Though not recent, this is by far my favorite sunset picture.

There are several phone apps I've found useful. ISS Spotter shows when it will be passing overhead and lets you set alarms. NextSpaceFlight shows when launches will occur and again lets you alarms. SkyView can identify all of the "satellites", including all of the junk floating around up t...

Did I ever tell the story of my wife trying to kiss one. She really should wear her glasses all of the time.

A few of days ago.

Just wondering if there were any other sky watchers among the group. Just watched the ISS go over. Quite bright and watched it from over the Pacific Ocean to the Four Corners.

I'm also in a great position to watch a lot of the Vandenberg launches.

I feel like a slacker. I only load the 45-70, 30-30 and 30-06. Although I have loaded some 30-03 for a friend a few times. The 30-03 is pretty hard to find. Harder to find are rifles like his, an unmodified 1903 Springfield.

My first deer was taken with a .243. It's a family rifle and now in the hands of my nephew for his kids to use. Very capable cartridge, less recoil than a .270 and you already have a .270.

Bill did he fly the Piper L-4 or the Stinson L-5? Those guys saved a lot of wounded guys lives. They set the stage for air evac during Korea and Viet Nam. They could only get out one at a time, but they made sortie after sortie, often into enemy held territory. They landed at hand cleared "stri...

Trust me, we wouldn't want you here. We have enough issues as it is. In fact we are so aware of our issues we don't need outsiders commenting on them.

Frankly I think the homeowner just wants attention. The bear is coming out nightly. After it does, get a bunch of folks to make noise as they block the hole. When the bear finds the entrance blocked, and too much noise and distraction to work on getting it open (though done properly he won't be able...

I pretty much always have a "small" gun in addition to my regular carry. Most often it is https://i.imgur.com/vthFbdJ.jpeg Sometimes when my wife isn't carrying it as her backup https://i.imgur.com/nLp0gBe.jpeg And for any sweaty or beach/salt water fishing https://i.imgur.com/zAst0jI.jpeg

I only own one .308. I grew up with the 06 and for a go to bolt gun it will be a leftie 700. That said, I use a 7.62 NATO for a bit and found it both accurate, and more importantly, reliable. That was an M-14. And while I have a Garand the 06 just really isn't suited, for me, for a semi auto. Hence ...

Can't get to my door without me letting you through the gate. But I do have a door bell out there for folks that want admittance. If I do let you up to the door, you can rest assured I'm reasonably prepared for any eventuality.

The little hole in the back of glock grips is a lanyard hole.

As far as actually strapped on. A few times but that was fifty odd years ago. I suppose if one spent a lot of time in big bear country it might make some sense. But darned that would be awfully uncomfortable.

Merry Christmas all.

I'm not much a fan of pistol caliber long guns. I figure if you're going to carry a rifle, carry a rifle. Still quite a attractive piece.

After decades of working with my hand and being exposed to all sorts of nasty stuff, not to mention injuries, I have no fingerprints. And that's not me talking.

Sorry, I can't get past his five minutes or so of telling me why he's the most expert of experts.

As tactical as I'll go.

If I feel I need something more in the line of a combat arm.

45-70 and 7.62. Both actual rifle rounds.

Did he seriously toss that rifle down on the bench? I know it's ugly and "tactical", but come on throwing firearms down?

The one thing that Reagan did, as California Governor, that set the stage for out homeless problem was to shut down a lot of the inpatient psych facilities.

Not wanting to deal with the state and it's laws, I sent my AR-15 to live in another state. In fact, I don't have anything in this state that even remotely resembles a dreaded "assault rifle". OOPS! I lied, I do have a .22 rimfire AR-alike. But in their wisdom the state doesn't think a rim...

It's been a very long time. But I recall using a shotgun for deer when I was there in the mid 70's. When did Florida allow rifle, or was it just that all I had with me at the time was a shotgun so that's what I used?

I liked my 24C as a camping gun. Best of both worlds. I'd still have it if one of my scamps hadn't made off with it. It's getting to the point I need to change the combination to the safes. I never know what might have gone for a walk a bout when those two visit.

I'm not the greatest fan of British comedy. But Wooster & Jeeves always gets my attention. It's not just the humor, it was the way the two actors played off of one another.

Sometime in late '73 or early '74 an RF-101 Voodoo lost power. Too far out to make the runway it set down on the I-15 between Victorville and Barstow.

Thanks. That will make a nice little read.

Doc, knives hurt. Not right away, that comes later. But it's what you do between the sticking and the hurting that makes all the difference. Of course, getting arrested did pretty much make me angry enough not to care about the hurt for a while longer.

Thanks for clarifying the LA situation, but, I did say ' probably ', and it does sound like that even though it is officially listed as a 'shall issue' state, the effect comes out as more of a 'may issue' than 'shall issue' situation; I'm glad she could at least theoretically get a permit.
