That's just beautiful. If I make it over I'll hire you as my tour guide. Don't know if I can afford your rates, but I'll want a thorough tour of the pubs too!

OldWin

Wow that is really cool. There's just nothing that old here. That would be neat to see England and Europe. Just to see such old things. I am fascinated by that.

OldWin

Yeah I get it. We tell my son all the time....
We'd love to have em all home, but we want them to be where they are happy. We'll, hopefully it will work out buddy. I know you've been less than happy where you are. Sounds like a big improvement.

OldWin

Bet you're glad to have em back GK. I know I would be. Sometimes it sucks having my boy and 3 of my grandkids in Alaska.

OldWin

I started loading 45acp when I got my Dillon 550. I casted the Lyman 195gr TC and loaded it over 5.5gr of Unique. It shot well for me across several pistols. Then I switched to 230gr plated and kept the same load. Again, I've had good results. When my stick is gone I will probably go to 230gr coated...

OldWin

Haha priceless! Oh, Friday again. I don't remember so many Fridays coming around before I went on the weekend shift. :D My new Dale Fricke appendix holster for a 1911 Commander came yesterday. They are a semi custom job, and pricey, but they work great. I wouldn't have known, but my son gave me one ...

OldWin

Safe travels Walt. Have a good visit.

Sounds good GK! Hopefully you'll be back in high cotton soon!

OldWin

Just got back home from camp. Beautiful day up there today. Pretty warm. Still riding the sled in but today will probably be about the end of it if it stays warm for the next week. Couple thin spots but otherwise still plenty of snow. Four miles down the road there's none. That would be a sweet gig ...

OldWin

Big day. Went and got dad and too a ride down to Harbor Freight. That's the thing living here. It's a half hour ride even to get to a cheap Chinese tool place. I bought a chain breaker for motorcycle chain. That was 15 bucks. We got a load binder to use on the cable over the road at camp. Dad's budd...

OldWin

Haha I've never watched that either. Yeah, West Athens....
They'd just love those folks up there. Shore gut a purty mouth.......!

OldWin

We got some snow. Then turned to rain and made a mess. Roads were crappy coming home. Plus the time change killed me. Lost an hours sleep.
Good times.

OldWin

Haha! A corndog! You need to bring her to Cornville.

Considering you worked for Westley Richard's, you are a rock of self control old buddy.

OldWin

I have a ferocious guilty conscience....can't do that. Haha yeah I get it. I'm like that too. I like to be free to say what I think and stand by it. Stealing is like welfare. It gets easier to accept over time. Then after a while, people think it's something that's owed to them. People's capacity f...

OldWin

I wondered about that too.... All I could figure was most if the locals didn't know what it was. And the people that did, didn't dare to use it. Yeah, I've seen some guys steal some wicked stuff. Not me. The heyday was back in the 70s in the paper mills. My mom's uncle was a WW2 vet. He worked in th...

OldWin

Well I know there is one toothbrush in Athens. It's at the gas pumps at the Athens Corner Store. It's right beside the squeegee in a little rack. I guess if someone stops and HAS a tooth, and feels like brushing it, they can. I looked at it last fall. The squeegee was pretty worn, but the toothbrush...

OldWin

I've worked nights for 36 years. Weekend nights for 13. It's just best for all concerned. Well, you could always whittle some false teeth out of wood like George Washington. Then have gun money. I worked with a guy in the tool grinding room back in the day that ground a couple "teeth" for ...

OldWin

Haha yeah. This place is crazy. Give a hick an inch....... Nice here today too. Cept I'm heading to work. Not a fan. Looking like an early spring here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I ordered a log skidder attachment for my tractor last week. That came yesterday. Gonna keep it here cause I have to...

OldWin

Haha yeah that's a whole thing here. There's a FB page dedicated to it. A few years ago there was a court case where basically it was ruled as freedom of speech. Consequently, anything you can imagine.....anything, is on license plates here. This place is insane. :D We are getting new plates soon an...

OldWin

See gamekeeper......
It's a way of life and point of pride in these parts.

Probably from Cornville or West Athens.

OldWin

Arkansas must be like Cornville, but without the snow.

I bet if you brought your shotgun they'd be a lot more attentive.

OldWin

This one is always squaling for attention. Drives me nuts. Well, you could always take the money you save from the dentist and move to Cornville. It's pretty easy to get a dentist appointment in Cornville. You'd be the only one in town with any teeth to work on. The dentist in Cornville usually stre...

OldWin

We have a female German Shepherd and a female Lab/Shepherd. They are both great dogs. We also have a small female poodle. She's a royal PIA.

OldWin

Thanks buddy. She is doing well.
Haha yeah dogs can be the best of companions. That's a good lookin pup!

OldWin

Yeah I hear you buddy. I had one go south too but I was really lucky. I still don't have any money, however. :D I'm pretty happy, so it doesn't really matter. I have more than I thought I would when I was a kid. Took the big Z dog to the vet yesterday. She had an infected gland in her eye Doc Wing w...

snkbittin's RR has to be seen to be believed, fantastic set up....

I don't have any toys just a hole in my pants pocket....

Oh man! That's a disturbing picture old buddy.

OldWin

Glad you're ok and keeping busy SB! I was looking at old Wheel Horses pretty hard about a year ago. I wanted a modified off road tractor for up to camp. I didn't want to use my restored John Deere 240. Nothing original, but a modified woods rig. The Wheel Horse tractors work best in this role, follo...

