    I wanted to say HELLO and introduce myself to you all ---took a minute to get myself signed up on here... I would like to thank personally for pointing me in the right direction, is Mr. Cowtown Scout --- THANK YOU Sir!!!

    I'm from the west side of the metro Phoenix area, usually can be found out at Ben Avery on weekdays and every once in a while, at Cowtown.  I do not have an SASS # yet, so I listed myself as a Guest-Green Horn (which isn't far from the truth).  I would greatly appreciate help, tips, tricks etc, to help me learn CAS shooting.  I did pick up Evil Roy's 4 DVD video set to watch and also Captain Baylor’s Big Bad Book of Cowboy Action Shooting to read.  Have an OV Ruger 45 colt Vaquero, Rossi 92 in 45 Colt and a Colt G series Peace Maker 22lr/22wm.  Going to make it out to EOT tomorrow and try to absorb all the information that I can from everyone,,,,

     

    If you see some middle aged guy wandering like a kid in a toy store...possibly me...LoL

     

    respectfully,

    Steve

    Hey Dr. Zook

    You need to make it out there on Saturday, watch some shooting, visit vendors, talk to folks, try some fast draw if that is set up again this year.  Hope you were able to get your wife to go with you.  Let us know how it went for you.

    This is a touchy subject with me...............

     

    There is a young gal who is going to school in Canada with the EXACT name as I.  My email address is FIRST(DOT)LAST@EMAIL.COM.  Her email is FIRSTLAST@EMAIL.COM.  Recently, she has applied for a couple of car loans (yes I've seen her credit score :o ), She has Uber Eats deliver food a couple of times a week, she buys lots of jewelry from Ross & Simons, I've even seen the lab results from her doctors visits.  I have asked her several times to please change her email address and she refuses.  I've told her of all the things I see that she probably wouldn't want me to see and she still refuses.  She claims since her email address is not the same as mine, I shouldn't be getting her emails, yet I do.  She believes that the software should be intelligent enough to differentiate between the two names.  

     

    I have started labeling the emails sent to her as spam in an effort to stop receiving them.  Every time I have contacted her to bring an end to this mess, she is really vile and rude, telling me if I don't like it I need to change my email address.  (I had this email address before she was even a concept.) I believe there is a bit of narcissism in her behavior.  If this email weren't my "private" email that everyone who needs to contact me has, I would change it in a minute.

     

    As for the OP, I attempted humor at first, mentioning what she had for dinner the night before (from the Uber Eats receipt) and politely mentioning if she didn't want me to see any more of her info, she might want to change her email.  That was a couple of years ago and she has gotten progressively mean and vile.  Now I just send it to spam and move on.

    You should start replying back to emails for her with "you have the wrong email address" and leave it at that. :ph34r:

    got them.  Nine hats, at least 8 pairs of chinks/chaps,  and about 14 pairs of boots.  Outfits are NUMEROUS.  Where am I going to put  ammo for Tumbleweed, EOT, and warm ups?  O, then there are match guns, back-ups, and back-ups to the back-ups.  

    So is that two pair each for you and all the rest is for SASSY?  :P

    Ok so this is only a 38 Special chamber only. Sorry I am just getting back on my feet from open back surgery but I will measure the carrier. I have had many appointments the last few days. So the dummy round acts too long in the chamber and the lever will not close. My reloading books, one specific I use for this round, has a minimum overall length for the 158 Grain LRFP bullet with 5.0 grains of True Blue, a start load. Let me get some measurements and I will report back.

    Wish you the best with recovering from your back surgery.

    In the Soviet Union, school children were trained in the use of gas masks and families were given gas masks, to be used in case of nuclear attack!

     

    Well we were trained as children at school to duck and cover at our desks or along the wall in the corridor for nuclear attack. :unsure:

  6. Keeping the Peace - the B-36 | Lockheed Martin

     

    B-36 Peacemaker Museum - Wikipedia

     

    According the the wikipedia page there are only 4 left in existence.  As a kid I got to see the one on display at the Greater Southwest Inernational Airport before it was moved and that airport was replaced by the DFW Airport.  Then as an adult I got to see it again when it was on display outside of General Dynamics now Lockheed adjacent to Carswell Air Force Base now the Joint Reserve Base.  Also on display there was a B-58 and F-111 all three having been produced there at the Bomber Plant number 4.  I did a lot of work at that facility when I worked for an Architect in Fort Worth.  Some times referencing 1941 War Department Drawings from when it was constructed.  Then I got to see the same B-36 at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson AZ on one of my trips to Winter Range.  That is where it is currently on display.

    Not real computer smart but I have done fair share of searching with no results on old EOT and Winter Range.  Perhaps I am looking for archives that are to old, but I do believe they are somewhere.  Looking for results from 2005 and forward, especially 2006 and 7.

    Looking for some names of folks I shot with but forgot their alias.  Example Badlands Ben and Shalako Joe's parents

    If you look close you will see the plug for the lamp on the top of the desk not plugged into anything.
