just can’t make this kinda stuff up

Daughters travel team Vball started the season today, so tonight we were in the stands watching and noticed court next to us came to a stop, some commotion, that naturally caught everybody’s attention. Our team was in a time out so that whole side of the gym was watching to figure out what was going on next door.

That other teams coach ran to the stands and asked if any ladies happened to have a tampon they could use…okay, now everybody is watching because, wtf??!! Lol. So gal throws out a tampon, coach pops out the cotton on the run back to her teams huddle on court and then you saw a girl with a profusely bloody nose that won’t stop, coach starts jamming the tampon cotton up the girls nostril…okay, blood stopped.

Team breaks to begin play and here’s this girl with a tampon stuffed nostril running to her position….with the Damn string swaying back and forth hanging down muhahahaha. Thankfully somebody produced a small set of scissors and coach ran on court and cut the string so she didn’t look so god awful peculiar lol.

It was a much needed laugh break for the hundreds of people and players during tense play, and thankfully the girl took it in stride and had a laugh too at the strangness of the situation, but was able to finish the game. Then poor kid ended up being carried off court about 7:15, she musta rolled her ankle good so that was the end of her play.

Shakedown

Took my son and the quad up to the farm last weekend to give it a run after the rebuild.

Aratula Roadhouse is the last service station before driving up the range.

Once up on the downs we took a short stop at Dalveen before heading to Glen Aplin.

I gave the quad a good run over a couple of days in and around the area and happy to report that there were no issues. It just did what it was supposed to do 🙂

Xan probably spent just as much time shooting with my cousin as I spent out on the trails 😉

This seems fishy

Hi guys/gals.

I think that this ad for a 99 Honda fourtrax 300 4×4 is a scam. I have talked to the seller and they will not tell me where the bike is and supposedly its a widow woman and she knows nothing other than it was her late husbands bike. This is a copy of a email.

‘As I told you in my first email, got a new job and moved to another city. Before leaving I had prearranged the deal with eBay Motors so my presence isn’t necessary. They will not give me any money until you receive and test the quad. The quad is at the shipping company, ready to be delivered. The shipping cost is included in the total price of the quad. You have 5 days to test it and inspect the quad.
So if you want to make this deal I need the following details from you full name, shipping address and phone number.After I will have all this details I will forward them to eBay Motors and I will proceed the order. They will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that I am covered by them and that I am legit seller.
Waiting your email with the requested details

Here is the ad

I have heard this exact same thing when talking to people about boats so I figured this is a bs.

So I figured I would warn you guys and also se if you think this is bull or not.

frontend measurements

Getting ready for purchase of my 2016 Rancher. Need to put build a block in the front of my truck bed so Rancher doesn’t hit there. What is the center of front right tire to center of front left tire measurement? Also, if you put the front end of ATV against a wall, how far back is the front of the front tire from the wall ? Usually the winch is the problem, but the winch on the Rancher doesn’t appear to extend beyond the front of the ATV.

Trigger pull

Hey everyone. I learned an important lesson the other day about how important a smooth and light trigger pull is on a pistol. Several friends were at my house and we were riding then then we pulled out all our guns for some target practice. Shot guns, pistols and rifles of all sorts. I asked a friend who is an excellant shot to shoot my 9mm because I shoot to the right no matter how hard I try not to. He shot several rounds and finally shot a bulls eye. I shot and sure enough I shot all over the place. He said " here shoot my Glock" bam …bulls eye on my 1st shot! Prob luck but the point is his trigger pull was super smooth which made a regular shot like myself able to shoot well!
