Smokin Gator SASS #29736

I went ahead and got 10,000 Federal spp. I haven't ordered any since before covid and still have a good amount. I haven't tried any of the various cheaper primers other then some old Wolf primers I had around. Just decided to get some as kind of a safety net. I am loading more spp ammo now then I used to vs lpp.

I found a place that has large sized hats. The only cowboy type are more of the Aussie hat style. For baseball type hats some of them range from 7 5/8 to 9 1/4. Bucket hats. English newsboy caps. Derbys. Not all of them are in the biggest sizes but many up to the 8 1/4 size. Lamood big hats.

A roommate of mine many years ago came home after a night out at the bars. He lived in a separate little building behind the main house we were renting. He put a couple of hotdogs in a pan on the stove and passed out. It was unbelievable the amount of smoke that two burning hotdogs could create.

That's not exclusive to SASS.

My initial attraction to SASS was precisely that it wasn't more plinking with 22s. The idea of shooting big bore 44 or 45 caliber single action revolvers really excited me. I always shot 44 Specials and occasionally 45 Colt.

I don't watch much in the way of sports these days. But I still love seeing videos or reading stories about players making it to the big leagues for the first time. Family members watching them get their first hit or home run. I just read about a pitcher who came up to the Mariners in 2023. He was talking to his folks about his next pitching start and then asked if they wanted to go to Atlanta after that. They knew that meant he'd made his first all star team. After all of the years of practicing and games with the small chance of playing major league baseball those stories really make me smile. To see your kid achieve that.

June Lockhart just turned 100 on the 25th!

Going by his attitude and the look on his face making that last statement he did not appear to be "totally drunk" to me. Been drinking, yeah. But not sloppy drunk.

That article does not identify what he initially said. It just says that he said "I just said hi to his mom." as they were about to eject him from the game after he had made the offensive comment. And the look on his face, his attitude? Yeah. Lifetime ban is fine.

Some of these guys sit in the stands and go too far with the comments or insults. They feel they are safe from a player coming after them and are just waiting for the opportunity for a payout. If this guy made some specific comment knowingly making fun of the players dead mother, I'm good with a lifetime ban. I remember when a couple of punks were yelling comments about Tony Larusa's wife from the safety of the stands. He went over there and there's no doubt in my mind that he could have beaten them to a pulp if he wanted to. But they're hiding in the stands ready for a lawsuit.

I don't make real authentic tacos or burritos. Just my home made take on them. One of my favorites is to smoke/grill a couple of tritips. The first night I'll just eat the tritip along with whatever else we have. I'll grill zucchini with them. After that I really love making burritos out of chopped up pieces of the tritip. Meat, salsa, peppers, onions. Whatever you like.

I don't go to Walmart that often. I just put up with it for my occasional needs that I get that there.

If you're only talking 2-3 hundred rounds a month it's a cheaper way to get started. And you can still use the single stage for somethings if you upgrade to a Dillon.

For someone starting shooting matches it's pretty easy to set up a single stage press and load a few hundred rounds per month. Buy your shotshells.

I don't need a fancy room but there is a limit to what I expect in a hotel/motel. Specific areas can be more expensive for both the cheaper or nicer places. I have intended to stay somewhere and when I saw it just turned around. If I can find a cheap place that's decent, clean, I'll take it. But I'll spend more if I need to without hesitation.

My daily glasses are actually progressives.

Had cataract surgery a few months ago. Got distance lenses in both eyes. Can use non prescription sunglasses. I got bifocal glasses with a very small distance correction and set up at bottom for readers. I wear them nearly all the time instead of constantly putting readers on to read or use my phone. As far as shooting goes. I have new Hunters Gold with distance in left eye and front sight focus in dominant eye for iron sights. They work great. I had a pair made years ago but as my cataracts and vision worsened they were eventually of no use. For shooting with a red dot optic I use non prescription shooting glasses.

How often did you dump the garbage can? We have been here with our septic for over 30 years. We use decent toilet paper but not the ultra cushioned type. No issues. I don't think many households with septic are not flushing toilet paper. We did have to tell my mom not to flush other feminine products when she lived with us.

I get what you're saying but you still might not want to get additional soap, fabric softener, etc. into your septic tank. The laundry and dish water going into the septic is unavoidable. My daughter was having an issue with their septic. They use the thickest, softest, pillowy toilet paper they can find. Also not the best idea.

The toll I mentioned in my previous post is for a toll bridge. If I go down to Richmond, CA. on the drive back you have to pay the toll. It used to be manned and you could pay as you went through. For years now they just mail you the invoice. Local commuters set up automatically. I have correctly received the toll payment request several years ago. Paid it, no problem. But for the latest scam attempts I have not been down there in several years.

Several times at protests she was involved with I've seen photos of her being carried away by 3 or 4 policeman. She's just leaning back with a smug smile on her face collecting her paycheck.

I've had the pay the toll fee before it becomes delinquent texts recently.

Remember when she came here for a climate conference? She refused to fly because of carbon emissions. But she would travel on a sailing ship. Crew members flew on jets to man the ships negating any carbon emissions savings. They hated to admit it but claimed Thunberg traveling on a sailing ship was symbolic. Similar to all the private jets that travel to these conferences.

My knee started really hurting. I'd sit to pull on shoes and socks but would sometimes feel a ligament or tendon catch. I knew when I'd straighten my leg out I'd feel it pop. It got bad and I went to the doctor. He directed me to another place where they recommended the shot. If it didn't help there could be one more shot. If it did help but only for a short time they'd have to check further. I thought no way that a shot is going to fix this. I was sure it was surgery time. I got the shot. I also started putting my foot up on a chair in front of me and pulling my sock on that way without sitting and bringing my leg up. That was many years ago and I've never had another problem.

Underwear and shaving supplies locked up in my area. Along with many other things.
