    We have been successfully dieting for about 5 or 6 weeks now.

    Still eating too much fried chicken. But Rome wasn't built in a day or 6 weeks.

    oh, well my bad.
    Still, if I was on a diet, I'd find it mighty hard to pass on.
    (And, no, I haven't been skipping pages, I just forgot.).

    Old days, poor folks, no facilities...
    We would go out in the country to a gravel pit, some cut bank or a dry creek bed of ours. Unfold a sheet of a newspaper and peg it to one side of the bank with sticks. Back off as far as could depending on where you were and shoot up a box of 22's. Rifles mostly, also some .38 Specials /old Army 1911 Autos.
    Ammo for them was more costly.
    Do some circles with a grease pencil on the newspaper for target. First production target I ever shot at was at Ft Chaffee AR for the Army (1958)
    Got more center bulls at 500 prone than 200 offhand. Wanted to make me a SNIPER...
    Up until 2 years or so ago, I could still take a pistol out of my coat pocket and just offhand pop that size newspaper somewhere first, then compensate the other 5 or 7. My idea is I could stop you from coming thru a door into my house on me without a lot of pre planning.
    I always shot quail and dove with shotgun by pointing. Bird up, see him fly, throw up shotgun and fire at the place he is going to be. BLAM...
    This is not brag, just the way we learned, practiced and shot. Probably some of you may be the same way.

    That is nice. You planning on selling your present one or putting it on the Peterbilt? Would be a good short range rig with a stable driver
    and selected loads/delivery constraints. Load, chug it on over, get unloaded. Make several a week but close to home/shop.

    Cause the truck lobby controls the governments efforts. Just lets them run wild, all sorts of speeds and endangering the poor 4 wheelers.
    No vehicle safety inspections, junky old arn, and ludicrous penalties when they do enforce.. ;);)

    I think you need to go home and re-group. You seem to be a bit 'edgy'.
