Thanks Bill, building is also the reason we need doctors- us guys are broken down, beat & wore out joints ! :lol: You're not kidding! Biggest reason I made the switch to the Dark Side/ or insurance world depending on your views. Too beat up for a lot of that stuff anymore. Cool looking building...

Sorry to hear about your friend, Jim.

Still working on mine. My Dr. friend invited me out to his place next week to help me work on what I need as well as a First Aid class. There also just happens to be a very nice gun shop out there. Mostly high end shotguns, but it's fun to look.

Jim! :lol: :lol: Jay, Liberty Mutual has really changed. Used to be a great company to work with, but they've gone the way of St. Farm and some of the others. I learned a lot from one of their large loss adjusters. I've had independent agents actually show up at a large fire loss. Most of the smalle...

Didn't notice that large of an increase. What I have issue with is I have large , LARGE oak trees very close to my house. I asked the insurance agent if they would pay to take down/ trim the trees. No we don't do that. Ok so the next hurricane Sandy snaps off the top and goes through the roof causi...

Got lucky, big time. Some of the .35s have been reloaded at least once, but are in good shape. The .250 Savage brass is really dirty, but Norma mfg. :D I've been scrounging the shows for .250s for a while and have enough now to keep me shooting grandpa's Model 70 for a long time. The .35s were a rea...

2ndovc

A pleasant cartridge to shoot and quite accurate when you find the right combination. I have my grandfather's 94 that shoots the Barnes .377s really well. The rifle is all original but has some pitting and wear on the receiver. The bore is perfect though. https://i.imgur.com/PMFkhW3.jpg The rifle I ...

My dad and I went to a little show this morning. Usually find something interesting there, but hadn't seen anything I couldn't live without. I was getting a little worn out, but my dad talked me into one more pass. There was a box of ziplocs full of brass that I hadn't seen before. Pulled out a bag ...

Ruger to the best of my knowledge has always been pretty good on their warranty. HOWEVER, I would send it to Jeff Ault at Munden Sixgun Magic. I was about ready to sell my Ruger Flattop but decided to suck it up and spend the money. It was truly the best money I have ever spent on a gun. Here is a ...

Those Yamaha 200s are great little bikes!

I had a Kawasaki KLR650 for years. I sold it, planning an upgrade to a BMW GS1200 but something got in the way and it never happened. I've been thinking about replacing the KLR a lot recently. Might just happen this year.

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

. My little Remlin 357 Mag threaded carbine (1894 CST) is probably the most versatile and practical levergun I've ever had. I did adulterate it with a Ranger Point Precision forend, and later even their buttstock, because I've also got a pristine blued steel and walnut 1894 C in 357 that is 'factor...

Sorry to hear about your friend, Ted.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Jason

Sorry man. A lot of know how hard that is. I have getting close. She's more my wife's dog, but it's still not going to be easy.

Our thoughts are with you.

Jason

2ndovc

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!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

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!

jb

2ndovc

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...

Great pictures!

Really making me want another Lab!!!

Nice shot!!!!

That rack would have done some damage for sure!

Very nice, Bill.

That is interesting. Thanks Steve.

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...

2ndovc

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.

Jason

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...

2ndovc

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...

2ndovc

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...

2ndovc

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...

2ndovc

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...

2ndovc

Holy cow! That looks awful.
Happy it’s all worked out.

jb

2ndovc

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.

Have fun!

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

2ndovc

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

2ndovc

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...
