That's Easy!

I liked the movie, albeit slow in parts. Blackwater said everything I would have said except...I never liked the harmonica theme. Jack Elam's short-lived part made the movie for me when I first saw it as a kid. That scene is a masterpiece in my book. A side note - as a kid, I hated intermissions. As an adult, I wish they had intermissions now for just a two hour movie!

The nearest gun show that is worth going to is at Lakeland airport which is about an hour away. $10 to get in and free parking. The last time I went, the vendors seemed to think that the guns were made of 24K gold and were selling them by weight. It was also way to crowded for me, almost impossible to move around or look at anything without being jostled. They did have plenty of older guns, which were good to look at...if you could get near them. The gun show closest to me is about 10 minutes away, free parking and $10 to get in. If I don't have anything to do, I'll go but it's always the same old guys with the same old overpriced guns for 50% of the vendors. The rest of the vendors are selling plastic guns, way overpriced ammo, beef jerky, coins, knives, scopes, gun cases and bumper stickers.

She looks suspicious to me, I would have to hold her for interrogation.

Would have been funnier if they didn't put the annoying music in there.

Contact Yul Lose. From seeing the beautiful items and gun carts he has produced, he will know the way to go.

A popular place in Pinellas County, Florida for tourists and locals alike is Fort Desoto and Fort Desoto beach. During WWII they used a couple of the islands there for aerial bomb practice. After almost every major tropical storm type event, they find 250 lb and 500 lb bombs that have been uncovered by the storm. Most are usually dead or inert. One time they found a 500 lb bomb and decided to see if they could detonate it in place. Bad idea, it blew out windows all over Fort Desoto and nearby Tierra Verde. I'm about 20 miles from there, it was loud and somewhat concussive here.

El Chapo had said that half of the population lived within 50 miles of the coast. I assumed that he was referring to the US as the Country was unspecified. As far as I know, modern US battleships have never shelled the US coast...yet.

Yer right, ever since fuses panels were replaced with breaker type panels. The zinc alloy pennies wouldn't be able to take the amps anyway. When I was a kid, I always liked looking thru the change for Indian head pennies. As a teen, looked for wheats and steels. As an adult, still looked for all three but after a while, they were all gone. Me, I'll miss the penny. I always, clandestine like, counted my change when the cashier gave it to me. Showed me how smart the employee was and kept cashiers honest.

Way less than half of the population of the US lives within 50 miles of any coast that any battleship (past or present) and supporting vessels could sail with reasonable security.

But WAIT....Buy in the next 10 minutes and get one FREE roll of pennies for the same price! Shipping and handling extra.

When you live 50 miles from the coast and can't see the ocean, Battleships don't scare you too much.

A friend of mine's family has been giving the same un-opened fruitcake to each other for at least 15 years, maybe more. They just never know who is going to be the lucky recipient.

That's the real reason that many people still mask up. Doesn't have anything to do with covid.

After today, 11,12,2025, the US Mint will no longer be minting the penny with has been minted since 1792. Many stores around here have been rounding up or down for the last month or so. It really is past time but I'll miss them for nostalgia reasons I guess. Story below. America's penny production ends after more than 230 years due to costs | Fox Business

I always try to take them while they're taking a dump. Gotta be in the woods for that though.

Three free SASS round decals. The ones they send with your membership renewal. PM your address and I'll get them on their way.

That's because they take zero responsibility for any of their actions. Hey It's not their fault...it's their parents fault, societies fault, anybody's fault but theirs. Work for it? Not bloody likely.

Natchez had Bullseye, Red Dot and Unique in 1 LB containers as late as last week. Now they just have Bulleye. They were all priced at $52 - $62 per pound + HazMat + shipping but had some deals on HazMat and/or shipping. Very pricey IMO...but they were available for a few weeks. Maybe Alliant products will become more available soon.

Ironic that the story above has a warning about using cookies and the actual Deflock site wants to know your location, all of which can decline....but it is ironic. Truth is that anytime you venture outside of your abode, and sometimes inside your abode (various devices), you are under surveillance and probably being recorded on video.

I remember when our school took us on a "field trip" in 1971 to a collage football game in Tampa Stadium. It was Villanova vs ?. Anyway, the game was boring to me so I used my binoculars to watch Tora, Tora, Tora at a drive-in screen I could plainly see without even having binoculars. That drive-inn is long gone now, so is Tampa Stadium. Thanks for the flashback!

What do you say to a Marine war dog? Semper Fido Happy belated birthday Marines.

Each to their own, I guess. IMO, they're nasty, destructive animals that I have waged war with for a long time. Good luck with them, especially after they start increasing in numbers.

Just tell 'em that you were in the movie The Postman Rings Twice.
