Thanks Doc, there's some good info in there. I have a lot of the things you mentioned in a dry box in my truck. Rubber gloves, respirators, N95s, goggles etc. Tools of the trade. MM I grew up in construction and like you said, some tape and paper towels and back to work. I got whacked in the leg by ...

Most commercial “first aid” kits are woefully inadequate for much more than a paper cut. Good ones are expensive but often have things most folks have no idea how to use. Then too, most folks buy a kit stuff it in the trunk or bathroom cabinet and expect it to be useable years later. By which time ...

Good morning, guys! Back home last night from another two week stay in the hospital. This one started out really bad, but I feel better now than I have in a long time! While I was there, when I could get a connection, I was able to get into the site now and then, but not often. The reason for this t...

Well said, Bill!

I had to send mine back about 5-6 years ago. Not only did they send me a whole new one but a big box of spare parts came with it.
Every time I've had to contact Dillon, which has been few and far between, their customer service people have been first rate!

Ruger customer service is so odd. They fixed a large frame.44 Magnum Vaquero for me last year and only charged shipping. It’s still worth giving them a call. I have one of the LCP II LR, .22s and it’s never given me a problem. I put a Ruger threaded barrel in it a while ago and it is still working p...

The older we get, the more forgetful we get. Nothing wrong with mnemonic sayings. I am not getting forgetful... There's just so many files up in the noggin, that it takes a while to find the right one! Not a problem when you're younger, not so many files! Nailed it! Too many fires to put out some d...

Enjoyed the story! Best plane ride I ever had was on a DC 3 in the late’70s. We flew from St. Thomas, USVI to San Juan airport to catch a flight to Miami. The pilot flew nice and low and my face was glued to the window the entire time. I’ll never forget that ride. For a thirteen year old kid, nothin...

The P365 simply performs better in my hands and weighs so much less. I hate to admit it because I cut my teeth on a 1911 and carried a Government Model for many years on and off duty. Scott, I've been carrying a Sig 365 for about a year now. I like the way it sits in my hand and an outstanding shoo...

Good one! I don't think I've watched the show since the Eddy Murphy years.

Thanks Earl,

Looking forward to feeling well enough to get back down in my reloading room and do something besides sit around.

I went out to one of my favorite shops this morning. Finally getting a little energy back and had to get out the house. Went looking for some Bullseye, but still didn't have any. I have enough for now, but another pound or two would make me happy. The racks and handgun cases were over flowing. Haven...

Nice looking pistols!

I have a P238 and it hasn't let me down yet. I keep eyeballing the Sig STX/ 1911. Sooner or later, I'll buy one.

Have fun!

I got serious about it during the Obummer years. I swore, I'd never get caught short on reloading supplies or ammo again.

Thanks Griff! I have several doctors and "specialists" looking after me since this fiasco. I have a lot of follow up apts. to get through in the coming months, but so far all is well. I've been bugging the one in charge, her assistant at least, to let me return for "light work" n...

Really slick looking sight. I've always liked a gold bead on my revolvers. I was obsessed with my .327 when i first got it, then the ADD kicked in and got involved with some else. I'll have to get back to the .327, do enjoy shooting it. I did try several brands and weights but settled on the 100 XTP...

Thanks Doug, That first one is responsible for the '95 obsession. I've had a few others come and go, but these are the current bunch. Two '06 SRCs, Russian Contract and my grandfather's .35 WCF. https://i.imgur.com/XIuO1qk.jpg Still chasing an SRC in .303 British. So many of them have corroded bores...

I have a small 2500 watt Subaru. Little bugger just runs and runs. I'd been wanting the big back up gen since I build the house. Constantly dropping hints about it. The all of a sudden Bubbles brings it up one evening and says she'd pay for half of it. I asked "why now?" and she says she w...

