I'm enjoying it. It's too much material and too important a subject for 9 episodes, though. Maybe because it's an Apple production and not HBO? Another good Apple TV show is For All Mankind. Good alternative history about the space race.

I'm a former fed employee that dealt a bit with seized/auctioning of stuff, but not aircraft. If it's former government owned and used and being sold (especially motor vehicles), it's been rode hard and put away wet. If it's been seized, there is a good chance it's been sitting for years waiting...

It's just far enough away to not be able to compete with the Baraboo/Dells airport for any GA flights that vacation in Wisconsin Dells. And you really need a reason to go to Portage.

I think the worst of it is just hitting now.

Today is stupid hot. Spent a few hours at the seaplane base. Must have been 20 degrees cooler and a nice breeze. It was great. I didn't even hit the main grounds today. Wasn't into it. And now we got a big storm tonight that will probably make Wednesday look like a slight drizzle.

If neither the powerball or megamillions get won before show, I'm hitting the miracle mile in Fon du Lac and buying tickets.

7mm-08 is a great round. One of my Tikkas is in that caliber.

My first Tikka 15 years ago, a lot of people complained that they wouldn't trust the "cheap" plastic mags that came with it. Never had a problem. Neither with my Ruger. Just have to have make sure you seat it square. You just can't slap it in like an AR mag, and you shouldn't need to anyways.

I own 2 Tikka T3 Lites. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Tikka rifle. But I bought them when they went for $600 new. I also own a Ruger American. Great budget rifle. If you have a Dunhams sporting goods by you, they usually have good prices come fall hunting season.

Hartford, WI is hosting a STOL competition Friday and Saturday. There will be people camping on the field. You will be welcome there.

Said it on their site. I didn't read any further.

That's a little pricey, but you are saving a couple hundred by not paying for the tax stamp.

That will be the best bet in the long run. Check out https://www.silencershop.com/ You should be able to find everything you need here.

I agree. Look at Surefire products. You can get a flash suppressor and compatible sound suppressor.

Port Canaveral. One cruise secret that is not really a secret is that almost all cruise ships have a small morgue to hold a few bodies and people die on cruise ships from natural causes every day.
