Yul Lose

I’m thinking TW might chime in about you liking to watch snakes doin it.

Had lunch with a good pard today and he’s having his upper 4 front teeth removed next week. Severe bone loss and after the grafting is done it will be 3months minimum before they can do anything further, even then it could be longer depending on the bone growth and fill in. Not fun.

Thank you.

Title pretty much says it all. Someone told me this morning that the current SASS match RO training is being replaced. Has anyone heard about the new training program or if there is going to be a revamping of the current RO training?

I had to wait 6 months on my last one.

The next match that you’re at observe the brass pickers picking brass while a stage is being shot. Observe how many times the shooter with long guns in hands heading to the unload table are hindered by a picker picking brass or their picker being close to the feet and legs. IMNSHO, the only people that should be on the line while a stage is being shot is the shooter and T.O. any others are a potential safety hazard. The pickers should allow the shooter to get to the unload table without obstructing them by picking brass. Not so long ago I ran into the same brass picker twice on a 6 stage match that started picking up my rifle brass before I even finished shooting my rifle. A warning was issued after the first but the brass picker obviously didn’t pay attention. You shouldn’t have to ask to shoot a stage safely.

My experience with brass pickers picking brass while someone’s on the line shooting tells me it’s not a good idea, reason being is that brass pickers are concentrating on finding every hull or piece of brass and are oblivious to what’s going on on the line, I’ve had and seen too many close calls.

Having a picker pick brass while you’re still on the line shooting is not a good idea. On more than one occasion I’ve run into a brass picker while moving from one part of the stage to the next. Not long ago my feet got tangled up with the brass pickers picker while I was moving from one side of the stage to the other. Fortunately I’m slow and nothing happened but had it happen to a faster shooter it could have been catastrophic. Imagine someone picking brass at EOT while a Matt Black, Whispering Will or other fast shooter is moving along the line and they collide with the shooter or his picker or holder.

I use wadded up aluminum foil to scrape the grill with. Used to use the wire one until a piece of wire showed up in someone’s fajitas one evening.

Like Rye says get the implant and new tooth, you’ll be glad you did. I have a couple of them, I don’t chew ice or eat pop corn anymore.

I like having something to say before the beep, many clubs don’t have a line to say out here so I make up my own. Of course I make up my own line when they do have a line to say and it’s usually directed to the T.O.

Who says it’s SI FI?

There’s a bit of departure from the novel. I guess I’d call the novel a type of old west Pulp Fiction.

I’m not even sure how to describe it. Sometimes I can’t stop reading it and other times I wish I’d never started. See for yourself.

I’m envious. We had 2 miniature schnauzers, Smokey and Charlie and they were a huge part of our lives. Smokey got out of a too slow to close patio door one afternoon and ran up the hill into the brush and we listened to her cry as she was torn apart by coyotes. About a year later I was bringing Charlie in from his afternoon walk and he fell over, yelped and quivered and died in my arms. I’d like to get another dog but Mrs. Lose not so much.

This just came across. Supreme Court rules Mexico can't sue US gunmakers over cartel violence.

I met them at EOT where they rented a couple of gun carts. Great family.

I tried that already and mom wasn’t very receptive to it. I’m going to invite them and their folks to our match on Saturday, but I’ve done that in the past and they did not show up.

I know where their mother works so I’m going to go over and talk to her and see if she has an idea of what we can do for them. When we’ve done things for them in the past they had kind of a weird reaction so we’re not sure if they’re allowed gifts or what. I’ve quizzed the father and haven’t gotten a lot of ideas.

Some of you may remember my tales about my neighbor kids taking up the job of bringing my trash cans down to the street for pick up and then back up to the house the next day when they were emptied. I know school will be out tomorrow so when the boys brought the cans up today I told the oldest boy that they could take the summer off from taking care of the trash cans, he said okay and asked me if I was sure about it. I told him that we really appreciated them doing what they do for us and they deserved a break. Well the younger one came up the driveway with the last can and when I told him that they didn’t need to take care of the cans during the summer he refused to not do it. He said that they enjoy helping us out and they’d continue to do what they’ve been doing. It’s been about 7 months now and they’ve been here every week. My wife and I are trying to decide what we can do for them because they won’t accept any payment from us. Any ideas?

Hot Lips?

I like this one, just right for one person. My wife doesn’t like to camp so we sold our big diesel pusher RV and bought this Casita and she found out in one night that she really doesn’t like to camp in it.

I’ve got a liking for Benchmade knives ever since I broke the blade on one and they replaced the entire knife at no charge. I’ve got 10 or so different Benchmade knives but this is the one that I carry the most. Benchmade Redoubt.

Same here.

You might PM Creeker, he’s pretty knowledgeable on stage layout and computer technology. He helped me write some stages a couple of years ago and the MD down here liked his layout and template so much that he now uses it for the Bandidos matches.
