  1. My pard, Forty, just called! When it rains, IT POURS!! He’s been fighting an infection for some time that has resisted all forms of oral medication. Until now, it has been a low grade form that has defied identification. Apparently, it has become bad enough that his doctors have decided to put him in the hospital and go at it aggressively with IV antibiotics! He’s one of the cowboys that has called to check on Schoolmarm and me, practically every day and sometimes more often! He won’t have access to a computer and his cell phone is steam driven with a kerosene boiler, so he’s virtually incommunicado! You guys pulled me ‘n’ Schoolmarm through our roughest time and I know what you can do!! PLEASE ! Offer up a prayer for one of the monuments in our community!! I will be checking with him daily to see how he’s doing and sending on the power of the prayers you have sent for us!!

  2. Visibility is key. It’s 2024 if your club doesn’t have a Facebook or other social media presence you’re not going to reach future shooters. Your club should be posting videos after every monthly match. Even during the off season. Your page should state when your club shoots, WHERE YOUR CLUB IS LOCATED WITH AN ADDRESS THAT CAN BE PUT IN A GPS. List any specific club rules, and a point of contact. Does your club have an annual match? Again it’s 2024! You need to be able to register online, and pay immediately. Young people will not print out an app, write a check, and mail an envelope.

  3. I found this on FB. A very good little article about dog ownership Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality: ***I am a 21st century dog.*** -I'm a Malinois. Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work. But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday. -I am an Akita Inu. My ancestors were selected for fighting bears. Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me. -I am a Beagle. When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow. Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers. -I am a Yorkshire Terrier. I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines. Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms. -I'm a Labrador Retriever. My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master. Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit. -I am a Jack Russell. I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den. Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog. -I am a Siberian Husky. Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds. Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane. -I am a border collie I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd. Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion. I am ... I am a 21st century dog. I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead. Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy. I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow. You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing. If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me! If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME. I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within. So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

  4. Cholla, I appreciate it brother but Hoss is correct. After 20+ yrs of Law Enforcement my skin is pretty thick. It will sell for sure, I just thought I’d discount it $100 per bottle from what a cowboy would have to pay on GB. If a cowboy doesn’t want it for that then I’ll post it on GB at full price and make more money !!!

  5. Okay , everybody!! I just got off the phone with Forty! He sounded pretty good and he was in good spirits! He’s in the NorCal District VA hospital in Prescott. He told me that they have made some excellent progress and that he already is feeling much better. He figures to be in the hospital for at least another week! That’s all I have for now!! Keep it up!!

  6. That too would be ruined… Over heard at a dueling match: 1. “The target is too far away. We need the targets closer!” 2. “Well, if you want to win you need an original maker pistol slicked up by Mad Mac McSingleshot. Not one of those Chinese clones.” 3. “These garments are too heavy.” 4. “These garments are too light.” 5. “He’s using loads that are outside rule parameters. I can tell. 6. “The sun is always in my eyes at these matches. That’s why I never win.” 6. “These aren’t sunglasses! These are Transitions lenses. There’s a difference!” 7. “Hey, he’s not using mouse fart loads! That stung!” 8. “Why can’t we use rifles? This is two to three times the distance of rifle targets in regular matches! 9. “They didn’t wear protective gear in 1880. Why do we need it now?” 10. “They need to restrict this to .32 caliber maximum. Those .45 caliber wax bullets are too much.” 11. “I want his wax formula tested. I think he’s using straight paraffin. That was banned!” 12. “I am tired of these wax gamers. We need a standard formula!” 13. “I think he’s opened his primer pockets too far and he’s using magnum primers. This is unfair! We need standards for primer pocket hole sizes.” 14. “I remember when this game was fun. The Gamers took over and ruined it!” 15. “Hey! Short people have an advantage! Their targets are closer so they have a better hit ratio. We need standardized dueling distances!” Otto sux!

