On ammo getting wet, I had an open container with about 500 rounds of .22 accidentally left in pouring rain and the damn thing just filled up with water completely. Ammo was submerged probably 3-4 hours until I noticed. After I let it dry for a few weeks I tried some of the ammo and had a string of duds. Needless to say that just sucked.
I was just going to toss the whole mess but I figured I had nothing to lose so the next day we had a really hot no clouds sunny day so I spread all the rounds on a towel in my backyard out in the direct sun on the concrete patio early in the morning and let them sit outside all day. They were so hot you could barely touch them when I went to pick them up in the late afternoon.
Went back to the range next day and every round went bang. Now I would not do this with carry ammo, just recounting my experience in case itāll help anyone.
I put a rainbow bumper sticker that said āHonk if youāre proudā on my buddyās car after he played a prank on me. Does that count?
BTW took him 2 weeks to notice and he walks into my office, just stares at me, said āI was giving the finger to people a few times a day every day and wondering why so many people were honking at meā¦ā
Nope. Doesnāt count. Wounds of that type must be self-inflicted. Good trick, though. I have a neighbor that has one but I think he applied it himself. Nice guy, no problems. Beyond that, none of my business.
Oh I have zero issues with anyones sex preferences. I have several gay friends and family members and I love them all. This was just done in fun and as payback, and he never pranked me again.
Itās a good thing when lessons are assimilated with only one application. I think Iād keep an eye on my bumpers for a while. 2 old sayings come to mind: 1) Turn about is fair play and 2) Donāt get mad, get even. ( all in good fun, of course
LOL. My wife always lets me do all the backing, docking and loading/unloading. Iām pretty OCD, and I have all my routines, and Iām fine tiwh that. Been launching and retrieving solo for years.
I had a 2WD 1987 3 speed manual F150 once in Buffalo. What a joke for traction!! It also had an open rear end. My buddy would say it could get stuck on a blob of snot. No joke. I put snow tires on and a few hundred pounds of sand bags in the bed for winter and it was passable. After about three winters I jumped on the chance for an 84 F250 4x4. Great truck. It could go absolutely anywhere. From then on, 4X4-only for every truck Iāve owned. The local sheriff lost a truck a few years back on my regular ramp. Got too far below the slime line with a 2WD truck and in she went.
Iāve always been paranoid of losing my truck at the ramp. I crank the wheel hard to lock toward the dock or closest side of the ramp after I set the brake and before I get out. I also keep the window down, door open and engine running the whole time, so I can jump back in if things go south while Iām working the winch. Oh, and 4 low every time.
God forbid any of us end up on one if those YouTube channels for boat ramp fails
That was my last 2 wheel drive tow vehicle as well, although I have been using all-wheel-drive SUV for the last 10 years with no issues. I tore up a cast net at my current ramp not knowing a vehicle had gone down the ramp and had not been retrieved yet because the current had taken around the backside of the dock leaving the ramp clear. No one had figured out how to get to it. I think they pulled it with a crane if I remember right.
SO, as you can see, Will_B eats peppers (habanero and hotter) 
He is already an Amexicano!
