Good morning all: Please be aware that it has been brought to our attention that there may be an unsavory character trolling the wire forum for "looking to buy" posts. If you post a "WTB" post (Want to buy) - or a post that you are looking for a specific firearm- do your best to know your seller. This individual feigns old age and bad hearing as to why he cannot take a phone call. He will not produce a serial number or pertinent firearm information. He will only accept payment via paypal. The photos he produces of the item he wants to sell you are stock photos off of google. Misty Moonshine

I can only share with the Saloon as if I shared this in any other forum that my dearly beloved would see, I wouldn't survive. So the other day, my bride says to me, what would you think if I changed my hair color to grey? Now me and the missus are in our mid-sixties. So grey hair on a woman of her age and caliber would look natural. For as long as I have known her, she has been a bottle blonde. A real looker. I've never known her as anything else. If she were to let her hair go natural, it would be a mousy brown as that is what her sisters look like. So I thought about this question a moment and I knew there was no correct answer. I was being set up. If I were to say, you look great just the way you are, I'm sure she would reply, what's the matter? Don't you think I'd look good with grey hair? If I said that she would look great with grey hair, I'd bet she would say, what's the matter? Don't you like my hair the way it is? So I took an entirely different approach. Being the time of year it is, I said very carefully and slowly, is Halloween coming early this year? If looks could kill, I'd be dead. She did chuckle after a moment with a reply, I hate you. Hey but I lived!

Sergeant Leigh Ann Hester drove a humvee in a mounted column as it was ambushed by over 50 Iraqi insurgents. She stopped the vehicle and directed her gunner to return fire as bullets and RPGs rained down. Hester got out and fired M203 grenades into the enemy position, then attacked forward with her squad leader. They moved over the berm into the irrigation ditches of an orchard where the ambush originated. Hester worked with her squad leader to clear the ditches, personally eliminating 3 enemy at close quarters. Their assault into the teeth of the ambush disrupted the enemy's momentum and played a key role in stopping the attack. For her initiative and heroic actions, Hester was awarded the Silver Star. She became the first woman to receive the award since WWII. She continued her service in the National Guard, deploying to Afghanistan for 18 months, and to the Virgin Islands in 2017 in the wake of Hurricane Maria. In civilian life, Hester serves as a police officer in her home state of Tennessee.

Not a one since 10/2/19. Just patting myself on the back!

Since the TO stopped the shooter, shooter gets a clean restart (no rounds fired "on the clock")

About 40 years too late, good riddance.

A few years ago T-Bone Dooley and several members of Bar-3's infamous Dooley Gang decided to honor a few Comin At Cha shooters who had made outstanding contributions to Bar-3 and throughout "the SASS world". To make recognition even more distinguished, with the approval and support of Judge Roy Bean, the coveted presentation would also carry The Judge's name along with title of Hall Of Fame. For 2023 the Judge Roy Bean Hall Of Fame's well desiring recipients were as noted below. This year noted an additional category for couples. During ceremonies at Comin At Cha this past weekend beautiful buckles were presented and photos taken for the Hall Of Fame Wall at the Bar-3 Barn.

Crud, the last month has been a madhouse. Started off busy for the first two weeks, than some family emergencies and sicknesses. Even had to cancel being at Comin' at Cha. Thankfully, everything has resolved, and hopefully will remain so. Now to catch up on everything round here.

First he bought Twitter to restore freedom of speech. Yesterday he visited the southern boundary and posted a video of himself shooting "his" .50 BMG. Gathered over 66 million views in less than 24 hours. Now that he supports the 2nd Amendment as well as the 1st the Left reviles him.

Once again, Widder and his money are soon parted when too near TW at a Yard Sale.

............ why would it even get close to your bottom ??? ....... you do realise that peanutbutter is NOT a suppository, ..... right ?

Top picture is almost identical to my neighbor across the street, and my neighbor behind me on the other side of the creek. This is in my yard:

Congratulations to both of those fine young cowboys! Normally I encourage folks to shoot black powder; but in this case I think they should stick to that heathen smokeyless mess for at least 30 years or so

I got no problem with that.

They have to support him after all he is African-American.

