I think the biggest take-home message from all of this is that there are consequences in some parts of the country for being a little quick on the trigger when it comes to self-defense.
And, that is coming from someone who doesn't think this guy should spend most (if not all) of the rest of...
Going back to my little fishing trip to Van Hook last weekend, that damn carp I caught was snagged by the dorsal fin with the single hook on my spinner. Just about the time my BIL netted the bastard, it flipped out and the whole rig came flying at me as I still had a pretty good bind on the...
Last time I had to reroof a home, it was some $17k. That was on a 2300 sqft home, so roughly an uncomplicated roof over an 1150 sqft home, plus a two stall garage. So, maybe 25-30 square overall. That was around 2008.

Went up to Van Hook to take my 86 yr old stepdad and brother-in-law out fishing. We stayed mostly up in the very north end of Van Hook and pulled spinners with crawlers in 8-24 ft of water. Most of our keeper eyes came shallow over by the old swimming beach area.
Here's our total catch over 8...