  7. Springtime in the Rockies, right? We got an upslope snowstorm...still in progress...along the Front Range, including Denver & vicinity. At lease 18 inches according to the TV, and I think more like 24"...so far. Supposed to snow all night! At 81-1/2 there is no way I'm ridin' down coronary gulch trying to shovel that stuff off my front porch, much less the driveway. Dogs started barkin' looking out the front storm door. It's our neighbors five of them with snow blowers and shovels, clearing out most of the white stuff! Can't ask for better than that! Will have to do something for them...probably Easter baskets with some goodies in them that my wife likes to put together. Supposed to stop tomorrow, and then warm up into the 50's and 60's next week. Glad we live on relatively high ground. Folks downhill might need to consider buying a boat when it all melts!

  8. Stolen from the internet… Dolphins Help Save Dog from Drowning! On Marco Island, Florida a group of dolphins came to the aid of a lost Dog that had fallen into a canal and couldn't get out. The dolphins made so much noise, it attracted the attention of people living nearby, who then rescued the dog. The Dog was believed to have spent 15 hours in the canal water before he was pulled out by fire personnel and reunited with his owner. One of the people whose attention was captured by the noisy, demonstrative dolphins said, "They were really putting up a ruckus, almost beaching themselves on the sandbar over there. If it wasn't for the dolphin, I would have never seen the dog.” (Source: ABC7news) He said also if the dolphins hadn't persisted enough to get their attention, they dog would have died in the canal. The dog had fallen over the edge of a concrete wall down into the water far enough that it had no chance of getting back up by itself. The dog was exhausted from being in the cold water for hours, and most likely suffering from hypothermia. Dolphins have been known to sometimes help stranded or injured people as well. In 2007, a pod of dolphins formed a ring around a surfer who was injured and bleeding after being bitten by a Great White shark. The surfer survived because they prevented further bites. No one knows exactly why dolphins have intervened in such emergency situations, and helped save the lives of other species. Suffice to say they are capable of empathy and heroic actions.

  9. Here’s the latest from 4T!! They seem to have found some answers. The infection is viral, as opposed to bacterial and is in his bloodstream. From what I gathered in our conversation tonight, they’re treating him with appropriate IV medication. The outlook is now more positive. He says that they might have him out of the hospital by this coming weekend. He also told me that his local network of friends is caring for his little dog, that he’s receiving excellent care and attention, and that folks he’s spoken to are giving him some new places to dine and reminding him of some that he’d forgotten! This last item indicates to me that he is on the road to recovery because when he’s thinking of places to eat, he intends to go and try them out!! He said that I should warn all of you that he ain’t that easy to get rid of!!

  10. WELLL! Schoolmarm lied!! She said she wasn’t going to cook again for a few days. While I was gone all day, yesterday, she did biscuits, bacon, and sliced up some tomatoes! Hatfield brought home a big mess of fried chicken tenders last night. I had chicken biscuits with bacon, tomato, and cheese for supper last night! The home health lady just finished rebandaging my foot. Said it looked good.

