Knew a few guys that had 88s in .243, .284, and .308. |

I DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD REALLY DO IT! THEY DON"T COME OFF UNDER NORMAL USE!! Well, what the fuck. Don't tell me to do something like that and expect me to not do it. I stuck the patch back on and have been wearing the hat. hit it with a pressure washer today. Patch is still stuck on there. Kinda impressive really considering I ripped it off and just smacked it back on there. so, science can be pretty cool. oh, and my neighbor felt compelled to tell me she is growing mushrooms, so if I see her watering logs in her backyard, she is not crazy, she is just growing mushrooms. we will see how that science works for her. |
