Installing a water catchment comes with a hefty responsibility, here's why. If you dig around long enough on the web, you will find a study done about 20 years ago by AZGFD biologists concerning drinkers in the Eagletail Mountains near Tonopah. The AZGFD had been slow to get out and check on this catchment. I can't recall the circumstances why it had gone dry but what the dept found upon arrival was startling. Dying wildlife was found adjacent to the area. Skeletons of bighorns and muledeer lay in and around the drinker where animals had died of thirst. A check of other catchments in the immediate area showed they still held water. The decision was made to only partially refill the drinker in order to observe the wildlife's behavior. Just as predicted, once the drinker produced and later went dry again the wildlife would wait at that drinker to get water rather than make the short trek to other drinkers within a couple miles. So if you decide to start putting water out for wildlife and some animals become dependent on it, how committed are you to keep water in it? Again, find the study I'm referring to. As I recall it was in a PDF format. Oh and you'll notice drinkers placed where cattle can get to it have fencing around it to keep them out. A single cow can dry up a small barrel in a single visit and cattle leases are everywhere.

Great timing, I was just reading about this caliber a couple days ago.

Occasionally. What needs done?

My great grandfather James N Castle 1853-1927 worked the mines in Mexico and Douglas and is buried in that city's cemetery.

Not bad. That's twice as fast as my Diesel Mule went

Hey, wassup, Hawk? I'm curious what you think the top speed of this unit is? Speedo goes up to 120mph but that's silly. It's like the opposite of the Hi performance street bike i had manufactured during the Carter admin. Bike would do 130moh but speedo only went to 80 in order to save gas lol. Free bump

Here's a good article that breaks the bill down. Lee couldn't get a single cosponsor for it because it's simply as crazy of a piece of legislation as she is. https://bigjolly.com/sheila-jackson-lee-goes-berserk-on-gun-control/

This I had one up for weeks over salt.

Funny I was just thinking the same.

Prohibited to own ammo .50 or larger in caliber. Wouldn't that include any shotgun shell 28ga and up? Even lefties won't go for this. Reading the bill would be comical were it not so nakedly steeped in firearms ignorance. Sorry guys, no more unregistered guns with flash silencers or grenade launching capabilities. TX has to be proud of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. I've worked in her district near Houston and I'm sure many of her constituents can't even read that garbage and those whom can wouldn't waste their time.

I'll register my asalt gun right after I register for Obamacare.

I may drop by next week

That's where I wanted to spend my last week hunting but life got in the way. Hope you find the bastards.

Is this it behind the import car place?

Finding Memo

How about some contact info? Surely you have his FB or Twitter handle? But seriously, I have a livestock trailer needing painted and the OP lives close to that intersection. Info more useful than teets on a boar would be greatly appreciated.

It's a day I'll never forget. Was at Luke working a busy day shift, briefing pilots on their flight plans, observing the weather conditions. Our station chief, a Senior Master SGT, lightened the morning up by wheeling a TV into the hall where we and the fighter pilots could watch the Challenger lift off. Luke AFB was one of the emergency landing runways were the orbit to be scrubbed. Didn't bother me a bit to send in additional landing data to NASA on those launches, it was an honor. We all know what happened, seemingly flawless lift off, then disaster. Within seconds, the Chief yanked the TVs cord out of the wall and teared up as he and our unit commander went in to their offices and closed their doors. They rarely ever closed their door's. There wasn't a dry eye in the flight planning room. Everyone was quiet, everyone wanted left alone. But our work went on and there'd be more successful launches and tragedies. But I'll never forget that day. Anyone else remember where they were that day?

My two oldest kids graduated from UC Davis.

Look at the original post, many folks wanted this. PM them. Bump

I recommend not eating the goat's butt. If I can survive eating raw goat skin in SE Asia (a tale for around campfires), you can eat a New Mex mutton import.

She's active on FB. And yeah DelW, you ain't got FB or Twitter. Lol

And Red Sparky, he owes me a Blake's Green Chili Lotta burger.

Five year old thread on this sad anniversary. Makes me wonder where some of these members have gone. Hope they are well.

Not if they're illegals
