10! Nope. I ain't that tough buddy.

Oh man, back at work. Hate it.
Hopefully we will get rid of the snow soon. I got stuff to do at camp. Just saw the weather up there. It said, "Snow. Heavy at times."
Come on man!

OldWin

I do that every time on purpose.

Take care.

OldWin

I have no idea who you are talking about. Like I said, I don't watch any news "productions".

OldWin

Oh I agree. Their only fear is working people just stopping. It is the ONLY thing of value in the whole country. The currency is worthless. There is nothing backing it but endless debt. We produce almost nothing. Trust me, revolution will NOT fix it or make it better. I can guarantee you that. The o...

OldWin

I've often wondered that too. I ONLY travel for family. Other than that I wouldn't stray too far.

We are a long ways from mowing here. It snowed a little last night. There's still a bunch of snow.

Back to work tomorrow night. That sucks.

OldWin

Made it!
Man, it's good to be home.

OldWin

I'm guessing it was a clot. It runs in their family.

Ol 45 swillin beer and looking at classic hootchi. Bet you wouldn't want to see em

now!

OldWin

Yup. Perspective. Our middle son called my wife last night to let is know that his 30 year old sister in-law told her parents that she didn't feel well. She got up, had a seizure, and dropped dead. I can't imagine being her parents. Her dad was in my class in school. She was a really nice girl. Very...

OldWin

Hey buddy, We're in the Anchorage airport now. Flew in this morning. This is our longest wait but this is one of the few airports I can stand. Sitting up in the lounge with free food and quiet. About as good as travel gets. We usually run through the Seattle Airport. I absolutely hate that place. A ...

OldWin

Beautiful! Congratulations on a great looking Colt.
I did the same thing when I first shot my Python. I hadn't shot any of my 357s in a while and had gotten pretty rusty. I dropped back to plus P 38 and it helped a lot. I really enjoy shooting and carrying mine.

OldWin

Yeah, I don't know..... It's cool here, but I know the ground back home. Now, if something big changed back home? Well, maybe I'd move here. There's just no hassle. People pretty much do what they want. I do like that. I think it's colder home than here on Kodiak. But, the summers are cooler than ho...

OldWin

Well, headed home in the morning. We've had a great week visiting our Alaska family. Sucks leaving ,but they are coming to stay with us this summer.
It's beautiful here, but I'll be glad to get back to our hillbilly paradise.

OldWin

Yeah, we gave up on that stuff. We probably 2 printers/scanners that we could print stuff from our phones while at work or whatever. Big doin, dynawhoppin, fancy ones. They sat till they dried up and plugged. Never got another. Do t have a computer anymore either. My wife has a small iPad thingy but...

OldWin

Looks like a SAW. And not the wood cutting kind. I guess you could say it's a "meat saw". :D We used to have a bowling alley in town. It was candlepin only. It burned on new years day 1980. We were working on my cousins snowmobile in my dad's garage with the stove going. It must have been ...

OldWin

Well I just got up and am swillin coffee. If I was back home, I'd be getting up like Six! :D It's almost light here at 7. Stays light till after 9. I've done more traveling in the last few years than all the rest of my life. I HATE traveling, but i do it for family. Either to visit those away, or as...

OldWin

Haha yup. You look after your own tribe and screw the rest. That's how you stay ahead of the game.

Ooooooohhhhh! A nee Colt on the way!

OldWin

Hahaha that's priceless man! Black box...... .

Nice!

OldWin

Nice JD! Me and the old man were looking at old Gravelys to use as a deer dragger back in our tight trails. Haven't bought one though. Looked a a couple tractors too. Guy over to Bangor has a nice old Bolens that would work pretty good too. Thanks Six. Yeah, I still got a package I have to ship out ...

OldWin

Hey! Those places are regular family homes in my neck o' the woods. When I was a kid, I knew a lot if kids that grew up in some rough places. No plumbing shacks not fit for a human.
Not so many now, but they're still out there. Now it's mostly old campers you see rough people living in.

OldWin

This is the smallest 44 I carry and shoot. It's a 629-2 Hunter with the endurance package. Smith made 2500 with the 3" barrel and factory Pachmayr grippers. I bought it NIB a couple years ago. First thing I did was take it out and shoot it. It's very controllable and not hard to shoot. Mostly b...

OldWin

My uncle has one. He got it for 500 bucks after the previous owner shot it.
He had me work up a usable load for it so I loaded some cast SWC over some IMR4227. I shot it some and it wasn't bad, but either it didn't shoot, or I didn't shoot it as well as my 629.

OldWin

Can't be from Maine if they's sistahs.

We'uns be the whitest white of the white states. I know, I know.....we aren't "diverse" enough.
I ain't sorry.

However! We do have some lily white chick's every bit as big. Lots of em.

OldWin

Yeah. Them bars sure do look "local" to me.
Hahaha nice. A skivvy toss.

OldWin

Hey boys! Ain't had time to check in. Been chasing the grandkids around. Was up till 4am shooting the bull over cold Rainiers with the kid the other night. I drove the kids Jeep home from the airport and had to pit it in 4wd to get put of the parking spot in the parking lot. Drove to the kids house ...