"I'm never the leading man. I never get the girl. And I never get to take my shirt off. I started by playing fathers to guys who were 25 years older than I was." Prior to a career in acting, Wilford Brimley dropped out of high school at age 14 and worked as a cowboy in Idaho, Nevada and Arizona. He joined the Marines during the Korean War and served in the Aleutian Islands for three years. He also worked as a bodyguard for businessman Howard Hughes, as well as a ranch hand, wrangler, and blacksmith. He then began shoeing horses for film and television. At the behest of his close friend and fellow actor Robert Duvall, he began acting in the 1960s as a riding extra and stunt man in Westerns. In 1979, he told the Los Angeles Times that the most he ever earned in a year as an actor was $20,000. He had no formal training as an actor, and his first experience in acting in front of a live audience was at the Los Angeles Actors' Theater. In the DVD commentary for "The Thing" (1982), director John Carpenter said Brimley was the only cast member not initially grossed out by the autopsy scene where they used real animal organs. Brimley had been a real-life cowboy and hunter, so gutting animals and removing organs was a normal experience for him. The then reasonably unknown Brimley was cast in the role of Blair because the producers wanted an everyman whose absence would not be questioned by the audience until the appropriate time. The intent with the character was to have him become infected early on off-screen, so that his status would be unknown to the audience, concealing his intentions. Carpenter wanted to cast Donald Pleasence, but it was decided that he was too recognizable to accommodate the role. "I can't talk about acting. I don't know anything about it. I was just lucky enough to get hired." (IMDb/Wikipedia) Happy Birthday, Wilford Brimley!

She won’t run again but I bet her vote is in the mail ! RIP Senator

Well...Bye.

....... two words, ................. speed bump .........

Many years back there was an old veteran of the Confederate Army, a Major of some repute, who had never been north of the Mason-Dixon line. He were his uniform proudly to any and all civic events, spoke knowingly and well to many, was considered a perfect Southern Gentleman under every circumstance, and was treated as a cherished historical member of a time gone by. His great grandson adored the old man and spent as much time as as possible at his knee. As the old gent approached his 100th Birthday the boy decided to honor his great grandfather with a trip to New York City to see the sights. After some discussion the old man finally agreed and the trip was funded by a number of citizens' groups. The trip included the finest rooms and meals, personalized transportation and tours, meetings with dignitaries, and press coverage fit for royalty. On the final day a small motorcade escorted them to the train station where they walked through the terminal to the gate. Near the end was a totally destroyed old man in the worn and tattered tattered remains of a Union uniform. Missing and warped limbs and scars and a blind eye, riding a plywood platform with rusty casters, filthy almost beyond description, the old Yankee vet was a sad and distressing sight to behold. A rusty old cup was on the platform at his feet with a handwritten sign: Please help a veteran of the Grand Army of the Republic. The oldRebel Major walked by, stopped and turned back, stood there a moment, a then dropped a ten dollar bill into the derelict's cup before returning on the trip to the train. The great grandson was dumbfounded and moved to comment "Sir, I have never before seen you do any charitable thing for any Yankee." The old man turner to the boy and said "Sonny, that's because I never before saw a Damned Yankee shot up to my entire satisfaction!"

I liked him in Crossfire Trail. I have taken one of his lines from the movie and made it my own. ”Well see, If you take your time, you get a more harmonious outcome.”

From their FB page If you are going to get incredibly intoxicated at the bar and then drive home, we have a suggestion for you: On your way home when you inevitably stop at that Mcdonald's for some McNuggets, a McDouble and a McFlurry, make sure the Mcdonalds is actually open. All of the lights being off and no one around would be a clue. Then, when you sit in the drive thru at the closed Mcdonalds for 15 minutes honking your horn and cussing because no one is taking your order, make sure there isn't a police cruiser parked 20 feet away watching you fail miserably. After your failed attempt at getting food from the closed restaurant, do not squeal your tires out of the parking lot, over a curb and out onto the roadway. That is how you end up at the jail and the jail does not have any McFlurries. #McFailed

Is it just me or are the colors on the flag a little brighter today?

A) 10 second Procedural for "Shooting targets in the wrong order." SHB p.21 "Appropriate type" targets were HIT with each shot fired.

Can’t wait!!
