    Probably not worth the paper it is written on.

    One could also mention the so called Monroe doctrine of 1823, where the Americans would remain neutral on European politics and respect established colonies.

    Interesting commentary however, he failed to mention their were others in history interested in buying it as well.....It all seems very complicated to me but, who knows.
    I would certainly not want Russia or China to take it over?

    No People like that we should at least keep at ATACMS length, but i think they are on their way out as i type, the worlds #2 military clearly not doing too well ATM.
    And i am pretty sure if China tried something similar we would soon learn that they are just as inept in the ways of war,,,,,, even if killing a lot of people are not terrible hard even with conventional means.

    I am mainly concerned with the fallout of these two colossus on clay feet when they fall, CUZ when the poop hit the fan everyone come running to the west us and you guys.

    As i recall during WW2 there was both Germans / Americans and British on Greenland, mostly metrologists, not like there was much of a hidden war going on up there.
    And more or less since then we Danes had people run around up there feet on ice so to say summer and winter to prove our claim, other just pop up a conning tower of a sub, look around and go hell no and leave again.
    You should look up the Sirius patrol, these are the guys that make a winter warfare course in Norway look like a walk in a park during summer.

    BTW i have been up there, seen the northern light explode over my head and just gone Duuuuuuuuude
    Had a couple of gigs with Royal arctic line that sail everything up there that they can not make them self, so quite a bit.
    These ships sail out of the Danish Town of Aalborg, also some times make a swing past faro islands and iceland CUZ we are nice folks and would not like to see other nice folks want anything.

    #2 time i sailed as engineer was also up there on a crab factory ship, though i was shanghaied came up there as sailor and was promoted to engineer in a few weeks,

    Lovely place, but the guys, lets just say pay day, and you will not see the locals before every dime is used, though before i came up there a guy got back on the ship with money in the pocket, so same night he stole the man overboard boat and sailed down the coast to a place where he could drink the last of his money up.
    Police found him after a few days.
    A excellent prank to pull at some urinals.
    Of course even if you can muster such forceful stream i advise to use water in a squees bottle.

    But anyone " occupied " at the urinal probably be very freaked having a that big caliber discharger right behind them.

    I am thinking in these days of not hot enough

    As the little oven have a hard time pumping up the volume,,,,, sorry heat in the shot shed.

    Maybe upgrade to a proper oven, and instead of piping strait out the back of the shed, go up and out the roof with the not insulated chimney pipe.

    Americans will do any format but metric.

    Americans are just stubborn is all… brash, bold, stubborn, often wrong, but mostly good hearted people. Simply striving to live up to an idea in our everyday, dichotomous lives…🙏
    Peashooter
    I have always said Americans are crazy.
    BUT My kind of crazy, so i would not have it any other way.

    There are still things we will have to negotiate / re evaluate if / when i get to be the dictator here, but we will deal with that by then.
    Not licenced construction going on in my friends fields, these little bastards though, experts in trench warfare, so make it hard for the lone sniper.

    Making my point on a gas tank nozzle at 60 M ( zeroed for 55 )

    I visited the local store Gunpit on Friday, and got to handle various daystate - brocok - RTI and FX rifles.
    I dunno what happened but all of the rifles felt quite small and fragile, well compared to my old Maverick and not least my Two which is like a sledgehammer in comparison with those little bulpup rifles.
    BRK ghost felt fine though, Smol but fine, still like to get me some trigger time on one.

    Also my M8 i brought along, well it seem the FX rifle ( Panthera ) he like / dislike in pictures, well hands on he is now sure that will be just fine for him, the big question is where to find the substantial amount of money for it.
    In all fairness it do not take my M8 much work to dislike just about anything.

    Was the Ghost the only BRK you handled? Because the Atomic is just as solid. In fact, the entire lineup is solid. Each as good as the others… I’ve owned five different models, still own three…🙏
    Peashooter
    Yeah LLeon the store do not have the Atomic, dont think he ever carried it.
    The ghost HP is also the only ghost version in store it would seem from their webpage.

    It is not like the guns felt bad, just strangely small - light and delicate, well compared to what i got / have tried.
    The feeling was the same with the M4, and the RTI P3 was like OMG its so small and delicate.

    On a side note my friend, shopping in another EU country he can get the Panthera 2000 Dkkr / 282 USD cheaper
    It is range time !!!

    Or that is, first it is buy and put EHD tarp on roof of shot shed time, CUZ the damn thing is taking in water.
    And as it is also electrified mow ( mains and USB power ) well we cant have that.
    But by noon i think we will be back up and running, which give me 4 hours to play with stuff ( ammo ) before it get dark

    On the good side i found the tarp in a place we know well ( have driven 4x4 RC truck competitions there )
    So the route is well known.
    I only driven there 1 time, and took the #2 spot after my M8, but we also have about a decade head start on most other people there.
    As a bonus the route go past the Town of Herning where the airgun store Gunpit is located, so i figure bring my M8 and let him see some of the real stuff, maybe that can prompt him to sell of some of the surplus stuff he have and buy a expensive rifle VS the Chinese stuff he have.

    It should not take much more than a hour to put the new Extreme Heavy Duty tarp on the roof of the shed, it is almost 4 X heavier than the tarp that is there already, so this one i am fairly confident will last a while at least.

    Bringing my pesting / Digi rifle, CUZ i want to dial it in for Hades pellets, maybe even try a little 13 grain slugs in it too which is my #2 alternative ammo now that 10 grain KO MK3 slugs will not work, but i know 13 gr Zans have worked in my 700 mm barrel so it should work in the 600 mm one too.

