I suppose the authorities decided to start chipping dogs first in anticipation of extending the program to the public, thereby skipping the whole "national ID" fiasco that is so controversial here in the US?:shocked: I further suppose the implant is painless; after all how many complaints have been heard from the dogs?:laughing:

Hey Don, a verse from War Pigs by Black Sabbath, just for Whipper.
[QUOTENow in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah][/QUOTE]

Much cooler today, after 66 yesterday, 54 today.

58°F and rainy this morning, going up to 68° today with potentially severe storms later in the day.
Heard from the auto body shop regarding the boy's wrecked Tiburon. As they got under it to look at straightening the subframe, they discovered a substantial amount of rust, and aren't sure they can pull it straight without the possibility of breaking it. So, Wife talked to the insurance company (she had full coverage on it, but had told the boy it was just liability
), and they agreed to pay the purchase amount. She told him if he can find something at that same price, he can get it. Otherwise, he's walking from now on. This will be his 5th vehicle in two years, and the last one from us, a point we both firmly impressed upon him.
Hog hunt party at Don's place? I've been looking for an excuse to buy a .223 bolt rifle.

Any excuse is better than no excuse.

Poured second cup of coffee. 62° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 88° with sunny skies. Saw parks tractor drive by yesterday. Was thinking I should go to office and if they need another operator. I must need some seat time. Taking wife shopping today.
Lenny, waiting on video.
Don, hope your wife does not get hurt by pig. Carry protection? Maybe Whipper needs to stay closer?
Drew, nice garden.
Irv, hope it dries out before I get home late next month.
Good Morning All.

Good Morning! 50F @ 7:00AM. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High near 60F. Winds NW at 15 to 25 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
Yesterday's front brought only 0.03" of rain in the wee hours this morning, not even enough to wet the concrete on the patio. Big winds today as another Pacific high reestablishes itself bringing back upper 70s for Saturday before another cold front brings in a skiff of rain on Sunday.
That's quite a big bunch of pigs, Don. Ranchers around here hate the things because they can tear up a lot of ground in a hurry. Pig season is year round as a result. You might find the .223 a little light for porkers, PJ. They've got heavy bone and cartilage shields from their shoulder blades covering a large fraction of their vital zone, and a lightweight fast moving bullet might not make it through. Something tough like a 62 grain Nosler Partition might be OK, but you'll need a 1:7 twist to stabilize it. We use deer size calibers out here like 308 Win., 3006, 7mm Rem. Mag. etc. Never had any complaints from the pigs.:laughing:
Reinstalled the dash on the van yesterday so I could mark where the switch bank will go. I'm a little leery of cutting up the lower part for mounting the switch box, so will practice on the spare dash I have here and take that back for a try out before doing the real thing. The mechanic showed me the muffler clamp he's been using, a plain carbon steel part he wants to do over in stainless. He showed one to me that had only been on a van for six months and it was badly rusted, a result I think of the high temperatures it sees in service. It's not a complicated part, and he's planning to have it made at a local fabricator, but wants my ideas on the design, and perhaps a formal drawing, which I'm happy to provide. Finished the day up by installing the window regulators in the driver and passenger doors, falling short of also installing the scrapers and seals in the window frame because the instructional videos I'd previously loaded on the iPad had disappeard during the last update and the WiFi network at the shop is too slow to stream them. Apple pushed major updates out earlier in the week for all of its devices, so I'll take some time this morning to back everything up before applying them, then moving the videos to the iPad again. Hope they stick this time...
Today the old insturment housing will get a bath, and I'll have a try at cleaning up the faces of the various instruments as well. I was cautioned to only use water and soap to do this, and precious little at that, to avoid smearing the printing. I've ruined one or two before with solvent, so I plan on being extra careful this time around.

Yeah, I've considered that. While I've seen guys drop them with a .22WMR, I never thought that was a good idea. .30-'06 is always a good all-around game cartridge. I've also been lusting after a lever gun in .357mag. Pretty sure a 158gr LSWC out of a 20" bbl will punch through anything a pig can offer. That might be more fun anyway.

What do you think about pig hunting with an AR? My Cajun friends claim that's the way to go.
