you need the suppressor for anything over 1,027 fps (depending on altitude) because the pellet will break the speed of sound and give you a mini sonic boom (the 'crack'). I'll bet the suppressor interrupts the sound wave enough on that air rifle that by the time the pellet leaves it it's no longer traveling fast enough to create a boom and all you hear is the 'pfft'.
one of my neighbors had one of the pump crosmans. We used to practice in his basement. I'll have to look into getting one.

When I first visited the island I now call home there weren't any squirrels (or so few that they didn't impinge on my awareness). They've been moving north from the ferry landing for the last 10 years. Today I found one on the bird feeder. Watching ecology happen is sometimes depressing.
continue with your day.

The sun is coming up and the sky is blue and it's cold out, below freezing heading for the 40s later.
wish I could watch the CBC coverage of the Olympics.
better days y'all.

Studded tires are legal here from Oct.15 to Mar. 15 (maybe Feb. 15). It was a surprise to me when I moved back and heard the first set driving by . If I spent more time in the mountains I'd have a set, never felt as secure driving in MN without them, though they're really best on hard packed snow or ice. and MN does it's best to clear the roads of packed snow and salt/sand the ice. Where I'm living now, there's no need for studs, which is why I fit in so well.

yeup, having a brief resurgence of winter, temps down in the upper 20s, might warm up into the 40s later, but it's not raining. I'm sure there's something that needs me to get it done today...maybe it will find me, maybe it wont.

I cannot help here, except maybe they're balancing out everything being a Paczki there by nothing being a Paczki here. I think I understand LJ's pain, though. Kim has the same protest over kolaches, until I discovered a lovely bakery in Marion that makes them the way they're supposed to be made. Note to Dub: Kim says they are much better than the ones in Czech Village. thanks anyway... what's a paczki?
