Since we started talking about retirement, let me tap your collective experiences on making the transition:
1. Did you stay in your home or move elsewhere? Why? Stayed there for 11 years until my retired, then escaped to Arizona.
2. Did you buy/build a smaller house? How has that worked out? Bought a larger house with much larger lot. So far so good.
3. Are you a snowbird? How do you make that work? No!
4. What would you do differently? Gotten out of California much sooner. Planned my finances better.
5. What was your biggest mistake? Not leaving California 13 years ago.
Very subjective, I know; but I'm just looking for your best thoughts.
Much appreciated.

Never saw weasels with enclosed cabs before. Some good (not very long) scenes a PA-1/PB-2 locomotives, one of the most beautiful engines ever.

The more girlfriends you have....... The less you hurt........
I dunno about that. At my age one could kill me.

A Bernardelli Brescia 12 gauge double hammer gun two barrel set. It could be used for SASS, but really........
If anything was left over I'd start shopping for a 1903 Mannlicher Schonauer carbine in 6.5 x 54 MS. Might work for Wild Bunch..... but again, really.......

Howdy
I am proposing a new rule to be voted on at the next Territorial Governors meeting.
The use of the term 'Period Correct' will be banned. Sounds too much like Politically Correct. Try using an alternative term such as Historically Accurate.
Shooters who are heard to use the term on a stage will have thirty seconds added to their time.
Shooters who use it a second time will be ejected from the match. Ejected so that they land butt first on a Saguaro cactus.
Posters who use of the term on the SASS Wire will be severely reprimanded.
Ocotillo is a better choice. Other than that I find nothing wrong with your proposal.
OK, it's January and I may be suffering from cabin fever a little bit.
But I have always hated that term, and just read it one too many times.

My wife and I were discussing that very subject several days ago when I realized that I didn't have a single piece of original equipment that didn't need some help to function as designed.
Had a car like that once. Sold it for scrap.

Well if I remember correctly there were only three of them and two of them shaved the other had a beard and all three when seen from a distance ya couldn't tell if they were walking or rolling.
Jealousy is such an ugly thing in someone like you who seems like such a nice person otherwise.

He should have been executed 35 years ago, give or take a couple of years.
He's been using up resources to keep him alive, resources better spent on almost anything else.

Yeah. I ever could figure out why anyone would fight off the women, especially when there are so many guys who couldn't catch one if they tried.

I'm at the age where anything that still works hurts.
Most mornings it's my lower back and right ankle. Within an hour the back pain goes away but the ankle can go on for days. My hands hurt when it's cold and my right thumb hurts almost all the time.
Like you, everyday brings a new misery, sometimes small, sometimes larger, but always something new.
Nobody said that getting old was easy. Old age is not for the weak or timid..... but still, there a lot of advantages.

They worked well on our M-706 / V-100 light Armored Assault Vehicles in 'Nam and at Seal Beach.
I don't know how the civilian versions work.

Ask 40, he's old enough to remember.
Like Birdgun said. He knew Travis better than I did.
Glad we were both in Las Vegas losing our money when the Alamo fell.

Ay 62 I threw everything up in the air and walked out from under it.
Best choice I ever made except for marrying Shawna.

No offense, 10 Chain, but I have a feeling you weren't anywhere near as cute!
Depends on who's looking. She might have thought I was gorgeous..... too.

Me and the dog had an angus double burger with cheese, dill pickles, generic yellow mustard, and a slice of Burmuda onion, iced tea for me and water for the dog, and blackberry pie with vanilla ice cream.
I didn't feel like putting together a big meal.

I left a 4 out. Should be fortyrod54321@gmail.com.
Sorry

I used to be able to do that with a U S Rifle Caliber Thirty M-1 (Garand)... blindfolded... and in about the same time. The M-1 Carbine took twice as long and I needed my eyes to do it.
I still remember how but the speed is gone and I need both eyes now.

All the stupid things you did between the ages of about 15 and 35, when you were immortal and unbreakable?
So.... how does that account for all the dumbass things I did after I turned 35?
-
Well, so far I can't get the damn thing to work at all.

Most of you know I'm in touch with my Scottish ancestry. In Scotland, New Year's is called "Hogmanay," which is a Gaelic word. Most Hogmanay celebrations are similar to ours, except that at midnight they practice "first footing." It means that after midnight, they go around visiting people, and the first person to cross their threshold (i.e. the first foot through the door) after midnight receives a gift from the homeowner.
Of course, real Scotch (which they just refer to as "whiskey," because Scotch is just whiskey made in Scotland) is key to all of this.
The Scots spell whisky without the 'e' in it.
