    If the hummingbirds are roosting in the back of a semi-trailer
    - and the truck stops at the scales
    - will the truck weigh less
    - if the driver beats on the side of the trailer
    - to get the hummingbirds to fly?

    I think a BTU is the amount of energy it takes to heat 1 gallon of water 1 degree Fahrenheit.

    I don't know what you're talking about a BUTT and a TUB.

    of course!

    Do you walk to work or take your lunch?

    no and yes

    What bullet weight and powder charge do you prefer in your .236 - .505 Hummingbird ackley improved +P belted magnum wildcat necked down propriety bottle necked cartridge...

    For shooting border varmints and migrant convoy critters at 500+ yds...

    neither. I don't get any anjoyment out of shooting animals.

    Or for your .408 - .50 BMG Barret BIg Boy heavy barrel "grandma deuce" M82 Texas Ranger Edition anti CAR technical and raghead BMP bolt action rifle...

    I haven't tried reloading for it (don't have the dies. shucky darn) but if I were to throw the gearshift on that thing up to .50BMG I think I would try a Hornady A-Max over 246.4 grains of VV 20N29.

    And please give us your top 5 reasons why Glocksuckers are delusional fan boy posers with gender fluid self identities...

    sorry, fresh out of reasons for that

    What was wrong with your truck, and what did it cost to get it fixed?

    Buddy was just at the Ford Dealer getting oil changed and tires rotated.where he bought his F150.
    Guy comes out and told him he needed new lug nuts. Like.$150.00! His Lug Nuts were swollen and if he had a problem, his lug wrench might not fit them!
    Are your lug nuts swollen?

    Here is a real one. Ask them why did GM quit putting disc brakes on the rear of their 1500 pick-up trucks after 2004 and go back with drum brakes? My 2003 Silverado 1500 has 4 wheel disc brakes.

    "Based upon published species-wide averages of wing length and body mass, initial Strouhal estimates based on those averages and cross-species comparisons, the Lund wind tunnel study of birds flying at a range of speeds, and revised Strouhal numbers based on that study gives an estimate that the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour."

    I'm sure the mechanic could have given you the answer to that. he's very good and he knows his cars. but, the truck has been fixed and I'm not there anymore.

    According to Monte Python and The Holy Grail, you were not supposed to know the answer to that question!

    You were then supposed to be picked up by an invisible force and thrown to your death down the steep bridge embankment. :o

    Only to show up ALIVE in the next scene of the movie! :lol: 8-)

    disclaimer; you really have to be half drunk or stoned to really appreciate Monty Python!

    Spent the day yesterday and $850 doing the same Buschmaster.

    Not all hummingbirds fly to South America. Most fly to Central America. Some stay along the Gulf Coast and in the Southwest all winter. While the Eastern US historically had one species, now there are at least two in the South East. :D

    The earth is heavy. (that is because so man Americans are obese, though obviously none on this Forum.)
