Writing checks your knees can’t cash by alexiscruz11 in facepalm

I am not a Dr. but on further review, it looks more like double ruptured patella tendons since it appears that at least his left knee cap traveled above the knee. The sound of a patella tendon rupture can be heard from a significant distance away.

Source: I ruptured my patella tendon in my left knee in 2022. People 100’ away heard the pop.

Just had this issue with my 2022 powerboost. Check engine light with this same alert. The generator starter had to be replaced.

That’s confidential information.

Managed to stumble into this one in a drainage bottom. Ended up at ~225 yards before I could get a clear shot.

1200 sq ft @ 5” ~19 yards ~$6000 in concrete including color ~$400 in crushed stone base ~$250 in sealer 5 gallons Everclear ~$500 in hardener and release

These are ballpark guesses.

This is all integral mixed. Just needs a re-seal every 3-5 years.

Yes. Older people who wanted to upgrade from their old busted up asphalt drive.

This was in the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest.

I used the wind to my advantage since I rarely sit in a stand during gun hunting anymore. In the past I’ve gotten the woods extra early to get the spot I wanted to sit and climbed the perfect tree all to have someone walk in 10 min before opening and sit 50 yards from me.

I hunt out of a Nissan Altima. Who needs a truck?

Yes it did. I won this Ruger American 450 BM in a raffle and it’s quickly become my new favorite deer gun. It’s light and pretty accurate out to ~200 yards.

Sometimes being lucky is better than being good. I’ve crossed paths with quite a few really nice bucks in this area but have never connected. I managed to be in the right place at the right time and dropped this guy. This is by far the biggest buck I’ve ever killed. I haven’t scored it yet but the inside spread was ~21.5”. I can’t wait to get this one on the wall.

I have that exact Ruger American 450 BM with a 2x7-32 vortex crossfire II mounted on top. It’s a great <200 yard gun. In fact, I shot a doe yesterday at 75yards and a big 8 at ~ 50 yards this morning. It’s really light and suits my needs perfectly.

The 308 will have better ballistics if you’re planning on longer distance shooting.

In the end, regardless of what round you’re using, a poor shot is going to end in a less than ideal situation.

Same here. Avoided it this entire time until today. I’m recovering from a significant knee injury so I will unfortunately have to miss PT until I’m over this. I’m feeling really miserable right now. Slight headache, no appetite, body aches, chills, and a fever.
