Haha I've caught my leg a couple times too. Mine expands also. I think to 11 inches high. I probably couldn't get on the bike haha! Now that it's set up for me, I think I made the right choice. The DRZ is a great bike, and more than enough for me at this stage. It's a lot more bike than the KLX300 w...

OldWin

Hey Walt! I actually did surprisingly well. I've ridden it farther and was pretty saddle sore, but I wore jeans and work boots. For the first time, I wore my riding gear on it this week. Made a night and day difference. I even had a backpack on. I stopped long enough in Bingham (about 35 miles in) t...

I sold a really nice 2.5" round butt S&W model 19 a couple years ago. I wasn't hot to sell it but I made quite a profit to finance part of a Colt SAA. I met the guy in a parking lot for the sale, and he was a very nice older gentleman. He had his wife with him and was super happy with the S...

OldWin

Hey Walt! Glad you got out. Yes, I did. It was beautiful here too. I took the TW yesterday. Ended up riding 110 miles. Got up into some of my old stomping grounds by my old camp in Kingsbury. Made it up to Austin pond. Hadn't ridden those trails in 20 years. I would have ride all the way to Greenvil...

OldWin

Haha good one!
Yeah, I'll be anxious to hear how it does and what works best.
May take a ride tomorrow. Haven't made up my mind what bike I'll take yet. Both are ready to go. I really should be working on the tractor, but I may be able to squeeze that in later in the day.

OldWin

Haha I bet he does! Nothing better than bringing home some meat. Many don't care for deer meat, but I absolutely love it. Nothing fancy. Good ole cast iron fry pan, couple pieces of bacon in there, some mushrooms, few onions, little garlic salt, and some small steaks. Boil up some fiddleheads and a ...

Back in the late 70s I got some Beeman pellets. Had to order them, as nobody around here carried stuff like that. They were pointed, and shot fantastic out of my old Crossman 760. Killed many a pigeon with that combination. Excellent! Please congratulate your son for me! Looks like you folks are in ...

OldWin

I only have one. It's an Interarms 20" .357, likely the same vintage as Griffs. It belonged to my late friend. He had installed an old steel 66 Lyman on it. It's a great shooter. It has a steel magazine follower, but I couldn't tell you if it came with it or was replaced. I did slick the action...

OldWin

Congratulations sir! That's a fantastic bear. What a great rifle and cartridge for the occasion. A win all the way around.

OldWin

Thanks for stopping by Sir! We don't get many visitors. Maybe we should talk airguns more often. :D Walt, When I was a kid, a friend of mine had one of those Sheridans too. It was a quality piece, and a good shooter as I recall. I never owned one myself. Mostly just Crossmans and Daisy's. But I sure...

OldWin

Cool buddy! I was a daily airgun user when I was young. Living in town, it was the only (legal) option for my cronies and I. It was like the wild west around here, and the signs are still visible almost 50 years later. My dad keeps the flame alive these days with my son's old Gamo. He has sniper hid...

OldWin

Great pic Walt!

Haha yeah Gunny. She keeps us safe against any and all threats.

OldWin

Gracie in "high ready".

OldWin

Well I didn't do much today! First, it was too hot! Second, our granddaughter was here with us so we just chased a 2yo around all day. Well.....actually.....that was quite a lot! :D Oh! And my new riding gear came. Along with my Enduro tailbag. I did mount that up. It's super nice and I think I will...

OldWin

Couldn't agree more. I belong to a couple forums but rarely post. This place is unique, and kind of like an old timey gunshop where folks hang out and talk guns and everything else. I've been here since 2009 and still consider myself a newcomer.

OldWin

Well, well! You found us. Welcome aboard buddy! But I have to warn you, this is the dirty little corner of the Leverguns forum where the outcasts and outlaws hang out. :D Your reputation will be forever tarnished! :D Well, what a friggen day! Didn't even take any cool pictures. We cranked up the Jol...

OldWin

Thanks Walt, it was a good ride. It was pretty dry actually. Few wet spots, but it's surprising dry for all the rain we've had. I have the bike pretty well dialed in I think. After my last ride I backed the compression damping off 3 clicks front and rear. I think it's close. I don't thrash like I di...

OldWin

Thats neat! My dad needs one of those for his ongoing war with the squirrels. :D Man! I just got back from a 92 mile ride with the DRZ. I didn't leave until after 2 and it's now 5:30. I stopped once long enough to top off my fuel in Bingham. Only had maybe 10 miles of pavement out of the whole thing...

OldWin

My go to for jacketed .44s has a 240 gr. XTP and a good dose of W296. My mind is blanking on the charge. I'll have to look it up when I get home if you're interested. jb 8) Me too. I've also had good luck with that bullet and IMR4227. For light/medium loads I use a 240 Acme coated bullet over Uniqu...

OldWin

So sorry for your loss. God Speed to her.

OldWin

Thanks for the link buddy. I'll have to check that out.
I always have my old standbys I watch over and over. I remember watching them w8th my dad when I was a kid.

OldWin

I get it buddy. When I sit downstairs in the gun room, I sometimes watch old movies or shows. Been watching Gunsmoke lately.

OldWin

This is the twelfth weekend in a row of rain. Weather during the week has been beautiful. Sometimes this shift works out. :D I was busy all week but don't know what I did. Holy smokes I hate when that happens. My parents new deck is finally finished. Looks really nice. It all that high falutin Trex ...

OldWin

Glad you got some rain!
It's rained 12 weekends in a row here and been beautiful all week. That's ok, I only work Friday through Sunday.

OldWin

Congratulations OS! That's quite a milestone. Here's to 50 more.

