A long time ago when 1911's and Wild Bunch was starting to surface a match decided to make a side match stage. Just 1911's. One stage. Fastest wins the Cadillac. So me knowing I won't drive home in a Cadillac loaded up some BP rounds. Shooting through a window, TO snuggles up to make sure the typical mouse fart loads are heard. And timer goes off. And BOOM! The TO jumps back maybe thinking I blew the gun up. Me I kept blazing away. He was rattled and the look on his face was a XXX moment. And yes 1911's get dirty real quick with BP.

Texas on its path to provide more green enery built some huge solar panel sites. Hail storm with wind basically destroyed a site. Causing local folk to be without power!

depending on their age Holstein calves are raised to become "veal" cuts of meat. My opinion but the process is horrible and abusive to the animals.

Theres a locksmith on YouTube who's specialty is opening safes. For a key pad, he checks the battereis. If they're good. he takes the pad off. Connects an electronic thing that starts running number combos. Takes about 10 minutes. He puts the keypad back and then opens the safe. If its a spin dial he drills a hole and moves the tumblers into alignment. $$$$$

Get Your Prostate Checked! Mine Tried to Kill Me!
irish ike, SASS #43615 replied to Null N. Void's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
As we all get older the chance of getting prostate cancer increases. Men 70 or older account for 43% of all U.S. prostate cancer cases. I had the lets go often deal. Did the PSA test and I was at 8? lets watch it. Doc. did digital exam and he felt something. As the doc explained the digital exam only allows one side of the Prostate to be examined. PSA first and then Biopsies. Anyway I learned there are 5 types of cancer in prostates. Each one worse than the next. I had the 4th worst yay! Radiation every day for 9 weeks. They do it in small doses over longer time to reduce impact on your system. I was put on hormone therapy. Basically turning your man stuff off and making you a woman? Was supposed to do that for 2 years but. It has some weird side effects. Muscle atrophy. I could hardly walk after 15 months.stopped that. All clear now for 4 years PSA is .001. Prostate cancer is very curable but, if not found and dealt with it can release cancer cells which your lymph nodes pick up. And then stuff gets real serious. Get a PSA test. -
Whats really sad is a hobbyist builds a 1/4 scale fighter jet, B-17 etc. They may have $20K in the thing. It goes up and suddenly something fails and it comes down....horribly.

Ahhh. the Aesop fable of the Ant and the grasshopper. When primers were hard to get I had bought 5,000 each time I went to the gun show before the shortage. Being a blackpowder shooter I bought 50 lbs of mixed 2F and 3F. And then bought more. I quit shooting do to health. I can't ship the stuff but I have been selling it to the local shooters for $20/lb. Same with primers. DOesn't do ya'll any good but.....when it comes back buy, buy, buy.

I read the article. My point is were the Apollo missions lucky in that the moon was closer?

He did this same thing once before right after he and his wife separated. He's a sports celebrity. Nothing will happen to him.

"sending humans the farthest they've ever been from our home planet" Huh? The other Moon missions were closer?

OH I see, someone with an alternative thought about a sporting event is inadequate!.. Nothing like an understanding group pf people who support the 1st amendment and alternative thoughts. Thank you for your person bias. And again baseball. A big yawn fest.

When Elon bought Twitter he laid off 80% of the staff. Around 6,500 workers. Funny thing is the site kept functioning as well as it did pre-firings???????? Almost sounds like it was staffed like any Federal Department!

Theres a young man on YouTube who makes a good living digging old outhouse pits for bottles. He'll research old town maps to locate houses. And or wlak around, with permission, old hoses built back when out houses were a thing. Usually see a depression in the ground. For some reason people i guess burned what they could and tossed bottles, whiskey, medicine, food etc into the pit.

The Sunbody straw hats, that most wear, are only $100. Splash a little water in them and they become evaporative coolers in the summer. Mucho shade also. -
Baseball. Is this the sporting event where 2 guys play catch and if a 3rd guy, opposition, hits the ball 25% of the time he's a superstar?
