[Formula 1 Pit Stop]

When Hendrick took a NSACAR car to Lemans they won the pit crew award for the fastest time.  Over all the other teams.

[What to wear in the courtroom?]

Interesting screening. About 4 years ago I got a jury notice for the Federal court. I was supposed to fill it out and send it back. Reading it 2 things made me ponder. It said if your over 70 check this box and send it back you won't have to serve. I was 71. But Our President, and many of our elected officials in Congress and the Senate are way over 70. Was this an old and grumpy thing or cognitive issues? Then it read if i did not send this back I could be subject to arrest. That really pissed me off. 

Me being me I tossed it in the trash. Another one shows up . Tossed it. Another one shows up. Tossed it. I guess they thought I was dead after that. No more showed up.

[I tried Josey Wales]

We shoot "real" JW. 4 pistols, no shotgun, and single shot big bore rifle. Rifle target is at 30 yards. 2 categories, smokeless and BP.

[I miss "Imus Offen" often]

Its not often said but not matter what he was doing or what you were talking about he was a fantastic person to be with. 

[Ruger/Marlin 45-70 ?]

Having owned a Marlin in 45-70 its a very light rifle. Shooting the 45-70 gave a heavy recoil! 

[For the baseball fans]

I don't watch anything involving a ball except the college world series of softball.  Much different than baseball. The larger ball, more surface area, lets them through some crazy movement balls. 65 mph fast ball from 43'. The men hard ball players think they can whack that big ball. And then they get struck out.

[WOW! That's Fast]

WOW, just wow.

[All Pistols, all Rifles, all Shotgun]

We have shot an all shotgun stage. 20 rounds required. Start at normal shooting position and then walking down range shooting targets until you get to the end of the berm. As a Black Powder shooter i bought a leather forearm cover. The barrel gets really, really hot. did i say the barrel gets hot?

[Coffee.... Oh Darn.]

Renting is predominate in the market. Its not that people can't afford a monthly mortgage payment. They can't come u with the down payment.

[Mammoth Snow]

Mammoth, where the skiers are disappointed if there isn't 20' of base snow to ski on.

[Mammoth Snow]

Global warming? Lake Tahoe had snow also.

[The Smallest Round]

I occasionally shot 32-20's with a case full of 3f. No issue with the rifle and a few commented that the pistols were quite snappy, loud,  for 32's.

[Just a great old photo of some back in the day machinists]

Imagine the noise?

[Where Indian fights are colorful sights]

We're the Fucowi is an old bit on Johnny Carson. As in 'where the F are we'!

[Where Indian fights are colorful sights]

We're the fucowi    

[Affect of wonder wads]

wads soaked in 50/50 bees wax and crisco. Never used anything over the powder. I can shoot 6 stages without tending to the guns. Never an issue. For the distances we shoot a bit of contamination won't hurt.

[BP Shotshell reloading cost.]

I found That the bigger the charge the bigger the hole in the pattern. I was loading 65 gr. with a shot cup in plastic hulls. Targets went down sort of. Went to 40gr and the hole went away.

[Remington 1858 Cylinder Modification for Capping]

Sorry Ted Cash capper, straight. Holds about 20 caps. I had 3 so I didn't need to fill them at a 6 stage match.

[300 yard shot]

I had a Broom Handle Mauser in 9mm. The ladder sight went to 1,200 yards. Good for a laugh.

[Remington 1858 Cylinder Modification for Capping]

I shot Remmies for 12 years. I used a Ted Nash capper and never had to do anything to the cylinder.

[are firearms worth the investment?]

I just sold a Colt Python. Still had the original box and only about 500 rounds put through it. I bought it for $400 new in 1979. Sold it for $1,800. Based on inflation I got my money back but no return.

[Why are photo's always fuzzy?]

cheap cameras with low quality lens.

 

[Conspiracy Theory]

I'll offer two things that make you scratch your head. A third building collapsed behind the twin towers. And it wasn't hit by debris from the towers?

The Pentagon didn't have a single piece of airplane wreckage laying anywhere at the entry point. Wings and engines would have been sheared off.

[How much is that doggie . . .]

Ridiculous. Anything over $3.50 is hard pass. WHats the price of a beer, $22??????

[Does your club have a "2-squibs-and-you're-out" rule?]

Winter Range at Ben Avery. I was one of the TO's. A woman was having trouble with her ammo as in squibs or bullets not making it to the target. Pop, no clang so I think squib. Stop the shooter and have her ground the gun. She goes to the unloading table and no squib. So reshoot. Same stage, it happens again. Same outcome. PM says one more time or get more some other ammo.  Along comes the Range Master wanting to know why we're behind time in shooting the stage. They predict XX time for 20 shooters at each stage. The PM and I tell him why. He looses his mind. Yells at us for delaying the shoot. She should have been told stop or go get some more ammo. PM and I both agree that we're not stopping a shooter who's spent $$$$$$$ to shoot the match. Her husband goes to the car/truck and gets different ammo as we all walked to the next stage. And she's fine after that. Long story. Just think we should always try to get to a solution thats is safe and allows the shooter to continue.