    And good timing, today is just drizzle, tomorrow is all day rain it seem according to the unreliable weather gurus working on my tax dime.

    06:25 in the morning now and i have been up since 05:30, and most surprising i have slept too, which sadly is unusual,
    Factory open at 7 and it is a 1.5 hour drive there

    For sure i will not last till way past midnight waiting for rats to take the bait.

    Also my M8 gotten a new spotting scope, 80 X magnification, so will see little 4.5 mm holes in the far end of the field, came with little tripod and phone holder so we dont have to lean over to see where the shots land.

    PS: The new foot on my CF tank, Daum :eek: that was hard guiding into the range bag, but it is in there alright but i fear if it have to come out i will have to cut apart the range bag,,,,, so lucky it is cheap.
    Not that i am paranoid.
    But it warm my heart "The Big Stick" will be cruising the North sea, probably the area of what was the greatest ever Naval battle ever ( Battle of Jutland )
    Also the old Red & white look mighty fine up there in the mast.

    big stick.jpg

    Of other naval curiosities i think Denmark was the target of the very first air attack on land launched off a carrier, during WW1 when the British bombed a zeppelin airfield near the now Danish town of Esbjerg ( back then it was part of Denmark Germans took in 1864 )

    Also i think Denmark / our capitol might also have been the first town in the world to be attacked by Naval missile attack,,,,, again those Damn British.

    The Iowa is in the North Sea? o_O
    Peashooter
    Dont they also call USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier the big stick too ?
    I for sure would not like to get smacked by it 😁

    Knew about the Iowa for sure, my friend have a RC model of USS Missouri BB63 in 1:128 scale,,,,, so for a RC boat,,,, well it take 2 guys to move it around.
    If you have been a naughty boy.
    Santa still have something for you.

    I bet you never expected to see camel toe on this forum and the post not getting deleted by admins.

    I have flown around the world a few times, never seen this, if i did i would get off immediately no matter the altitude.

    Another good day in the shed, during the daytime shooting i only had the finger heater going.

    Bench + finger heater.jpg

    But at 4 in the afternoon i had to start the oven up, and it then burned until 4 in the morning.
    I have now choked off the oven, so it now burn wood at a more moderate pace.

    Shot shed warming up.

    shed warm up.jpg

    In pic, big ass IR illuminator, my friend need this for ancient night device.
    Wheel barrow, it is there for a reason, it is the sit inside in house / see rats on CCTV /grab rifle and run outside improvised tripod.

    We also tried to run the diesel heater at the same time, but the 3M long exhaust we have on it make it soot up and stop, so a new shorter exhaust will have to be whipped up.
    While it did run though, the temperature was kicked up another 4 deg C to 24 which for me is nice.
    A minus though all day was the wind was in the face and so also coming in the open shudders, fortunately fairly moderate but you could feel it in the gusts.
    Clearly we have to do something about the openings, we are loosing too much heat that way, but we are working on some ideas, yesterday i just propped up some stuff to half the opening size.

    While waiting for rat / mouse season to start up later in the evening, i made a little " Hygge " timelapse in the shed.


    Later on my scope watch i heard i high pitched voice, and it was mocking me. :mad:
    That kind of behaviour we do not take kindly to.
    So spotting Micky at 30 M distance giving me the stink eye and flipping me off,,,,,, i turned his head into a canoe, CUZ we have none of that on my watch / on my friends property.
    10 gr JSB KO MK3 at 977 fps.


    dead Mickey.jpg
    Had to shuffle around my ammo due to load bearing concerns, the .177 use to be in the same place as .22, but i dont think that is healthy for the kitchen cabinet, so have moved the .177 collection to a place of its own.

    Okay there are also 10 grain JSB KO MK3 slugs in here, and a range tin of 24 and 20 grain Zan slugs, but otherwise it is mainly pellets.
    The collection of Zan slugs mainly 16 and 13 grain so far live in cardboard boxes in the living room.
    CUZ by far i shoot the most slugs, pellets is just playtime for me.

    The MK3 slugs, well now that i have a DN scope i will try to get some permissions to smack rats. And my plan is to use those for that so i dont risk making too many holes in peoples stuff, CUZ that would be uncool.

    4.5 pellets.jpg
    Well well well it seem like someone at Danish customs have finally realized their mistake, also just took them 18 days to do so.
    So i recon tomorrow i can pick up 2 parcels of ammo, which mean that on JTS 10.4 grain pellets and 10 grain ko MK3 slugs i will be well supplied.
    Note to self need to find another place for .177 pellet collection, i dont think kitchen cupboard can carry much more weight .

    As a side note my friend report that the rat action are back in the field, and we have agreed to bait them a second place a little behind the other place.

    CCTV on feedspot #1.
    2 rats waiting to get dropped,,,,,, Friday evening.

    Danish sharp shooter Rikke Mæng Ibsen was triumphant in India in the 50 M / 3 positions discipline world cup final.
    Runner up a Norwegian girl and the 3 spot was taken by a Chinese shooter.
    The winning score was 466,2, i assume out of a 500 MAX ???

    Rikke pretty happy having only manage a 14 spot at the Olympics.

    Rikke is shooting a Walther LG500.

    There are also Danish participation in the 2 Skeet finals on Thursday.
    Oneleaf NV500, shooting 13 grain Zan 75 M with a Epic Two with mountain range shaped shoestring, and still NO problem.

    Yes i am holding here, at this time i was dialed in for 55 M. 30 M - 80 M and 93 M distances was also satisfying.
