    My orginal alias was "Lumpy Grits"

    At a breakfast with friends get'n ready to join SASS, we were discussing my alias choices. 

    Couldn't find one I liked. When my breakfast was served, it included a small bowl of lumpy grits. Everyone dared me.....:lol:

    So why “Original “ ?

    Definitely just looking for side events. Self defense is the Glocks. 

    Gotcha, that’s why I had a couple just for side matches. I liked the American derringer the best but I don’t know if they’re still made! Bond is a tank !

    mine is an old stevens 211 that weighs about what my modern hammerless stoeger does , ive had less trouble with it but i shoot it a fraction as much - older i get the less my arthritic hands want to deal with any small motor skills , 

    That’s the reason I went hammerless, it’s also the reason I went from duelist to two handed. Arthritis kicks in about the 3rd stage  and I don’t need to work hammers on a shotgun as well. That said I loved that TTN!

    I have both a CZ and TTN hammered coach guns.

    Just curious as to which you prefer and why?

    I like the looks and weight of the CZ, but I like the hammer ears and lack of safety on the TTN. I am equally slow on both 🤠

    If I could have the ears from the TTN on my CZ and then delete the safety it would be ideal.

    I prefer the TTN but I sold it and went hammerless.

  5. I’ve lived up north all my life and I’ve never heard anyone say, “ I’ll be there directly “, we usually say I’ll be there right away or I’ll be there asap!

    A lot of bands would totally suck without a drummer.

    Oh yea for sure, but my point is very simple we don’t play musical tones, we play rhythm. You can’t play musical tones on drums, tambourines, cymbals or spoons or similar instruments.. That’s all I’m saying I don’t know why that’s so hard to understand. I also play some piano and guitar and those do play musical tones.

    As a drummer,are you not refered to as a musician?

    Yes, but some people make a joke out of it. “Oh so you’re a drummer not a real musician” 😂

  8. When I worked part time at a local gun shop/range we had a group of gay dudes called, The Pink Pisols! They were a bunch of nice guys, we could kid around with them and they loved it! Good shooters too! They still come in from time to time I was told. 😎

    Lord save us from tree huggers!

     

    I did a perimeter check this morning.  My power line is fine.  Clear from pole to weatherhead.  But two of my neighbors have their power lines compromised by large broken limbs.  I figure I'm not getting my power back until they get their power lines free of limbs, so I reported their addresses to the utility company.  Turns out neither had reported their situations.

     

    This is in one neighbor's yard beyond my back fence.  Can't say the line is on the ground, but close.

    Gotta get my little battery powered chainsaw and clean up my own.  Fortunately not near any lines!

    People insist on having trees near power lines! Drives me crazy! 🤪

    Exactly.  UNPITCHED musical instruments are still musical instruments.

    Whatever, you’re missing my point, I’m done with this conversation, have great day!

    I don’t think that stocks would help! These idiots want to be seen and recognized!  Hanging is a good idea, but not by gallows! String them up standing on the ground and then hoist them to where their feet are off the ground and let ‘em kick when they commit this kind of crime!

     

     

    No Pay-per-View without a public event! Those who wish to watch from home can certainly pay to see it, but do it on the “public square” or courthouse steps and take the kids out of school and have them watch!

     

    MAKE EVERY EFFORT to teach them that when you do things like this, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE SAME RESULT!!!

    The reason I said pay per view is so the victims family can be compensated! If it’s free no one gets any money!

    Earp was an average man of his day. Like most everyone, he had his moments, good and bad.

     

    As a celebrity in his day, he was probably subjected to closer scrutiny than most men of the era!

     

    Those who admired and respected him tended to idolize him and those who disliked and resented him demonized him.

     

     He was probably somewhere in between the two images portrayed.

    I wouldn’t say he was average, he’s was fairly tall for that time and he was a rough character from what I’ve read about him. As far as being a good guy or bad guy I agree he was somewhere in between.

    I was trying to point out that saying a certain class of musical instruments aren't musical instruments is silly.  

     

    I've not found any articles saying that drums are not musical instruments other than comments on discussion fora. They may be unpitched musical instruments,  but they are musical instruments.  

     

    There are some wind instruments that only produce one note.  Are they musical instruments?  Are Cymbals musical instrument? 

     

    40 mentioned the Jews Harp. Hold it in your hand and pluck it.   Barely any sound.  Is it a musical instrument?

    I’ve been a drummer since I was 15. I never considered my drums an actual musical instrument. I don’t play notes I play rhythms. I know they fall in the big category of musical instruments but all I’m saying is us drummers don’t play actual musical tones. Neither do any percussion instruments. Does a cymbal play a note. Mine don’t 😂
    A wind instrument that plays one note is certainly a musical instrument since it plays a pitch.

    Bring back stocks and public hanging.

     

    Thank our legislature for this "oh he had a rough life" bull feces. 🤬

    Put it on Pay per view and give some of the money to the victim’s family!

    When we built in 2012, we had 2 breaker panels installed.  One for stuff that we wanted on generator power and one not.  The outlet for the generator (by the basement garage door) is wired to the former panel, with a lockout.  We got this generator.

     

    When the power goes out, roll the generator out of the garage, plug it into its outlet (inlet actually), start it and then go switch panel 1 over to generator power.  If there's precipitation, we have one of those EZ-Up canopies to go over it.

     

    So, a manual system, but even with the extra wiring, a fraction of the cost of a Generac-type system, which we also considered.

     

    In our previous house we got away with a small Honda, just keeping power to the fridge, a small chest freezer and a few other essentials.

    My neighbor has that same setup. He’s only used it twice since 2000. We’ve been lucky here!

    Not sure about that anymore. The previews for the new Superman shows him getting his arse kicked and his dog having to drag him back to his cave. Gonna be an interesting new movie.

    Yea but kicked his arse? A super villain?🦹‍♀️

    Mine is a Generac. It came with the house. I would have a hard time spending the money to buy it but it is convenient.

     

    It does not power everything, for instance not the range or the 2nd AC in the extension. Does power primary AC, fridge, lights, and at least most plugs.

     

    Did have to replace the battery once (matched one up at AutoZone), replaced plugs and air filter once, and two oil changes so far. Service interval is two years but I now replace oil every spring*. Other than these costs, there is a natural gas connection. The only thing connected to gas is this generator. $8 per month for the connection, and a small usage charge every couple months. If there are no power failures for a while, it takes two to three months for the meter to register 1 CCF of usage. This from a weekly five minute self-test.

     

    * The oil gets milky from absorbed humidity. Not harmful per Generac, and will not cook out in self test or any length of idle time. According to Generac, it takes over an hour of high load running to generate enough heat for getting the water out of the engine oil. I still do not like it so I'm changing oil and filter every spring even though nowhere near 25 hours of run time.

    Interesting!🤔
