Did y'all know that using WHITE canvas on covered wagons in a parade celebrating the Oregon Trail migration is RASIZT!!
The organizer of the event has ordered that the covers be "colored" (i.e. anything other than WHITE).
So White Sox and White shirts are now a no-no? Does this mean also that using the words The "White" House, might cause problem?

Just wait...if you have Citizens Insurance, Citizens (thanks to the Florida Legislature) is forcing all Citizens policy holder to purchase Flood Insurance regardless of home elevation. Whether you're 2' high or 200' high, it doesn't matter, get flood or get dropped.
Ours is so high now that without a substantial drop next year, we will not be able to afford it any longer.
Check out Kin insurance or Loggerhead insurance. Many in our subdivision are going and recommending them.

Its not just car insurance, home insurance is getting ridiculously high. I personally know 3 people that no longer have house insurance cause they can't afford it. In Florida many insurances drop you, or won't insure your home if over 30 years old. Next door neighbor is paying 4850.00 a year on a 340,000.00 home with all kind of stipulations on it. We're wondering ourselves in 3 years when our home is 30 years old if our insurance will drop us, or double our present rate of 1500.00 a year.

Glad I could help.....I think.
That extra pin material could come in handy. That pin is less than 1/16" and easy to damage when you whack it with a hammer.
I used a nail set to tap it in. Was afraid also of damaging pin, its tight. This Handy dandy should make it easier to remove and reset pin.

I have a mental list of actors that is they are starring in a movie, I won't go to see it in a theater as a portion of that money goes to the commie actor. The list is long, so I don't go see a whole lot of 1st run movies. I will watch a movie starring some of these actors if it's on one of the streaming services as they don't make any money directly from me.
I looked up who Ritchson is and at least he is (sort of) American. It really pisses me off when a foreign actor starts degrading Americans or our rights while living the good life here in the US. If they want to live here fine but stfu about our laws and Constitutional rights or go back to your own damn country.
You watch the movie or show, you support the actor. Supporting the actor then gives them the agenda needed to push their beliefs onto you. In private, I ignore and walk away from these kind. In the entertainment area, I just don't watch and support them and increase their ratings. To each his own and how far one goes in maintaining their rights and liberties.

We found it's not hard to stop watching shows or movies with actors that are leftist and try to convince us the public they know more then we do.

And, don’t forget to remove and clean under the handy dandy new extractors! The carbon build up gets under it and, over time, lifts the extractor and it can’t engage the fired case. I have a handy dandy gadget for such.
Glad you’re back in business. You remind me that I need to add one to my travel kit.
Glad you came to SC.
Hugs!
Scarlett
Were does one get that Handy Dandy kit? Thanks

New ones are going for 900. Vintage S&W Iron's been bringing a premium for quite a while. Round here prices I've seen (that actually sell) and what's online, yours because it's a dash-1 might bring a tad more. Or not. Depends. (<<--Standard Advice Disclaimer)But I 'spect you knew that already.
Range would be from 900- to 1500.
Thanks. Its the range I seen though was surprised one I was following sold for 1800.00. More then what I would ever ask for. I sold a nickle plate Model 19-4 couple months back for 1000.00. But that was the average. This one, the 19-1 I have seen past couple months all over the place. A beat up one went for 800.00 with the grips replaced, and scarred up bluing. I use to use GunBroker as a reference for selling, but lately some have tons of cash and ridiculous asking to open.

Its gotten to were I don't even know without selling on one of the gun sites, what to ask for a firearm. Been thinking of selling my S&W Model 19-1 with original box and paper work, but the askings and final sales are all over the map. Some excessively over what I would ask.

For those interested. Missouri and Massachusetts were the first states to require driver licenses for operation of a automobile. Passed in 1903.
In 1899, Chicago and New York passed a law requiring registration and an exam for the operation of automobiles. New York only allowed engineers to drive steam powered vehicles, cars.

Kind of funny this post reminds me of a time when we traded in our 36ft Bayliner in for a 48ft Carver. In initial encounter with the salesman we told him we were interested in a boat that would handle our interest in island hoping, Bahama's, Jamaica, Bermuda, etc. He faced us both and said they don't sell boats, they sell Yatchs but would take our boat in for a trade.

Marshal, I'm quoting you only because you are the first (or is it last??) to make this comment.
Stage instructions:
With pistols, first engage the five bottles then place all remaining rounds on the dump plate.
With rifle, engage the 10 rifle knock-down targets.
Anyone stating that these are poor stage instructions, please explain how this could be written any more clearly.
I only wrote that, because of the different opinions that were posted. If the posters were spotters, their opinions would be their calls. So apparently there is not a consensus on the stage writing, or explanations for the spotters here.

