  1. You go to your church and I'll go to mine. Lots of friends still from SASS, some with outlandish costumes (Jittery Jim Jonah's electric shirt), some copying a movie character, some just getting by.
  2. One my favorites list to be watched at least once a year.
  3. I'm not what you'd call fond of stag, but I have Uberti 1875 Remington that is just begging for them...if I can ever find any I like,
  4. I scan them to see if I'm dead....and to see how many people who have died who were much younger than I am.
  5. My holsters and cartridge belts match. Beyond that I have a bunch of colors from black to russet to chocolate to tan to buckskin. I'm not interested in making a fashion statement, just getting good quality gun leather.
  6. And I always wondered why the crew didn't check the ticket before he got to the loading gate.
  7. Every so often I dig out my DVD of Disney's Three Caballeros for some really great Latino music and dancing. The only problem I have with it is I can't stand Donald Duck
  8. I bought what is nothing but a rifle-size flintlock with an over sized pan slot and no vent hole. It's mounted on a" pistol-shaped" wood block for something to hold on to. I also made a fire bow for a scout project. Both worked quit well but "plunger compression lighters" and burning glasses have never worked for me, and I gave up on matches when I found BIC lighters and later on propane charcoal stove and pipe lighters. For the last few years I have put my trust in a peizzo-electric (SP?) lighter built into my kitchen gas stove.
  9. That's the stag or bone grips. Plastic smells like burning plastic, but I can't say what resin smells like. Old fashioned gutta percha smells like burning rubber....which it is.
  10. I heard about a man some years back who found himself on the way to Aukland when his destination was Oakland. Said to be true...and he was very late for his appointment in California. Also said he enjoyed New Zealand, too.
  11. While stationed on Okinawa in 1966- 1966 the local TV stations showed at prime time very Friday evening the disposal of all the left over stuff that had been found (usually by kids searching the caves and crannies and turned over to the Army EOD units by their parents. LOTS of booms much bigger than the quarter pound C-4 explosions used to set them off. One Engineer Corps accident set off an estimated seven to twelve tons of ordnance in a cave while they were excavating a ridge just below Item Pocket. ...about 150 yard for our shops and parking lots. I wasn't known to be there until it blew roofs off buildings, launched coral chunks the size of VW Beetles and a lot of other damage...without any injuries. EOD wasn't involved, and the charge that set it off was being used to break up the coral so they could haul it away with skip loaders and dump trucks. SURPRISE!
  12. Some years ago there was a Brit TV series called Danger UXB.....if I remember correctly. It didn't last long but was very entertaining.
  13. But when you are old you can't reach them.....ans all the rest of these answers are every bit a useful (about like tits on a chicken) as the first response
  14. Very interesting but doesn't tell me much.
  15. All my life, before anyone started asking these questions, it meant to load your weapon and engage the safety. I learned it from Dad and some his much older friends. If everyone knows what to do to load and secure a weapon why do we diddle around about semantics?
  16. A hunting license, a small two bladed pocket knife, and a dozen used-to-be wooden matches wrapped in tin foil, in three different shotguns. A front sight and three screw-in apertures for a rear sight on a 94 Winchester rifle.
  17. Buddy Epson wasn't always a funny old man? Who would have guessed?
  18. But they never closed their doors nor stopped doing business, and the bar (made by Brunswick and best known for pool tables these days) and shell of the ice cabinet are still standing and being used all the time.
  19. Why do we have toenails? My forebears (and five and six bears) long ago moved out of trees and caves and adopted houses, apartments, condos, and motor homes. I don't recall any fights or battles where they would / could have served as a weapon. Because of their growth and being a home for fungus they are a nuisance at the least and a full blown annoyance at other times. Aside from being a show place for teen age girls to display some questionable art they aren't particularly attractive. Mostly they have no usable dexterity, nor do they contribute to any dexterity, that I am aware of. They usually contribute to excessive wear and tear on socks. Finally, if not trimmed in a timely manner and in a suitable shape they can be damaging to feet, legs, and other body parts, both on the person growing them but others who may come in contact with them. So I repeat: Why do we have toenails?
  20. ...why sellers of so many products on the internet DO NOT PUT SIZES of their products on the items. I see many things I will never buy simply because there is no information on the size of their product....and delivered prices aren't available for many foreign and some domestic products. People.,you are losing sales because of this mistake.,
  21. Looking for a pair of individual solar accent lights to show a pair of shelf mounted shishi dogs. I found some with only 3 lumens, not really enough. I just want to allow them to be seen without too much light. They are individual bulbs with a tiny solar panel inside each bulb and can flush mount or hang individually hanging from a cord. Most of the stuff I've found on the net have little or no info on this feature and the pics are generally so bad that I can't see them clearly and no store for 60 miles is any help whatsoever. Any suggestions?
  22. el charro / elcharro norte
  23. 20 / 20 hindsight is useless, especially after so many years and so much history under the bridge.
  24. Me either. Haven't missed it.
  25. I enjoy The Palace once in awhile. It's #1 on that list and maybe two miles from the World's Oldest Rodeo, also in Prescott.