This old, worked over '95 SRC / .30-'06 has accounted for more whitetail than any other rifle I own. I was still in college when I bought it, and that $350 was every last dollar I had, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

One of the best investments I've made in some time. It will run the whole house and then some. Ours is propane driven and have plans to upgrade the size of our tank, just incase of an extended, wintertime outage. It's programmed to cycle on, run for 15 minutes and shut down every other Tuesday. Tuck...

Thanks Guys! Last night was the last of the IV treatments. What a pain! 3+hrs, twice a day! Can't say enough about my wonderful wife! She was really intimidated by the IV thing, but the visiting nurse walked her through a couple and now she's a real pro. :D My dad's heading back to FL soon and relly...

A couple of the guys here know that this October has just been a little tough to deal with. Oct. 4th I was involved in a hit an run accident on the highway. Little creep slammed into the front quarter panel of my company vehicle, took off down the off ramp and into several large parking lots. Lady b...

Holy cow! That looks awful.

That's a nice one for sure. I had a few of the Russian guns when the hit the market. Started selling them off when the prices shot up. There was one I should of kept, in very similar condition.

Paladin / Grizz, Exactly the reason for the debate I'm having, mostly with myself. My Dane put herself between us an dangerous animal multiple times. The two, most potentially dangerous were a black bear and her cub, that I didn't even know was there until she went full on defensive mode. I was pack...

Cute! We have three Terriers right now, mostly by accident, but I wouldn't change a thing. The Jack Russell, Rat Terrier and Dachshund/ Chihuahua mix are the best alarm system I've ever had. My wife puts up tons of decorations every year, but none of them make any actual sounds, but once in awhile, ...

2ndovc

More than I’d like to admit.

Misplaced two Colt Official Police revolvers, one that is British proofed. Finally found them about six months later.

Now I can’t find the 10mm cylinder for my Blackhawk!
Ugh!

jb

That Starr is pretty slick. Looks good in the '17 holster.

There was a single action version at the last show I went to for $700. Probably should have bought it, but just wasn't in the buying mood.

Have fun!

jb

Pretty slick, Jay!

I really like that revolver. I bought this Taylor's Hickok .45 Colt about a year ago. It's a hoot shooting the .45 Cby. Spl. through it!

Had me scared that you meant cancer, Jay. Hope y'all feel much better real soon. My neighbor and her sister -- both my age, 70 -- came down with it on the last day of their Alaska cruise. The Paxlovid did wonders. Same here! :shock: Last time I had it, it only lasted a few days. Hope it passes soon...

2ndovc

Cool!

There's an aviation museum not far from us that has a B-25. I still run outside to see it if I hear it coming.
There was a B-17 that used to fly in for the Cleveland air show. I'd catch that one flying through once in a while.

You're right, it's no Remington 40X, but it will shoot better than I can. I'm sure I can tweak the 180s a bit, but I wasn't unhappy with this load. https://i.imgur.com/fAeNT5Z.jpg The two separate groups were entirely my doing after shifting my shooting position. That and those front sights are star...

I bought this Enfield recently. It's set up as as a Match or target rifle with a very nice Parker Hale receiver sight. It does have a Century Arms import mark on it, but don't know if it was imported this way or set up afterwards. This Fazakerly No.4 was made in 1944 then FTR'd ( Factory Thorough Re...

Reminds me of my first new car. Went through a brief fascination with sports cars when I was in my early twenties. First brand new set of wheels was a Dodge Daytona. Fun car that got me through the last of my college days. I decided to take it up to our cabin in PA and despite it's total lack of use...

I've also wondered from time to time, what happened there. I had some interesting conversations with Pete over the years and if I remember correctly bought a couple of things from him.

These two shoot well with a 200 gr LFP over 6.5 grains of Titegroup. If I up the load to 7.3 grains of Titegroup and a 250 gr.

A cousin introduced me to his music in the late '70s and was a big part of our lives growing up. Sailing the Great Lakes, Caribbean and Central American waters, his songs were always playing. Couldn't give a rats butt about his politics. It's almost like we lost part of the family. Sail on, Sir and ...

I have a CST from around the same time frame. Super shooter and will feed anything.
