How do you mark your empty chamber for reload
Blackwater 53393 replied to R. R. Ranger's topic in SASS Wire
If it’s a stock Blackhawk, you just open the loading gate and turn the cylinder to the empty chamber, load your cartridge, close the gate and fire six rounds! Same with a stock vaquero. With a modified Ruger, open the gate, go to half cock turn the cylinder to the open chamber, load your cartridge, close the gate, go to full cock, and fire six. If you fire your first shot and then open the loading gate, the empty chamber is right there, if the gun is modified, you’ll still need to go to half cock. Then complete the sequence as described, firing five shots. -
I’m on top of a large hill/ridge, but there a low places and large streams nearby. Most of the folks I know are in the dry. A general prayer for all those who are not so fortunate IS in order!

“ They won’t bury him when he dies!! He’s so crooked, they’ll just screw him into the ground!!” Better to wreck than rust. ”Don’t ask me! I’m only the piano player!” So ugly, if she stood on a railroad track, she’d make a freight train take a dirt road!” Queer as a football bat!! -

I’ve got a busy schedule of stuff to get done today, so I had the home health nurse do the standard wrap bandage for me for the next couple of days. I’ll be on my feet a good bit today, repairing a stool, putting toe straps on the pedals of my stationary bike, and doing some stuff in the kitchen. I figure I’ll protect my progress ‘til I see the doc on Wednesday!! The bandages were perfectly clean this morning!! It’s going to turn cold this week! I had a dusting of snow yesterday morning when the grandson and I went out to the shop. I got some stuff done and pulled up the materials to fix the stool and bike. Ain’t gonna get much above freezing today and tomorrow and then we’re s’posed to have snow on Wednesday. After that the temperature is going to drop to single digits for a couple of days and the next warm day will be next Monday!! I like it, but it’s making Schoolmarm a real GRUMP!!

Well, That Was An Interesting Finish

The GTP cars at the 24 were turning 200+mph and holding the track with ease. On the Molson Strait at Le Mans, they approach 300 mph. The idea that tires should limit performance is almost laughable. Making tires that wear out if the speeds are higher is counterintuitive and counterproductive. They spent years working to make them safer and more durable and now they’re doing the polar opposite!! They’re already restricting engine size and gear ratios. Selecting a production body style and making the builders use factory body panels or EXACT duplicates and allowing sensible aero modifications that make the cars safer, as opposed to controlling speed and drafting capabilities, would make for better competition. (It would also encourage the manufacturers to build better cars!!) Outside of that? Run what you brung and hope you brung enough!! -

I’d like to see three changes made to the NASCAR Cup racing!! 1: Make them use the actual body panels from the manufacturer of the car represented. 2: Give ‘em all the tire, aero, and horsepower the team can assemble. 3: Go back to the scoring and racing format that they used before all this playoff and stage points crap was initiated!! Put whatever suspension, engine/transmission combination, tire/wheel combination, and all the latest safety features and equipment inside the manufacturer’s envelope! Give ‘em a minimum weight, a minimum ride height, and a common fuel and fuel capacity and let ‘em race!! A car model would have to be submitted to the sanctioning body for approval according to size and specific minimum frontal area agreed to by the participating manufacturers. Then you’d have some real racing! Other sanctioning bodies do it successfully! Why not!! -