Surprised residents of Californians aren't charged for the air they breathe yet??

Miss. Intruction clearly state that the rifle Targets are to be engaged with the rifle. 10rds. One rifle target was not engaged with a rifle rnd. Rather the rnd missed the intended target. Only 9 were knocked down with instuctions for the rifle. So a Miss. If pistols had been first then followed by rifle, shooter would just have to shoot were it was.
Seems like poor stage instructions and target placements.

That’s refreshing, my uncle used to own a dealership years ago and he said the extended oil change intervals that many manufacturers recommend were driven mainly by the cost of ownership/pollution numbers that the manufacturers have to report to the government. And I’m guessing a little planned obsolescence thrown in .
I saw an interview with a retired Toyota engineer where he recommended 10,000 if you’re leasing “because then you just don’t care”. If you’re planning on 200,000 for your length of ownership changing every 5,000 and if you’re one who wants to drive it forever every 3,000 . Also every six months even if you’re at less than 3000. He did mention that a diesel can go longer than a gas motor, mileage and time wise being that diesel isn’t a solvent like gasoline. He also recommended changing all fluids at least every 50,000. And mentioned that while most plugs the manufacturers install now will last 100,000 many times you can have them seized in the head if you leave them in that long , so at 50,000 at least break them loose.
When I was a kid before the days of synthetic oils I remember most places always recommended 3000 for engine oil. I found it interesting that this engineer would recommend the same with today’s synthetics . But car maintenance is another one of those things that you can start a bar fight over .
Remember back when your new car had a break-in period? Not to go over a certain MPH and change oil and filter at 500 miles? Wonder what changed? Tolerances not as tight?

Me and BlueJeans had been talking over buying a new vehicle. Watching You
Tube Videos, going over manufacturers build-it pages. Details of add ons, etc. What we wanted and what we decided on based on quality, reviewss, and costs, we settled on a King Cab Nissan Frontier. Checking local inventories of Dealers in area we found what we wanted and went to check out the vehicle. A salesman met us, we discussed the vehicle we wanted and if still in stock. Yes it was and asked for test drive. When we got back the salesman asked how we liked it and we told him we wanted to talk it over and would let him know the next day. No hard sale, or asking us what we had for trade, etc. Just a thank you and hoping we would be back if everything was to our satisfaction in the vehicle.
We talked it over that evening, decided how much to put down and which vehicle we wanted to trade in. Our 2018 car or our 1999 Ford Ranger.
Next morning we drove our 2018 car, met the salesman and negotiated. Our car was appraised. Figures came out. Manufacturer had a 2000.00 incentive off the suggested price. Dealer had a 5000.00 incentive added to this (neither off which we had expected nor mentioned the day before).
When the offer came, and we were surprised how much was offered for our vehicle, just to play the game I told salesman to add another 1500.00 for the offer of our trade in we would purchase the new vehicle. Wasn't 10 minutes later salesman came back and said manager accepted the deal.
Now the goodies, nost dealerships have all kinds of add on to raise their profits and we expected them. But dealer only added, sales tax, registration and license, and a 50.00 office fee. With trade in, incentives, and down payment cash, we have a 3 year loan at 1.9%.
Now the kicker added, this is funny. The Manager came out and said if we wanted a car besides our new truck, knowing we had a 1999 Ford Ranger, they had several last year new EVs autos and would take 18,000.00 off sticker asking and offer us 5000.00 for our Ranger. We said thanks, but no thanks.
The whole process that morning took only 1 hour. They said to come back by 2PM and the new truck would be detailed, etc. for us to pick up. It was.
Have to say, this has been in my years before dealing in buying a vehicle the easiest, and most stress free experience ever. I would go back to this dealer again. Oh, 6 free oil and filter changes included.

Getting back to Alpo's original post. When producer are interested in a certain actor to play a part. They contact their agent with the script who then present it to the actor to read over and reason why he or her are wanted along with the offer for the part. The actors reads his parts. If he or her disagree on certain things in the part or script changes are forwarded and negotiated.
Now on those that are cast members, changes can be requested when scripts are handed out, during rehearsel, or even if parts can be exchanged. That's why final scripts have different colored pages. Red changes made by directors/ producers, yellow for charcter changes, etc.
Actors have and still turn parts down. One good example is present actor Neil McDonough who values, values in a script.

How true. What I'm seeing at these campuses, the type of flags being carried and support for an enemy, I think about what happened in Germany in the 30s and no one complained.
