Rex M Rugers #6621

I remember my last bike incident. Was riding down the sidewalk , coming up on a street crossing , with a curb on the other side. So , I thinks , I see kids hopping over curbs all the time. Sooo , I yank up on that handle-bar , no lift at all. Front tire hits curb , me and the bike do a 180 , I lands on my back with the bike on top. First thought was "Holy s##t , I hope I didn't break that left wrist again. (That's a whole nuther story) I looks around , nobody saw it. I really wish someone had filmed it. Be worth a lot of giggles. I gets up , check myself over, all O.K. This happened 9 years ago , when I was living in the small town of Crane, TX. I was 72 at the time. I recon some critters don't get wiser with age. Rex

Ben Johnson , World Champ one year , either Steer roping or Team roping , I don't remember which.

That is a pretty low number , Forty. I joined in 1991 , and my number is 6621. A few years later I upgraded to Life , and was offered to pick a number in the 5000 range , but just kept my original. Rex

Might be useful to list what sixguns the holsters fit. Rex

HELL , yeah , all 17 , plus the push button shifter on the Chrysler products. Rex , who was a kid in the 50's.

Congrats , Von Dutch. I think that I will call HQ in the next few days , see if I am qualified. Pretty sure I signed up early June of 1991. Rex

I have been aware of Remington closing down their Ilion plant for quite a while , but just this morning there was a big picture and story on my internet page. Whoever wrote it had a bunch of lever action Winchesters in the foreground of the picture , and the big headline about Remington closing the factory. See a lot of totally stupid stuff on this computer entertainment system. Every time, I think"Who the Hell writes this stuff. Is there no proofreading at all" Rex , with only a High School education.

I think that is from "Oklahoma" , where the two are bidding on either a cake or a pie or a picnic basket. Rex , who saw the movie about 60 - 65 years ago.

Actually , they were 9 oz.

I was looking over my powder inventory a few days ago and found a partial pound of 5744. Had no Idea when I bought it or why. Now I am reminded , I used to have a Sharps 45-70 several years back. Had to be for that. I haven't seen Unique in a long while locally , so I bit my tongue and ordered some from Natchez last week. No more than I get to shoot these days it will last me many years. I hope , anyway. I'd rather run out of powder than years . Rex

Trail Boss is (was) sold in 9 oz bottles. Same size as the regular 1 lb bottles most everything else comes in. It also came in 5 lb. jugs. It is a very light-weight powder. looks like tiny flat cheerios. Rex

Good on you , Slim ! I hope H.K takes you up on it. I suspect he will be a fun pard to visit with. I seldom travel 100 miles from my place , he lives about 2400 miles from here. Rex

Well , come on over and we can haggle. Call me when you are about an hour away. Rex
