Jennifer is home from the hospital. She goes in for therapy every day now. She is able to move her hands and her feet and the doctors say that she will walk again. They also say it will be a "long road." Paco sent this photo to me today and said I could share it. He appreciates everyone who has been...

Yessir! I get to craving it if I am away too long from it.

Jim,

I was reminded of these old photos when we got together in Arkansas a few weeks back.

I ought to dig through some of mine as well.

Buena suerte Amigo,

Scott

It was good to spend a little time with you and your bride!

Good stuff all right, Jim. Do you miss Arizona? Would you ever return to live there? I do miss living in the mountains and deserts of Arizona. Unfortunately I doubt I will return to live there. Age is creeping up on me and realistically I don't know that I could make it in the places that I would w...

Eat right and keep your body moving is all ya need to do.----006 I believe if you move around on your knees you will be fine. I figured that out by going to a restaurant where, if you are seated you don't need a mask, but if you stand up you do. Apparently the virus cannot find you if you are low. ...

Beautiful mare Jim, love the refined pretty shape of the head.

She had a great blood line ... back to Three Bars on the Quarter Horse side ... Native Dancer on the thoroughbred side. She was intelligent and had great stamina. She became a good friend and companion. I miss her.

Update from Jen 10/6/20: Hello Friends, My continued thanks to you all for your prayers, caring and support. I was moved from the trauma unit on Thursday to the rehabilitation unit to focus on strengthening and moving my body. They have me focusing on my arms, hands, legs and feet. They removed the ...

Thank you Andy and everyone. There are some of the books at a reduced price for the next couple days if anyone is interested .. Kindle versions only.

Great video Bryan.
I am guessing you used an empty but primed cartridge? No bullet?
Suggestion, fill the empty case with styrofoam, seat and crimp a bullet in the cartridge, then repeat the test.

Hmm, did he maybe flinch hitting the ground before it hit the target by richoet?

I was just gonna suggest the same thing.
Most likely a ricochet.

The picture almost looks photoshopped.
It would be helpful to know the weight of the bullets fired.

I have done metal detecting for a long time. Not with metal detectors though. I first used my feet. When I was about 10 I discovered a metal pitchfork prong in my grandpa's barn. I was barefoot at the time. Since the pitchfork was used to clean manure from the cow stalls I ended up getting a tetanus...

I was tracking with you until: Folks understand that service by a professional is needed for autos. Why wouldn’t they understand the same for firearms? As I read that I thought, autos are firearms! It took me a bit to connect "mobiles" with "auto" ... Sorry ... my slow brain .. fixated on firearms. ...

Paco's oldest daughter, Jennifer Kelly, had a serious horse riding accident last Sunday morning. Jen was riding with her trainer on one of his horses Sunday morning in preparation for a camping trip. On the trail, they came to a hill, the horse started to gallop, lurched and bucked her off. We belie...

Sounds interesting, I like non fiction about long gone times and places. 8) If you have not read it, "IN AFRICA, Hunting Adventures in the Big Game Country" by John T. McCutcheon.

The police in the UK stopped issuing any new shotgun or firearm licenses at the start of the lockdown so only those of us that already have guns can buy ammo. The reason the police gave for this was that new applicants have to have a home visit from a Firearms officer, a no can do apparently in a l...

Visited the local gun shop today. They have been selling guns like crazy but still have maintained a nice stock of rifles, handguns and shotguns. There is a fast turnover. I put 26 guns on consignment for a friend in August and they were all sold within two weeks. They have a pretty good choice of a...

One upon a time I shot that revolver exactly five times at the steel plate at the far left of the field at what was said to be 75 yards. Didn't hit it at all. Not even sure how close i got. Mister Quinn shot it once and rang the plate. I believe you had it loaded with the traditional hollow bullet....

Growing up in the West I learned to hunt on foot. Some call it "stalking" and while it may truly be that, it was hunting on foot. I knew nothing about climbing a tree to sit on stand all day. Or getting into a cabin on stilts and sipping coffee while waiting for game to wander by. We hunted by going...