OldWin

I've had one of the 3" Pythons for about 6 months or so, I like everything about it, except the single action trigger pull. It measures over 6 pounds. I contacted Colt, but no response, The guys here came up with a Colt guru that's done a ton of jb 8) irritating having to get a $1500 gun worke...

OldWin

Quite honestly Grizz, I don't know how one could have witnessed the last few decades and think otherwise. The whole thing is in the toilet.
I now just focus on my family, and living my life the way I think is right. But I agree with you, the time is getting short.

OldWin

Yup. WAY better than a 20!
That's a really nice revolver. My uncle had one and it was really neat.
Yeah, since you still have the Dan, I'd get the 3" Colt.

OldWin

It's no different than gun control.... It doesn't matter if EVs are no good, dangerous, and pollute more than our current transportation. They already know all that. The government is forcing EVs through the government controlled (and funded) auto industry as another means to control and subjugate t...

OldWin

Haha more Colts is always better! With that info, I'd probably go with the 3" between the 2. I think they look great. Yeah, that doesn't matter per-se', but in reality it always holds sway with me. :D I'm 55 and still running a stripped FX Softail. Your FB looks really clean. And with me, it or...

OldWin

I will tell him bud.
No, it isn't very cold there now. He said they got more snow last week than they have all winter. Kodiak is a weird place.

Nope. He would notice. Believe it or not, he is WAY meaner than me.

He don't mind if I borrow them though.

OldWin

Thank you 45.
Haha yeah. As soon as the snow is gone, we're gonna be knee deep in mud too!

OldWin

Thanks Harry I will!
Matter of fact, if the snacks are any good, I'll drop some to you. I'll have to have the pilot let me know when we are on approach. Gotta be quite a lead time dropping a 1 ounce bag of cookies from 30k feet.

I'll bring my surplus Norden bomb sight.

OldWin

First off...... Tutt, Yes, I agree! I'm still rolling my 96" Twin Cam from 2008. I'll NEVER go any newer. Never. Streetstar, I have one of the new Pythons, but mine is a 4.25". I realize this is the one barrel you aren't considering, but I have been happy with mine. I too, sold a beautiful...

OldWin

Good shootin'!!

Last time I fired mine was in October of 2009. Into the chest of a young bull moose.

OldWin

Well, heading for Alaska early tomorrow. Just for a week this trip. Gonna make a plan for this summer when the kids come home for a month. Be good to see everyone. Beautiful place, but it sucks having them so far away. I sure hate the traveling though. Hate it. Now! Just cause I'm gonna be gone, don...

OldWin

Yeah.....oh well.
I was just thinking the other day that I should change my sig line......
Like I said the GK the other day.....guess not.

OldWin

Well I specifically said Rossi in MY post. I guess now it will be the name that shall not be spoken.

Next time someone posts how Marlins are stronger or more accurate than Winchesters, I can be offended.

OldWin

Haha yeah. That's a nice STEEL Lyman 66. May be a garbage rod rifle, but I ain't got garbage sights! I got my standards. :D Yup. Cashless. Then you get to pay taxes on EVERYTHING. And, you only buy what they let you. And, they know everything you buy, where you buy it, and where you are. Yes sir! Fr...

OldWin

Glad to hear you're doing OK harry! Yeah....watch the ice! Especially in the morning when the runoff from the day before is froze. Reminds me... I came running across from my old man's place over to mine one day in the spring many years ago. I had a minty H&R M1 Garand in my left hand and was go...

OldWin

Ahhhhh, my one Rossi. Yup. You got me.
Of course, I always carry my Colt SAA in .357 too. So when the Rossi falls apart, I still have something to shoot.

OldWin

Man! I bet it's been 30 years since I've been to a show with a lot of nice Winchesters. Now, I've never been to one with a lot of Colts. Never. You may see one or two, but that's it. Especially SAAs. Never saw a lot of nice old handguns. I did see a nice Smith double action Frontier in 44-40 one tim...

OldWin

Good to be here!! Hey! Welcome aboard snk. If ole Six vouched for you, then....... Well...... Welcome aboard! :D Yeah, this is quite a bunch. But, if you like cool old stuff, and don't take yourself too seriously, this is a fun place to hang out. Hey Six, My kid hit a show today on Kodiak. He said ...

OldWin

No wonder I've never heard of it. They wouldn't let me and my junkers any where near there. Maybe if they needed a door stop.

OldWin

I thought you only scored points when you won a new page.... :? If I have to give out awards I will follow OldWin and just be nice it's more important than the truth..... :lol: See that! My buddy GK always lights the way. I was just wondering if I should change that sig line. NOPE! I'm obviously pr...

OldWin

Everyone gets a trophy!

Finally! Now I can be special like everyone else!

It's the only way I can shine.

OldWin

OS to me it still looks like s good vet would get it back on its feet...... :? That's pretty good buddy! I'll have to remember that. My wife "cooks" (?) her steaks like that. No thanks. I've always had this picture in my mind of an English pub. I'd almost hate to visit one so that my imag...

OldWin

Glad it went well Griff. Sounds like you'll be in a high state of tune now.

Great news!

OldWin

Cool stuff buddy. Nothing sounds better than an old engine chugging.

OldWin

It was about 45 here. Coming out of winter it feels like 60. It's weird how it's like that every year. You can get used to anything.
