Its not often I get to shoot with a good GF in person (with the exceptions of those local) and observe their GF abilities first hand.
At the TN State, I was privileged to shoot with a couple Texas gunfighters.
One was already JEDI.....Crooked Bullet.
The other is now JEDI GF #376: Hopalong ACE, also from Texas.
And previously under the radar and now a new JEDI is SPYKE..... from Genova, ITALY.
Congratulations to both......and may the force ride with you.

Ever Corn Snake I have encountered around here has been feisty. They didn't seem to like me
much and wanted poke at me. I'd still do what I could to move em on down the trail.
The Black Snakes seem to be more docile.....almost tame.

For Operation 10-Go, the plan for Yamato was to sail to Okinawa and ground it offshore as a stationary gun platform, as there wasn’t enough fuel available to make a return trip.
I've read the same information from numerous sources.

been a good time to kill them both
Oh no...... not around here.
Black snakes kill off rattlers and copperheads.
I don't like snakes but I try to avoid killing a black snake.

2 snakes mating!
A few decades ago, our house was built in the country with very few neighbors, lots of wooded areas and
lots of corn snakes and black snakes. Never seen a copperhead or rattler.
The past decade has saw more growth and fewer snakes. Actually, I haven't seen a good snake in
the past few years.
Day before yesterday, I saw a nice Garter snake crawling across the road in front of the house.
And then today, I saw a super rare snakes mating.
I was walking out my back door, headed to my basement when I noticed a 'black clump' of something
about 30 feet from my deck. I first thought it was a black snake....... but it was 2 black snakes.
They were mating.
Both tails were sticking up in the air and you could clearing seeing their 'connection'.
I got to watch about 10-12 minutes before it was over and they both crawled back into the woods below
the house. One of them was about 3 1/2 ft long and the other was about 4 ft long.
Both were docile as I approached them and both of them lazily crawled away, unalarmed by my presence.
It was a super rare occurrence.

Well, well. Ole TN Williams is wanting to buy one of my .32 Marlins.
Sooooo, I told him what I might sell it to him. So, he offers to buy it but
also wants to 'make payments' every month for a few months.
Yea, like I believe he will send me money.
Anyhow, I told him to send me a few hundred bucks and I would send him the lever.
Then in 30 days, when he sends me more money, I would send him the trigger and parts.
Then the stock and bolt.
And finally, after his last payment, I would send him the receiver and barrel.
Don't Y'all think this is the best way to deal with ole TW?

Hey Capt BB,
You friend and our Wire Pard.....TW..... says to tell you this shot is painful. But don't worry about it because after
you pass out from the pain, they got methods to wake you back up. And your blurred vision will
also go away.
He said the 'flatus' effect will eventually subside, but until it does, your friends will keep their distance.
He also said counting numbers became confusing and he had trouble counting to 10, which resulted in
a few 'P's and live rounds left in his rifle. But not to worry, your friends will understand and offer
you a free DQ treat.
And when you talk in your sleep, you better hope your guns are named Betty and Sue.
Just wanted to share some useful advice. Hey, what are friends for.

Capt BB,
what causes that problem?
Is it a form of arthritis?

Looks like the curse of the Banty Rooster Chicken Foot has got ya.

I grew up in E.Tennessee and loved country music........ BUT, The Beach Boys were probably
my favorite group. From Surfing USA, I Get Around, 409 and my favorite..... SURFER GIRL.
The 1st concert I ever attended were The Beach Boys in Knoxville.
RIP MR. WILSON. Thank you for the music and memories.

Rye, you are correct.
He IS your Dad. He will always be your dad. Even after you're deceased, Sam IS your dad's name.
He IS Sam.

I'm no English master. It WAS, and still IS, my worse subject (math and history were my best).
Anyhow, I figured WAS signified the past and IS signified present
So in essence, my dad's name, regardless of living or dead, IS .........................
Once deceased, I guess it could be conceived that he WAS my dad. BUT, he IS still my dad.
Maybe that's why English was never my forte.

I have been having some bad dreams. So..... I went to the doctor.
I explained that in one dream, I was a Tent.
In another dream, I was a Wigwam.
The doctor said....."There's nothing wrong with you. You're just two tents. (tense)".

Your dad is deceased. An acquaintance meets you and ask:
What IS your dad's name?
or.....
What WAS you dad's name?
Do you reply:
1. My dad's name WAS (example only) John Smith
or.....
2. My dad's name IS John Smith.
Thanks

The "Train Wreck Award" is a good idea.
I like that.

I know (present and past) Cowboy shooters who took the Evil Roy class and most of them never
reached close to being a top shooter........ BECAUSE they never practiced the techniques that Evil
Roy tried to convey to them.
Sure, they remembered what he told them. They remembered watching him give demonstrations
and some personal 'hands on training'. But without hours and hours of correct practice, they never
achieved their goals.
I do think it is wise to seek out and try to get some personal help from a top shooter(s).
But in all that, there will be techniques that you can adapt to quickly and some you can't.
Evil Roy is considered a very good shotgun shooter. His technique works for him..... but not for me.
Deuce Stevens is a first rate shotgun shooter and his 'over the top' works for him..... but not for me.
Sante Fe River Stan is a first rate shotgun shooter and his '3 in one hand & 1 in the other' works for him.....
but not for me.
And MY technique works well for me but not for many others.
Don't be discouraged during your learning and practice sessions. New skills take time and effort.
For some.....more effort is required than for others. Especially for us older folks.
Most clubs have some good, seasoned shooters that can help critique your style, shooting techniques,
and equipment. As mentioned above, film yeowndangself and you will probably learn a lot.
Best regards.....and good luck.

It don't hurt so bad when a Texican whoops up on a
Tennessean. After all, they are Texicans because of
a few Tennesseans.....
I got to shoot with a Posse full of Texicans and thoroughly
ENJOYED it. Would love to have them back for a repeat
performance.
Safe travels to all of them.

Interesting SCAM (?)
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
Twice in the last month, I have gotten a message ON MY PHONE that I have an outstanding
traffic ticket with the State of Tennessee, of which I am a resident.
Well, I have NO vehicle violations, moving or otherwise. I even have a PERMANENT license plate due to my
VA disability, so no renewal is required.
I surely don't want to reply to these messages as it could open the door for more communications of which
I'm certain is a SCAM.
Are any of you familiar with this type activity?
Does the Dept of Motor Vehicles make contact with drivers in this manner?
