Forty Rod SASS 3935

Awful lot of money for a used gun and badge.

I played mumbly peg with a 3" fixed blade knife. After a couple of years I was almost unbeatable. Quit about the time I went to college and haven't so much as thought about it until today. SEE what you did?!

On 15 March, 1942 my Dad bought a 23" x 34" U. S. flag with 48 stars and arranged for it to be flown over the hospital where I was born. I don't want one of those triangular shadow box affairs because it doesn't let you see the number of stars. It's not very big but it IS too big for any wall in my house. I found a floor mount flag pole and base that is adjustable for height and will fit a corner in my dining room. Problems: 1. Dad had to staple it to a pole to fly it that day so long ago. No visible holes exist today .It rested for probably 35 years in a silk lined cellophane bag, then when that gave up the ghost Mom put it in a plastic bag. It has no grommets or eyes to hang it from and I don't want to damage it at all if I don't have to. I'm leaning toward chrome or nickel grommets. 2. I also find it has been neatly folded and stored in a cedar chest for so long that it is "pressed" to the point that it is apparently permanently creased. It isn't faded nor stained, but I don't know how to flatten it so that it will drape properly. I hesitate to use steam for fear of damaging the flag in some way. Are there any museum curator type people out there that can suggest how to do this, or even more importantly how NOT to do it. Thanks. Tom

Wish I could open this but I DON'T HAVE, NOR WILL I EVER HAVE FACEBOOK.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN MUCH TO YOUSE GUYS, BUT KARLA'S BACK! Karla's husband was a very good friend who died around 2 years ago. I waited a week like I always do. I call the surviving spouse to go to lunch just to get them out of the house. We have become very good friends and have lunch together every week or two....except she went to California to help her ailing mother and while there had to have surgery herself. Gone two and a half months this time. She called and we're going to go to two lunches on consecutive days to catch up. KARLA'S BACK!

I don't shoot smokeless any more, especially in nickel plated guns. I'm too old to take that much time cleaning them. I could die before I fini..................................

And why you wanted to anyway.

I wish I could enjoy that thing in your head that tells you what you did some time before, but I can't remember what it's called. Oh, wait that's it. Now what were we talking about?

When in doubt pee on something and go home.

I have a first model American in .45 Colt. (Cimarron /Uberti) Elegant gun but it won't ever be used for CAS. Very heavy (8" barrel), not as good a fit as a SAA......which I've been shooting for 65 years and am used to the fit and feel of...... and the sights are ridiculously small and difficult to use, but I love this big nickel plated beastie. If nothing else it's a $2,000 dollar, what with custom leather and rare (only twenty imported) factory included checkered walnut grips and no longer imported nickel finish, barbeque gun. "Look at what I have that you don't. Nannar nanner nanner!!!

I thought that would be nomophonia.

Yeah! There's nothing the matter with you with you with you with you.... I don't see what that thing would be worth except as an experiment, With that much weight in couldn't have a usable capacity for a payload much over a couple of lunches and a Thermos full of coffee.

Why? Do you have some for sale?

I remember when a lot of JATO packs were used on a lot of planes for a lot of reasons.

TV in the hospital I was visiting a couple of days ago. 59 channels, but nothing to watch. Had two channels with westerns (Gunsmoke and Have Gun, Will Travel reruns) Both had Spanish dubbed in and English subtitles.

He needs a bigger shirt. A LOT bigger!

She won't find any of that around here. mY body is fragile, but the masculinity isn't. Gimme a call, Lady. I'll show you what I have left.

Ain't that the crying truth. Look at the lies that people are voting for and / or against and the money behind them determined to buy our rights.

I believe "baddest man" depends on whether he's on your side or not. If I'm up to my ass in alligators and running low on hope and ammo I'd think of him as "the goodest" if he showed up to bail me out.

No we didn't and I have very few scars because it's easier to give them than it is to let someone scar me up.

I love bronzes and have a friend who has about a dozen in his house. None are this big but one is 3' x 3' x 4'. He can afford them. I can't and at my age I wouldn't want one now. I won't have time to enjoy it. I do enjoy looking at if and find it fascinating to see how it's done There are a couple of forges near here that offer tours but I haven't been to any. There are a number of sculptures around the valley, a lot in peoples' front yards. A full size grizzly, a few pronghorns, a pioneer woman, a pair of bald eagles, a boy and his dog up at town hall in the amphitheater, etc...And the Phippen Museum in Prescott has all manner of western art.

Thes Hell, son, I was eighteen years old before I memorized my name. The Army forced me to learn my serial number (O5 711 238) and the Marines made me memorize my SSN because they had stopped using MC numbers before I joined them. I have my cell phone (nearly a year old now) number taped to the back of the phone.

Of Smith and Wessons, .44 magnums, ofrconversions like that thing?
