Forty Rod SASS 3935

I got up this morning, did my daily get out an go stuff, walked into the kitchen and found my 13 year old dog and a year old pup about her size. Good looking dog, well-groomed, well-fed, and a rowdy as all get out. Very friendly and happy to be a friend. I never laid eyes on the mutt before. He had no collar or any form of ID at all. He obviously got in through the doggy door out to my deck, but how he got into my yard is a mystery. It's surrounded by skunk proof fencing and I couldn't find any gaps in it anywhere. After getting him out of the house I secured my dog inside, gave the stranger some water and blocked off the doggy door. A tour of the neighborhood didn't turn up anyone who recognized him so I called animal control. They sent a young man over and he scanned for a microchip. No joy there. We finally got the dog in the truck and the man said they'd take him to the pound. He looked me right in the eye and said if the dog wasn't get claimed in 21 days he be up for adoption...and the he would be first in line to give little guy a home. I still don't know how he got into my yard. He was a jumper but I've got five to eight foot fences all around the yard and that pup was about the same size as my eleven pound chihuahua min pin mix. I can'r see him jumping nor climbing the fences. Mysteries abound

You mean like gasoline, motor oil, fertilizers, paint, tobacco, sugar, propane Spam, aerosol containers of all manner of stuff, and other hazardous materials?

A place in Upland, CA many years ago. It was called Yanks and had waiters that did that and spectacular food. The partners split and the one who took over Yanks brought in a loud New Orleans piano player, mediocre staff, and added a few tables which made it very crowded. We only went there twice again.

The P-38 wasn't a fighter bomber....just a spectacular fighter.

I thought it was because of family ties TURKEY!

That top latch isn't the right profile for a Schofield. It's "lift up" latch not a "pull back" latch like the others. Notice how far into the trigger guard he has his finger....like maybe 80% of real shooters.

No they aren't.

I think that is the STUPIDEST video I've ever seen.

Lyman is very good. There are others better but usually more pricey. Judge for yourself: 1. are you good enough to get the full value out of the sight 2. does it fit you and the gun 3. is it simple to use 4. is it sufficiently durable 5. if you find you don't like it is it resellable I have had tang sights on a bunch of guns. The only one I liked well enought to keep and used successfully (and wish I still had the gun and the sight) was a Sharps repro ten years before Quigley was born. It was a .45-70 with a "Hawkenesque" stock that looked marvelous, shot better than I could, and with ammo, accessories, etc. sold for almost $100.00 more than I had in it when my wife and kids and the dog needed food more than I needed that rifle.

I add pearl onions (when I can get them) in my beef stew. Adds a different and very pleasing touch.

Behind the Rainbow Bar in Naha. Great haircuts for thirty-five cents. (1966-1968). Also a few doors down an old lady named Kai did baths and massages for a buck fifty. The younger guys wanted young girls to "DO" them. My wife and I both went there about once a week.

The old kind (diatomaceous earth base), not the modern gels. I've used the old stuff to smooth gun actions. It's messy but it works if you're patient. Be patient. It's worth it.

I DON'T CARE!!! I don't want to listen to that BS everywhere I go! I resent being captive to some so-called marketing scheme that causes me to go miles out of my way to find a quiet place to shop. They are getting scarce. I'd love to get the people who put this garbage on the air everywhere and lock them in my workshop and crank Slim Whitman (I love his music) up to a volume painful to ears, lock the doors and make them listen for about a month. I'd give them food and water and there's bathroom out there. I'd settle for piping their own garbage into their offices, homes, and stores forever. For some of us it becomes elder abuse...against the law throughout the land. Hey, maybe we could put the politicians through the same thing I have proposed for the "corporate " idiots who force it on the rest of us...even into their chauffeured cars and expensive planes....and the halls of Congress and all government offices at every level of government.' including passageways and cafeterias. But most people would rather tolerate it than to stand up and complain. They are too timid to rock the boat.

Most of it is NOT music, it's just very loud, repetitious,inappropriate, annoying noise and probably close to 70% of the people who shop in MY neighborhood are over 50 years old. Also explain why I get "music" in a hardware store parking lots as well as inside the store, blaring out of gas pumps, from the fronts of stores, etc. This is noise pollution plain and simple. I don't need this with my breakfast (or any other meal) and when it is so loud that I can't carry on a conversation it is just too much. Some places will turn it down if asked, but in most chain stores the staff.....including the so called managers.....have no control over it. "Corporate" controls it, but I'll bet you won't hear any of it in their offices.

and why are old fashioned companies coming up with "stylish" but totally meaningless crap like this. I want a BLACK jacket. Plain and simple BLACK, not some b.s. color that some idiot in the marketing department thinks is cool.

Thanks, Joe. I needed a good laugh.

That fits my pistol just fine..

I've never used it before but I'm told it really adds a lot to beef stew. What do I need to know to get the most out of it? (aka "What the heck am I doing and what do I need to know?") I have a favorite beef stew recipe but I want to move it up to the next level. Also, has anyone added mushrooms to beef stew?

I'll wait until they have one that comes with a recliner and a lap rug.

Neither one my darlin'. More like the old Levi Strauss denim jackets that we used to call jumpers. Yeah, you're right. Thanks for the catch on that one.

I have a very good friend who lives 15 minutes up the road. He was an Army combat medic in 'Nam and came away with three purple hearts and a chest full of "fruit salad". He saved my life 54 years after I came home from 'Nam and left the Army.

I do...now.

Penguins have square eyes.

I rode in and drove almost every known type of vehicle for about 70 years without having any seat belts.....except on the race track. where I also wore helmets, fire-proof clothing and had roll bars, shatter-proof window glass, side crash bars, fire extinguishers, etc..... I was never seriously injured nor killed without the protection of seat belts, air bags, padded everything, tinted glass, side door safety bars. I finally gave up about about 12 years ago when it became a nuisance explaining to every "do-gooder" in a fifty mile radius why I didn't think that the equipment was necessary. BTW, I added seat belts to my 1954 Dodge in about 1957. They weren't required then and 99% of the cars didn't have them. I bought them from a catalog because I simply wanted to be different.
