Lifting Weights
Ramsey
6 minutes ago
In 2019 I went to field dress a buck and realized how out of shape I was at age 51. I started going to the gym to simply get used to lifting weights and find muscles that had atrophy. This has become a serious part of life as I stay active as possible. At this age what works for me is spreading the work across 4 days, legs, back, shoulders & chest, arms. Sometimes if my body tells me I take a day off. I do not lift max weights, everything is 10-15 reps, and only once in five years have I lifted heavy on bench. I feel better than I ever have and am way stronger than at any point in my life. My 40s were not goid years physically as I did not take care of myself. Going to the gum has changed the quality of my life tenfold. None of us are getting younger.

Re: Factor meals and the like.

Cooking for 2 is so EZ, been just the wife and I since 2016 when youngest moved out. On Saturday or Sunday grill up something like ribs, pork shoulder, big stew etc. Add a salad or vegetable and eat on it for 2-3 days. Find something else and do it again. You'd be surprised at how little it takes food wise to survive on. Might even drop a few pounds by accident if needed.
Good luck,

Re: “Free” Healthcare
BradyBuck

We already have free healthcare. Just go to a county hospital and tell them your name if Juan Hernandez. You will get treated and everyone else will pay for it with their property taxes. You don’t even have to tell them a name. You can call 911 and get emergency services, or walk into almost any hospital and receive care. I explained this to the people we were working with and they thought anyone who couldn’t pay out of pocket or afford insurance went completely without healthcare… They also said that while their system worked well with regard to emergency needs and emergency surgeries, anything that was chronic you would have a hard time getting care for. You could still use private healthcare for those issues though.

I drew early archery elk for a highly sought after unit as a non resident. Approximately 1% odds based on last year's results. Time to get a big one. Congrats, some times your the fly some times your the windshield. Havent drawn elk tag in that state in 12 years. Thats the beauty of NM. Just when you think you dont have a chance you draw a tag that odds are so extreme its just doesnt make sense, but your names on the tag and thats all that matters

1000# vs 2000# feeders
muleymaddness
33 minutes ago
I was looking at purchasing new feeders and looking at 1000# vs 2000# capacity feeders. I initially thought the 2000# would be better so I wouldn't have to be out there as often. But after thinking about it, it seems like the stand and fill might be a better option just from an ease of filling it perspective. Standing on the ground filling vs on a ladder seems much more convenient. Thoughts?
For the protein feeder, I figured 2000# low profile and just stand on the trailer to fill it.

We already have free healthcare. Just go to a county hospital and tell them your name if Juan Hernandez. You will get treated and everyone else will pay for it with their property taxes. Yep and it has been this way for a very long time. It is one of the lies told by Obama, there has always been healthcare for the indigent. It is against the law for a hospital to deny "emergency" health care based on a person's ability to pay. . I watched it play out night after night at JPS. And Parkland, Dallas County. That hospital had a year that there were close to 16,000 babies delivered in one year. It is very common for a person that doesn't speak English to sneak into this country a few weeks before delivery and walk into the ER at the onset of labor. Also common for this to be their first time with a DR. during the pregnancy. If all goes well they're out of there in a few days. If it's a complicated delivery, you tell me how much the bill could be for a mother that needs surgery, and an infant with a serious complication? Free health care has been around long before F Joe Biden said to Barry, "This is a big F-n' deal" on a hot mike. What the Socialists want is for us all to have the same level of care as those that want if free. I have insurance and pay my own way and get great care when I need it. I paid cash for a $400.00 inhaler when I had pneumonia, worth every penny, if you like to breath.

Re: Student debt forgiveness
Concho

(quote) 2007: CONGRESS CREATES PSLF In the last year of President George W. Bush’s presidency, Congress passed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act with bipartisan support. It promised to ease the burden of repayment of student loan debt—a burgeoning problem caused by skyrocketing college tuition—through a number of modifications to existing programs and by creating new ones. The Bush administration touted the bill’s expansion of Pell Grants, increasing the amount of money low-income families could receive toward tuition. Further, it reduced the interest rate on future federal Stafford Loans, cutting them in half over the following few years. Perhaps the largest lasting impacts, however, came for borrowers already in repayment. The Act created two programs that were designed to ease the ongoing cost to borrowers and to help them eliminate their loans if they were working in public service. Although the White House did little to advertise these programs, Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) have remained integral parts of the federal student loan system and are regular news items in the ongoing student debt crisis.(/quote) https://navigatestudentloans.com/a-brief-history-of-public-service-loan-forgiveness/ If the laws passed by Congress would have forgiven these current borrowers, they would already have been forgiven and their debt gone. I believe someone here has already posted the average income of these borrowers and it is way above my pay grade, so this isn't about poor kids going to college. This is about the Biden Administration attempting to alter the program to cover more people without the approval of Congress.

Re: ATF wait times!

Are they going as fast for SBRs? Are you talking buying an SBR on a Form 4 or making one on a Form 1? Form 1 making was traditionally faster (around a month), but buying on a Form 4 should be no different than a suppressor. So if you buy as an individual it should be quick. I am on month 7 or 8 for an SBR Form 1. So I dont think a month is happening every time. Maybe last year but something has slowed down this year. Silencer shop told me 7 months aprox for form1. I am getting very impatient but still holding out hope that today is the day, Last one I did a few months ago took 29 days. That’s with digital photo and finger prints no paper.

She’s prolly not too crazy. I’ve always said all that happened was she ate a gummy before that plane ride and it got the best of her. She should’ve ate half and not the whole gummy. She’s fine, I doubt she’s really crazy. Lol
