Not counting my family members, I personally know of 5 people who have had it. I don't know of anyone who has been hospitalized because of it or died. I find it odd how different people react to the virus. Some people are scared to death of it and will not even leave their house and then there are others who never even give it a 2nd thought. I will admit, since I have already had it, I walk around with a sense of immunity towards it now. It was a miserable 3 weeks but I am kind of glad I had it and now I am done with it. No proven case where someone has had it, recovered, and then gotten it again. Now if I could only shake these dang migraines. "I don’t think many people think the illness is a hoax, the hype around it is the hoax." This is probably the most profound thing trphyhntr has ever said.

I agree, stick with name brands. Be patient and you can find deals. Not sure I got as good a deal as Curtis Reed but I got a 2018 Polaris General 4 1000 with 350 miles on it and lots of extras for about 60% of the price of what the guy paid for it.

I agree, it affects everyone differently. 4 out 5 of us at our house got covid -19 this past March & April. My wife works in NYC and I'm sure she brought it home to us. My two twenty something year old kids tested positive but had zero symptoms. My wife symptoms were like a severe flu, difficulty breathing, body aches, high fever & cough for about 3 weeks. My symptoms were terrible body aches like I was in a bad car accident and the worst migraine headaches ever. The headaches lasted up to 2.5 days. Took me 3 weeks to feel better and the last 8 days were heck. Could not sleep because my body hurt so badly. My youngest son and I still have lingering issues. He gets headaches nearly daily. I don't have daily headaches but I get severe migraines 1-3 times per month now. I never realized had bad they were until I experienced them. Until I got covid, I don't think I ever had a migraine in my life. Lastly, my head is still not 100% just a little foggy kind of like the last part of hangover. It is real and it sucks. I still think most people will get it and will survive it but everyone's experiences will be different.

Everything in AZ will continue to get worse. We keep trying to fit more and more people on the same little bodies of water. AZ needs to come up with a plan to either make lakes larger by raising dams or making new lakes along the CAP. This is pretty tough to do when we the SW has been in a 20 year drought. AZ has averaged 1 million new residents every decade for last 40 years and we are supposed to grow by at least another million by 2030. By the way, I think the forest service needs to build or expand new camp grounds around the state too.

I have a love a love/hate relationship with wind during hunting season. By far and away it is much easier to put a stalk on an animal. One year while hunting elk on the WMAT Res, the wind was blowing about 35 miles per hour and I pretty much just walked right up to a herd of elk. When all the leaves and branches are swinging back and forth they can't pick up human movement from all the other stuff. I hate that it is harder to find animals and you can't hear any bugles. The advantage goes to the hunter in the wind.

Where I was at here in Central AZ last Friday to Monday the bulls were going crazy every morning from about 5:00 am to 8:00.

All I have to say is that you must wake up with a smile on your face everyday now that you live in the great state of Arizona and not Californicator. And to add salt in the wound of the land of fruits and nuts, they are paying for your stay here. I love taking money from the Socialist Peoples Republic of California. thanks for your service

a little cold front next week might make a difference.

Trailer is sold

Ordered a new tandem 14ft trailer that arrived 4 weeks early and I need to sale this ASAP. This is a very strong 12 ft Carmate Trailer made in Pennsylvania. I bought it used about 13 years ago and it has been a great trailer but it is a hair too short for Polaris General. Brand new tires and spare.

Inside Bed measurements are 12 feet long by 75 inches wide. I'm offering here first but will go up on Craigslist very quickly. Trailers are hot items right now. Have antelope hunt that starts this Friday so I may not answer messages right away.

congratulations! That must be a great phone call to receive. What hunt and unit?

Most forums end up getting dominated by a few **cks and then people begin leaving. Look what happened to monstermuleys.com. I don't think it has very much to do with fragile egos. Most people just don't like to be around jerks. So they leave.

I agree and I find myself checking in less and less. I come here to get away from all the crap going on around us and "hang out" with like minded folks. Seems everybody has opinions about everything and wants to share them with everybody. Doesn't matter what forum either.

I hope to be posting a picture in the very near future of one laying down and me right next to it.

still for sale

No I am not the original owner but it has been used very little. I bought it off an older gentlemen who wanted it for the same reason I did. We both wanted a low poundage bow. Us old guys with bad shoulders have given up on pulling all those pounds. Bow is in excellent condition. shoots great.

I put this back up to the top just in case you didn't see this great deal.

Sorry for shaky pictures. I always get nervous when someone pulls out a camera.

Same old excuse. Some people don't see the value in education and how it is an investment rather than a bill to pay. I certainly hope your pay is not at the bottom compared to people in same profession in all 50 states. If it is, how do you feel about that? The teachers union in AZ has no power at all. Back east in more traditional union states maybe, but not AZ. I only know a hand full of teachers who are members and it is mostly because they want the million dollar legal defense fund insurance in case someone tries to sue them. We are a right to work state so you might want to find another reason why you don't want to pay up. More money in teachers pockets will not make kids any smarter I agree but it will attract better quality teachers. If you don't understand that then there is no need to discuss anymore.

I agree, ACT is a better measurement when comparing student performance both in state and with out of state students. Everyone takes the same exam. Test is very well regulated and has many checks & balances in place. Next to impossible fabricate scores or cheat. Public schools have to take ALL students and can't pick and choose like private schools and charter schools. The Basis schools is a prime example of plucking all the best & brightest from public schools. Just try to get your child with an IEP or 504 into those schools. It ain't happen'n folks.

I disagree. Arizona is last in funding per pupil, yet we are ranked 34 nationally for ACT test scores. Seems like some good value there. Arizona is full of a lot of old people and others who don't want to pay because their kids are grown and gone now or they are just cheap bastards. Same people complain about how bad education is but don't want to pay up. We are last in spending folks, how much lower do you want to go? I suppose if we pay even less we will get better results? Great logic. I could understand complaining if we were at the top for spending but test results are at the bottom. But we are last in spending and closer to the middle in test scores. https://blog.prepscholar.com/average-sat-and-act-scores-by-stated-adjusted-for-participation-rate "Arizona ranked last in spending per pupil for instruction at $4,308 compared to $7,406 nationally.Jun 14, 2019
