    We have put a severe dent in the pest populations at my friends place, we have not seen a rat in over a month, and mind you my friend have a CCTV camera on the bait all the time.
    Mice also only come one at the time, and their luck my friends ancient NV scope are mot made for seeing so small animals at 25 M distance.

    I was dialed in just fine, but then come mouse and i was like 20 mm off to the left, fortunately the mouse was pointing Right, and i was going for a head shot, but just made a center mass hit, that did made it keel over, my friend finished it off by shooting blind CUZ he cant really see it.

    This MIGHT be worth following. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype.

    I wonder if they're at SHOT show this week?

    Getting set up for the weekend, it is impressive how much charging i have to do even if i dont shoot a Daystate digi gun.
    Charging two 18650 batteries for IR light and UV light - Charging AAA batteries for chronograph - Charging Sekmet gauge on rifle, and finally also charging the NV 500 scope just in case.

    Trump card on the Charging front though is charging my new power bank with the new wall charger.
    Those 27.000 MAH are soon charged.

    Not that it is very much needed these short cold days, but come summer the need will very much be there, CUZ i can shoot all day.

    I have learned the NV500 scope it will not charge on any of the two USB C ports, but the one flashlight i have tried on there was fine, phones will also charge on there just fine but my old phone only take 20 Watts tops, and this brick can deliver 140 watts X 2.
    Everything charge on the one USB A port.

    Now i just need to restock the ammo, CUZ even if Saturday will probably be all firewood work and target assembly and setup, maybe try and choke the oven a bit more on the " air intake ", as it is still eating firewood pretty fast.
    Then Sunday and a lot better weather, lead is going to fly.

    Just finished watching a 2 year old 3 part DOKU on the life of Abraham Lincoln.

    It was nice to learn a bit more about a person i largely only knew by name, and of course a few scattered hall mark events.
    Also a remider of the Danes history which in the same years suffered a great setback by the hands of those pesky Germans when they took a huge chunk out of the southern part of our nation.

    So back then the Americans win the south, Danes lost the south, though after ww1 we did get a little back, though we was offered it all.

    President Lincoln was our greatest President… He presided over the nation when Americans were literally “killing“ fellow Americans… Our nations darkess moment… None of the present day political vitriol approaches the discord and death that occur during the American Civil War…🙏

    Yeah Abe seem like tough act to follow.
    I think Denmark had some nice kings, and some really - really poor ones, at one time the entire country minus a town or two was pawned away.
    And the country also was a lot larger.

    I dont think we ever had a truly great leader after the abolishment of the monarchy here

    Okay i am officially totally bummed out.
    Went to my stoprage today to grab a few CDs to compile some more MP3 mix tapes for the car, and to my out right horror and disbelief i found out that my CD collection is all but a fraction of the vinyl collection i in my almighty youthful stupidity sold ( many 100 kilos of vinyl )

    So pretty much all the old stuff with scorpions / Judas priest and many other i never required on CD,,,,,,
    So right now i sit here in front of the computer on youtube listening to Judas priest 1976 album Sad wings of destiny and feel pretty sad.
    And a credit card in my back pocket that is just itching to be used,,,,, and i do think i will have to cave in.
    Not least as right now The ripper started to play and my head start to go back and forth with the hair that is only .177 long so no shaking of that.

    I can not believe i have diluted myself for so many decades 😟

    On the + side, i can still air drum to all of those tracks we played in the youth centers music room in the early 80ties.

    Thats not bad, even if i am just interested in the old stuff, though some of the new also work for me.

    I am sin after sin now and Jawbreaker,,,,,, OMG i have lost many liters of sweat behind the drums playing that one.

    If you are finding them on YouTube and are handy with Google, you can search for programs that will rip audio from a YouTube video and then burn what you like. I cant speak to the 'ethics' or legality of such, and nor will I confirm or deny that I have done that.... but if I had, I'm sure it was very easy to do and a great way to expand your collection.

    If only my night vision camera supported fast charge, CUZ then with new stuff i would be able to charge it in ( /me snap fingers )

    165 watts in the charger, but cable only support 140 watts.

    charge.jpg

    But at least when my new power bank arrive ( +27.000 mah just enough for TSA to allow it on planes )
    Well i can charge that fast too, and if not in the car it do also come with a 165 watts gan wall charger

    240 watt total discharge available on power bank ( 2 X USB C and 1 X USB A ), sadly my " old " laptop do not support USB charging it need a stupid old school barrel plug to be charged.

    PS. In a long summer days worth of shooting, lets just say my phone do not have very much juice left in the end of one of those days if the chrono have been in use all day, even if 100 % charged when i start slinging lead.
    But that is no longer a problem 😁

    I tested my phone on the charger, it is a old snapdragon 8 phone ( xiaomi MI9 ) and in MAX turbo charge mode it peaked at 20 watts :ROFLMAO:

    If i am not mistaken current high end phones will charge wireless at 50 watts, and i assume about 100 watts on a wire.

    Fortunately due to my intense phone hate i do not use / need fast charge, i normally charge on a 2 A charger in the car

    It is funny how things work in other places.
    Take for instance this tracking update on a parcel from China.

    International flight has arrived

    Jan 12 2025 07:06 am

    · Padborg, Capital Region of Denmark, DK "

    I very much doubt that a international flight arrived in Padborg, CUZ while there is a airport there, also one of the 3 "race tracks" we have in Denmark.
    Then the runway is just 1000 M long and i sure as hell never heard of any Dane going on holiday on a plane from Padborg.

    Second. " Capital region of Denmark "
    Padborg is on the Danish / German border in the Jutland part of the country ( that be the sane part of Denmark )
    And it is just about as far from our vile capitol as you can get 225 KM as the crow fly or 325 Km if you want to drive between the 2 places ( mainly the E 45 and E20 motorways )

    Very unusual i went to bed early, and fell asleep in only 2 hours, resulting me getting out of bed at 4 AM
    So had some time to kill before i grabbed my gear and headed for the shot shed.
    Being the smart guy i am i TXTed my M8 saying i was leaving home soon, and so when i arrived at his place 50 minutes later, the diesel heater was humming in the shed, which was nice CUZ just below freezing.

    I then got a shock opening the door to the shed, CUZ most of the floor was filled with firewood, so we had to sort and stack that before there was room at the 2 benches, so we did, and also cranked up the wood burning oven.

    So today’s session was a bliss and great fun was had dispatching the 400 13 grain slugs i had brought with me.
    A little windy though so at 125 yards some times a pellet would land 4-5 inches from your aim point, but other times,,,, bang on. 🎯 amd ,most often acceptable inaccuracy.

    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 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 )
