I am very upset about the Baldwin decision. While I aggressively support everyone's 2nd amendment rights, and I don't think he intended to kill anyone, I believe he is clearly guilty of reckless endangerment and manslaughter.
The facts: It was not a prop gun, it was an antique firearm and they had been (previously) target shooting with it, so everyone knew it was a real gun. As such, you have a responsibility to always treat it as if it is loaded.
"They told me it was loaded with blanks". So, what! Before you point it at someone you have to responsibility to check it, and a revolver is so easy to check through the cylinder gap.
We are told that he pulled the hammer back, pointed it at someone that was not in the script, but did not pull the trigger (there was a mechanical failure). Right ... you are going to pull the hammer back, point it at someone who is not in the script, but you didn't pull the trigger ... I call BS!!!
He acted irresponsibly, killed someone and then lied about it, then gets away with it ... Shameful!

I'm 71 with a BP of 110/70 and a pulse rate around 56 - 60. I thrive on sugar.
Same... only younger
Mike, don't take offense on this reply. I watch everything I eat also because I am on a seefood diet. All the food I see I eat. Due to my very active lifestyle I tend to keep my weight down under 190 now. When it cools down a bit I'll be out splitting wood again and cutting down trees. Then I can get back down to around 180 - 183.
Agree with you 100%.
Nice standard cabChevy Silverado,

I think I ate 1 to many Oreos last night 
I agree on all points but then we all knew this would be the outcome.
Only 8 ? SLACKER!!!
I can fit a lot is saws in the truck bedsYou realize you have a problem…right?
Next you’ll be building a new warehouse for all your trucks
Takes up more space than chainsaws, but, what the heck?
We gotta have hobbies…

I call BS on the whole thing. He knew she had political views opposite his. He knew she was about to embark on a project that would make the Donkey crowd look bad. He set out to murder her and got by with it. Baldloser is professional liar. You can make up your own mind. YMMV
I did some research on my truck, as none of the information they gave me specifies this.
The 2019 2.7 ltr 10 speed w/Super Cab and 6.5 bed and 3.55 gears has a towing capacity of 7,700 lbs.
I brought a mini-excavator rental home from HD (7,500 lbs) and it was fine.

I can tell you that you don’t want to try to drag one up the hills of RT17 to the cabin with a half ton, those 2500 Duramax’s I use do the job SOOO much better when bringing equipment up to the cabin.
It's time again!!! Doesn't have to be a big one, just don't feel like clearing all the loose rock by hand.
Maybe the logger can do it with a skidder plow???
Super tempting

That $13 one did the trick. Must have a failure somewhere inside the Walbro. Gasket kit costs more than the cheap replacement which came with gasket, foam filter, bulbs, fuel lines and fuel filter. The new one 4 cycles a bit at full throttle but there’s no way to adjust that so I’ll roll with it.
