@siggy she hasnt started dating yet. I’m ready for that

Nice collection, If you were closer we'd have to get up and go plinking. There's a range a mile from my house. I can hear the sounds of freedom ringing all the time. Especially when they bring the automatics and .50 BMGs out for range days.

We have a few nice ranges near us. 2 indoor, 1 outdoor. The outdoor range even has a skeet shooting area.

You going to start curing live rock soon, get the purple stuff going

EDIT: You guys hear about the 500 bushmaster,

The outdoor range up the road is fairly new, and growing. The indoor range i go to is on the other side of Columbia at Palmetto State Armory...

When I lived in the country, my range was the backyard. It was nothing to hear gunfire out there from distant neighbors. Now, I have a massive one acre yard and a hundreds of houses in every dirrection. Suburbs... lol.

Probably, sump first, and plumbing. That way I can hold water. Then I'm tossing up re-using my Jebao DCT 9000(I think its the 9000, maybe 6000 but that seems small) or buying a new non Chinese return pump. Start with existing equipment and upgrade down the road, or wait and buy all new....

I haven't got into it, but I have a Marlin 1895 SBL .45-70 for hogs. Never been much of a hunter tho. Dad never cared for it and only took me fishing. I bought the gun because I thought it was cool. Then Chris Pratt went and used the same gun in Jurassic World, but they mounted a Leupold scout scope with a 9" eye relief(the exact scope I was going to mount) right over the receiver ... Hollywood ;Facepalm

Ranges? I go to my dads friends rock quarry and unload there. About 3-4 hundred yards we can get. Than let the lead fly.

Wish I could get my hands on my old M-60 or m-249 those were fun to shoot. 550 rpm and 950 rpm respectively. Those were a blast to shoot.

Thank you for your service!

Thanks Robin. It was fun.

When do you get your new tank. And are you going to start a new build thread or just expand deep blue

I actually JUST got a phone call from SCA. Aquarium shipped out yesterday and the carrier should be contacting me soon to set up delivery.

We will most definitely be starting up a new build thread... I'll make sure all of you are invited over to the party.

I almost went Navy, that was way back in 04 or 05... then they saw medical records of asthma when I was young and they were being picky at the time. Grew out of asthma before high school, really... was gonna do gas turbine operator/mechanic. Powerplant bound after my service. Oh well I made it in a powerplant anyway, its just coal and not gas.
