I just pulled a batch out of wet tumbler. I had 45 colt / 45 acp and 30 cases of 44-40. I did not think a problem because the case tolerances are so tight it would be extremely unlikely that cases would interfere with each other. (Deep Breath here) Well………...28 of the 44-40 cases ended up in a mixed marriage. Will jot down another reason 44-40 is bad for mental health. LOL

That’s the bonus you get for choosing Chicago.

Here ya go Widder, I fixed it fer ya .......Kajun In my best Charlie Farquharson voice (of Hee Haw's KORN news fame)....Beepadeedeedeedeepadeep....this news just in from WNN (Widder News Network..... "TW has decided to give 1/2 price deals on Chicken toenail clippers and Possum Dentures, for those whose pet Possum has lost its teeth. TW has his own brand of Chicken Nail Clippers (CNC). His vending hours will vary, depending on when he's not hugging babies, kissing women or fiddling with chickens."

The Highways to Hell.

Have any of you heard the rumor that TW is gonna have a 'vendor spot' this year at the TN State. Apparently his new business is gonna have a vendor trailer set up representing his new business "Pet Traders, Inc." Although not a special 'Cowboy Match Special', he'll have his normal deals of trading a Banty Rooster for a few young chicks. He claims his 'Banty's can crow better than any Banty out of Alabama or Georgia. I'll have to see it to believe it. BUT, to get approval to set up a vendor spot, he was required to have a couple special deals. Sooooo, TW has decided to give 1/2 price deals on Chicken toenail clippers and Possum Dentures, for those whose pet Possum has lost its teeth. TW has his own brand of Chicken Nail Clippers (CNC). His vending hours will vary, depending on when he's not hugging babies and kissing women. I have not been compensated for this advertisement but rather do it as a free public service. Your Welcome! ..........Widder

The Roman's used slings that used lead bullets. These bullets are found on ancient battlefields all over the empire. A skilled man with a sling could hit a man-sized target at 130 yards. The bullets were effective in volley fire at over 400 yards. These are unusal in that they are inscribed with the name of Julius Caesar and were found in Spain on the battlefield where Caesar defeated Pompey's legions. Most of these bullets had curses engraved on them.

FB find Although the Martin B-26 Marauder did not make its first flight until Nov. 25, 1940, its design showed such promise that the Air Corps ordered 1,131 B-26s in September 1940. The B-26 began flying combat missions in the Southwest Pacific in the spring of 1942, but most were subsequently assigned to Europe and the Mediterranean. In 1945, when B-26 production was halted, 5,266 had been built. The Marauder on display was flown in combat by the Free French during the final months of WWII. It was obtained from the Air France airline's training school near Paris in June 1965. It is painted as a 9th Air Force B-26B assigned to the 387th Bomb Group in 1945.

The floating crane YD-171, better known as "Herman the German", at the Long Beach Navy Yard in 1957. At the start of the Second World War, Germany built four heavy lift floating cranes. Herman the German was originally known as Schwimmkran nr. 1 and was completed in 1941. She was used to repair German warships and submarines in the Baltic. She was based out of Kiel at the end of the war and captured there by the British along with a sistership. Given to the United States, the crane was dismantled and shipped all the way to the Long Beach Navy Yard. The crane was reassembled at Long Beach in 1946, entering service as YD-171. The crane operated at the Long Beach Navy Yard from 1946 until 1994. Following the closure of the shipyard, the crane was sold to the Panama Canal Commission. She was used to replace two older cranes that were used to perform repairs to the canal locks. Arriving in Panama, the crane was renamed Titan. Titan is still working on the Panama Canal today. She is capable of lifting 340 long tons. While the platform she rests upon has been rebuilt and modernized with new propulsion units, the mechanical components of the crane are largely original. Titan has operated for over eighty years and shows no sign of slowing anytime soon.

Liberals often say they are open to hearing opinions on both sides of a topic. Then they are flabbergasted to learn that there actually are contrary opinions.

That device they put in your vehicle does a lot more than just the things you've said. It also tracks your speed (knows if you're driving over the limit via gps), braking habits (late braking, heavy braking), acceleration (heavy on the gas when traveling, jackrabbit starts), idling habits while stopped, times of all travel, tracks your exact location at all times and various other types of data that I would consider intrusive overreach. It could also be used against you (or for you) in the event of a claim or incident. No way that I would sign up for it. Big brother at it's finest.

Pretty much any Judge or Magistrate can.

