      Astigmatism and aim

      So the age of needing glasses has reached me. A few years ago I was told I have astigmatism in my right eye. So far it is only for fine print but I remembered that close the one eye that is fine, would that cause me to shoot slightly left when using iron sights? I probably pull it left not...

      Things to do around spring mill state park.

      Wife and I are more then likely going to stay at the inn Thursday through Saturday next week. We might go look at west Baden springs on the way down and hit up Nashville on the way home (more to eat at big woods). Anything that is absolutely to do around the park? We will do some hiking and...

      What projects are you working on during the summer of Covid?

      We are in the final stages of a deck rebuild that started in June. Getting treated deck boards was the big hurdle. Started out as just adding a 4x8 section for my grill and buying a store bought shade structure. Then adding an 4x16 section of deck. Then redoing the entire top deck boards and...

      Work self evaluation time, I forgot how much it sucks.

      This is the first year for me at my new job. I forgot how much it sucks. I’m my own worst critic in everything I do, plus they ask for goals. I hate it. Plus I heard the one on one reviews takes hours.

      The official photography fun thread, please don't flash me!

      I searched but couldn't find any just showing off photos thread so I figured I would start one. I used to use a DSLR but it is just impractical to have at a moments notice and requires a lot of planning, etc. I recently got an iPhone 11 pro max after a friend got one and posted some night...

      Potentially getting out of my current career, it is scary.

      I have been in television since I was a senior in high school in 2001. A year ago my job at my previous employer was eliminated after I had been there 17.5 years (https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/break-room/460635-i-%93downsized-%93-today.html). I was able to secure new employment at the...

      Beto special/top guns Terre Haute.

      Yesterday top guns ran a “Beto special” in the local paper as an ad on the front page. The typical reaction happened. The pro gun side was okay with it, demand was high enough for top guns to extend the sale on Smith and Wesson m&p 15’s until Tuesday or inventory runs out. The other side went...

      Went to a new drive in theater today

      How often can you say that nowadays. Normally they would be closed but they opened in September. They had two movies for free, polar express and national lampoons Christmas vacation. Now the upside to this location was that they only had to renovate the screen, not make a new one. The location...

      Washer and dryers are expensive.

      Did a load of laundry this past weekend and came back from the gym and realized the washer was still on. The control panel was off but it sounded like the drain pump was still going. Unplug it and it stopped, plug it back in and it goes back on. I figured a service call would be at least 100...

      I was “downsized “ today

      Along with two others, but I will be okay. My wife makes enough that we didn’t use my income other then my car payment, car insurance and my credit card. I am getting severance for 17 weeks. So so my question, unemployment. I don’t need it now, do I absolutely have to apply now if I want it...

      I cried yesterday morning and it won’t be the last time in the next yesr

      Back story, my wife and I lost a baby in 2014, had a rainbow in 2015. Earlier this year we lost another. We started trying again and was eventually successful. With our history it was hard to think positive but my wife was experiencing pregnancy issues that made us hopeful. Our doctor scheduled...

      It was Gatlinburg in mid July

      I just hit town and my throat was dry. Now now that I got a boy named sue in your head, potentially going to Gatlinburg in September. What to do. Can be thrill seeking or not. Just my wife and I. Obviously knife works is in order. Also the island and probably hillbilly golf. Nothing for sure...

      Chicago/South Shore line

      Trying to plan a small trip for my wife and I in September and thinking about driving up to northern Indiana and catching a train into Chicago. Anyone know how close the South Shore line can get you to Navy Pier/the lake shore? If we can, we will uber or take a cab to Wrigley if we can buy...

      Adding a new addition to the family.....

      Not saying anything on facebook yet, but my daughter will be a big sister this fall. When we first got blood test confirmation that we were expecting, I admit I wasn't near as excited as the first time. Then my wife started showing earlier then last time, which I learned is normal. To keep up...

      Stomach flu sucks

      My wife got it Monday night at work (she is a nurse at a hospital) and I had to pick her up. I slept on the couch to avoid it. I woke up with it and slept on and off for almost all of yesterday. Today it was fun in other ways. Hoping our two year old doesn’t get it but she is at grandpa and...

      Where to buy bulk ammunition for descent price.

      Since getting range membership I am going through 200-300 rounds per trip. Not a problem with 22, I still have abut. My 9mm supply is lacking. I can get a 100 count pack from meijer for 19.99 and that is cheaper then the range prices of 12 for 50 rounds. Previously I’ve bought 350 round packs...
