Thanks Gents. I have been off of here for a while. Long story. Shortest version is that PillHer lost her job, and with her being home all the time, she HATES for me to be on the computer.

Got down to 189 lbs. Eating mostly fish and tamales.

I have not shot my .458 SoCom enough to get it broken in.

Prayers up. I fill hospice meds every day. Those who care for others are a special breed.

Got to 13°F this morning in DFW.

Thos week was stroke number 71 for me. The Covid shot has done more damage to me than everything else combined

I feel pretty good about waking up every morning. Having been declared dead once, no life signs for 2 hours and 3 times of a defibrilator trying to jump start me, then somehow just starting again on my own while at room temperature 2 hours later makes each day good. The Lazarus Club is not a club I ...

Within spitting distance of Dallas. Got a bit cool over the last few days, but no snow or ice. Can almost see Stevie Ray Vaughn's grave from here. Can hear his ghost playing guitar on a still night.

We mail a lot of packages. USPS tracking is just insane. Going 5 or 6 hundred miles to get somewhere that a 20 mile straight line should go is not understandable. The USPS is as bad as is humanly possible to be.

Sorry for your loss. We had a loss recently, but it was not the same. She never had a chance.

Battery life?

My son works for Usually Parts Shattered. He used to work for FedUp. Both are a joke from an insiders point of view. Since the woman who was CEO of the downfall of Home Depot took over at Usually Parts Shattered, it has become horrible. She has a habit of making Joe Biden look competent. Home Depot ...

.44 Mag or .357 Mag out of a levergun should be enough. No matter what, a poor shot, or a complete miss will not do much. My Dad used to say that a shot in the heart with a .22 lr was better than a miss with a .44 Magnum.

I have never used a Casull. The Ruger .480 in a Super Redhawk is my most powerful gun.

I go to UT Southwestern for all of my medical needs. Genetic anomalies are just another day to them. When I had my MASSIVE stroke, I was on their orange floor. I refused aspirin, ant told them that I didn't have a 2c19 or a 3a4 enzyme. The floor Pharmacist on duty read the chart, and came to my room...

PillHer and I both have a 7mm08. The kick is mild, but it works as well as any mid range centerfire. I would not be against using it on elk or moose.

That's a great picture. I like seeing dogs buddy up like that. Good friends, eh?

Red one, Colter, is the Mama. Mycroft was 4th of 4 puppies. Father unknown. He jumps like an Elkhound.

I have always heard that it is the flame cutting which erodes barrels.

Some folks can put a lot of wisdom in a funny sentence.

My wife and I are flying into DFW next Wednesday to visit our son, his wife and our 6 month old granddaughter in Weatherford. He will pick us up at the airport....he says the drive is not that bad. I avoid Weatherford At All Costs. That alcoholic daughter of Sam Walton is the best driver there, and...

I try to keep my appointments in Dallas around 9:45 or later. Traffic has cleared out by then.

Great news!

Long shot and H4227 are nice mild powders for the .480 Ruger pistol, but they are a totally different animal out of a carbine.

Storage.

Sister had a diesel VW. She was extremely tired one day. Put gasoline in the tank. Started it and immediately shut it off. No harm done. She called the dealership. Cost her a drain and flush. If she would have pressed the foot feed, it would have been serious.

We Whigs seem to value independence and self reliance. Too many Tories now.

Keep the power within design limits, and lots of well designed mechanical items last a long time. The Colt Peacemaker was well designed.

Carbon and Hydrogen are extremely abundent. Put them together under heat and pressure in an anOxic environment, and they combine to form methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, octane, nonane, decane, dodecane, and on dowh the list. Iso-enantiomers also. The amount of oil is more than the...

I sort of see both schools of thought as having merit. I have a .327 Mag, a Ruger.480, a 30-30, and a .45-70. I have some handguns, too.

LEDs can be found in soft white, daylight, and other wavelengths. I am careful because PillHer gets nauseated by the daylight ones.

Though I do not know him, he is certainly a member of the firearms community. Prayers up for his health.

.38/.357 is hard to beat, so a .35 caliber range for me.

He spent his time making the world a better place for others. Hope he rests in peace.

Good information to keep in mind. I am sort of happy with my fingers. Blowing up a gun and losing a finger or two does not sound enjoyable.

Good to hear that he is still plugging along.

Those rolled gauze bandages are great for covering places which are hard to put a bandaid. The athletic tape which sticks to itself can keep pressure on a cut.

I think you are all going to get me in serious trouble with the finance department. I do not have a .45 Colt carbine. The finance department is probably going to hurt me if I fix the situation. She was better with an M16 than I was.

It was made by a fellow who had a shop in Silver Dollar City. Ray Johnson. He has passed on. Solid knife. A little heavy, but will chop like a hatchet.

Black pepper is an amazing item to stop bleeding. Potato starch is also great. Always keep some in your vehicle. If someone needs a tourniquet, put it on, and then use finely ground black pepper (think fast food restaurant pepper packets), or ziploc baggies half full of potato starch to sprinkle on ...
