"They Done The Old Woman In."
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I've never seen that movie....but I will shorty. I ordered it from my public library. Thanks for the "hint". -
I've only seen one of then and was able to fire it a few times.. It belonged to a Presbyterian minister who live behind us in Logan, Utah. My parents were friends with him and his wife. They had two kids about the same age as my sister and me. The son and I would go down the junk yard on the south-west side of town and shoot rats, he with the Winchester and me with a single shot .22 that Dad had "won" on a ten cent punch board at a local gas station. I was about nine years old at the time and we had only lived in Utah about a year. I don't remember the make of my rifle. It was cheap and flimsy, but it was pretty accurate. So was that little Winchester.

Okay, I take it all back. You ain't nuts after all.....or are you?

used this recipe simply because I had all the ingredients. It's a keeper. Thanks to Blackwater. I feel like we're related somehow. We think alike so often.

Useless fun fact-ish type stuff

Yer outta yer cotton pickin' mind. See what cold weather does to you! I'll bet it doesn't even have a fireplace nor outlets for an electric blanket.

Huh? Say again. I can't hear you.

Precisely! I can find more good info on this site than most rags being published today.

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.

Optics for your Python or Anaconda?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Pat Riot's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
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.

That's like putting a red rubber nose and a handlebar mustache on Mona Lisa. -
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

How Do You Break An Anchor?

Spring? Hell we only (finally) got winter last week. I don't like the cold but we sure do need the moisture.

More reasons I'm glad I bailed out when I did.

Done went and bought a snow blower
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Doc Shapiro's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
That's what you cal lit when someone is fibbing to you. "You're snowing me" or "are you trying to snow me". -
I'll do that. Waiting for a delivery date, which usually means a week or more.

Old time and not commonly-heard phrases.

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. -
Bingo! Thanks, Pat. I'j just ordered one after I read this.
