Its been about a week and a half and Ohio has seen some drastic reductions in the our modeling and local hospital systems are asking volunteers to head to New York, Jersey and Michigan. We aren't out of the woods yet, but from what I've read online other locations are releasing staff and...

Congratulations to you and your wife!!!

Just wanted to pop back in and give an update on how things are going and vent a little. As of writing this we have 4 members of the Fire Department test positive, three from the same shift and house. Those with no symptoms were placed into quarantine until at least April 6th. The fourth person...

With everyone being home I thought I would try and restart this thread to get/give some suggestions of books to read. I recently finished "Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging" by Sebastian Junger. Junger also wrote the book "The Perfect Storm", which was later adapted into a feature film with...

Just wanted to pop in a give a quick update. From talking to a couple of ER Nurses I know, the ER is currently a ghost town. The hospitals made a push last week to clear out critical care beds and discharge patients that would have sat for a day or two under different circumstances. At the same...

Frontline Fire and EMS provider/supervisior here. Dealt WITH H1N1 in 2009 and Ebola when it "hit" Ohio in 2014, so here are some random observations/thoughts... PPE - Everybody is making a big deal about not having enough, which is true. The why of it is a bit more difficult, but basically it...

Time to start selling plasma...

Not sure how serious you guys are about splitting a barrel, but I could move a dozen no problem

Yes wading through the dependency issues really complicates the issue. Getting his head straight, and keeping his job, is going to require getting sober. Getting sober, in all likelihood, is going to mess with his head since the alcohol was for self-medication. Its really a vicious cycle. I'm...

So assuming he his still working he should have access to some sort of employee assistance program, which I assume he wants to avoid. What every Union/Patrolman's Organization he belongs to should have contact info for someone who will be familiar with these sort of situations. The State LEO...

Nah, no Jack Stack around here. Seems like forever ago, but time to meet up again.

Thank you Gentlemen. Busy day full of work meetings and running the kids to sports. If the rain breaks I'm going to fire up some porterhouses with risotto and asparagus.

Are we looking at dates??

I would sign up for O-lights email list. I picked up a couple of their PL 2 Valkyries a few months ago for under $60 dollars. Well made and around 1200 lumens. Have put a couple hundred rounds down range with both my AR and 9mm with no issues. No experience with it on a shotgun.

Lots of good options mentioned already and honestly you would be hard pressed to go wrong with any off them. Probably be better of to set some parameters for what you are looking for. How much do you want to spend, what are you looking to hunt, range, what level and price of optic, price and...

I bounce around, but I love SGammo.com. Quick shipping, large spectrum of rounds and bullet weights, along with realtime inventory put them ahead of many other places. Sign up for the newsletter.

Hue?

Received a time delayed bomb, that wrecked my HVAC and my kids tub drain.... Finally made it out of the rubble to post a thank you. Truthfully last week was terrible for me. Wasn't paying attention to my work schedule and end up working a ton. Didn't see the package until Sunday evening, but...

Spent yesterday hiking with the kiddos...reminds me that I work to much and they grow up fast

Couple episodes left. I think visual and style wise the show is really well done. I will probably see if I can get the series from the library. Happy to see that second season of "the Expanse" is now streaming on Prime
