And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Mrs. azlib and I went ax throwin' for Valentines Day a couple of years ago, and she loved it so much that I built her a target for our anniversary. I researched the internets for a design that I settled on and used Big Box store pine 2x12s. Of course, it is heavy. However, now that they've dried, the ax just bounces off. I can sorta mitigate this by wetting the target down, but it is still dry and hard. The ax throwin' places wet their wood too, but interestingly, they use cottonwood. azlibertarian
All that and an axe throwing arm 😘

ReplyDeleteYEP! Tough S.O.B.
DeleteIf she didn't have all that ink weighing her arm down, it woulda hit dead center.
ReplyDelete...Depending on what she was aiming for (picture a male human target)...
