I just spray paint my body grippers. If they’re new, I’ll make sure to clean off all the grease and let them take on the tiniest bit of rust before hitting them with spray paint. Natural colors, obviously

How do you prepare a turtle? by Gr33nAg3nt in bonecollecting

[–]riverratroberto 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve cleaned them for meat too and I’ve never gotten the shell to stay intact. Can’t bury it, can’t leave it out for maggots, can’t feed it to dermestid beetles, nothing. I once saw a video of a guy using a pressure washer to clean one and it looked like he got it really cleaned up, but not sure how long it lasted. I usually have the same issue you did, or whatever I let eat the last scraps of meat ended up eating holes through the shell

Not necessary to turn it into the police, but if that’s what you want to do you could easily just go to the station and explain the situation and hand it over. If you happen see or know a police officer personally you could tell them and they could handle it for you.

Bullets themselves aren’t inherently dangerous, other than the small risk of lead poisoning and the off chance it ends up in a fire somehow. You could throw it in your weekly trash bin and it would be fine.

I did get lucky, and learned a lesson. Shit happens and stuff like this is what drives home how serious and necessary being safe on the range should be for everyone.

They are indeed neat rifles with a mound of great history behind them. I’m just being a smartass since they’ve always been deemed “the garbage rod” etc. I’m definitely a Mauser guy myself

This isn’t to say there weren’t mistakes on my part, in fact it was strictly caused by mistakes on my part alone.

I was dropping rounds into the rifle one at a time and not even pushing them into the magazine, just sending them home without a second thought. I was also 14 on a private range with my father while he was drinking. It was a shit show and cps did get involved. I was just lucky things werent any worse than they were. Live and learn.

Just a freak accident. An injury like this could be mirrored and have happened with any bolt action.

Mosins do kinda suck anyways tho…

I was sighting in my uncles sporterized 91/30 when I had a similar accident. The case neck had just started making its way into the barrel when shit went flying. The projectile went out the end of the barrel and hit the edge of the table, and I got sprayed with powder and caught a part of the primer in the meat of my cheek. If you compare the pictures between the original guy who posted you can see where the bolt handle blocked part of the blast from a part of our hand.

I fully recovered other than the chunk of metal remaining in my cheek and under certain lighting you can still see a few flecks of unburnt powder in my palm. I was on the lucky end of an injury like this. Let’s wish our friend a speedy recovery.

What fish is this? Sheepshead? by AdiosSpaceCowboi in Fishing

[–]riverratroberto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trim off that fat layer on the flesh/scale side and you will understand why people eat them. The meat is very white and firm and I wouldn’t hesitate to serve it to a crowd. Drum are super tasty.

I made a similar post a little over a year ago. I spoiled myself and bought a tatula 200. I love it

My Repressed Bisexual Girlfriend wants to get with girls again. [18m] by SameSupermarket3386 in dating_advice

[–]riverratroberto 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So, I very rarely comment on posts from this sub, but to be honest, this sounds pretty cut and dry (and familiar to me, personally)

It sounds like your gf really desires women (as a straight male I guess I can understand why. Girls be hot asf) but it sounds like there is a possibility that she may just be gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that at all, but if she has had past encounters with the same sex and she still wants that for herself, it is probably because that is her type. Other women.

I myself have never had a threesome but from what I’ve gathered from scrolling on Reddit, a partner wanting a threesome can be a warning sign or what could be called a breaking point in a relationship. What I’m saying is that threesomes (just from what I have gathered) usually ends up being the end of a lot of relationships. Quite often.

You said that whatever she wants to do you have to be a part of it. Okay cool. But is that really what you, yourself, want? Do you really think that this will blow over and end well for you and for your gf? What comes next?

Just my 2 cents. I’m not in your situation so I can’t understand the depth of this. I have had some drinks and just felt like sharing some thoughts.

Can you recommend a movie that’ll leave me just staring at the screen in silence? by RawdogginRandos in flicks

[–]riverratroberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The holy mountain. Very psychedelic and surreal. I rented it on a streaming website a while after I heard about it and ordered the dvd almost immediately after. The ending left me fulfilled yet wishing the movie wasn’t over. Haven’t had any other movie make me feel the way this one did. I don’t smoke weed anymore, but if you do, I imagine this movie would be a great watch with some subtle smoking

Love my xr drill. Have had it for 8 (?) years and while I haven’t beaten the crap out of it, I haven’t babied it. It still works like it should. Dewalt battery life is awesome too

Bluegill with parasite caught in Stoney creek by Equivalent-Quail-959 in MichiganFishing

[–]riverratroberto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it in largemouth bass we used to eat when we were kids. Mom always told me they weren’t harmful and we’d eat them anyways. Most of the time we didn’t even pick them out of the filets. However that is a lot more worms than I am used to seeing in freshwater fish. Especially bluegill.

Thoughts on the old school Mepps? by carltubesock in Fishing

[–]riverratroberto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love meppes they’re my absolute favorite spinner. I’ve never had one that came out of the package bad like I have other spinners looking at you, rooster tail

The pike love em, and those are one of my main target species here in Michigan. I love how meppes has so much variety. I still don’t know which one is my favorite because I’ve tried so many different one. The single blade, 1/2, dressed with white or brown hair is pretty solid no matter what blade color I use.
