time
Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience. Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension, along with the three spatial dimensions.
Time has long been an important subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars. Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems. Two contrasting viewpoints on time divide prominent philosophers. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe—a dimension independent of events, in which events occur in sequence. Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time. The opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of "container" that events and objects "move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part of a fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which humans sequence and compare events. This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, holds that time is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled.
Time in physics is unambiguously operationally defined as "what a clock reads". Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities in both the International System of Units and International System of Quantities. Time is used to define other quantities—such as velocity—so defining time in terms of such quantities would result in circularity of definition. An operational definition of time, wherein one says that observing a certain number of repetitions of one or another standard cyclical event (such as the passage of a free-swinging pendulum) constitutes one standard unit such as the second, is highly useful in the conduct of both advanced experiments and everyday affairs of life. The operational definition leaves aside the question whether there is something called time, apart from the counting activity just mentioned, that flows and that can be measured. Investigations of a single continuum called spacetime bring questions about space into questions about time, questions that have their roots in the works of early students of natural philosophy.
Furthermore, it may be that there is a subjective component to time, but whether or not time itself is "felt", as a sensation, or is a judgment, is a matter of debate.
Temporal measurement has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in navigation and astronomy. Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time. Examples include the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, and the beat of a heart. Currently, the international unit of time, the second, is defined by measuring the electronic transition frequency of caesium atoms (see below). Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human life spans.
My family has some acreage up in the hills East of town. While walking on the lower end of the property last weekend there were many piles of scat littering an overgrown logging road. After comparing to pics online i feel it looks like bear scat to me but I'm not 100% certain so I would...
Have a buddy that use to live in alfalfa and swears by hunting there. I guess it has a large population of upland game and coyotes. Thinking of doing a little yote calling while I'm over there.
I am a sucker for older (not ancient) shotguns, 50-60 year olds that have real wood and bluing. Any action, any caliber. I have enough 12ga shotguns but always see 'good deals' that I have to tell myself I don't need - I just still want it lol.
Sometimes .22lr's as well.
What's your weak point?
Time for dove hunting, I'll post pics of the harvest. Just got the dog back from training and should be an awesome day...
Anyone else hunting the opener?
Wonder when it's time to begin thinning-out gun collection? In my 80's I may need to begin. Here's my 1st to go... I think! Go from Civil War, WWI, and WWII.
I am selling my remington 1903a3. Rifle is in great shape, have tons of pictures if interested. asking $700
call or text if interested 253-359-three zero five five
New handgun coming and I'm low(for me) on ammo. Maybe 400 rounds 9mm. Been putting it off, even bought some slugs, gasp! It's time. 9mm tumble lube, truncated cone. Work well, 4-5 hours and I can fill a 5 quart ice cream bucket.
So, I picked up a used Baretta AL 391 from Cabella's for what I thought was a good price ($1000) considering it included 2 full sets of furniture (fake wood and a black/grey poly set), a 30" and 26" barrel and 6 chokes. it was pretty dirty, but after a good cleaning it was in great shape.
I...
HOW'S THIS FOR NOSTALGIA?
I HAD TO REMOVE A TON OF PICTURES TO GET IT TO POST SORRY
All the girls had gym uniforms?
It took three minutes for the TV to warm up?
ho
Nobody owned a purebred dog?
When a quarter was a decent allowance?
You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny...
The wife and daughter are asking me what I want for Father's Day...
I'm not too hard to please, anything sharp or boomy makes me happy.
We have a little extra over bills this Friday but not gun money.
I'd be fine with nothing but they are pretty insistent and I have to admit I like haveing...
Or give them a piece of your mind. :s0066::s0066::s0066:

Anyways.
Took out the 270 loads and some 06.
Here are couple of pics from the groups that...
You would think from the first two minutes that this oldie would not be very informative -- it starts out explaining the 4 components of a cartridge -- but it's extremely well done and quickly but clearly moves forward. The model starts out as a chamber, a tube, the cartridge, and a guy holding...
Just got back from a Montana trip.
Wanted to show you guys the place. [A friends ranch.]
