Shooting Times was my go to magazine since I was a kid.
Skeeter Skelton. Bill Jordan. Elmer Keith. George Nonte and Peter Capstick on occasion. Rick Jamison wrote some great pieces on advanced reloading techniques. Mike Venturino and Sheriff Wilson we’re about the last writers I cared to read.
Most current rags, including Shooting Times, are glorified advertising for the latest gee whiz thingamabob.
‘Nuff said. Time to move on.
Precisely! I can find more good info on this site than most rags being published today.

Glad I could help. It gets pretty good reviews too. Let us know what you think of it. I may still get one later on.
Well, they never did give me a delivery date but it showed up on my door step a half hour ago.
It's designed as a photo tripod / monopod with feet for smooth floor, rough floor, out doors use (including a spike for lawns, dirt, etc.),
Fully extended it's close to seven feet tall and slides together into a two foot or less package. Weight for the whole lot can't be much over 8-10 pounds.
I has a padded crescent top fixture, two camera fixtures, a tool kit, a carrying case for the tripod and one for the tools and accessories.
There are three instruction documents (really small) and written in understandable American English.
It appears to be quite rugged for any range use and could probably suffice as a field device as well.
It's even quite attractive, all black an copper colored.d
Koolehaoda....no idea what language that is....from Amazon for under $80.00
Range test Tuesday early pm.
Thanks again, Pat.

I've been ranting for ages about "new guns" that are nor superior in any practical way for average shooters. Lever action "tactical"rifles, 1911 derivatives, factory mounting points for sights, etc.
Today I got a magazine that I have been getting for years with an attached notice that the next issue will be the last if I don't renew NOW! Over sixty pages and not one single word that I wanted to read. I won't renew even at their desperation renewal prices.
As a life member of the NRA, I'll get American Rifleman, and I still like Guns (I still have their first addition that I bought while still in Junior High School. They both have some things that hold my interest. All rest I have let go and today I got the last, or next to last, Shooting Times that I'll ever get.
I can still scan the magazine racks at Safeway and Fry's to see if there's anything I might want to check out, but subscriptions won't ever be renewed.
Sorry folks, but I just don't need this crap cluttering up my mail box and giving me nothing worth having.

I do have to agree with the WTH folks. If I saw someone pull a Python w/optics out of a case at the range, my first impression is not going to be good...but then, I've never figured out the revered 'mystique' about Pythons to begin with.
I once traded a Python straight up for an S&W model 19. The Smith fit me better than the Colt.

Going to take some of all this and see how well (or lousy) I do. I'll add the onions and mushrooms after the meat is well on its way and a dash of Kay's Best Garlicky Seasoning ( a great local product). I have some bone both and will add the asparagus wrapped in bacon and steamed in water and butter as a side.
The spuds and cauliflower can wait a day longer.
Thnaks for the suggestions and hints.

I bought a pound of Fry's /Kroger pre cooked and sliced Private Selection Angus Roast Beef. The sample they gave me was delicious. It would be great for a cold sandwich, but I want a hot meal.
I need some suggestions because I don't remember ever buying anything like this before.
If I nuke it to heat it up will it over-cook? What side dishes and condiments do you recommend (I'm tired of the same old mustard / brown gravy / niblets / etc that has become boring no matter how easy it is.)
I was thinking steamed asparagus, sauteed mushrooms, red potatoes or buttered cauliflower...or a salad...I don't know. I'm fishing in strange waters here. I have a pile of red delicious and Granny Smith apples and some bacon for a pie (if you haven't tried bacon and apple pie you are sadly missing a marvelous treat. It goes well with sharp cheddar cheese on the side) but I'm also getting lazy.
I'm open to anything, more opener (Iwas an English major and teacher) if it's easy.
Thanks

In California to be considered and e-Bike it must have operable pedals, otherwise it's a motorcycle. All the usual bicycle laws apply, although there are speed limits for them. Class 1 and 2 are limited to 20mph, Class 3 to 28mph.
"The California vehicle code defines e-bikes as: “[A] bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts.” It further breaks e-bikes into three categories, following a classification system created by PeopleForBikes that has been adopted in 40 states.
- Class 1: Provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed of 20 mph
- Class 2: Operates via pedal-assist or throttle and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed of 20 mph
- Class 3: Provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed of 28 mph
Golf carts:
Yes, golf carts can be street legal in California if they meet certain requirements. These requirements include safety features, vehicle identification numbers, and registration.Safety features- Horn: Alerts other drivers
- Fenders: Protect the vehicle
- Seat belts: Protect passengers in a collision or sudden stop
- Lights: Headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and reflectors
- Windshield and wipers: Improve visibility in bad weather
- Parking brake: Prevents the vehicle from moving accidentally when not in use
- Rear-view mirror: Shows the area behind the vehicle for up to 200 feet
Vehicle identification numbers and registration-
Golf carts must have a 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN)

Violating golf cart laws in California can result in fines, impoundment, and increased liability.More reasons I'm glad I bailed out when I did.

My grandma used to say, “I’ll jerk a knot in yer tail!”
She also said “I’ll grab your tongue and yank you inside out!”
And her favorite when talking to me was, “Go cut me a switch!!”
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That was my Dad's worst threat. We had a weeping willow in the yard and he'd hand me his pocket knife to cut the switch with. I tried getting away with a four inch switch once....only once!
"Put it back where you got it and bring me one about as long as your leg." That was advice to live by...if you wanted to go on living.

I don't see how that can top out at 5 to 6' feet high from a 3 foot table and it looks to be longer from front to rear than 1 foot.
Good price, though.

I knew a guy who was a genius at playing stringed instruments. He was as good as she is on a balalaika, BUT HE WAS 27 YEARS OLD AND BEEN WORKING AT IT FOR 12 YEARS.
He even tried Foggy Mountain Breakdown on it, but was better when he used a banjo.
