See you next week. be good.

I'm of the same mind. I figure puttinga light on a pistol just gives a low life something to aim at in the dark. I prefer luminous 3-dot sights. re: another post here about the muzzle flash on your 7mm-08 hunting pistol when using factory ammo. Have you found a good fast burning powder for your reloads which minimizes the flash? just curious?

This sounds like an issue with your isp. I'll bet someone there is resetting a piece of gear or reloading something. I quit using my isp's dns server because they were always messing with it. I am using Amazon's dns servers now and quit having similar problems to what you describe.

Frequently there will be tshirts made for rallys or maintenance day, and there will be extras for those who may not attend but still want the shirt.

yes. this. I remember hearing about the problem mounting rifle scopes on air rifles a long time ago

I use an air rifle when I want cheap shooting in the backyard. I have a steel air rifle trap set up on the railing of the wood deck behind my house. I just slide open the double glass doors from my dining area to the deck, and shoot away.

The black elongated spoons with the white wavy stripes are Daredevils. Looks like the treble hooks on them have been removed. I've caught many a northern pike with those. They are still made.

My stepdad used to lie to me about the old cars he drove in Mich. He said the holes in the floor were so we could all drag our feet when the car started slipping on the ice !

I have shot guns and hunted since I was a teenager. I was a range officer and instructor while in the Army. I shot high power rifle at the US national matches for several years, and was a range official for Georga State Games several years. I'm a gun collector and amateur historian. About 1980 or so, I was reading a gun publication and it had a lengthy article on the Mauser broomhandle pistol and I be came interested in it. I'd never been to a gunshow before, but a fellow hunter told me about a gunshow that weekend that was right on the way back home from the hunting cabin we rented. I stopped at the gun show and found a Mauser broomhandle that was in fair condition (shooter grade) but the seller wanted more money for it than I thought it was worth having just read about the pistol. I tried to bargain the broomhandle's seller down in price but he wouldn't budge, finally saying that there was another gun at the show he wanted and needed that money to buy what he wanted. So, he said, "I'll throw in this other pistol at that price". The 'other' pistol was an Austrian Steyr Hahn pistol in an unusual caliber 9x23 Steyr-Hahn. I said that I'd think about it and walked around the gun show a while. I'd been skiiing in Austria the previous winter so had that link on my mind. I'd never heard of the Steyr-Hahn pistol before. I found some of the 9x23 ammo for the gun at the gun show, and decided to go back and get the 2-fer deal pistols. A couple of weeks later I went hunting to another spot I used to hunt before leasing the cabin, and as I was driving to the spot saw a sign at a fire station about there being a gunshow that weekend. So when I took a lunch break from hunting, I stopped by that gun show. There was another one of the steyr-hahn pistols there in almost new condition at a very nice price.... so I bought it. Now I had 2 of them. This was pre-internet, none of my gun books had any info on Steyr pistols, so I began a quest to learn about that gun. Eventually I found some articles on the Steyr-Hahn pistols. I had already become somewhat interested in Austrian history as a result of my ski trips there and visits to a couple museums. Well, within the year I found that I owned 5 of the Steyr-hahn pistols and had become a regular at the local gun-shows. I obtained a Federal Firearms Curio and Relics license so I could travel out of state and purchase 'collectible' guns. I had become hooked on the history of the Steyr pistols and Austrian militaria. I was (and still am) a member of several large collector clubs. Over the years I've contributed to several publications about firearms (in my very narrow field of interest). I've had a web page about the steyr pistols since the introduction of the internet (early 90's). here's my web page ttp://randyrick.us/AustrianFirearms/collect.htm I write all this in response to the question about why some people collect guns.

hopefully a few ibuprofen and a couple days rest is all it takes to make it better.

oh no.... don't look...

I'd just buy an electric heater for an area like this, unless you want it for emergency heat also. Then no worries about CO gas poisoning. For fuel based heaters I like the small reflector-type kerosene heaters.

I call that gun control !

Daddy, what did you do in the War? I threatened to play my trombone. When the enemy heard that, they immediately gave up. btw. good video and great music.

