Forty Rod SASS 3935

All I know about 1923 is that all but two of the Arizona County Sheriffs Departments drove Studebakers.. One drove Fords and the other drove Packards. Two or three years later three counties switched to Buicks. See the kind of crap you accumulate when you go researching things, details, color, etc., to add to book you're writing?

Sounds like me. I simply can't drive to matches, work the stages, or any of the rest. I still shoot every week or so at local ranges, but haven't shot a match in about a dozen years.....and I'm not a collector. I'm an accumulator. I started getting rid of some guns a few years ago but I have more now than when I started. Go figure.

How do I open this?

3, 6, 7, 8, 14, 17, 18, 20.....32%.

Me, too. At least that long, maybe longer. I've used it for years on almost everything but coffee, ice cream, and pecan pie. I don't like "hot", just in it for the flavor (I use all kinds of vinegars) and mild heat.

How come Micky Mouse's dog gets a day and I don't? Well....how come, HUH?

Are you planning ahead, Alpo?

And MANY is a real understatement.

So many heroes, past and present, that go unrecognized while every psycho, perverted, vicious criminal idiot on the planet gets recognized in every form of "news" media there is. Them and so-called "sports heroes" and other really UNIMPORTANT celebrities of one sort or another.

I'd like to see it but I wouldn't intentionally go to Phoenix to watch a man walk on water. Kind of the same way I feel about California and ton of other places. Sorry!

Which means????????

This is proof that some people are too damn stupid to be free and loose in the public...and it gives a lot of ammo to the anti-gun crowd.

I have no reason to ever go to our local gun shows again......for ALL of the reasons above plus the fact that, as big as the venue is, the crowds are ridiculously huge and I don't deal well with dude a--holes. (Including many of the vendors.) I might try some others if they aren't too far away, but this same loacation has marvelous home improvement shows and others. The gun show people really need to get a grip on a decent planning and management system.

Kelly Laster is an engraver but I also had him do some scrimshaw work for me about 25 years ago. He's also done engraving for me, too.

and sharp pointy things, too. I RUN WITH SCISSORS!

People ask me if I'm afraid of dying. Nope. A bit concerned about how I'll die, but dying is just the next step and it's inevitable.....and I'm curious about what's next in this adventure. I'll see you all on the other side someday.

Shoot them in the head. Problem solved. I was taught the Three Bs: Belly, brisket, brain.

I'm proud of you for remembering this. We were taught in Kindergarten along with how to meet people, how to write letters, and the like. Some of us learned something from other students. A girl namer Sheila taught me how to tie my shoes and a boy named Neil taught me how to cut circles in paper.

Just one of many reasons we left California over ten years ago. I have regretted not leaving 20 or 30 yers ago, but who knew?

We are rapidly approaching that day and I'm trying to prepare for it.....but I know from past experience that it will still be one of the saddest things I will ever experience. When the time comes I'll do what I need to do because my little friend deserves to go out with dignity and peacefully. Of all of God's creations large and small, dogs are right at the top of the list of the best.

I thought about Trans Am once, but went with a Formula 400 Ram instead.

Home is where ever you hang your hat. Don't crap in your own nest.

I really like guys who do those kinds of things. I had a roommate in college who had a TR-3 with a right hand drive and a Springer Spaniel. He put a false steering wheel on the left side and a smaller that average one on the right side, got the dog, wearing sun glasses, trained to sit tall behind the phony wheel and would drive all over the country making people just go nuts. Some would call the police and Gary met every traffic cop from Rexburg to Saint George.

We got no meese, but elks are fairly common if you want to get off the beaten track and go looking for them. I'm told we have quill pigs (my dad's name for porcupines), too but I've never seen one here. Same with poisonous snakes. We're supposed to have all but two (coral snakes and moccasins I think) of U.S. poisonous snakes. All I've seem are plain old garden variety Rocky Mountain diamond backs and so far only three in ten years. I have some really cute little miniature horned toads about as big a half dollar. They shoe up in the spring by the score buy are usually gone when the weather gets really hot.