  11. In the california public school system there exists an interesting thing known as the “Fourth Grade Mission Project.” During the fourth grade, kids engage in a study of the California Missions, write a report and either individually or as teams construct a model of one of the missions. In preparation for this, during the summer of 2002 between third and fourth grades, Sassparilla Kid’s mom and I took him to three different missions on weekend trips. And I helped guide the Kid in preliminary research and search for plans and materials for his project. Well, with the school year underway, the day came for the assignments. At supper that night, we eagerly asked the Kid which mission he had chosen. His reply was NOT what I expected: “Dad! They announced that they were gonna try something different this year! We got to choose from some ‘non-mission’ projects, and I picked somethin’ else really cool!” Hmph. So much for preparation. Okay… so what project did you get…? “Well, Dad – I chose the Transcontinental Railroad! Wanna help me?” I did, and it WAS cool. Beyond the academic guidance, I happened to have a resource: a good buddy who had a railroad history, of sorts. When Bob was a kid, his dad bought an old lumber camp, and built the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. Buying and restoring a couple of old Shay locomotives, he turned it into a dandy tourist attraction with two miles of track. After he retired, his oldest son, Max, continued to run the operation. (Max and Bob actually lived and grew up on site). So I called Bob, and asked if he could arrange for the Kid to interview Max. He did, and on the scheduled Saturday, we presented ourselves at Max’s house on site. Over a nice breakfast, the Kid interviewed Max about steam railroad; history, operations, and more. When the coffee and cocoa were done, Max asked the Kid if he’d like a tour of the shop and a locomotive – of course he would! And then came something really neat: Max showed the Kid how to do a pre-firing inspection of the Shay locomotive scheduled for the morning runs; checking lubricating oil, grease, fuel oil and water levels, brakes… the entire list. And when they completed the cab check, under his close direction, Max actually had the Kid fire off the oil burner. They kept busy with a multitude of tasks and lectures, until finally enough steam was raised to move the engine – at which time Max had the Kid “drive” the locomotive out of the barn and into position to start the day. There’s something special about watching your ten-year old operate a real steam locomotive – that was terrific day. In all, the Kid spent several delightful hours with Max and his toys. One week later, off to the Rail Museum in Sacramento for more "research." Another fulfulling trip, and the youngster was able to find a great deal of information and material for his project. But, at one point after the “work” part of the trip was over, we found ourselves walking around Southern Pacific 4294 - "The Million Pound Beast." And a really cool beast she is! When we climbed into 4294’s very spacious cab we noted a really bored looking docent perched on a stool, studiously ignoring us and another small family. The Kid looked about, and began describing to me the various gauges and controls. “Yeah, Dad, here’s the steam heat gauge, the steam pressure gauge, the water level sight glass…. brake lever, the Johnson bar, of course, and here’s the reverser…” and so on. I listened attentively, and surprisingly, so did the bored docent – he was sideways focused on fourth-grader lecturing his dad. Eventually, he stepped back, put his fists on his hips, looked about, and declared “ya know, some of it might be bigger, but this is pretty much the same as that Shay locomotive I was driving last weekend.” When he said that, there was a loud “thump!” as the docent’s boots hit the deck, and with an astonished look on his face he burst out “What! What did you say, kid? You got to drive a Shay!?” Startled the heck outta both of us, but led into a lengthy discussion and personalized teaching session between the grizzled old railroader and the kid. What fun! Oh - and the Kid got an A++ on his report and project.

  14. Best night’s sleep either of us has had in a month or more!! No nurses waking either of us up to take our vitals! No sitting around, worrying about how the other is doing! Back to sleeping in our own bed!! The coffee pot was on when I came into the kitchen, (I don’t drink it, but it’s part of the normal morning around here)! There was real food to be had for breakfast! I don’t have to load up and drive to the hospital!! There’s still a lot of recovery to get done, but… and y’all are the ones to thank for it!!

  15. Thanks pards one and all for the suggestions, but the boss was having none of that "Please can I have exactly what I had before" ....... Turned down the insert shank to a thou oversize - Test fitting for a friction fit - Parted off - Had to hand file off the nub that I always get from parting off, the piece being so tiny was a problem to hold so I used some masking tape and to get it in place and then sandwiched between some wood offcuts and after filing gave it a polish - Looking good - Used some Loctite 638 Retaining Compound, along with the friction fit I hope that it stays in place. At least if it doesn't I know I can make another one now......and back on the barrel -

  18. A few years ago, Schoolmarm and I took what for her was a bucket list trip! She had just finished up breast cancer treatment and decided it was time to go see some of the WEST! Along our itinerary were stops to visit a few of the people that we had become acquainted with on the Wire! We ended up staying with Forty and his little dog, Trinket, for a few days!! As a result, Schoolmarm is enamored with that ol’ cuss and we talk on the phone with him, sometimes four or five times a week!! We both consider him among our closest friends!!

