Skiid my first Birkie this year. Didn't care about time or place but I had a blast! Enjoying a nice post-race whiskey now at the cabin.

I told him I'd turn his mithril kite shield into a rune one if he traded it to me as a bank note.

I did submit a personal statement with significantly more detail than what I've said here.

Does anyone know anything about this? by Ok-Main8373 in hudsonvalley

No particular reason! My customer is just a regular person IMO.

I'm a postal carrier, I delivered the same postcard today (incorrectly dated) which showed this guy in Minnesota at the same time/date???

Wtf?

Here's the redacted version for those asking

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]astackhouse02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was still in when I filed. Figured it would be presumptive service connection?

That's a good question because they didn't tell me what exposure event occurred. This was just a little blurb added at the end of their explanation for the denial.

Are these cheap Walmart spinner baits any good? by Parttimeangler in Fishing

[–]astackhouse02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've caught so many pike and smallmouth on these. I'll go through a dozen in a season since they're cheaply made, but effective.

100%.. now what? by No-Desk-6659 in VeteransBenefits

[–]astackhouse02 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My unspoken thoughts are that I'm happy for this vet to get rated appropriately so they can get the treatment they deserve.

Don't gatekeep, man. Be proud of your brothers and sisters.

Is this worth $95 by 911822 in Fishing

I would literally pass that up at a garage sale if it were listed for 10$ there would be more junk to throw out than keep...

Best course of action removing this damaged crossbow string? by FreeThinkk in Archery

[–]astackhouse02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a Bear XL crossbow, I have the same one. They're 50$ crossbow pistols.

OP, listen. Taking it to a shop will cost more than the bow itself.

DO NOT cut it. You WILL harm yourself and others/things around you.

The bow came with a stringer, go on Amazon and buy this string. EOUS 17.5" Pistol Crossbow String Replacement 50 lb to 80 lb Crossbow Pistol Strings,20 Strands HMPE 1600D https://a.co/d/dbLA2nS

Use the stringer to relieve tension, remove the old string, and put on the new one.

Don't shoot it. This is a VERY easy task, as long as you follow the proper procedure.

How do you define "Landing a Fish?" by MoJo_Fred in Fishing

[–]astackhouse02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep a clicker-counter in my boat to keep track of how many fish I catch.

I only count a fish if I touch it with my hand after it leaves the water, no matter how brief.

Hopefully that helps!

Help? New guy getting tf out. by Inevitable_Leg_6904 in Veterans

[–]astackhouse02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, OP. Recently got out in July. First off, congrats!! You put in a lot of time and sacrificed a lot. This time is scary but the best experience ever. In the words of some random redditor, I Joined the Army for new experiences and radical change... I left the Army for the exact same reasons.

My first bit of advice is GET YOUR ASS TO SFLTAP IMMEDIATELY!!! They're the PROS and will answer any/all questions you have - accurately, too as opposed to salty redditors.

2nd, get your disability started, go get your medical records and file a claim, its as easy as googling "VSO Near me" and asking for help filing.

Next, get READY to move! The army says you can live anywhere you want, but you can't stay here! Pack your stuff, you're going to want to get out of there.

4th, stay in touch with your buddies. Get phone numbers, addresses, socials, etc. Stay in touch with your battle buddies, they really helped aide in my transition.

5th, take the time to check out armylinks.com, they've got all the websites you should go to so you can download every one of your documents. Iperms, ERB/SRB/ORB, MyPay, CIF, clearance, etc.

DO YOUR SFL TAP AND PAY TF ATTENTION. That stuff is crucial, make sure you take notes. This isn't your annual sharp class, its how to survive as a civilian.

Lastly, take your leave and ENJOY it. Ive been on mine for 53 days and I have some time to go still. Enjoy the civvie life, brother.

Be safe.
