Fire pellets. They're little balls of fire they drop for starting fires, usually in rough terrain.I will bite. What are fie pellets?
I call my Ruger Single Six my varmint pistol. Shot quite a few varmints with it.No, I don't hunt. After the war I tried turkey hunting with a friend, and even had one in my sights, but could not bring myself to pull the trigger. Something about ambushing an animal that is minding its own business and doesn't even know I'm there.
However, I have used that very .410 to dispatch more than one rooster, and a raccoon I trapped after killing several hens, and some rather large corn snakes that were terrorizing our hens and eating their eggs.
I have also had to shoot a feral pitbull that was attacking me. Luckily I had a 20 ga pump in my hands and not the .410.
So, you see, my views on killing things is limited to self defense. I have nothing against hunting, it's just not for me.
In fact, I have two deer out in one of the freezers that were given me by a friend.
A .410 is a great farm gun, handy. In .410's I have a Stoeger Uplander double barrel, a Mossberg bolt action, a Rossi single shot and the NEF in the picture.
Used shotguns are cheap to buy and feed. I've got more than a dozen pumps, doubles, singles, and bolts. in 12. 16. 20 gauges and .410 bore.
And I love the OTHER great farm gun - 22LR and 22WMR. I have "a few" rifles and pistols in those calibers.
What type of ammo do you use?I call my Ruger Single Six my varmint pistol. Shot quite a few varmints with it.
What do pot dispensaries do with trim that they don't sell? They throw it away!
This was a bunch of the trimmings that someone got out of a dumpster and dumped on a sidewalk.

22 mag hollow point CCIWhat type of ammo do you use?
The story said that they try to add all kinds of things to stop people from taking it. There are several responses.The story made me laugh. Reminds me... decades ago in tuscaloosa, drug cops seized 50lbs of pot, in the news. Weeks later they even announced they were going to burn it at the landfill. People showed up to watch, mostly pot heads...
The cops soaked some diesel fuel on part of it, threw on a torch, took pictures then left. All the pot heads ran down, put out the flames and salvaged most of it... Funny at parties i'd sometimes smell pot smoke with a faint hint of diesel.
What's that pot going to smell like? Old takeout chinese from a dumpster?
The first is a stock photo from the net... for comparison. That's really short cotton too, it's usually about 4ft tall here. The second pic is the cotton field in the middle of my home town after picking...I've never seen one close up. Do they really work well to recover cotton cleanly?
Here are some close-ups of the spindles, they spin at a high rate, grab the cotton and pull it from the stalk. I remember my grandfather working on a problem with the picker. Somehow it caught his hand. It drove a spindle clean through it. Took several farmers to figure out how to free him.I've never seen one close up. Do they really work well to recover cotton cleanly?
They hear many things that we do not, like both ultrasonic and subsonic frequencies.Fippy had a busy night barking, growling, snapping at anything that moved (or things he imagined) so he was tuckered out.

In fairness, the other dog was losing her damn mind last night over who knows what and running around barking & aggravated him.

Long before we hear thunder, DW's cat disappears under her bed.
20 minutes later, we will just barely begin to hear it.
Here we go:This is a photo of 'Granny'... which is a lot different than photo's in the 30's. She looked rough after 10yrs in hollywood/showbiz. There's not much public info on her history other than she was born in 1902 in El Paso tx.

Love that floppy eared photo bomberI knew my cousin couldn’t get his big tractor down to the bottoms to bush hog. Figured it had grown up… Nope! Looked good in fact. These heifers spend the heat of the day down here in the shade. They’ve kept it eaten down.
I have 5 springs down here that feed 2 streams. They combine near the corner. We haven’t had rain in a month. The water is low and flowing slowly. Still plenty for the livestock to drink and for the pup to play in…
My cousin bought a truck load of old drill pipe. He uses it for fence posts and to span creeks. On the other side of the pipe is my neighbors farm. He has cattle also.
