One other point I forgot, unless you have strong friends buy from someplace that delivers and puts it in place. My downstairs safe was put right where I wanted for an extra $300 and well worth it. I had an easy delivery is why it was that cheap.

I vote for the second safe also. My original Tractor Supply safe is now my upstairs safe tucked in the back of a walk in closet and I added a Liberty downstairs. Storing some guns for my son right now so close to capacity again but making it work. Biggest problem with two is deciding which guns go in which safe. If money was no object I would go with the walk in options. I know two people with that luxury. They don't just have a walk in safe it is a nice room with furniture. Rich relative was the best, vault door was hidden behind a fake wall that hinges out so you don't even know it's there.

A fellow that I know slightly has a bunch of kids I mean a bunch. Was at a gun auction 7-8 years ago and they but a Cricket up. Wining bidder could take 1 or up to 5. Everyone was holding back figuring they pick one up without running up the price. He took them all.

Probably more likely failing memory, I have that problem all the time

We got about 6" in NE TN and a 5+ hour power outage. Should finish melting tomorrow in time for the next one. As if we needed a reminder my wife had a memory popup on FaceBook yesterday with her reporting in 2010 that we were in the middle of a snow storm and had about 40" so far at are old place in Western NY. One of several reason we moved to TN, you can probably guess most of the rest. Many Winters we did not see bare ground from November till March or so. I like my Winter weather in shorter bursts now.

You're right, I should have looked more, here is a Billy the Kid photo.

Seems like I have seen this photo marked as Billy the Kid but I had no ID with the photo.

Happy New Years

The one I remember looked like a bomb from a WW-2 bomber that you dropped on the sidewalk. Seems like mine is still around somewhere. Wonder where you can buy caps.

Anyone get an F500 Fury?

Hope you all get the toys you asked Santa for in the morning.

My problem with chewed wires and such was from a pair of rats that showed up last year. They chewed the wires off a battery charger on a tractor I have parked in my carport twice. I put my trail cam down in the carport to see what was doing it before I attacked. Saw the normal skunks and such wander through, then the rats. So I started with a large sticky trap and got one and then the second in a rat trap, both tucked in a little tunnel I made with 6X6 blocks of wood so I didn't catch a skunk. I was also having trouble with my truck and I found a vacuum line chewed off and a couple of wires. Our old place we had bird feeders hanging off the side of the house by a window. Squirrels would crawl up the side of the house and jump out on the feeders. It became my obsession to keep squirrels off the house. started with a 20g and moved up to a 12g. They are trained fast and I would get a few on the ground running away but most were shot out of the top of the trees. I started keeping score on a marker board and the year we moved I was up to 13 in 6 months. Was warned that we were moving into bear country and they liked raiding bird feeders so we don't feed birds anymore. Up to this last year we didn't see many squirrels around the house but they are starting to show up now so I'm keeping an eye on them. As far as future mice and rats I have started putting rat poisoned cubes out that have ground-up peanuts in the cubes. I put them in pieces of PVC pipe so bigger animals will not get into them. I have some pipes from about 1.5" up to 4" in diameter, all scarps. I just put them out so I don't know if they will be effective. I also put them in my shed.
