Widder, SASS #59054

I've seen the Eagle's twice. Both were fantastic concerts. Other favorites that sounded as good or better than the albums: Jimmy Buffet, Elvis and Ronnie Milsap in his younger years. But the best show... Music, singing performance and production was Rod Stewart. ..........Widder

We also had those M1's. PLUS, my Orlando visit was Mid June thru end of August. It was hot but I was heat acclimated and didn't suffer much. Hey Chief Rick..... we called it 'H3ll Week' and I served in the kitchen making do-nuts and pies about 14-15 hours a day for a whole week. After H3ll Week, we got to wear our white hats and we're no longer 'squirrels'. ..........Widder

We sure did. They fired off a few salvo's every Friday around noontime, when the graduation ceremonies were happening. And they made sure they were loud. ..........Widder

My Kimbers had a slightly tighter chamber but when I used .451 diameter SWC, they functioned flawless. .452's gave me some feeding issues in those Kimbers. As mentioned above, your OAL can be important. ..........Widder

Was the 'Parade Ground' still blistering hot during the summer months? I remember my first 'Friday' during camp when they fired off those big cannons during graduation ceremonies. I was slightly startled because I was sitting in a classroom. I started looking forward to hearing those cannons on Friday and looking forward to MY CANNONS firing. I will add that some of the finest people I've ever met in my life were some folks in the Navy: Master Chief Stockstill (ComSubRon18) Chief Barrios (ComSubRon18) LT. Semens (NavComSta, Morocco) ..........Widder

Yea, I agree. Some of the 'lefts' biggest mouths got on TV to disparage their performing for Trump. But I didn't hear anyone from the 'right' saying anything negative. As a super right winger, I was glad to see them perform and enjoyed the song once again. ..........Widder

I found a picture of my bootcamp days with names of 3 'campers'. I've often wondered if any of my fellow Cowboy shooters were there........ Campany 151. The names on the picture: Bolena, Pomaroy and Musso. I also remember a good friend name similar to 'Tess'. Any of you out there? I think 'Tess' was from Alabama. ..........Widder

Eh Weeee......... looks like another "V V"........ Video Victim! ..........Widder

I've never heard the song. BUT, there are some versus in the Bible about Goliath that references a his brother and then also refers to that same person as his son. Historically, the Philistines were known for incest, as were many back in those days. ..........Widder

I have USAA insurance for home, vehicle..... and a rider policy for just my guns. It was an added 'very little extra' expense into my policy. Some insurance companies have that service. ..........Widder

I'm incriminating for sure......... Plus, sometimes I make meowndangself look bad. P.S. - took me a couple seconds, but I thought that was Tom Selleck wearing some Foster Grants. ..........Widder

The oddity of some videos that show a penalty is that sometimes we read/hear that the WRONG penalty was actually called, i.e..... a Minor Safety is called a 'P' and vice-versa. And if some of you notice WHO may have called the wrong penalty, they have Black Pin certification. Yes, it happens. I ain't speaking for PWB (I wouldn't dare), but I bet he's wanted to pull out a few whiskers over those wrong calls. One of the reasons TW tries to stay updated and ensure his Black Pin is used and honored correctly is because he's always having to correct me..... ..........Widder

Good trade, RYE. The CZ 75's are great pistols. I have the CZ 75 P-01 and the Shadow II Compact. Great guns and great shooters. ..........Widder

You fellers qualify for 'Nanook of the North' award. Not me...... I'm still in hybernation for a few more months. ..........Widder

GENTLEMEN...... here's a trade secret. and believe me, I've done this a few times in my younger years when my thumbs were a little quicker. First, ya gotta wait till about sundown when all the wasp are on the nest. Or atleast you think all are on the nest. Second, don't go after BIG nest with dozens and dozens of wasp. Only attack those nest around 2" in diameter or so. Usually, only about a dozen wasp are present. Thirdly, try to use short barrel pistols. And try to use the .45 Colt 'BLANK' cases that will let you use shotgun primers. These give a better flash. When possible, stand on the ground and avoid being high on a step ladder. And never be afraid of those wasp or getting stung. Personally, I think they can sense 'fear' and will fly towards those with it. This technique won't kill them but it will singe their wings and keep them from flying at ya. Then, you can knock the nest down. AND, most importantly............ you will get faster with those pistols. ..........Widder

If you want to become faster, just load some 'primer only' shells in your pistols and attack a wasp nest with em. Of course, ya need to be close..... REAL CLOSE, and manipulate the hammer/trigger fast to 'burn their butts'. But, the practice will help you get faster. ..........Widder

This is sad indeed. Although we had never met, I always enjoyed reading his post on this Wire. He was a great Wire Pard. No doubt, he will be missed. Condolences to his family and his close friends. ..........Widder

Got it. They'll be placed in the mail tomorrow (Monday). Glad I could help. ..........Widder

Snow don't suck....... Snow Blows! Anyhow, the Widder clan jumps on the ATV and rides. I got normal lights plus 2 powerful light bars to light up the night for riding. The 5-6 inches we got was wonderful for fun riding on Friday. A family that rides together, stays together..... ..........Widder. (ridin in a Widder Wonderland)

Whisky, I got a couple of springs I can send you. Actually, I can send you 2 of those springs PLUS a longer, aftermarket spring that you can cut and size to your preference if you prefer. Send me a PM with your address and I will mail on Monday. EDIT: Lumpy's gunsmith rule #1: keep your screws tightened. Widder's gunsmith rule #2: Keep a good magnet/magnet bowl on your gun bench. ..........Widder

True story. Ya oughta see the size of the fish that was caught using that grasshopper as bait. ..........Widder

YES, this will work perfect if all you want to do is hold the safety in place. But is you want the safety to manipulate ON/OFF, the spring and ball is needed. ..........Widder

Whisky, any small spring that will fit into that hole will work....... and I probably have some because those size springs are similar to the ejector and extractor springs on the Henry .22 rifles. As mentioned above, you still must have the detent ball and set screw. Do you have those? If I have those size springs, I'll be glad to mail you a couple........ free. I gotta get down to my basement this afternoon and check. I'll get back with you. Dont forget to let us know if you still have the little ball and set screw. ..........Widder

Howdy REV. Indeed, your Marlin should have many years of life still left. I'll send you a PM with my phone number......or if you prefer, I will be glad to call you. ..........Widder

Sounds like another 'twisty' to me. ..........Widder