OldWin

I'm most likely related to them. We all are, more or less.
Fiddleheads is brain food.

OldWin

Just beautiful.
For whatever reason, the 32-40 is scarce in my area. I've owned exactly 2, one rifle and one carbine. I kept the rifle but passed the carbine on.
That 25-35 is nicely loaded up with extras.

OldWin

Gotta load some 45 Colt. Eventually, I'll try some coated bullets in that like I did with .357, but for now I'll load more of my usual Lyman 454190's. Probably stick with Unique. Keep threatening to try W231, but I don't have but a tiny bit. I have about 16lbs of Unique.

OldWin

I got out of it when I got called. The then DA's (now a judge) wife is a friend.

Man. I just took the dogs out and is it freakin cold. Temperature wise it isn't bad, like 15 degrees. But the wind is howling something fierce. Didn't have to coax the dogs too hard to come back in.

OldWin

Yeah I will haha. My wife had a picture. It's the black and white spotted variety. He's not home yet. Still too "little".

OldWin

My son is really working with him a lot in regards to mechanical stuff. He bought him a model engine for Christmas. It is completely accurate and can be assembled and disassembled so he could see how an engine works. He knows what he is looking at as a result when my son is working on the truck. The...

OldWin

Glad you are getting some quality time with your family GK. That is what life is all about, my friend. We will be doing the same at the end of April. My son sent a few pics the other day of my grandson sitting under the hood on my boys 85 Chevy K30 while my son was pulling the heads. He is passing t...

OldWin

Yup. I have a lot of different stuff, but the levers and wheel guns are just enjoyable, satisfying, and comforting. I still daily carry revolvers a lot. And in winter, I pack a 4" .357 a good bit of the time. I always fell well armed.

OldWin

Seemed to work ok in my .357 Rossi. See the thread on Bear Creek coated bullets.

OldWin

Sarge's post about his velocities made me question my earlier post about my velocities, and whether they were faster than the plated bullets. Of course, these results were different times of year, and in the case of the revolver, a different gun. I did, however shoot the plated load again at the tim...

OldWin

Haha yeah. I bought a 10" barrel stainless Super Blackhawk for 150 bucks one time. If I hadn't known the guy, I'd of passed thinking it was hot. That's a great feeling, getting your first "serious" handgun. I still remember when my dad got my 629 for my graduation. Back then I had a C...

OldWin

Yup. I loaded some .308s this week. Was going to do some 30-30s today but I had to clean that snow up. Maybe next week. I have to get up to camp next week too. I haven't been in 2 weeks. I should cut a couple trees even if I just leave them. At least they can start drying.

OldWin

I just did my first trial in .357 with Acme coated in both revolver and carbine. I had very positive results with the load I tried. Previously, I was using Rainier (out of business) and Berry's plated 158gr. RN over 6.5gr. of Unique. I used the same load behind the Acme bullets to get a direct compa...

OldWin

Haha oh yeah! It's the same with people everywhere. Nothing is much different working in any kind of industry with people who would rather be somewhere else.
Matter of fact, I'm getting ready to do that now. Man the weeks go by fast!

OldWin

Yeah. The best memories is always other people's fails and problems. We used to love a good pit party crash or collision. But we were REALLY careful where WE parked. Usually backing our trucks and Jeeps out into the woods. Man I hate it when it snows on Friday. It's a real pain with cleanup on work ...

OldWin

Hahaha oh man! That's so bad. The worst part is you know she went back and told all her hot friends. He didn't only "blow it" with her, but the whole hot chick club. Up here, not only would it have been an even chance SHE would have ripped one out, but you'd know cause she would have whipp...

OldWin

Yup. That's what gets em at work too. I e seen more people canned for missed time than anything. We had this one guy on 3rd shift that just couldn't make it in. He was a wicked stoner. Anyway, he was on his last chance and couldn't be a second late. He comes flying in so close to the wire he didn't ...

OldWin

I drink 2 cups in the morning when I get up. In the winter, I sometimes have one in the afternoon too. I drink strong coffee, and black. I notice now that I'm older I have to be more careful or it bothers my stomach. Sometimes I will switch to black tea. I can't function without coffee first thing i...

OldWin

Haha well that would definitely be different buddy!

OldWin

Miss Cornville? Boy, I'm surprised you'd consider such a busy, hustle and bustle life in the public eye. Of course, you'd have to go through her publicist to schedule a meet. She is always scheduled WAY in advance. Tractor pulls, the corn and potato harvests, grand opening of a Family Dollar...........

OldWin

Pretty smooth Walt! Good show. It's funny sometimes what women find important or like. Kristy just doesn't care for expensive gifts or presents. Took me a while to figure it out. She didn't even want a diamond when we got married. Just a plain gold band, and she bought it herself. She likes little t...

OldWin

Hahaha oh man! And on valentines day too! There's some bonus points for you buddy! Now.....OldWin scored some brownie points. While Kristy was sleeping yesterday, I went out and got a few flowers and put em down in the gun room. After she went to work, I put em upstairs so she'd see em when she got ...

OldWin

Respect to those people on both sides. I don't have any family link to Gemany of that time, but being an avid reader ( of books from both sides) of the conflict, I admittedly have a soft spot for the average Frontline Whermacht soldier. It was a much worse conflict for them, and their families, than...