This has been coming for a long time. If any of you are trully interested in how many of the financial investment/regulatory 'leaders' operate/think, you should read the book Megatrends. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Naisbitt Megatrends (1982) was on the NY Times bestseller list for 2 years. It outlines the future where masses of money and market manipulation are more important than manufacturing (and science and engineering). Its the bible of the leveraged buyout and consolidation of the financial services industries. I read the book then. It made me scared. We're living it today.

80% of the cost of everthing we use/buy/consume goes to paper shufflers, money manipulators, influencer/marketing, and political action groups. Maybe 5% on the average goes to stock holders, and most of that 5% is really inflation. Investment banks, brokers, and capitol buyout firms run prices up and down and take 10% everytime a dollar goes thru their system. They sell to each other at inflated prices and take tax writeoffs on everything. And pay themselves big bucks irrespective of the little investor 99% of the time. Every once in a while an individual investor makes a 'killing' in the stock market. Then again, every once in awhile someone wins a big lottery or pulls the handle just right on a Las Vegas slot machine. It always makes the news. Consider this. WWII economy in the USA. A large portion of the (then) traditional workforce was placed in the military and outside of the production effort. Prices and availability were managed (ask grandma about ration stamps), to a large extent housing was managed in city areas with manufacturing. But no one went hungary. Unskilled workers were housed, fed, and TRAINED quickly. New manufacturing facilities were put up in months, not years. Profits were controlled, but there were still millionaires being made. etc etc Everyone pulled together and the war effort gave us common goals (other than who can make the most money). More food for thought. When Mercedes bought into Chrysler (no too many years ago) Chrysler was losing lots of money. Mercedes fired the top 50 managers at Chrysler. The loses exactly equalled the salaries plus perks of the top 50 managers, even when the company was going bankrupt.

Thats cause when y'all yell at Paw to come home fer dinner, he may be fishn and pretend not to hear ya. Leading to hollerin' being an imprecise science.

aBout 2 hollers that-a-way///

I'll dig out my kit and get back to you. I do ask that any shims under 2.70 be replaced, others can be swapped for.

If there was a way to id who did the switch, or it was a recent purchase, I'd push Walmart. But not for an item bought over a year ago. The Walmart here is fairly clean and well run and I probably do 60% of all my shopping there. This is a small town at the end of the road, and Walmart coming here brought down the prices and increased the selection of most consumer goods, a lot. I always see someone I know when I shop there. When I had to commute 40 miles to work, stopping at a mall along the highway wasn't a big deal. But now that I'm retired and not logging that 80 mile round trip 5 times a week, having the Walmart 5 minutes from my house is a real convenience. There are a couple auto-parts stores I do business with. I'll also add that the local Walmart and its employees are regular contributers to many local charitable causes, so its been a win for me and many others to have Walmart here.

Time for my end-of-year oil and filter change in my 2005 Mercury Marquis, 99,xxx miles. I drive the car less than 10,000 miles a year, and have gotten in the mode for several years of changing the oil towards the end of year. I use Mobil 1 high mileage synthetic, and the best filter I can find (at Walmart) which has been the 15,000 mile Fram Ultra (nice rubberized grip on the cap). I bought 3 of these $10 filters last year because they were on sale. I just grabbed one of the 2 remaining filters, walked to my car and opened it up, to find a 'Purolator Classic' $3.00 filter in the box. Ha ha. someone got a better price last year than I did !! I suspect Walmart won't want it back in exchange for the right filter. ya think? I quickly checked the remaining filter, and it was the Fram Ultra, so I'm good to go for now. Note to self. Be sure to check Walmart merch closely before heading to the checkout.

A couple of thoughts here. Many companies only ship to the bill-to address. The company you wanted to buy from -may- be under a court order or other US gov't agency agreement not to ship to anyone ordering with a foreign address/US delivery after being involved in some kind of potential legal action involving selling arms/arms-related items to a sanctioned illegal buyer. So you may be caught up in a -ANY- agreement the company has agreed to, to avoid litigation.
