Speaking as an old guy with physical limitations, I could not get up on that prop. Unless you allow me to stand and shoot I'd have to take a stage DNF!

After things settled down and masks became optional,,,,I was sitting in the exam room waiting to see the Doc. He walks in, comes over to me, sticks out his hand and wants to shake hands! Which I did. But seemed so odd after not being able to "touch" anything for 2 years.

I was speaking about the 50/60/70's. No teams and no multiple cars.

Ahhhh, back then they had only one car to race. Not 10 sitting in the home shop. Crash it and hope it can be fixed.

Watched me a lot of Popeye cartoons as a kid. Tom Hatten was the TV host.

West coast KA California....big deal in the 50's and 60's.

I used some 7 1/2 shot. Worked fine.

These are almost 100 years old and still funny. My parents gave me the nickname Spanky as they thought I looked and acted like hm.

Here smoke this it won't hurt you?

I did a lot of design work at San Diego Naval Base. 3 of the buildings were were modernizing were training for on board repair and maintenance. Machine shop, laundry, HVAC, electrical. etc. Everything that was needed to keep the ship going was in a training building there. Some of the equipment was older than dirt. But it got the point across. The fire fighting school was a real challenge.

So then Calif., New York, New Jersey, or red states wouldn't ??????????

And....Pluto doesn't wear Pants!

Wonder whats going on with TS. He's now on TV hawking "reverse mortgages. He makes a ton of$$$$ from Blue Bloods!

I've told our 3 kids they aren't getting anything. Two are leeches, and the other OK. Grandkids will get money by trust based on how they propose to use it. Otherwise local pet shelters. Biggest family fights are after parent(s) die and the kids fight over stuff. Had one daughter come into the house and started pointing at furniture and claiming it as hers. I'd rather send it to the dump that now give it to her. Already selling off all the guns.

One of the hardest things to learn when first married. There is no such thing as women's work or men's work. Stuff just needs to get done.

I have a pair in 44-40 that were re-worked to eliminate the trigger issue. I shoot dualist and it made them very similar to shoot as a colt or ruger. The smith retired and I think he ws the only one who did the conversion.
