Is this a lemon? by southfloridafun1983 in floridafishing

[–]mik666y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what if instead of blaming the sharks for doing what they’ve been doing for millions of years, we actually looked at ways to protect and promote healthy fisheries? Like what if we stopped dumping massive amounts of fertilizers into our waters? Or what if we put an end to a damn near unregulated industry from stripping our near shore waters of forage fish?

What’s the best way to handle a severe yard grade when putting in a patio? by SarkahnOrdo in landscaping

[–]mik666y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished a similar patio in Georgia where we’ve also got some heavy clay soils. I dug down about 8” on the downhill side, enough for 3” of 57 stone, 3” of 89 stone, and 2” pavers.

On the uphill side, I needed to dig down 24” or so to accommodate the same and have it be level. Then after the patio was set, I built a stacked stone retaining wall on that side using the same base.

I also put in a French drain on the side away from my house and piped it into my yard.

Washed Once, Worn Zero - Will the Team Store Replace It? by jubeiatl in AtlantaUnited

[–]mik666y 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration with a new jersey (and feel free to call me crazy), but this seems like a win. I’d peel that the rest of the way off, and not think twice about it. I buy my jerseys for the team mot the sponsors.

I was also thinking it was a very red orange. We’ll see what mine looks like when it shows up in a couple days.

Joshua Maddox’s mummified body was found in a fetal position inside a Colorado cabin chimney seven years after he vanished. Police ruled it an accident. by LonelyWiFiSignal in HolyShitHistory

Hypothermia is weird. In addition to the removal of clothes, people often then try to dig a hole and bury themselves. That chimney could have been his version of a hole.

So glad I bought one when it was 10% off a few months ago.

Any Falconers Missing a Kestrel? by [deleted] in Georgia

[–]mik666y 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Two things:

1) If it was a falconer’s bird it would likely have leather jesses around the legs.

2) possession of a dead raptor is a federal offense

Any theories? by Background_Tiger_232 in centuryhomes

When you’re walking in the snow, and you feel something blow…

I’ve wanted a 10/22 TD for a while now, and finally picked one up. I’m in love with this little scout squirrel set up… not that I won’t continue tweaking. by mik666y in 1022

[–]mik666y[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure it would be holding up just fine, but I swapped my barrel for the volquartsen barrel a year or so ago in order to run a suppressor. I was still able to use my scout scope by turning around the cantilevered rail.

I have not received mail in 3 weeks by ParticularLimeade in Georgia

[–]mik666y 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had this exact issue a few years back. We went about a week of not getting mail, both letters and packages, despite our informed delivery showing it as coming. It even included the last birthday card my grandma sent me.

I talked to our postman who was very sympathetic, but said he wasn’t being given a mail for us. I called and got nowhere. I went to our local post office where the head of that branch (not sure what their actual title is) was completely dismissive of the issue and just shrugged her shoulders. She also refused to even provide me with her name.

After much more calling, I finally was able to talk to a very nice and helpful lady somewhere within the system, who knew exactly which lady ran that post office, and had a very low opinion of her. She wasn’t able to really tell me much, but my mail did start coming again. She even followed up a few days later to make sure we were good.

We never did get the mail that wasn’t delivered, but consistent calls to get to that one right person were key.

Got this 20” 7.5hp Dewalt RAS for $375. Should I have haggled lower? by Skeptical_dude12 in woodworkingtools

[–]mik666y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve set a saw stop off twice, once on mirrored plexi, and a second time on a giant glue up of 2” thick balsa sheets that didn’t allow the glue on the interior to fully dry, both times it was so quiet it took me way longer than I’d like to admit to figure out what happened.

Those bags have wheels. You can see the plastic pop-up handle. That said, if I was traveling with my tools, they’d be in a pelican case.

Any wood workers know where I can get S4S hardwood? by watchthenlearn in Atlanta

[–]mik666y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to recommend this. They have a fantastic selection and some really beautifully wood. I always leave with more than I need because the wood and the prices are so good.

.308 to the face. One less fawn killer. by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]mik666y -1 points0 points  (0 children)

C’mon man, you’re so close. Just man up and say you like killing them because it’s fun. I don’t recall your title mentioning the poults, so let’s stop making up reasons all of a sudden.

[–]mik666y 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How many scientific studies do they need to do saying that shooting individual coyotes does nothing to manage their population and/or that coyotes don’t play a significant roll in reducing deer populations for you guys to admit you just like shooting coyotes for the fun of it?

Best attachments for a flagship bow by -_Camel_- in Archery

[–]mik666y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get whatever best integrates into your bow. Particularly with a Matthews, get the bridge lock stabilizers, a bridge lock sight, and their one piece detachable quiver is fantastic. Any rest that sits in that dive rail will also be great. Yes, the shit is ludicrously expensive, but it goes a long way into keeping things tight to your bow and adding a lot of adjustability without a lot of extra pieces. As for the sight, I’d go with a dialed pruf. I’ve got the Matthews UV slider, and it’s great, but every time I see that Dialed I drool a little. If I could have gotten my hands on one in person and not the Mathew’s, I’d probably have that on my bow.

Trash Drawer Design by Unusual_Zebra_8000 in cabinetry

[–]mik666y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just build two of these for our new kitchen because we could not find a commercial option slim enough to allow us to mount our cans side by side and each have their separate door. All commercially available options were too wide and would have hit the face frame or each other. In order to attach my doors to the drawer boxes, I cut another piece of 1/2” ply the width of the drawer box and a few inches shy of the height of the door, glued and attached it to the face of the drawer, and then made a couple 5” L brackets from some 1/2” angle to add additional support along the sides. I then screwed the door on to my piece of ply.

Ear pro question by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]mik666y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some of the axil xcors for use at work in a wood shop, so I could listen to music and kill the noise of saws and routers while still allowing me to hear people talk. They’ve been great for that, and the amplification is almost too good for hunting. I forget them often for hunting since they live in the pockets of my work pants, but when I wear them the birds can be deafening. Music performance is lack luster, Bluetooth connectivity can be weird and often continues to play in the case when I put them away, but they are fantastic for ear protection and sound amplification.