  19. Looks to me from the grainy photos that this is copper fouling on the lands from jacketed rounds already fired. The very few reddish streaks that occur in the grooves of the barrel run lengthwise down the barrel. Rust would not create a uniform narrow streak in the middle of a groove. That copper fouling on the lands would not concern me, in itself. But I doubt Ruger would have shipped the gun without cleaning the fouling out of the barrel! This gun has been shot and is not new. The "rings" are not what would be expected on a new barrel, for sure. Because these marks are uniformly occurring on both the groove and the land sections of the barrel, this could not have been a manufacturing defect, most likely, but was caused by squibbed (stuck) bullets "shot into" with regular power loads fired behind the stuck bullets. If they are deep-enough rings to hurt accuracy, you would feel it if you pushed a tight cleaning patch both directions in the barrel. The cleaning rod would jump forward slightly at some points in the stroke - an uneven amount of pressure needed to move the cleaning rod and patch. If you indeed have rings which moved the barrel metal out in several spots, this would also say this was not a NEW gun, and more importantly, that a customer abused the gun and ringed the barrel, then returned it to the gun shop. That certainly should be remedied by the seller (or manufacturer if needed) - provide an actual new gun to replace this used one. I'd suggest, though, that you not clean the gun or do any other work on it until you get action from the gun dealer, or perhaps Ruger themselves. good luck, GJ

  20. Big shout out to the Texas Trouble Makers, Old Fort Parker Patriots, Oakwood Outlaws, and Nomad's Tactical range! Last week we did a five day, 2A CAS class for 23 students from/at the MS and HS in which I teach. Did NRA Basic Pistol Monday, shot it Tuesday at Nomads then bought them all Cowboy hats on the way home. (Boot Barn gave us %15 off...and the students were on a budget!) Wednesday CAS and 22 challenge at the Trouble Makers. Thursday at Fort Parker, then ended at Oakwood. We had an awards ceremony with hotdogs at Oakwood. First time some of the students had touched a gun, and some had never cooked beef hotdogs over a fire before! Good week, great people. I call it a CAS Teen Limited match=Limited because everyone shoots 2 handed, 22 pistols and rifles, then sxs 12. Three stages each place with a 'team' stage. Three groups; older men, younger men, and ladies. Next time we do it I think we will at least invite any 18 and unders who want too, to join us. This is our 2nd time. Went from 9 two years ago to over 20 this time. Some pics below. See Oakwood for more and better pics. Btw all the local people at the CAS clubs volunteered their time, some brought their own guns, prizes, food...all out of the goodness of their hearts. This post is the only thanks they get and they didn't even ask for it! Super people. God is good!

  22. My mother was a first grade teacher for almost forty years. After my parents both retired they travelled to many places they dreamed of. They got some really affordable tours through the college where Dad had been a professor. One was to Japan. As the tourists were being sorted out a young Japanese man wearing a beautifully tailored suit (Mom noticed those kinds of things) walked though the crowd and asked in nearly perfect English (she noticed those things, too) "Excuse me,Ma'am, are you Edna Taylor". She said she was. He introduced himself by name and said "Mrs. Taylor, you taught me to speak English". His father had been exchange student at USU and enrolled the boy in a local school...Mom's school. Mom assigned a boy and girl to "tutor" him and modified her curriculum to help. After a month she changed out the "tutors" because everyone wanted their turn to help him. His mother would come and sit in on the classes a lot, and they both learned English together. Mom asked what he was doing now and he told her he and his father owned the tour company that was taking their group around, and that he was going to take her group personally. Mom asked if that was going to take work away from someone else and he told her that the girl who was to lead then was a new guide and she would be coming along as his assistant at full pay. I never heard much about what Mom got out the grand tour of Japan, but she could tell you everything she learned about this guy and his family. They exchanged mail for several years before Mom got Alzheimers. Thank you Hideo. I apologize for not remembering you last name.

