^^^ yep. All good points above. We have two noisy dogs who are trained to bark their heads off whenever someone comes to the house. It’s a little irritating when friends come over though. Getting...

They threw away the mold.....

^^^ that's kinda my motivation for this thread: who knows what could happen?

^^^ Indeed. We all are different as we are all responsible for our decisions. Makes sense.

Very good points and suggestions. We have a similar lighting strategy. I am in the process of rethinking the movement procedure and we will need to practice that. Placement of the rifle will be a...
