  1. My article on Bordertown will be out in GUNS -- Old West Annual 2024 in April. @Too Tall Bob In exchange for the even greater recognition this will bring to an already famous match, I expect the shot timer to be started 10 seconds after I start shooting each stage. https://fmgpubs.com/product/old-west-history-guns-gear-2024-special-edition/

  2. Saw an old sailor do something similar in mall in California almost fifteen years go. Three kids were being obnoxious and loud and the old man asked them to tone it down. One kid shoved him and the old man caught the ring and led him to an escalator where he suggested the youngster leave. The boy's friends followed them and when they saw a half dozen of us crusty old farts following them they were pretty mild and left.

  3. Here I sit, having a little snack after having a nice day. I got up early, reloaded 200 rounds of .32 H&R and 140 rounds of 9mm. Went and picked up some 2-cycle oil and some fresh gas for my yard equipment. I even called to verify my Doctors appointment next week and even made my lodging reservations for the TN State. Basically, a good day. YET, while minding my own business (which TW knows nothing about), I get a phone call while eating a Taco to tell me I needed to view The Saloon and defend meowndangself. Well, because nobody really listens to TW, much less believe anything he says, I'll just sit here, finish my taco, drink a cold Pepsi, and enjoy my evening knowing that TW lives 3 1/2 hours away and glad he ain't my neighbor. TW is antsy because he had a colonoscopy today and it nearly gave him a brain concussion. His doctor is Dr. Smellfunkus, notable for his special technique and leaving lipstick marks on cheeks. TW is his favorite patient. Like I've said before........ ya just can't make this stuff up. ..........Widder

  5. Been years now. I was on a trip to the Performance and Racing Industry Show with my brother and a couple of our racing colleagues. We were getting breakfast at a chain breakfast restaurant on the second morning of the show. My brother and I are both above average height and build and are of the same attitude. Our comrades were both more on the slight side and less likely to engage in a confrontation. Three or four of what I assume were local youngsters of that certain age where they believe they are invincible. They took seats at the next table and began to talk loudly and less than politely about us and some of the other people in the restaurant. At one point, the most abusive one stepped over the line of propriety and spoke in a vaguely threatening manner to the oldest of our companions. I paused for a moment and then took a good look at our antagonist. He had a nose ring and several rings in his ear and a chain from one of the ear rings to the one in his schnozz! After a good long minute, I got up as if to go to the bathroom and as I walked by, I reached down and grabbed that chain. I walked that young man out of the establishment by the chain and after a short conversation, I advised him to take his business elsewhere and to take his companions with him. He motioned through the window for them to join him and after a few more words, they departed. When I came back in, I received a few “thank yous” and the waitress brought me an the guys at our table all a slice of pie! My words of wisdom to that gentleman were to the effect that if he was going to start some trouble, he shouldn’t give somebody a handle to grab onto!! I have had pierced ear rings off and on for years. First thing I always did when I recognized that there was to be trouble was to stick my ear ring in my pocket ! Never understood the nose ring thing.

  6. I picked up a prescription today at my pharmacy and the prettiest girl waited on me. Very nice but my lord the nose ring was awful! I wanted to ask her why do you want to ruin such a pretty face with that bull ring in your nose? I bit my tongue

  7. Especially the dark colored ones. They look like fish hooks. I can’t remember a time where I’ve ever thought, “Gee, I’d like to stick a fish hook in my face.”

  11. I absolutely detest the whole body modification business. Now I'll bet that many of you guys have tattoos. And I suppose that's fine. But when I see an otherwise attractive person, woman OR man that is covered with tattoos and piercings, I simply find it displeasing.

  12. A friend of mine had a Kawi Triple 500. He let me ride it for a day. I fell in love with that bike. Man, it was quick. It handled great in the curves and switchbacks. He promised that if he decided to sell it that I got first shot at it. Then that little sonofa…. traded it for a junkyard Datsun Sunbeam. Still pizzes me off.

