Looks like your friend travelled up my way.  Perhaps Purple Patrick, PizzaBob, Golf or I can get a picture for you.

Oh gawd... btw, Tyler ain’t nowhere near that area.

Gotta go with fishnut on this.  I'm no wildlife expert, but that looks a lot like a bobcat to me.  

That in the northeastern subspecies of mountain lion has been extinct for years

Probability it’s a bob cat. They are probably in every county.
But lots of people claim they’ve seen mountain lions. I was having beers a few weeks back with the Gibbstown cop that saw one and he still swears it

Funny how the power of suggestion can play with your head. I let the dog out (into our fenced yard) last night prior to turning in. The yard backs on woods and I always sweep the fence line with my led Mag lite as the dog goes down the stairs from the deck to the yard. Last night when I swept the fence, there was a pair of eyes looking back at me. Too small and close together for a deer. The dog went over to the fence but didn't go nuts and eventually came back in.

A great end to this story would be if I spotted the whatever cat, but no such luck. As I was reading in bed, the source of the eyes was made known to me when a fox started screeching. Maybe next time - we do have fisher cats in the area though.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

LMAO. So true. Years ago my wife and I were traveling around Colorado springs. The day before we were hiking and passed several warning signs that there were mountian lions in the area and what to do if you encountered them. The next day we were driving when all of the sudden my wife yelled that she saw a mountian lion laying in between some small pine trees on the side of the road. I have never seen one in the wild so I whipped the truck around and flew back to where she saw it. She was partially correct, she did see a large cat but it was a maine coon cat. Lol

Obviously not a bobcat and unless it's a dwarf it's not a mountain lion either.

Probably another maine coon cat. I don't think my wife was in Ewing recently but I'll ask just to bust her chops.

Yeah Bob.  Fischer cats.  Freaked me out.  If youve ever heard them. I grew up about 2 straight miles from bobs house when i was a kid.  Those things sound like a child was being dissembowld. Sp?   Look them up.  Its friggin cool.  Theyre out there but just as elusive as the jersey devil or bigfoot.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
