We have an old one, called a Toast Tite. It is round and seals the bread in a circle. It came to the marriage with hubby. He would slice hot dogs and cheese between the bread. YUMMY!
Allie,
Google:
croque monsieur iron
and about 1/3 down are images of the CM irons. I think I see a picture of yours and mine. Mine has long handles and two spaces with seashells. I see the round one, probably same as yours.
They are yummy! :-)

Disturb's version sounds pretentious or affected and put-on.

Maybe not the best sandwich you ever had, but pretty close, It's an old idea. The Croque Monsieur is a a grilled ham and cheese (sometimes with a tomato slice) assembled in a fold-over "iron" press and cooked over a stove burner. The iron seals the bread on all four edges, sealing the steaming melted cheese and ham inside the bread. The iron often has a seashell design that gets embossed into the both bread slices.
Don't get the electric Croque Monsier iron. Get the "manual" version on eBay or Etsey or Amazon? You can assemble the sandwich any way you want, of course.
Some people butter both sides of the bread, but I use a cooking spray on the iron. Lay a slice of bread on the iron, layer in cheese, ham, tomato, cheese. Then, lay the other slice of bread over the assembly, fold the other side of the iron over the sandwich, while pushing/cramming/stuffing the edge of the bread in. Clip the retainer/lock over the handle. Pop it on the stove burner, let cook for 2-3 minutes until toasted, flip and do the other side. At first you have to check often to be sure it's toasted but not burned.

A cracker with a dollop of spinach dip and a sundried tomato slice (packed in olive oil) pressed into the dip?
Little cube of cheese with the sundried tomato slice speared to the cheese with a toothpick?
Pre-prepared avocado dip (Costco?) and thin tortilla chips? (NO double-dipping, >:-( dammit!)
Stuff like that. :-)

Alton Brown needs a bag of chips, a beer and to sit down and watch the game.

PBT is a good Cowboy...always giving, caring and looking out for others.
Glad you had minimal problems with your .44-40 reloads.

I live in a rural area on a well-traveled farm and ranch road. When that happens here I think an illegal alien or some meth freak stole it from my mailbox. That's why I get out there early to pick up the mail. Just think, Forty Rod, you might not get your Blair catalog this time. 80% of my mail is stuff like that.

Send'em sans primers, Rye!

Yeah, those flat "Model 12" forends are too darn big. Try Macon Gunstocks.

I'm not a new member or a Guest; I'm just horning in, I reckon. I joined SASS because I was invited out to CVR's annual John Wayne Shootout by my neighbor, who heard me out shooting squirrels one day with my pair of '51 Navy clones. (This was sometime prior to the Wayne organization reneging on Michael Wayne's permission to use the name.) While walking around, looking around the shooting festivities the one day I was at the annual as a visitor, I was hailed over by this old sob in black, with a beard and a top hat and smoking a cigar. We sat and visited for a while without introducing ourselves, just discussing CAS and shooting, but he signed me up as a SASS member, reached in a dirty old bag and fished out badge No. 14086. I swapped him $40 for that badge. Never saw him out there again...wonder what happened to him? I keep re-upping for some durn reason.
That's enough for now.

Keep an eye on him!! Don't let the Kiowa or the Pawnee get him!
:-)
Congratulations!

Certainly not building them like they used to!
Might think about replacing the ball joint(s) in pairs....iow, do both sides.

The Difference Between Officers and NCO's
A young Naval officer was severely wounded in the head by a flight deck accident,
but the only visible, permanent injury was that both of his ears were amputated.
Since his remaining hearing was sufficient, he remained in the Navy
Many years later he eventually rose to the rank of Rear Admiral.
He was, however, very sensitive about his appearance.
One day the Admiral was interviewing three servicemen who were
candidates for his headquarters staff.
The first was a Marine Major, a helicopter pilot, and it was a great interview.
At the end of the interview the Admiral asked him,
'Do you notice anything different about me?' The young officer answered, 'Why, yes. I couldn't help but notice that you have no ears, Sir.
The Admiral was displeased with his lack of tact and threw him out.
The second was with a Navy Lieutenant, and he was even better. The Admiral then asked him the same question, 'Do you notice anything different about me?"
He replied sheepishly, 'Well, yes Sir. You have no ears.' The Admiral also threw him out.
The third interview was with an old Master Chief, an Airdale and staff-trained NCO.
He was smart, articulate, fit, looked sharp, and seemed to know more than the two officers combined.
The Admiral liked this guy, and went ahead with the same question, 'Do you notice anything different about me?'
To his surprise the Master Chief said, 'Yes, sir, you wear contact lenses.'
The Admiral was very impressed and thought, 'What an incredibly observant NCO, and he didn't mention my ears.' He asked, Master Chief, how do you know I wear contacts?' "
"Well, sir,' the old Master Chief replied, "It's pretty hard to wear glasses with no frik'n ears!"

NOW the dead can't even park on the street, DESPITE their obvious handicap! Outrageous!!

I think it's a shame that Chicago's dead are now being discriminated against after all this time enjoying equal rights with the living.

When I got home from school back in the late 50'S the local TV station had a kid's program that included cartoon and a Little Rascals or Our Gang short. Every now and then I have to watch a few. The old film versions have have been cleaned up and restored.
I always get a kick out of Spanky in his early years. I'd like to know how they could get the kids to perform - especially the toddlers.
Cattle prod....
They would use a cattle prod to get'em to perform! It's true...really.

Virginia Madsen is one good looking woman!
She was also Tom Selleck's love interest in "Crossfire Trail."

I've had two bad experiences. One was a purchase and the other a sale. It was a circus dealing with those two.
Aside from that, I've bought and sold firearms and other gear painlessly here on the Wire.

I only use prehistoric ice in my Jack Daniels. 'Course I have'ta scrape off the dinosaur poop. Otherwise, I drink it neat. Maybe I can chip off a couple tons of that chunk that's gonna fall off? :-)

False economics to reload aluminum or other non-brass cases. My advice is, just don't do it.
Watch out if you by used cases. I've bought them in the past with good results, but anymore, they have a lot of culls mixed in. They often consist of a lot of mediocre quality brass (watch the headstamps). Brazillian, Philippines, Korean and some others, generally is scrap metal,
You can ID the manufacturer by referring to this website to check the headstamp code:
http://www.cartridgecollectors.org/headstampcodes
Do yourself a favor and buy 500 new Starline cases. You will likely be able to reload them 30 to 40 times, given the low-power Cowboy loads that we shoot. You won't look back. Just recycle or toss ALL your aluminum cartridge cases.

At 500 yards, I would invest in a GOOD scope AND tripod. Otherwise, I'd find myself ultimately buying the scope and tripod I should have purchased to start with. And, I wouldn't loan it to the club, either.

CAS clothing & leather in WA-area?

This is just my opinion, so do what you want to....
Think twice about the leather cuffs. They are difficult and uncomfortable. Especially, if you try to handle your firearms while wearing them. They were originally worn to protect against rope burns, burns from branding irons, cuts and scratches from brush and wire, etc., and you'll probably not use them while you are shooting your weapons.