  27. As found on FB. True? I don't know. Nor do I care. Even if the events are fictional, the message is true. One day, a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the Nicest Thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday, she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. “Really?” she heard whispered. “I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!” and “I didn’t know others liked me so much,” were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. The teacher never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn’t matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on. Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature. The church was packed with his friends. One by one, those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin. As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. “Were you Mark’s math teacher?” he asked. She nodded, “yes.” Then he said, “Mark talked about you a lot.” After the funeral, most of Mark’s former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark’s mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher. “We want to show you something,” his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. “They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.” Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded, and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark’s classmates had said about him. “Thank you so much for doing that,” Mark’s mother said. “As you can see, Mark treasured it.” All of Mark’s former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, “I still have my list. It’s in the top drawer of my desk at home.” Chuck’s wife said, “Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album.” “I have mine too,” Marilyn said. “It’s in my diary” Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. “I carry this with me at all times,” Vicki said and, without batting an eyelash, she continued, “I think we all saved our lists.” That’s when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again. The Density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don’t know when that one day will be. So please, tell the People you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late. And One Way To Accomplish This Is: Forward this message on. If you do not send it, you will have, once again, passed up the wonderful opportunity to do something nice and beautiful. If you’ve received this, it is because someone cares for you, and it means there is probably at least someone for whom you care. If you’re ‘Too Busy’ to take those few minutes right now to forward this message on, would this be the VERY first time you didn’t do that little thing that would make a difference in your relationships? The more people that you send this to, the better you’ll be at reaching out to those you care about. Remember, You Reap What You Sow. What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.

  28. well I forgot my pants and misplaced an SKB which turned out I had left in Louisiana. RRR bought a new gun safe that fit in the back of his truck. We had to go to Lowe and get a saw, blades and batteries to saw it open as the keys were in Baton Rouge. TB slept outside 3 nights as the other guy sharing a bedroom had a bad cough and was very loud. somebody left their pistols in the rent house and we had to get them before we could start that day. we had another buddy whose ammo he purchased at the match caused him 9 misses. and another pal had some powder ignite from an old charge in a cap and ball pistol at the loading table when he was clearing the cylinder. i ejected two live rounds from my rifle and had to make them up. I bought two pair of 357s and have now decided to shot 45s. We all had a fantastic time and great memories. and I found my pants !! Irish ☘️ Pat

  29. Schoolmarm had a pretty good day today. I could tell that she was a little bit let down after getting home yesterday, but she was up early this morning and she took the dog out first thing! She fixed herself some toast and jam for breakfast and made out a shopping list for Hatfield to take to the store. She had soup and an orange at lunch and she drank water and an orange soda. She fixed a pulled pork sandwich for supper and we watched the first episode of Masters of the Air. I did some chores and finished up the dishes. I have to do everything from the scooter or sit on a stool, so it takes some doing to get some things done. More time than anything. Foot doc in the morning! We’ll have to leave here at 6:30 , so I’m shutting things down and getting ready to turn in. Not too bad for the first full day at home!

  30. I have two of the Ruger Marlins. One is a 336 for hunting. The other is a 1894 classic I plan to use in SASS. The fit and finish on both is excellent. The 336 went to a smith in Montana that works hunting rifles. He did an action and trigger job on the rifle. He also usually smooths the bore a bit, hand lapping, to make Marlins shoot lead bullets better. He sent my money back for the bore saying he wouldn’t feel right about charging me for the little bit of work he did on the bore. He had high praise for the rifle. I have been working up hunting loads for this rifle and it is the most accurate Marlin I have ever owned. Being 57, an avid hunter and a big fan of the 336 for woods hunting, I have owned a few Marlins. I have had some good and some not so good. This 336 is the best I have ever had my hands on. the 1894 is on its way to Longhunter in Texas to be Sassorized. For the short time I handled it and put a bore scope in it I found it to be of the same quality that the 336 was. I know that Ruger took two years to put out the first rifle after they had bought Marlin. They were aware of the problems Remington had and the damage that did to Marlin’s reputation. They are not going to take chances and put out junk. They have built in a lot of quality control. I called them about the marks on my loading gate and they explained they shoot the guns before they leave the factory. The nice rep said I could send it back if I wanted. I said no worries. My 357 shot two boxes of 38’s really well and I am not giving it back. I am sure it will only improve after Longhunter does his magic. there are four Marlins in my gun safe. One is a pretty good JM that I had to got through three different rifles over the years to find. One is a later years Remington made 45-70 that my smith was able to make into a pretty good rifle. My Two Ruger made Marlins are the best of the bunch. I know people are bitching about the 1200 dollar msrp of the new rifles but I have had good JM’s and bad JM’s and they are going for 1500. I paid a little under a grand for my new Marlin and I think it’s one of the best Marlins I have ever owned.
