  1. Happy Hannukah! A celebration of rebel success! (with a little divine intervention!) if you don't know the story.... https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/hanukkah
  2. For burgers and steaks, I use a cheap folding walk about grill. for 40 bucks it will give a few years of service and is easy to clean and put away for the winter, and can pull out from storage in a moment with no effort. I use a vertical smoker from Brinkman for brisket or ribs, it takes some getting used to as temperature control is more difficult, but if I do my part it works wonderfully. One of my friends has had a Green Egg for many years and it is very economical to operate and the heavy insulation really does make for stable temperatures and low fuel usage. I use lump charcoal and split hickory for most of my outdoor cooking. Gas is fast, but the flavor is never quite as good in my opinion
  3. As I arrived at Doc's place it was eerily quiet. Doc must still be in town with his wife. I circled the home at a distance, with an uneasy feeling. Perhaps I should just ride on, but instead I headed to the house and finding it empty I went to the barn. There were horses in the stalls and I turned them out into the corral and began cleaning the stalls. Some people eschew manual labor, but I never felt better than working with and caring for horses. When I finished the barn was spic and span. I noticed the firewood was low and picked up an axe and began splitting wood. a few hours passed quickly and a neat large pile of wood was stacked for the Wards. the sun was getting low and I set my bedroll up in the barn and had a dinner of jerky and whisky before I fell asleep.
  4. If it is 7.62x39 i'd be interested, if you can ship it. Message me if you want to discuss further
  5. I predict Joe Biden will be the best gun salesman since Obama. As to prices, they will go up and down, don't panic sell, but if you have something you want to get rid of either watch the market trends or gift it to me.
  6. Pinko? Who are you Archie Bunker?
  7. You remove the recoil spring and replace it with a pencil eraser for loads of that power level

  9. Acupuncture is a jab well done Dijon vu - the same mustard as before Practice safe eating - always use condiments Shotgun wedding - a case of wife or death A man needs a mistress just to break the monogamy A hangover is the wrath of grapes Dancing cheek-to-cheek is really a form of floor play Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? Condoms should be used on every conceivable occasion Reading while sunbathing makes you well red When two egotists meet, it's an i for an i A bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two tired What's the definition of a will? It's a dead give away Time flies like an arrow. fruit flies like a banana In democracy your vote counts. In feudalism your count votes She was engaged to a boyfriend with a wooden leg but broke it off A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion If you don't pay your exorcist, you get repossessed With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress The man who fell into an upholstery machine is fully recovered You feel stuck with your debt if you can't budge it Local area network in Australia - the LAN down under Every calendar's days are numbered A lot of money is tainted - taint yours and taint mine A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat He had a photographic memory that was never developed A midget fortune-teller who escapes from prison is a small medium at large Once you've seen one shopping center, you've seen a mall Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead-to-know basis Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses Those who jump off a bridge in Paris are in Seine A man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking
  10. Aqua Net
  11. I had a 1875 Remington that I bought 35 years ago that had a Uberti Cylinder fitted to it along with the Uberti ejector rod housing. I had to have the barrel set back and the bore looked like a sewage pipe, but with factory loads it seemed to shoot fine the handful of times I shot the gun. As I got older, I got more aware of mortality and more importantly pain. Not wanting to shorten the first or experience the second. the gun was retired and sold to someone that wanted it more than I. Before about 1892 guns were made of steel that was closer in composition to iron. No way I would fire a gun like that today. You just need to spend more money to get a better gun, if you can't do that . . .wait.
  12. Do not do this as it can lead to a hangfire
  13. I brushed out the lathered black mustang in the livery stable. It was late and I was the only one there. The hostler was at the saloon drinking still. My horses were saddled to leave town, but I couldn't leave this stalwart ally without seeing to him first. "Borrowing" a horse is a bad idea, so I left a few dollars on the hostlers desk. I thought to myself, "That'll teach you to try and dynamite me." smiling at the fact that dynamite had been provided to me by my targets. I tossed the borrowed hat on top of the money I had left and draped the overcoat over his chair. I was used to killing men in a stand up fight, this was something else, but then again I had known death most of my life, my conscious would never be clean. This town was worth a little more weight on my conscious. I swung up on to Lightning's back and headed out at a gentle trot, and as always Thunder followed Lightning. We headed to the Ward place to say my goodbyes before I headed off on my next adventure.
  14. The big problem as I see it is that congress has abdicated their duty to make laws and has regulatory agencies "making" law. Not at all how the Constitution defined their duties.
