  1. Action open, muzzles pointing down range. OK. Muzzles don't break the 170 vertically, OK. Holding it by the wrist, unless both hands on the shotgun is required, OK.
  2. If you can get drill bits or brass stock you can cut off piece and epoxy it in. I see that some drill sets have bits as narrow as 1mm.
  3. But yet, the EOT website shows a Hampton Inn in Happy Valley as a "preferred" hotel. It appears to me that there is no corporate policy for or against firearms, but rather each site makes up its own rule. I have stayed in a number of hotels in AZ, NM and other states and there was no problem with bringing cased firearms into the room, whether I asked about it first or not.
  4. Internet search says closed permanently.
  5. Saw the Nick Cage film on MAX. Better than I expected. The young actress who played his daughter was a surprise, she's only 14. She held her own in scenes with Cage.
  6. I visited SARCO a number of times back in the old days. Tons of stuff.
  7. Look up Captain Clark's post of February 8th. Has lots of names dealing with the same problem.
  8. At the time, I lived in Atlantic Highlands, NJ on the south end of NY Bay. A commuter ferry traveled from that town and the one next to it, Highlands, NJ to and from lower and mid town Manhattan. Very shortly after the attack the ferries were used to bring people back to NJ from Manhattan. How that was organized is still a mystery to me. A buddy was a cop in Highlands, NJ and I was with him later in the day as the ferries would arrive and disembark passengers. Interestingly, there were NYPD officers on the ground there at the dock who were interviewing passengers as they came off the ferry. There is an overlook in town, Mount Mitchill, which at 266 ft above sea level is the highest point on the Eastern seaboard south of Maine, where one can see Manhattan across the bay. The smoke rising from the destroyed towers kept rising for days. The coastal area there is one of the glide paths for JFK and on that day and there was no traffic and that continued for at least two days. One of those days that changed the world.
  9. Yul, With reference to your post about all the photos you took that have no names attached, why not post them all, if you have time, and let the Wire fill in the names? It could take some time, but could be fun. Tex
  10. Yul, It's become a tradition to have you, and now Seamus, take the time and make the effort to keep us "stay at home"s in the picture, so to speak. Thanks again for your efforts.
  11. Yep. I also remember the movie "Something of Value" with Rock Hudson and Sidney Poitier.
  12. Those folks aren't doing "cowboy" work. Can't get them very dirty walking around the streets of Aspen.
  13. Soap opera. Looked good as far as photography, costumes. Boring.
  14. I heard one once at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Sounded like tearing a piece of paper.
  15. Many years ago when I was a kid, a neighbor a few doors down had a baby. They used to leave the kid in the carriage at the foot of their front steps to get some air, and lying down next to the carriage was the biggest Great Dane I ever saw. No one went near the carriage.
  16. Yep. Just when you're settling in, it's over. Thanks for all the pics. Safe travels.
  17. A lot of folks on line all at once will slow speeds. Notice how you had no problems during the first few days of the match?
  18. Tim McCoy was cast as a Sky Pilot in one of his films.
  19. How do you get each cart you make to look better than the last one? Wonderful work!
  20. The one at the top. It looks lighter than the others.
  21. I watched some Trackdown episodes recently and noticed that when there was gun play, Culp didn't shoot the Smith. In those instances he shoot a Colt SA.
