Since then I have moved, changed contact numbers, and got one more book to market.
You can reach me here on the SASS wire or get copies from almost any store or Author House Publishing.
Second book is titled Cavanaugh: The Last Bounty.
Thanks, Bullspit. I appreciate it.

Took about 40 minutes, but I dropped all but three messages. I'll go back and make sure I have them saved on paper, then drop them, too.
Thanks.

I have just the place for that, but I can imagine a price tag about the same as a new car.
Thanks for the morning drool.

There is a data leak. Some of your old PMs are showing up in your Activity List, Status Updates, and Status Replies. Which makes them searchable.
Unless you want your contact and payment information visible to scammers, delete old and no longer needed PMs!
It's been reported.
And how do we do that? Can't find a delete button anywhere.

I had a Leatherman tool for near on 30 years and almost never used it. I was so stiff I couldn't get the blades out and time didn't loosen it up a bit. Gave it to an old man who was playing the nostalgia game.

Yeah, so were my kids. Their Momma was strikingly gorgeous. I never understood why she picked me, an ugly dude who made sunburned dog crap look good.

Thanks, but I think I'll keep it. It's been on my wall for almost 13 years and I'd feel lonely with it gone. Look on some of the on-line sites. I think you could find one for around $150.00, maybe less.

So.........................?
What do think we should do about it?

How about you two driving it up here to show our guys and gals? I'll buy lunch.

38 Smith and Wesson. I've never seen brass headstamped 38/200.
British name for the same thing with a 200 grain bullet. Works just fine.
I have two o'd S&W break tops (38 single action second model and a so called Mexican model, and an Iver Johnson (?) hard to load and unload single action POS....but it's still fun to shoot. I used to carry one or two of them when doing period "townsfolk" costuming with the Elks Opera House Guild.
Sometimes I carried something else fun, like a Remington O/U .41, a Sharps 1A four barrel .22 short, a S&W No. 1 1/2 SA .32 S&W, or one of my favorites, an Iver Johnson break top five shot "hammerless" DA .32 with an original rebounding firing pin in 90% condition.

I have about a dozen P38s, a few of the larger ones (P51?), and a couple of pocket knives. I also have two old hand crank kitchen openers, two electrics, a mess hall special table top mounted one, and a cupboard and fridge full of handy-dandy pull tab openers attached to cans.
If all else fails I have a brute of a hunting knife that can fill in the gaps.

Thank you.
Got it yesterday, Thank you very much.
Off tomorrow to find a suitable frame.

Dam'! A smoking jacket!
If it's smoking you best get some water on it before it breaks into full blown flame. That could ruin your whole day!!!

Back to the ducks: a lady I know had someone give her little duck when she started working there. She recently retired after 24 years and took over 400 duckies with her. Her entire office was lined with ducks, from 1/3 inch to fifteen inches
I go by her office now and really miss those stupid little toy ducks.

Good looking kid. Takes after his Grandma's side, right?
I only have one grandson and barely know him. It's one of very few holes in my life.
Treasure what you have. Teach him all you know and he'll do well.

Been looking into this and found a number of native Arizona cacti. Imagine cacti in Arizona.
One kind might start in the oven and after a time sprout up and out the top. Blooms every year with small bright red flowers. I have a call out to the Yavapai College plant folks but haven't heard back yet.
We'll see.

"Tubing!"
Inner tubes of all sizes down a 3/4 mile slope in Dry Lake south of Logan, Utah
Waxed the tubes and put from one to six kids on it, depending on the size of the inner tube. Airborne for 20-30 feet with six kids on a tractor tire was a blast but we could go further through the air with one rider on a tube from a really tiny car.

I brought back an SKS carbine and a Browning High Power 9mm pistol, both legally.

AI is going to change the world like the internet did 30 years ago.
For all its faults, the world is a better place because of widespread access and use of the internet.
I hope I live long enough to see what it'll create.

A high school English teacher, Moss Hattie Morrell, taught me to use commas. I have been accused of over-using them but that's what I was taught.
She is also the lady who made me promise to write something every day. A sentence, a paragraph, a chapter. Write, rewrite, edit , clean it up.

How did this go from serious to rib-cracking hilarious so quickly?

Same here. Still looking for a side lever lock 4" switchblade with stag scales. Used to be common but I can't any with a 4" blade that looks good enough to take home, just a lot of cheap junk.
And I'd like to find a first Issue Gerber Mk. Commando like I had in Vietnam; no "saw teeth", an offset blade, and the aluminum handle with "grit" impregnated into it.
I find a bunch of them at $600-$800 but I don't want one badly enough to spend over about $350 for it.
It would go well with my KBAR early issue and a Fairbairn Sykes like the ones I carried from time to time.
Those and a pair of Marbles "tri-fold") Safety knives are collectable to me. All the rest are "They followed me home, Ma. Can I keep them" knives.

Neither do I. But I would say at least 90% of cowboy shooters do.
I was at a match one time and when I came off the line this young man came up to me and offered the excellent advice that if I were to learn how to reload I could make lighter loads and then better my time.
I told him that I had been reloading longer than he had been alive.
Like back when his daddy was wearing three cornered pants?
I get some strange looks when I use that phrase. Some people don't know what diapers used to be.

Hey FortyRod remember this?
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
Son, I've got a nice everything....except memory, eyesight, hearing, balance, digestive problems, memory.....oh.
Oh, yeah, teeth, muscles, coordination, working sinuses, memory, sense of taste, tolerance for almost anything I don't like, reflexes, and memory.
Did I mention that I forget things a lot?
