And a heartfelt sigh is heard from shooters in Canada. -
Peaceful as a thumb in a baby's mouth! Nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

WOW! Scary! We get them here as we are on the Rideau River, which is partly a fault line, but ours are so slight, we usually don't feel them, Something about the geology of our fault sliding in tiny increments and not getting stuck to allow a big lurch. The geologist, at NRC, (National Research Council), tell us we have little, unfelt tremors almost daily The only one I really felt was about 50 years ago, while I was on the John and it lasted about three or four seconds.

Two batter batches, one light in Baking Powder?

Not a thing here, in Ottawa, Canada. We still have some Air Raid sirens around, but not many and no new ones I am aware of.

AMEN and congratulations! As a fellow survivor, let me add my 2 cents to reinforce your admonition to get your prostate checked annually!! Annual physical September 2017, I was OK. The following August Dr J said OH-OH! I was 75 and had no noticeable symptoms, but it was a fast growing one. MRIs etc.. showed it had not yet spread. Estrogen hormone shots to slow the growth, (Sherron thought about getting me a training bra) followed by three weeks of beam radiation, then 60 "seed" implants, a catheter and a lot of Kegel exercises. Take aways: Always have digital exam included with your annual physical; Spread the word to your family and friends (My 34 year old nephew and his Doctor thought he didn't need one yet. GUESS WHAT!?!? They had two kids and he opted for surgery.) After effects are manageable with medication. (Flomax works) The dinky little triangle in the oncology suite wasn't good enough for this cowboy.

Spencer carbine
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 replied to Dawg Hair, SASS #29557's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I had one in .45 Colt, but the 7 shot part made me even slower, (something my pards thought was impossible!) I stopped because of my fumbling to load the last three through the open action. I now often wonder if the .45 Cowboy Specials would have worked and allowed more cartridges to be loaded in the tube? -
The Canadian Thread
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 replied to Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
What Nickle says: ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ In addion, the "0" shown indicate that BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan receive no "Equalization Payments", while $$$$ are drawn from them and redistributed to the other provinces, Quebec receiving the lion's share, currently 13.9 billion for the 2026/27 fiscal year, most of the largess taken from the west. Other provinces receive lesser amounts, as shown in the map, amounting to almost 13+ Billion to the remaining provinces. -

Ethan Hawke

Got that right. Had an example here a couple of years ago. Fellow from a different culture, kicked a girl's dog, while she was walking it on a leash. She reported it to her brother, who took exception to the action and made his displeasure known. -
The Canadian Thread
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 replied to Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Much of the wealth of the producing provinces is taxed away, to distribute to the have-not provinces, with little benefit, assistance or acknowledgement to the producers of the largess in all areas. The "tools" for separation were enacted to placate the sovereigntist sentiments of portions of the Province of Quebec. These "tools" may now be what breaks the country. -
Next time the power goes out
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 replied to Sedalia Dave's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Rye, I recommend getting a generator as soon as you can. We who live in outage prone areas owe it to the safety of our families and ourselves. EDIT: Just saw your above post. Good move! You won't regret it! -
At one time, British humour was pretty risqué. Today? Not so much.

Just finished watching High Noon again
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 replied to Forty Rod SASS 3935's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I always thought that no help from the townsfolk was pretty lame as well. (Wouldn't have even happened in the Canada of that time.) Most of the men had worn Blue of Grey not too long before and a lot of the woman were not inclined to tolerate nonsense. -
Slim, prayers are on the way south from the Northern side of the Medicine Line. Blessings+ Pard.

US FLAG Disposal
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 replied to PowderRiverCowboy's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
In Canada, we burn or bury a natural fiber National flag. A synthetic may be torn or cut into unrecognizable, single colour pieces and placed in the garbage or turned over to a flag manufacturer to recover usable portions. -
Heat loss with new born children. A lot of the body heat is lost through the head.

DeaconKC: Thanks for the prayers for Davinder (Debbie) Our Priest came to the CIU, anointed her and gave her Holy Communion. It really perked her up. I'm sorry to hear about your health issue and I can sympathize. I still get out in spite of my bad knees, using a cane and sitting as much as practical with my cane/stool. I sometimes have to fight off my Pards, who want to carry my long guns to the firing line. This is me March 21 at Winter Camp. While most ancestors seem to have been in the Union Army, I discovered my namesake was Pvt. in the 27th Georgia, so, ornery rebel that I am, that's one of my personas.

Just finished and e-filed my Income Gouging tax, printed the summary pages and mailed a cheque for what I owed. Big Red is a little better off, but still owes $$$$ GRUMP !! Get off the dang snow covered lawn before I kick ya! And pick up your own dog's droppings ya ^#^#^&*^( On the good side, SIL is doing better in hospital, but remains in the ICU with an internal infection. A prayer for Debbie's recovery would be appreciated.

A Dreadful Pondering
