Only doing Security during construction and blinding lights at night along with Highwaymen.
Wish we had those cameras taking pics at least 15 mph over limit...
Years back, I did a walking tour or Wright Patterson AFB Museum. Was really an eye opener as to the sheer sizes of real aircraft, tires, wingspan, engine cowling size, how tall the rear tails stood.
Seen some others at Grissom, and also a few of the older WW2 Warbirds flying in and out of...
So true. Post Eclipse, no big deal in NWI. Except the goofs parking on I65 trying to view, then lanes down to 2 from 4. ok.
I went off to go to work on mids, traffic here was bumper, 70 mph, about one car length of gap between cars.
Guess what? 90% were Illinois plates, pushing lanes, cutting...
When i first bought my house, decided to clean my shotgun on Thanksgiving. Wifey came i and said, Oh no, not today and scooped up the cleaners, rags and old towels and put them in my car trunk.
I said Yes Dear!
Ordered a built shed from Menards on Black Friday, got delivered in couple days, ran...
Should be interesting. Will keep my gear handy to repel boarders, but mainly going to have cold beverages, and Orville popcorn for the Eclipse. If tv reception falters, or cell phones quit, gues I will sleep thru it.
Hmmm, Y2K was a flop. Spent all night waiting for excitement, not. Gov is declaring an emergency prior to emergency occuring....LOL. Places gouging for gas and food, and water, that is an emergency!
Is National Guard going to force those prices down? C'Mpn Hoosiers, stay frosty and keep spare...
In the parking lot of a hunting area of state owned game preserve. Cased and not loaded 12 ga Winchester SG, took to check in office. DNR guys put it behind the counter.
Next morning, was deer hunting, and asked the DNR guy if someone claimed it!
Yes, about 10 minutes after I turned it in...
Nice score Sailor! I had same model for years, and a 5906 too. Sadly, let both go, and never got over the pain. They are extremely well made, and shoot well to aim. Good luck on yours!
Right on! People think that the event is more important than their personal safety. Gotta add that shopping in the mall is out, exception being food supplies from grocery store.
You can wager a solid bet that people are toting hardware and spare mags at most stores.
Not saying social isn't...
Right on Diver! Don't give up as it is a hobby unlike coins or stamps. Im still rolling at 68, not ready to count them and sell them. I have 2 safes, plenty of storage to go!
Had a dicey meet up with a guy and didnt disclose his age prior. Illinois car plates, no drivers license to show his residence, but also wanted me to sell to his Mom who clearly was over 21.
I declined, had my wife with me, and she has her LTCH, and I did too.(Wife was backup)
No thanks to the...
