John, you're welcome on my farm anytime. But hunting in my county is shotgun only for deer. Rabbits and about anything else is .22. Odd though you can shoot big bore all you want in target 'practice'. At almost 59 I can still flip a groundhog at 250 yards with a .303 British with v sights. That's bench rested though. Best one I did was a groundhog at approx. 375 10 years ago.



Wasn't that illegal? Could a .223 be used for varmint hunting?

John, I've whacked many a coyote with my AUG.

Wow...imagine the bravery and presence of mind it takes to aim at, shoot
and kill those dangerous, toothy, charging prairie dogs two and a half
football fields away! A lesser man would have run for cover.


No one said anything about prairie dogs.
Your reading skills are as bad as your parenting skills

Yeah, well...back then I couldn't afford a buck!

My breakfast in High School was usually 2 ten cent Little Tavern
hamburgers



My earliest recollection of McDonalds is fifteen cent hamburgers and
seventeen cent cheeseburgers. My buddy and I used to ride our bicycles
down to the McDonalds in Hingham, MA (the only one around back then).

In those days they cooked 'em on a grill and piled them up under heat
lamps until they sold.



You didn't hit the McDonald's on the Boston Post Road in Orange, or the
one in Hamden? The one in Orange was across the BPR from Nick's Italian
Grocery, maker of the best subs anywhere. Some people thought McDonald's
would put Nick's out of business, but Nick had a secret weapon: he was
the biggest bookie in the Orange-West Haven area, and never suffered a
business downturn. The McDonald's had a trampoline park next door, too.

In those days, I thought the only thing McDonald's had that was edible
were the fries. The burgers were and still are for ****, and the shakes
had no milk in them.


Ray Krock actually bought McDonalds for their Milk Shake Machine.

They were 14 cents and we would buy a dozen to go when working on the race
car. Toss 1/2 the buns and combine the meat, and put some lettuce on them.

No you can use high powered to hunt about anything but deer. a .223 would
rip a rabbit up though.

Probably a .17 HMR would be a good round.

Would that be the Milk-less Milk Shake Machine? I don't know what's in
them now, but back when I am talking about, they were not made of milk.

Sure, but you have to be able to see the varmint and have a rifle
capable of shooting something fairly small at a reasonable distance.
Maybe you should practice with your driver.

No fast food chain has any milk in the shakes. That is why they are
just called shakes.
It is a bag of powder they dump in the chiller machine, first thing in
the morning and by the time they open, it is a frozen slush. When they
are in a hurry they put a scoop of ice in there.

Fries are an interesting thing. It is the highest profit item in a
fast food joint. Better than coffee, tea and way ahead of the soft
drinks. That is why they are always fiddling with the recipe, trying
to get the ones people want.

I got a lot of insight into those operations working in the Wendys for
7 years but I really learned about the operation when we were
integrating the new computer systems into Burger King. I was one of
the T3 guys who taught the guys who taught the managers. We knew just
about everything there was to know about how a Burger King runs and
where the money goes.
A couple years later Wendys adopted the same basic system and we
rolled the first one out in Naples. I got to meet Dave. Wendys liked
us in Ft Myers because of the way we ran the older register systems.

In reality, I liked that business better than the glass house
operations although it was pretty unpopular with some guys who took
themselves too seriously.

BTW, even is slave wage Florida, I never saw anyone making minimum
wage.



I avoid most of the chain burger joints, though I do have a Five Guys
burger and fries once in a while. I've convinced the local FGs to NOT
overcook the burger, which they tend to do, and to keep the salt off my
fries.
