Cypress Sun

A few years ago, a regular SASS member offered a 'mystery' gun in the Classifieds. No one took it right off the bat but someone did buy it. Ended up being a damn nice gun and an outstanding value. Pretty sure that I remember who sold it and who bought it but I'll let them post...

And how!

This reminded me of an incident. We had to run electric to a new sign at a daycare at a location that was previously a residence that had a large yard. We called the utility locating service and they marked all of the underground utilities...or so we thought. On the day of the dig, I rented a ride on Ditch Witch digger. When I went to haul it to the jobsite, they started it up to make sure it ran. When they turned it off, it backfired loudly and did this every time it was turned off. I took it to the jobsite and my guys started digging the ditch and I left to go back to the office. I hadn't even got back to the office when I got a call on the radio (pre-cell phone days) that they had struck a utility gas pipe that hadn't been marked and were afraid to shut off the machine due to the backfire but had stopped the blades and raised the boom to get it out of the ditch. I relayed this to the office, although they could plainly hear it on the base radio and told them to call the City of Clearwater gas department. I then turned around and returned to the jobsite. By now, the entire area around the jobsite smells like gas and the fire department is on scene. I had just gotten back to the jobsite when a City of Clearwater Utilities truck pulled up with two guys in it and parks near the ditch. The driver gets out with a lit cigarette, proceeds to walk over to the ditch, turns off the Ditch Witch (BANG goes the backfire) and then throws his still lit cigarette into the ditch. None of us had the time to react to this idiot's actions although I wanted to punch him in the face. Moron City of Clearwater boy told us that the gas had nowhere to build up and was therefore dissipated by the air and we were in no danger. I told him that he was a ****ing idiot and pulled our crew out to get an early long lunch. When they returned, the pipe had been repaired, the rest of the line marked and the City of Clearwater guys were gone. We had no further problems.

Have to know these things when you're king, you know.

Why does that look like Wiliam Dafoe in drag?

WHO'S A GOOD BOY! Wag, wag, wag, wag...

Yeah, I've heard their "logic". May make sense to them...not me.

If a box of 50 - .45 ACP only has 7.0 grains of powder in it...they are all going to be squibs. 250 grains per box of 50 would be more like it. At the 250gr. per box, they'd still get 28 boxes per pound of powder which would still result in more profit than just selling the powder alone as you mentioned.

Alliant issued a statement that they were indefinitely suspending distribution of canister powder to any and all distributors due to the (supposed) shortage of nitrocellulose. Just so you know, China, Russia and India are the main manufactures of nitrocellulose.

I know several people who are registered as a Democrat even though they are staunch Republicans. They register Democrat so they can vote in the Democratic Primary. I don't get the logic but it's their vote. They hold closed primaries in Florida so that only registered Democrats can vote in the Dem primary and Republicans can only vote in the Rep primary. Independents are SOL and can't vote in the primaries.

Midway also has quite a few Alliant powders in stock, including Extra Lite in 1 and 8 lb containers. They have Red Dot also but it's cheaper at Mid South.

It happens a couple of times a year in Florida. I just don't understand how you can forget your kid and leave them in a car...in any temperature. It happens with dogs here also. About every two weeks, you see that cops had to break a vehicle window to save the dog. Some live, some don't. Idiots.

Sounds like a great place to build new homes for all of the liberals leaving the country on November 6. I hope they need another iceberg or twenty.

They work nicely on other electronic items also.

If I'm leaving a message with family or friends, I identify myself with my first name. If I'm leaving a message with a cowboy shooter, I identify myself with my last name - Sun. If I'm leaving a message with someone I don't know (business related), I identify myself with my first and last name. If I'm calling family or friends and they answer, I don't identify myself at all, I just start talking.

They could have rammed the car thru the weakest part of the fence that was 10' away....no, instead they try the strongest part. A pair of dikes (electrical tool) would have easily cut thru the chain link or just cut the tie wire holding the fence onto the posts also.

There's nothing on my phone that requires me using the locking feature, so I've never used it and don't plan on using it.

The Price is Right contestants really get screwed. They don't win any money (for the most part) and have to pay California taxes on all of those 'fabulous' prizes that are 'valued' at way above what anyone, in their right mind, would normally pay.

Plus you pay tax on that...California tax.

Depends on the category, probably all in though.

Damn, always liked Mr. Newhart and his style of comedy. RIP Mr. Newhart.

Probably a revolver.

Wait, according to the Saloon lately....checks aren't used any more. Now they, I guess they say "Get your Zelle out". If someone said "Get your Zelle out" to me...they might be offended by the response.

Another reason dogs hate vacuum cleaners.
