I can't breath!
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Smokin Gator SASS #29736's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
One of my favorites I've heard more then once is "these aren't my pants" when the officer find drugs or other contraband in the pockets. -

I can go for that. But I'm referring to the so called criminal justice system. -
McDonalds Kiosk
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I've taken my grandkids to Taco Bell on the way home after an event recently. At this point I actually find using the kiosk easier then dealing with the counter people. -
Knock downs, popups, fallen targets
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Don Jorge's topic in SASS Wire
In USPSA, IDPA, ICORE matches a popper or plate that falls down without the shooter engaging it is considered prop failure. Mandatory reshoot. Now some local clubs may relax that a bit but that's not the norm. If a stage has to many issues they will toss the stage from the match. -
Just saw another of the many videos of a person committing a crime, climbing in out of windows, running, and then as they start fighting an officer but realize they're not winning they proclaim " I can't breathe". This sometimes becomes a problem for law enforcement if anything happens. If a victim is being assaulted by a perpetrator and the victim says "I can't breathe" shouldn't there be extra scrutiny and punishment if the criminal continues his attack? Of course there should be a severe enough punishment even without an enhancement but we know there seems to be more concern for the "unfortunate criminals" by many people then for their victims.

I was in line at a large grocery store, Winco in my area. I could tell watching ahead of me that the cashier was having a hard time. When it was my turn she manually entered the number for a couple of vegetables that I had. Both times I had to correct her. She'd re-enter incorrectly again. She called someone over. I handed her a couple of 20s and she was looking them over very carefully, holding them up to the light. Checking, rechecking. Never used the pen. After another person came over to help her get the correct items and prices entered they were finally successful. She then started over examining the bills again. I can't imagine how long she'd take if I'd handed her several hundred dollar bills

I have built all of our fences, pens, chicken pen, two small buildings for our donkey and goats. Added another fenced in area with a 20' by 20' barn when my wife wanted milk goats. Workshop 16 by 20. Porches, decks including roofs. Anyway I've done enough of that, saving a lot of money, that I don't mind paying someone for a couple of things I can't or don't want to do. I know things cost money, more than they used to, you just don't want to get ripped off. The one thing I've really been shocked by is the quotes friends have received for fencing.

We heat only with our woodstove. At first we'd go with family and cut wood. We'd get a little oak but mostly soft wood. The rest of the family just needed enough for an occasional fire. We needed more. The soft wood was a waste of time. One year the brother in law broke the rear end on his truck. That was the last trip. We live in Northern California, not snowed in or anything. Just gets into the 20s occasionally. I buy 2 cords of oak or almond wood or mixed each year. They deliver it, I stack it. We have had some eucalyptus cut on our property and used that too. We really enjoy the woodstove with glass door.

Yes. I've bought a couple of different caliber wadcutters from them. Easy transaction. Great bullets.

There's usually a few left over from when we have guests over. We just drink our well water. I do refill a couple of larger water bottles that I occasionally buy and keep them in the fridge. In our hot weather I have a larger double walled water bottle I fill and add ice to for the day. We were at our daughters in Chico and when I went to get water out of the kitchen faucet she came shooting across the room like it was poison. They drink filtered or bottled water.

Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe reinstated
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Whether or not he should reinstated is one thing. If they were not going to hold him to the lifetime ban it's a shame they waited until he passed. -
It may require a different mix for ease of pushing the bullets out of the cake and retaining the Lube in the groove.
-
It may take a few tries to get your preferred recipe and also how long to wait before pushing the bullets out. Also I don't know if it's harder to accomplish with bullets that aren't of the one big Lube groove type.

Rotator cuff surgery
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator's topic in SASS Wire
I had surgery on my right side 20 years ago. Took a while to get the surgery then 6 months rehab. I went back to work on modified duty after a while. It was depressing working without being able to have my fun on my days off. Hearing of others having to start over with surgery after trying to rush things too fast really convinced me to be careful, do the rehab but not push it. My shoulder is still in great shape. Good luck! -
He's also a huge Dicaprio fan!

I've always liked the Fred Astair and Gene Kelly movies. Watched many Mario Lanza movies too. Doris Day.

Gunpowder used in Civil War
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Warden Callaway's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I've always wondered about the quality of blackpowder back in the mid to late 1800s. Mainly for cartridge rifle and revolvers. We know that currently there can be a big difference in velocities if using cheap, low grade powders vs Swiss. A couple hundred fps difference sometimes. I wonder what commonly purchased 45 Colt ammo, for example, used back then quality wise. Mike Venturinos books listed many examples of 44 special, 44-40 and 45 Colt comparing the same loads with Goex 2f, 3f, Elephant, Swiss showing the performance of each. -
My sister always claimed she was allergic to anything she didn't want to eat that particular day. Obviously there are real allergies out there.

I just looked it up. Clear in this case means you can see light through it. No little bits or pieces of anything. No red or purple dyes. Nothing creamy looking. Beef chicken or vegetable broth. Apple juice, some sodas. Water of course. Black coffee or tea, no milk.
-
My doctor says broth coffee tea, nothing with red dye in it. Actually I've had 3 different doctors over the years. All the same. They have bounced around with the full 1 gallon jug of prep, half gallon or the soda sized bottle. But nearly always the 1gallon.
-
I used the better then boullionn to make cups of broth when I'm sick and it sounds good. Or prepping for a colonoscopy. You can make it the exact strength you prefer.

Remarkable memory powers
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 replied to Warden Callaway's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I've seen stories on waiters with incredible memories. Not so much about remembering regular customers. One I recall was a guy who could take orders without writing anything and without mistakes bring everything to the correct diner. The kicker was that he was known for his ability and customers would try to confuse him, switching seats, exchanging shirts with one another also the glasses they were wearing. Supposedly he was always successful. Nearly 50 years ago I worked at a liquor store across the street from a mall. Many regulars from the mall would swing by. I still remember this salesman at Montgomery Wards that would stop by after work. I had his items at the register by the time he came in. Pack of Kent cigarettes and a tenth of Port wine. I can still picture him. -
I use the jars of better then boullion too. They have others besides the usual beef and chicken.