  16. Motor Scouts F.R. Simms' Motor War Car. Built in 1902, it was one of the first armored cars. That doesn't mean it was any less deadly though: at the front, the armor plating was shaped like and upside-down boat hull, which was meant to help the vehicle push through crowds. The top rim of the armor plate was fitted with rollers to make it hard to climb on, and – the most terrifying of all – the lower rim could be sharpened and electrified, to shock or cut anyone stood near the vehicle. https://militaryhistoria.com/motor-scout-the-first.../

  17. Well, Dear Old Mum didn't TELL me how to cook them, so I was introduced to the learning curve. I didn't learn it, just that that it existed. The second pair of eggs were almost hard-boiled, but better than the first pair, so I made a kind of egg salad. The bacon came out crispy and not burned, so I was pleased. And my tea is Twinings English Breakfast. If it was good enough for the Queen, God Rest Her Royal Majesty's Soul, then it's good enough for me! A comment about your breakfast egg photo: Those yolks are so yellow, they look like eggs from a friend of ours that keeps chickens and feeds them healthy stuff. So much tastier than grocery store eggs. Now I'm hungry again!

  19. Illowa Irregulars enhanced its website four years ago. We started accepting both paper and on-line registrations in late 2022 - in time for the 2023Illinois State Championship. We are taking both online and paper registrations again this year for the 2024 State Championship. My goal was to make signing up as easy as possible using any method the customer wants to use. Last year 56% of registration came in online. This year we are running 66%. In the end, I don't care which form the registrant uses - I just want to provide them with whatever option they are comfortable with and find easy to use. Other nice things about online registrations? The money is deposited automatically into our bank account according to a frequency I select No trips to the bank or fiddling with my phone to do mobile deposit of a hand-written check I can import the registrant's information directly into my registration spreadsheet Actually, more of a download/then link process I don't have to decipher handwriting or worry about making a typing error Waivers are incorporated into the form so with one click, everything is done The shooter can select category and order/pay for extra meals, t-shirts, etc., The shooter gets an instant email acknowledgment I still send them an email confirming our receipt In terms of the credit card fees, we consider the fees a cost of doing business, so we absorb them. We used PayPal in 2022 because it was easier for me to set up at the time. I switched to Stripe this year. Between the two I prefer Stripe. Square's good I'm sure, but WP-Forms has a ready-made integration with Stripe that is provided as part of our subscription level so that is what we're using. I'm very satisfied. I agree with several of the previous comments about the need to have a quality website. IMHO, almost every club should have an easy to access, clean, and well-designed website that provides and makes it easy to find, information about the club matches, scores, and other activities. I (grudgingly) use FB but do so only to enhance our website communications. Virtually all of our FB posts are web posts that autocross-linked to FB, and then point back to our website. I personally would never consider using FB as our primary means of communicating with our shooters or potential shooters (i.e.., as a replacement for our website), but . . . , that's just me. You may feel differently, and if you do I wish you success.

  20. Well, she got up from her nap, grabbed some lunch, and saw the card (ok, just a free card i printedfroma website) and little box on the back of her recliner. Set her lunch down, looked at it closer, "YOU DIDN'T!" she said. Opened the box and got a big silly grin on her face. She hadn't been expecting anything, so she was very surprised. Instantly sat down, grabbed some yarn and took it for a test drive. Success.

  24. Most bridges will collapse when key structural components fail. While it is tragic that people lost their lives, knee jerk reactions are not going to instantly make all bridges 100% failure proof. It is not cost effective to build in a lot of redundancy for every possible failure. Also keep in mind that in 1972 the world's largest container ship was a mere 2950 teu. The Dali is 3 times that size and far from the largest. Currently the largest cargo ships are over 24000 teu. It would have been unthinkable in 1970, that container ships would be the size of the ones currently in use.

  25. Casablanca is one of my all time favorite movies. I have probably watched it 30 or more times. I have the Blue Ray version. This info just makes watching it much more enjoyable. Has to be in the top 10 greatest movies of all time.

  26. Our local Safeway market had it's Easter sale when it sells big hams and prime rib for really cheap prices. I bought a large prime rib and cut it into really nice rib eye steals. The prime rib was on sale for 5.98/pound. It weighed 9.8# and I got 10 nice steaks out of it. Rib Eyes for 5.98 a pound, what a buy! I also cut off the ribs and put them in my smoker and then grill them. We do it every year when they have a sale at Easter and Christmas.