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there. And true…

My insurance company has a program were they attach some kind of doohickey to your car, and that allows them to keep track of how far you drive and where you drive. The theory being that if you don't drive very far or if you don't drive it to dangerous areas, there's less risk of your car being damaged or stolen, so they can make your premium less. But I don't want my insurance company, or the government, or my next door neighbor, or anybody else knowing how far I drive and where I go. So I have opted not to sign up for that program, and I have to pay more. Kind of sucks.

Okay, when you get a stuck case inside another, grab your handy dandy ACME kinetic bullet pullet, yeah the old hammer type, and smack it a couple times. It will pop right out.

Ann Wilson was, and may still be, one of the best female vocalists of all time. Nancy Wilson (her sister) is one of the most accomplished female guitarists of all time. Together, they both form Heart. If you've never heard them, you're missing out on gem of a band.

It was perfect for us BP shooters with winds that kept the targets visible. Thank you @Shooting Iron Miller for making it such a fun shoot.

The 40-65 cartridge is favored for its lighter recoil and somewhat similar ballistics as a 45-70.

I used a nail set to tap it in. Was afraid also of damaging pin, its tight. This Handy dandy should make it easier to remove and reset pin.

Okay Okie you can just tip toe outta here now!

Robert Muldoon, long time ago Prime Minister of New Zealand, who said after being asked if he was concerned about the large numbers of New Zealanders migrating to Australia, replied “no, it had the effect of raising the average IQ of both countries.”

I renewed my SASS membership today and ordered my 20yr pin. I got into an interesting conversation about life membership while I was on the phone. I suggested that they should set up an installment plan similar to the one that I participated in for my NRA life membership. I was told that it has and is being considered!! Being on a fixed income, the nut is a little too steep for some of us, myself included, but a monthly or quarterly payment schedule would be doable. If enough of us can make the request, perhaps the powers that be will come up with a plan that would let us do it!!

Once in a while, I get an unforeseen 9 mm stuck in a 45 caliber when I’m dry tumbling. I turn my Tumbler on and then hold the 45 case up of against the center stud. In about 10 to 15 seconds, I can pull the 9 mm out easily. Uriah

Sacrifice nothing .... As set Armorer, responsibility for the weapons was always on her shoulders.

Yep, done that more than once! Stopped shootin’ 45s, and it stopped happening. 44-40 is a better caliber anyway!

proper Englishman, wandering the heaths of Scotland, walks into a pub. “My good man,” he says. “I hear you have 100 year-old Scotch. I would love a bit.” The pub owner takes down a glass and pours an ounce. After a sip, the Englishman says, “Oh my. My dear fellow! That is 20 year-old Scotch! I am here for the 100 year-old!” The pub owner shakes his head, pulls another glass and bottle, and pours the libation. the Englishman takes a sip and declares: “Oh! No! That is 50 year-old Scotch. I want the 100 year-old one. You have it, haven’t you?” The pub owner, now cowed, pulls down another glass and a dusty bottle. He wipes off the bottle and pours it into the glass. The Englishman takes a sip and sighs. “Ah. Now that’s the right stuff! Glorious!” The man next to him nudges him and points to the glass he has pushed over. “Try that!” The Englishman takes a sip and spits it out. “Plah! That’s pi55!” The man replies: “Now tell me how old I am!”

... but when I was a kid, rainbows were in black and white.

The light in our older LG refrigerator works very rarely. I’ve changed bulbs and replaced the switches in the hinges to no avail. We’ve had 2 different repair outfits out and they want anywhere from $800.00 to $1,100.00 upfront to order a board that they say might or might not solve the problem, no guarantees. So I found these motion sensing LED lights on Amazon and for about $60.00 I fixed the problem. The lights are rechargeable and the charge lasts quite awhile and Mrs. Lose is very pleased. My stepson and his wife have been complaining about the same problem and they took my advice and did the same thing.

I remember going up Kettle Hill with T.R. Bully, Bully! fun fact: T.R. was the only President to win the Nobel Peace Prize and earn the Medal of Honor

What the repair pukes aren't telling you, the little guy in the fridge that turns the light on and off quit. You gotta hire a new one.

One of Wartrace favorite sons and World Champion Duelist, TN Williams, got injured this morning. You won't believe it, but he was injured while drinking milk. The cow stepped on him. Another true story. Just ask Krazy Kajun..... ya just can't make this stuff up! ..........Widder