  15. I saw UB walk into the restaurant and thought I'd buy him a meal, but as I entered I saw him with a beautiful young lady. I tipped my hat and went to an empty table. In a moment a plate with a rare steak and a mess of greens was sitting on the table in front of me along with an empty glass. I pulled a flask from my pocket and filled the glass to the top with a bit of Tennessee Sipping Whisky. Slowly I ate everything but the T bone. As I placed a generous tip on the table and began to rise UB walked over with the young lady. I stood and straightened my coat and gave a slight nod. "Colonel Flint, I'd like to introduce my Niece, Lizzy." he started off "Pleased to meet you Ma'am. Your Uncle is quite a character. Towns lucky to have him, and if I may say so, your presence could replace the beautification committee and their work." She blushed "You're a flatterer Colonel Flint." UB chimed in grumbling "And a lot of other things that aren't fit for polite company." I laughed out loud "Well, that's all true I suppose. It was a pleasure meeting you Lizzy . . . you remind me of my daughter, though in truth you are much prettier than she was." UB gave me a look "Didn't know you had a daughter Mark. You've never mentioned her." I shrugged "I was raised to believe that is considered rude to speak of the dead. Still sometimes I feel the need." Our conversation was interrupted by the sound of an explosion. I spun, my gun coming to my hand instictivly as I placed myself between Lizzy and the door. Quickly UB crossed the street and I followed as the rest of the men in town came towards the wreckage of the Sherrif's Office and jail. Thankfully the explosion had not lead to much of a fire, though a bucket brigade quickly extinguished the few flames. Austin Harris/ Murphy lay face down, shattered and bloodied. He wouldn't be testifying.
  16. How do I attach one of those to my personality?
  17. Lock it open, drop a pencil down the barrel eraser first and tap the end of the pencil against a wall or table lightly. It sounds like a bad round that has stuck in the chamber short of battery. You are going to be doing this with a loaded gun, so keep it pointed in a safe direction at all times and use as little force as possible to dislodge the cartridge. While you could tear the gun down and remove it from the bare barrel, I do not like to take down a loaded gun-its bad ju ju
  18. I am using Kobalt brand (from Lowe's) 24 Volt tools. I am very pleased with their battery life and strength.
  19. "On the plus side, I do have a nice supply of dynamite-odd brand on it, might make tracking it's source down possible." I tossed a stick clearly labeled "Judson Explosives and Powder Company" over to Linn Keller "You ever seen that brand?" He looked it over, and twisted his mouth about as if he was chewing on the thought. "No, but the construction and wrapping looks just like some made by a company called 'Giant' out in California." I caught the stick as he threw it back and returned it to my saddle bags. I eased back next to Doc. "Well I see you didn't kill him. Hope you made the right choice." Doc looked at me "He gave up Cushman, and I'll see both of them hang, that'll have to do." "Understand that. Mind if I speak with your prisoner?" Doc looked at me "Speak all you want, but leave him intact for the hanging." Doc said I tipped my hat, "Not a problem." I eased over within conversational range of the prisoner. "Hear you been going by Murphy these days, Austin. You got a preference as to what I call you?" I said casually. He looked like he was going to try and spit at me, then swallowed, thinking better of it, I suppose." Glumly he replied "Don't matter much, I'll hang and they'll put a name on my grave. One is as good as another." I took my time in responding. "We've been in opposition to one another as long as I can remember. Never expected you to farm out my killing." He looked at the body trailing behind me "Doesn't look familiar to me. What makes you think I sent him?" I shrugged "Timing mostly, and so far you haven't denied it." "Go straight to hell Flint, I had nothing to do with it." he responded in a most convincing manner. "Well, I imagine I'll end up there eventually, keep a seat warm for me." I grinned as I clicked my tongue twice and moved forward.
  20. Don't ID the snake until it commits to voting against gun control
  21. I wasn't long before the dust cloud became a silhouette of a man. At the pace I was holding I'd be in range with the sharps in a moment. I reached for the gun only to remember I didn't have it. I put the spurs to Lightning and he went into a full gallop as I pulled my 92 from the scabbard and cycled the action. I was out of range, but I pulled up on the reins and dropped to the ground and ripped off three shots watching the man tumble from the saddle. Back in the saddle I raced to the fallen man and rolled him over to get answers. A gaping hole where his face used to be told me I'd get none.
  22. Having been an attorney for nearly 30 years now, emptying cans of poop doesn't sound that bad anymore
