I think I am with you on the :roll: . I first got a good chuckle out of that but the more I think of it the more shocked I am that someone actualy did that. I think that idea is best discussed while out drinking with your buddies, but never actualy carried out!

I have a fireplace where I live now, but we have not used it yet, we do plan to this year.

My wife and I are building a strawbale home on some land we purchased. We plan to build in 2-3 years. I plan to use passive solar and wood to heat that.

I work as a Computer Network Engineer. That basicaly means my hobby is the same as my job. I have a buddy that's into RC cars. I always wanted to get into it but it's way too expensive for me. I could have a Barret .50 for the $$ he has in one of his trucks. My wife and I like to make pepper jellies...

I have only been hunting with dogs once - for racoon - I must admit it was amazing watching the dogs work. My fathers friend who took us out used radio collars so he could track down a dog when one got lost. Some people find hunting with dogs offensive, some people find crossbows offensive, some peo...

Thanks for the welcome!!

I haven't gotton a chance to shoot it / sight it in yet. We have a lot of ice right now on my land, and I couldn't get my jeep up my road when I tried yesterday. Maybe next weekend.

I use Linux on my pc and the Firefox web browser, the whole excalibur site works a little wonky in that.

I had to borrow my wife's windo$e laptop to view the videos and the last two did not work.

Yeah, I wouldn't have saved that much $$ - everyone seems to be pretty close. But I like saving every last dollar I can!

I did not realize you had violence in Canada. I always thought you guys were peacefull, and we were the violent bad neighbors to the south.

Sorry to hear you guys may lose handguns!

lol - I used to know a girl who worked for PETA. She got fired for violating the dress code at work when she wore leather sandals into the office. She worked in Norfolk Virginia where PETA's headquarters is. Interesting aside about PETA in Norfolk VA - A local radio station there held a fishing cont...

Few setup questions

It was an old tv/vcr combo we have in the spam - everything else in the house has gone dvd. Was any info on the tape that I wi...

As I am sure you all probably know Virginia just opened the woods up to crossbows this year for everyone. Before they were allowed for people with disabilities only. We now can use crossbows during ...