Great pictures Walt! Haha yeah I hear that. It's impossible to mix vehicles like that. A good ride is a good ride though. I ate my share of dust Monday. A bike is so much faster on a trail than those infernal side by sides.

OldWin

I've noticed that too Walt. The older I get, the more important that "routine" gets. :D Cool pic! My youngest son is a shooter too. Not so much these days, as he has 3 young kids. He shot IDPA and did pretty good. He still shoots, but doesn't compete anymore. Been meaning to ask how you ar...

OldWin

That is very nice. I'm a 1911 guy, but I like the Hi-Power too. They shoot well for me.
The grips are nice too, buy that pistol just screams STAGS to me.

OldWin

I have had trouble getting on too. Hey GK is that you with chick with the legs? Good for you buddy! Been a nice couple of days here. Got in some good riding on Memorial Day. Trails were a little crowded. Especially the old track bed up to Bingham. Yesterday I was pretty busy. The oldest boy and his ...

OldWin

Haha pedal man, pedal! That's all you see here too. Its ridiculous. Stupid baggers. It's one thing when you are riding all over the country, or are gone for weeks at a time. My parents did that for years on an 87 Yamaha Venture and a 92 Honda SE Gold Wing. But 90% of the people you see with baggers ...

OldWin

I agree that the .32acp is fun to shoot. I was gifted a Colt Pocket Hammerless a few years ago. When I took it out and shot it I immediately saw why they sold so many. It never missed a link and shot extremely well.

OldWin

I've never had quail or Ptarmigan either. I'd like to try Ptarmigan, and should try for some when I'm up to visit my boy sometime. My hunting career is fairly low key now. I don't hunt moose, turkey, ducks, or anything. Only deer and partridge. Its just so enjoyable bird hunting. The weather is beau...

OldWin

out here we have all of them, and our Chukar are technically Chukar Partridge, but we just call them chukar. I've not hunted pheasant much, but lots of chukar, quail, and riffed grouse. Tried blue grouse some, butt they eat a lot of pine here and taste like pine needles. We call your blue grouse &q...

OldWin

I have an IMS on my TW, but I did raise it on the splines a notch. I did the same thing with my DRZ this week. Yes there is a lot of noise with the skid plate. I never noticed it with my old XR, but the exhaust was quite loud. That's some of why I tried an Acerbis plastic one on the DRZ. I really li...

OldWin

Ive never eaten pheasant. We dont have them here unless it's a release for hunting. Partridge is my feathered game. They are friggen delicious. Usually just slice down the breast and throw it in some cast iron with a couple pieces of bacon, a little olive oil, and maybe diced onion and some mushroom...

OldWin

There's nothing better than finding a new recipe for game that's really good. I rarely change up how I prepare a meal of it, so it's a big deal.
My world is pretty small.

Glad it worked out well Gunny!

OldWin

Thank you, I'll definitely check this out. I've been on quite a .357 kick the last few years. Probably to make up for the 20 years I'd kind of swore off it.

OldWin

Thanks buddy. So far so good.
I've seen a few partridge this spring, but no broods yet. Haven't seen any rabbits, but there was quite a bit of sign this past winter.

OldWin

It's 45 degrees here and overcast. Kind of damp and crappy out. Just doesn't want to seem to snap out of it. My mother in law fell and broke her hip Sunday. She is 85 and lives alone. I didn't go to work Sunday cause they had to do a hip replacement on her. I figured for sure this would be it for he...

OldWin

Hahaha! Zero!? Well you got me beat buddy. As far as the riding though, I've been there and done that! Probably still do a little if that. I'm still learning the DRZ. I get onto it now and then. Last week I spun out in a 90 degree gravel road turn. I had the bars turned to the lock and it weren't ne...

OldWin

Congratulations on you new Colt. Very nice. Man, it's been cold, windy, and rainy here. Even still, I thought I'd take a ride today cause it wasn't raining. I had a good 60 mile ride, but I thought I'd freeze! Wore motocross boots and pants, a shirt with a chamois shirt over it, and my flecktarn cam...

OldWin

Haha that's cool! Well, unless you was the one who bought the salted mine!
Hopefully, I'll get back out there at some point. Like to take some time and look around.

OldWin

That's a cool place GK! My son checked out a pile of em over there. Not sure if I'll make it there, but if I do you can show me around. :D That saloon sounds pretty neat Walt! Sounds like you had a great trip and time with family. Nice picture of your son and his family. Yeah, that is a pile of driv...

OldWin

I'm sure it has. Like everywhere else. It's still pretty laid back though. Great place for the grandkids to grow up. Still bear and deer in town.

OldWin

Cool place GK! The Old Mill pub has a deck around the 2 sides toward the river. It's nice to sit out there in the summer. The inside was left as it looked in the old days. The old post and beams are exposed. It encompasses 2 floors and is open in the middle. Very cool old building. When we had the b...

I am retired from the US COAST GUARD, and was stationed in KODIAK, ALASKA for 5 and 1/2 years. the ALASKAN FISH AND GAME DEPARTMENT recommeded two guns for bear protection at that time. 1975 - 1978 and 1983 - 1986. These two guns were a good 18 inch barrel pump 12 guage shotgun with slugs, and the ...

OldWin

That's sad buddy. When I think of England, that's what I picture. Little pubs in a small village or in the countryside. Probably from watching An American Werewolf in London back in the day. :D We have have a lot of knockoff Irish pubs here. Like everything, I'm sure if you've been in a real one, th...

OldWin

That was a close one buddy! Can you imagine the horror of getting blown up in a pub BEFORE you get served your pint?
Oh, the humanity!

OldWin

Who would expect to get blown up playing golf? I guess you never really know.
Be careful out there.
