A good reputation isn’t that hard to maintain! JUST DO PEOPLE RIGHT!! If you do that, people will find you and your reputation will grow stronger. Obviously, you’re doing it right! Thanks!! -
SO!! After two weeks out of the cast and a little bit of actually walking in short sessions, I had another appointment with the surgeon today. X-rays look good and the bone grafts are doing great. He says to start walking a little more and he’s prescribed some physical therapy to aid my recovery and to alleviate some of the post-operative swelling. They say that the swelling COULD continue for several months. Anyhow, I’m free to start learning to walk again for the seventh or eighth… HELL!! I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve started over!! I have to relearn the motor skills for balance! My equilibrium is pretty good, but I’m not making the muscle adjustments that keep one on their feet smoothly or naturally. Hopefully, the PT will help that too. I don’t have to return to see him for six weeks unless I have something go wrong!! I will be allowed to wear my actual boot for the left foot that matches the one I wear on the right foot in a couple of weeks for a short time each day. There’s still a ways to go, but we’re getting a little more optimistic about it! We tried to stop at a particular restaurant on the way home that Schoolmarm has been hankering to visit, but it was absolutely slammed! Not a parking space anywhere!! That was disappointing, but we’ll have to go to town several more times in the next couple of weeks. We’ll get there! Y’all talk amongst yourselves! I’m sure we’ll find something more to GRUMP ABOUT!! 🙄

Hey!! WOBBLY!! Don’t pay no attention to Widder or Tennessee Williams!! AIN’T NEITHER ONE OF ‘EM GOT WALKIN’ AROUND SENSE!! 🤪 🤣 -
This, sadly, was also to be expected! The Dumbasscrats in the Oregon legislature have been Kalifornicated and have begun taking lessons from Illinois!! I feel SO SORRY for the average citizens in that once proud state!!

Perhaps, but the parliamentarian is a Biden butt kissing Dumbasscrat!! She shows her true colors in the rest of her statement, calling it the “Big Beautiful Betrayal” bill!! It is a totally disingenuous although entirely predictable move by those swamp creatures with a (D) next to their name!! -
Never expected anything else from a Biden boot licking Dumbasscrat!! 😡

I have both. The ones I have are absolutely top of the line! The AK is a Bulgarian Arsenal milled receiver model and, as I mentioned in my previous post, the SKS is a Model D that takes AK magazines. I like the way the SKS shoots as far as recoil and muzzle movement. I love the portability of the AK and how it handles in tight spaces. The SKS is normally slightly more accurate when taking single shots, depending on ammo, but I’m left handed and the charge handle can be distracting when shooting with the gun mounted properly on my shoulder and using the iron sights. With a holographic optic, that’s not a problem. I love the balance of the AK!! It comes to the shoulder more smoothly and it just works better shooting from the “spray and pray” level. With the green dot laser it’s a nasty piece of equipment. Even after reading all the responses here I still feel that the SKS is one of the most severely underrated.

I think that if you pull the grips, you MAY be able to carefully re-arch the mainspring, IF it has a leaf type spring. I did that with my American Derringer and it is a LOT more pleasant to shoot!

I DON’T recommend using sparkler material!! It’s made of magnesium and sometimes phosphorus. It’s bad for your barrel and is extremely hard to extinguish once it gets going!! Colored streamers like those that come in the little hand held poppers will work very well!! Be sure to safely dispose of the rest of the popper! You can tightly roll strips of crepe paper in any color and put it in the shot cup. I have short shot cups that can be used with an over powder card. This will allow you to use the crepe paper AND load shot as well. If you don’t have such a thing, you can use the over powder card and remove the shot cup from your regular wad. With the crepe paper under the shot, it acts as a cushion. I/we have made up shells with the effect portion of regular fireworks in the past and it was really fun until someone wasn’t careful enough and set a range on fire while nobody was there to stomp out the little flames which quickly became big flames!! I don’t recommend that anyone do that anymore. DO NOT USE GLITTER!! You can barely see it, if at all, and it gets into everything, especially peoples’ eyes!! If you MUST use something flashy, use mylar sequins! Make sure to use fairly large ones. They DO get everywhere, but they are large enough that safety glasses will prevent them from getting in your eyes! All of these should be used over smokeless powder. As others have mentioned, most, if not all of your stuff will be consumed in the flame from Black Powder! If you do it right, the effect will be good enough that no one will think less of your effort. If you MUST HAVE Black Powder smoke, fire them out of one barrel of a double and your BP load out of the other! And as the Dawg said, put your stuff in with the shot, not the powder. At one time, several years ago, I was pretty well known for shooting weird stuff out of my guns. I’ve set hay bales and dried grass on fire at several ranges, but I always warned everyone and we prepared for it. HELL! I’ve set the range on fire with just a big Black Powder load on more than a few occasions! Make sure that EVERYONE knows what you’re doing and that it’s approved by the Match Director and the host club!! BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!!

The judge in this case is a total IDIOT and should be removed from the bench and possibly jailed! The same kid asks to test drive a new car and then drives it onto the railroad tracks and hits a train head on. Would mom try to sue the dealership, the car manufacturer, and the railroad?? MOST LIKELY!! Would the court entertain the suit?? NOT FREAKIN’ LIKELY!!!
-
This should take no longer than the reading of the filing! The law is totally unconstitutional and the court can save the citizens much money and itself a lot more time by simply dismissing the legislation as unconstitutional and rapping the gavel on it!! In the meantime, I’d like to have the popcorn concession…
