    Who’s poking all the other holes in the mannequin? We not seeing pictures of them shots lol! Off topic but…..I got a kind of a hermit buddy that lives way out. Every morning he goes onto his back porch, while coffee is making, and shoots once at a piece of steel, at 760yd distance with a .300 mag. Just leaves the rifle outside leaned against his table. Sometimes hits, sometimes not, says that’s an indicator of how his day will go. Kinda odd.

    Dad had something similar happen to him in his 2022 Cascadia. A car slung a piece of retread and he couldn't move over in time. When he ran over it he instantly heard air leaking.

    In a little over a mile looking for a wide spot it was down and about to set the trailer brakes. In his haste to crawl under he left it in drive. The truck cut off from the idle shutdown and wouldn't crank since it was in gear.

    The wrecker came and supplied air through the dryer so the solenoid could kick back into neutral, dad had reconnected the transmission supply that had been knocked loose and away he went.

    Fortunately The OM was on top of things, and saw these guys were a tad green.

    Their supervisor was somewhat competent.

    But The OM watched them as a hawk, which was justified, or they'd blown it.

    Holiday staff I suppose.

    The OM is satisfied. Although their was a lot of OM supervision given.

    The old filters looked excellent.

    Epic thundertain of five thousand mofo's has arrived.

    Had to settle for a truck salad.

    But we're still going to attempt truck pico.

    Made with real lime juice, unlike the juice from the plastic lime that okiedokie uses.
