  1. I sum up super speedways like this. Watch the start and the first 15 laps.  Turn the sound off. Do something else. Come back at 25 laps to finish when the race actual happens.  The race isn't won by the best driver, fastest car, or best team. Its won by getting through the big one. As Byron did.  And as usual they need an extended race to finish because the cautions ran them past 200 laps.

  2. Maybe the wrong place but, all you Schofield guys; I want to sell my Uberti 7" Schoefields in 44-40. They have had the internals re-worked  to allow your finger to touch the trigger without locking up.

     

    Any ideas on an asking price for these?

    Thanks

  3. Ya'll's mindset is pouring a cup of coffee. 90% of the people in line aren't getting a cup of coffee. Thats called an Americano. So, espresso, lattte. Mocachino, added flavors, double shots, teas. etc. 

    Also the big thing is convenience. Who here has a real latte or espresso machine at home? Regular coffee made on an espresso machine is far better than "brewed" coffee that sits in a pot. Its fresh and lava hot.

    Their brewed coffees have multiple flavors you can ask for. So you don't have 4 bags of beans sitting at home going stale.

     

    Its not abut being part of the in crowd. Its getting coffee and food you can't get at home without a lot of hassle and expense.

    Me, chai tea latte with a shot of espresso!

  4. I have heard of Outlaw, Josey Wales, Tom Horn etc. Our annual match we offer Tom Horn. Single shot or lever, BP or smokeless all big bore calibers. About 30% of our shooters shoot these categories.

     

    I'll stir the pot.  Going  to EOT or the like is a great experience.  I never thought I'd win. But shooting with some of the nations best was an experience. So someone wants to shoot EOT but can't shoot a shotgun. At the end of the day its 4 minutes +/- of penalties.  There is no way they would be in contention for a some bling.  Let them shoot.  Same for someone in a wheelchair with someone assisting them.  For many folk its the fun factor.

    I often hear complaints that this isn’t considered a livable wage

    I see posts like this all the time on Facebook.  I always ask, 'can someone define what a living wage is and what it pays for'?  Never get an answer.

  6. 1914 Ford offered $5/day for workers. That was unheard of. They brought out the local Guard/Army to help control the crowds wanting to work.

    1968 I went to work at a gas station while still in HS Senior year. $1.5/hr min. wage. Within a few weeks he hands me the keys and says your now night manager. Shift was 4 to 10pm.  I got bumped to $1.65/hr.  Sure helped buying parts for my 55 Chevy .

  7. For my Ipone, I  use WAZE. Free app. Not only great directions, it will find the fastest route, show traffic jams, and where the cops are! If you're in a hurry it also adjusts time to destination.

  8. Back in the 80's I was doing a lot  of projects at March AFB in Riverside, CA. At the time it was a SAC base. Watched many buffs take off and land. Quite a sight.

     

    While I was working there someone decided that March was too close to the reach of a submarine NUC so they shut down SAC and moved them inland. At the time we were scratching our heads as to why after 15 years someone figured that out.

    Based on what rule?

    Didn't say it was a rule. I answered the question. This is what we do. If someone is a 25 second shooter and they shoot  16 something went wrong somewhere. Either they didn't shoot all the rounds, or the timer/timer operator screwed up.   Logic.
