Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life

The books were great, the movies not so much. I was turned off immediately with Tom Cruise cast as Reacher so never watched any after the first one.

Been up this trail to the top of Whitney many times. When I was 18, I hiked the John Muir Trail with 2 friends from start to finish. Took 2 months and we had a blast.

We had a great time at that shoot and really enjoyed feeding our group. Changed some peoples mind about the taste of wild game meat too!

I too use Boattail bullets in all my hunting and target loads. I load them for .300 Wby Mag. 30-06 25-06 and .220 Ackley Improved Swift. Bettet accuracy and velocity. This is my .220 , notice the chrono velocity. I also did the stockwork on it.

Our local Safeway market had it's Easter sale when it sells big hams and prime rib for really cheap prices. I bought a large prime rib and cut it into really nice rib eye steals. The prime rib was on sale for 5.98/pound. It weighed 9.8# and I got 10 nice steaks out of it. Rib Eyes for 5.98 a pound, what a buy! I also cut off the ribs and put them in my smoker and then grill them. We do it every year when they have a sale at Easter and Christmas.

Our shooting club's outdoor range is planning on recovery/recycling of the lead/copper bullet residue in our berms. We don't have a shotgun range so no lead shot recovery possible. We are looking for any experience or advice with contractors who do this work.

Here a Game Warden has the right to search a residence without a warrant if they suspect a fish & game law has been broken.

What has that got to do with Game Wardens and search warrants?

In the states I have hunting experience in (over 10) , Game Wardens do not need a warrant if they believe you have violated a hunting/fishing law.

Well said!

I have a friend who I hunt big game with . He has one of the new hot 6.5's. Expensive rifle & ammunition. He got just over 700 rounds thru the barrel and it was done. He put on a new barrel (2500.00) and said hope it last as long as the first one!!!

Amen to that! Or in Hawthorne < Ca at the Northrop buildings at Hawthorn Airport that it bought from Northrop when the 747 Program was sold by Northrop and moved out.

I still have my slide rule. I remember all the IBM cards we punched to ad data and program the old mainframes. The SRB's were towed into port by tug. Flushed down with fresh water and disassembled for reuse. Sometimes the cases used to make the SRB bodies could not be reused, depending how much erosion was present around the O ring seals.

I am a product of the 60's thru the 80"s. I started working on the Apollo/Saturn Program when I graduated from college in 1963. Worked on the Space Shuttle after the Apollo was done. Stayed in the Industry until I retired in 2000 at 58 years old. Back then if our people had access to the computer technology we have today, they would have knocked it out of the ballpark a lot faster (and cheaper) then we did then. We had brilliant minds that advanced state of the art technology with tools that would seem like those the Wright Brothers used to todays engineers! I consulted for Space X when they were just starting before 2000 and they have done one thing that I thought impossible when I first worked with them....that is recovery and reuse of their booster . We did that on the Space Shuttle, but it was very rudimentry when compared to what they do today.

Not sure, but I believe that you have to be a Life member to vote on anything.

They should send them out automatically as earned. especially for Life members. I have been a Life member for over 15 years and have never heard of them.

You are right about Freshman not playing varsity sports. I had a football scholarship to a major west coast university (i959 thru 1963) and I had to play freshman football. I remember when Babe Ruth's HR record was broke and they put an asterisk beside Roger Maris's 61 HR's. But not there anymore, even Hank Aarons record too. Her record is her record to stand until someone else breaks it......no asterisks please!

Better picture. I do love this hat.

Custom hats are not cheap! My wife bought me a custom hat from Nathaniel (used to be in Mancos, Co, now in Texas). It was $800.00 and was beaver and that was 15 years ago.

He is a Brother Mason........!

I vote every year and have for the last 20 years or so. I NEVER vote for an incumbent director or one nominated by the a Director or the Nominating Committee. This year, I think I only voted for 9 Directors and my self as a write-in. The only way to get change is to elect new people!

The 03 is the one that best represents what the 1903 is all about.

I have 3 of them, but all have been sporterized. One in original military clothing will be pricey! This one is the first one. I got it when I was 12 and of course I had to make it look like all the modern rifles. It has the second stock I made when I was 18. The second one is a .220 Ackley Improved Swift. All that is left from the Springfield is the action. I made the stock too.

The Olds had the awesome J-2 option for their 371 ci engine. I bought one from a junkyard in 1960 and put it in my 56 Ford 1/2 ton PU. It was really fast, used to drag race it. I always like the 57 Fords. I have one, a Ranchero with a Pantera 351 Cleveland engine. Lots of fun to drive.

Jack Reacher does!
