    I was gifted about $5k in new-to-me video equipment. Really professional level stuff. It just needs some TLC. And batteries. And a power cable or two. And an adapter for the tripod.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    Very good place to start. New cars are the killer for young airmen.

    Sorry fellow PWT whores, I know I came off kind of dickish with that post, but I'm really not a dick (much) in real life.

    No worries, Irving. I know you're not a dick, you have a sharp sense of humor that I appreciate. The "eat dicks" thing made me laugh, and thats all good.

    There are plenty of guys on this board that are EXCELLENT shooters; leagues and light years better than me. I'm not very special. I'm not very good. I'm just the loudmouth with a youtube channel.
    HB's post and your response to it, are honest and respectful opinions about the cool folks here that really have their shit together behind a rifle or pistol. Don't sell yourself short though Belly, a lot of folks like what you've put up for us to see and learn from. There are a great many fellers that don't even come close to having the balls to do what you've done on that stuff.
