  1. Many years ago when I was young, dumb, and adventurous I started using one. It came with a removable guard which you would use until you became proficient and then you would remove the guard and either get a good shave or slice your throat. After a while it just lost its appeal and I went back to safety razors. Funny thing, I never liked electric ones.
  2. Most of my knives are Wusthof. I also have a couple of Cutco. Several years ago my father-in-law was trying to cut a slab of frozen meat by banging it with a wooden pestle and managed to break the tang under the grip.. This was a 4.5 inch Wutshof butcher knife. Next day I went to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy another one. I told the sales lady what had happened and that I wanted to replace it. She then asked me if i still had the knife and if I did to bring it in to the store. I did that and she gave me a new one free of charge and told me Wusthof has a lifetime no questions asked guarantee. The price of the knife, was about $65.00. I don't know anyone else with that type of warranty I have gifted Wusthof knives to both my daughter and my oldest grand daughter.
  3. Any 45-70 recoil can be brutal. I have a Pedersoli Springfield Trapdoor Carbine which turned my right shoulder into a black mess. Now i'm 82 and bleed a lot so that's not surprising, but the experience led me off high power carbines. Your gun, your choice, but I'd stay with the longer barrel.
  4. Costner has come a long way since "Silverado". I used to not really like him until he played Frank Hamer in "the Highwaymen". I think he plays good roles now.
  5. In the movie York uses a 1903 Springfield and several lugers. In reality York used an Enfield 17 and a Colt 1911. They used Lugers instead of the 1911 because at the time they could not figure out how to make the 1911 cycle with blanks. I have no idea why they used 03' instead of Enfields, though.
  6. Good luck with that one, Bob, I've been looking for one for years, but it seems they have turned to gold or something.
  7. Nice hearing from you UB, hope you are doing well.
  8. Who else, beside me, will not be watching it? I'd rather watch the Puppy Bowl or the Dr. Pimple Popper show.
  9. I hear you. During the Tampa Bay Doldrums of summer I lovingly await days like today, but, unfortunately at my age (almost 82) my insides get colder faster than my outsides and I'm hunkering in my house and layering myself with all kinds of heavy woolies.
  10. 39 degrees F in Central Florida at 8:45 AM. I can't imagine nor want to know what it's like up in the northern Tundra states. So much for global warming!
  11. SD Joe, you come up with the most incredible stuff. I watched the pics for over an hour but have no idea how many you posted. Some depict the most horrible scenes of WWI. Thanks for posting, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
  12. Well good for you and yes I hope you get another 20 years here. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
  13. I've tried to convince my 17 year old grandaughter about that and have been informed I know nothing of fashion! I think every hole doubles the price of the jeans.
  14. I just had to say goodby to the sweetest angel that walked on four paws. She was suffering from continuous seizures and there was no cure. Thank you, Sadie Aria for the wonderful nine years you gave us. I'm 81 myself and in so-so health so we may meet again soon.
  15. From being from such a small island the Brits sure had a large appetite. Heck, they even owned half of France at one time. I wonder if being of Germanic descent had anything to do with it? Look at them now.
  16. Like Mahnna? Sounds wonderfully miraculous!
  17. I'll be coming over about noon to help you with your haul! YUMMEEE!
  18. I say, didn't that gallant WWI ace pilot Snoopy.............................sorry, that's still classified.
