  1. By some accounts, Richthofen, (the Red Barron) was shot down by infantry rifle fire. Autopsy results seemed to back that claim.
  2. Ain’t as bad as Love Bug season in Florida!!
  3. The ship had no intention of going under the bridge. Wind and the current took it into the bridge! Without power, the ship was adrift!!
  4. At least the SPAD wasn’t like the other French plane, the Newport!! The SPAD didn’t shed its top wing in a dive!!
  5. I had a pair that I bought for my grandson. .38 special, blued, 4 3/4 barrels. They shot well and never gave any problems. Turned out, he liked Schoolmarm’s Blackhawks better and they fit his hands better as he grew up. Nice little revolvers!
  6. We need to demand that the rights that have been diminished and circumvented be restored! ALL OF THEM!! Then, when they refuse and argue and squak, demand that compromise that gives us back some of those rights, just like the antis have always done! When we get even a little concession, TURN AROUND AND DEMAND SOME MORE!!
  7. YEAH! Weed and pest control!!!
  8. OKAY! We’ve tried several different ways to say “past its use by date”! How about ANCIENT???🙄
  9. I keep bottled water in the fridge in the shop. We don’t have running water out there, (yet) and it’s a pain to walk over to the house for filtered drinking water. We’re out of the urban services district, so there’s no sewer service and I don’t want shop stuff getting into my septic system. I keep soft drinks and water in a small fridge along with some ice and sometimes sandwiches and the like for when I don’t want to traipse into the house in dirty clothes! &nbsp We have filtered water in the kitchen that we use to make ice and for cooking and drinking.
  10. Would that be the Model P jr?
  11. Brand at one time had a massive library and was a voracious reader! He had collected over 30,000 books, most of which were destroyed when his house burned!! He was a combatant in the Battle of the Bulge.
  12. Pluto is a planet! It’s about 1,500 miles in diameter and has five moons!! Approximately 1/5 the size of Earth. Those who claim that it isn’t a planet are the same people who espouse man made climate change!!
  13. AFREAKIN’MEN!!
  14. Again!! Take that piece of the cake back and go after some more!! Don’t quit ‘til you get it all back!! Every crumb counts!!
  15. Either way, the target is DEAD! A rose, (or a turd) by any other name…
  16. I’m still not supposed to be spending time sitting up without my foot propped up. I recently acquired a new to me MEC 600jr MkV for 10ga. I had bought a quick change stand so that I could switch between my Load AlI II and the new MEC. I also picked up an adjustable charge bar and, yesterday, I got a new primer feed attachment. My oldest grandson helped me put the stand together and set up both presses on their respective plates. That was a couple weeks ago. He did most of the work. I just supervised. This morning, I woke up around 4:30, thinking about that primer feed attachment and the fifty new 10ga shells I have that needed trimming for use in my old Remington 10. I lounged around and played with the dog until about 9:00 and decided that I could do both jobs without endangering my foot. I unboxed the primer feed and read the instructions, gathered up the few tools, checked to see that everything was there, and set it aside. I took a few minutes and measured out some finished 10ga shells and a couple of empties to get the right length. It took a couple of tries to adjust my shell trimmer to the length I needed and I trimmed those new shells to make 2 7/8” rounds. ONE TASK COMPLETED!! Now with the table cleaned off, I set about installing the primer feed. I had to tinker with it a bit, but after carefully disassembling the old parts that are replaced and trial fitting everything a couple of times, I was able to make it fit, operate, and deliver primers reliably. NOT BAD!! If I had powder and shot in the hoppers, I could run me a batch of shells!! If I had me a sandwich and some more iced tea, I’d be a little less GRUMPY!!
  17. It’d be great if so many other “celebrities” looked at it that way!!
  18. When you say SPAD, I immediately get this picture!!
  19. BAD!! Nobody hurt, I hope. Stormed like the dickens here last night but no damage to any of our vehicles or buildings. Sorry it happened to ya’!!
  20. Manufacturers show responsibility!! They KNOW that they can’t stay in business long if they don’t stand behind their product and preserve the safety of their customers!!
