Not exactly true. I never registered for the draft due to Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. I fell into the time span that it wasn't required. Quoting WIKI 1975 to 1980 On 29 March 1975, President Gerald Ford, whose own son, Steven, had earlier failed to register for the draft as required,[30] signed Proclamation 4360 (Terminating Registration Procedures Under Military Selective Service Act), eliminating the registration requirement for all 18- to 25-year-old male citizens.[31] 1980 to 2026 On 2 July 1980, President Jimmy Carter, signed Proclamation 4771 (Registration Under the Military Selective Service Act) in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the previous year of 1979,[32] retroactively re-establishing the Selective Service registration requirement for all 18- to 26-year-old male citizens born on or after 1 January 1960.[33] As a result, only men born between 29 March 1957, and 31 December 1959, were completely exempt from Selective Service registration.[34]

And headphones....it's amazing what you hear with the headphones on....the background noises are sometimes amazing, frogs, birds, crickets, a vehicle off in the distance...the stuff you really don't hear otherwise.

Had me a little tense watching it fall that fast with no chutes, then 2 small chutes and it's still screaming down, then the main chutes that didn't deploy immediately and finally opened all the way. Little surprised that choppers and boats took as long as they did to reach the capsule. And right on scheduled time also!

Come on boys, we don't want any trouble in here, not in any language.

Naw, I could never fill those shoes. Just happened to see it on Fox News and figured it was pertinent with this thread.

Just saw this. France's last use of the guillotine was the same year as Star Wars came out, 1977.

In Florida, Conch Fritters are becoming rarer and rarer. It's kind of a hush puppy with conch meat. Many places think that a miniscule sliver of conch is good enough, it's not.

Great, another excuse why there's no paper towels in the towel dispenser. I detest electric hand dryers. On the bright side, I prefer Quilted Northern, Sam's brand paper towels and Sam's facial tissue...don't know who makes them though.

Thanks for this thread!!! I just acquired some Dillon powder measures and all of them were hard to see thru. Dillon is going to replace them all at no charge except shipping ($10 total). Made my day!!!

Dadgum it!

I just KNEW those 400,000 Sam's Megapacks that I bought in 2020 were gonna come in useful!

Naw, the Starbucks are on either side the Crater Barrel restaurant.

I have seen a Spencer carbine used once in a SASS match. Don't know if it was SASS legal or not, I do know that it was the middle of summer in Ruskin Florida, the guy that was shooting the Spencer was pretty slow and deliberate with all of the firearms, like 140++ seconds slow per stage. He had to reload the Spencer on every stage...slow and deliberate. He demanded to get every piece of brass back also. By the end of the match, he was definitely NOT everyone's favorite person.

My point is that the SASS Forums are free for anyone to use. Yes I know that actual SASS members consider the Forums part of the membership fee but there are many here that are not members or are no longer members.

Get what you pay for I guess.

I will not carry a firearm in any pants pocket.

I had that happen a few days ago in the Classifieds. Typed all of the stuff in, click the submit reply and exited out to put pics on the post from my cell phone (I type on a PC). Went to the Classifieds, no thread. I thought I'd forgot to click on the submit reply so I typed the whole thing in again, exited out, went back in on my phone and posted pics. Hours later, the original post showed up creating a duplicate thread, annoying at best.

Boy, that trap was set "hard". I usually set them "soft", when it will easily be tripped, sometimes setting it down will even trip it. Another thing I try to do is position the trap in a manmade alley with non-bait end at the alley end and the bait at the open end so that the rodent has little choice for its approach to the trap. I tried a glue type trap once, damn rat got that stuff everywhere around the trap, didn't use them again. Fruit rats weren't uncommon at a house it had 25 years ago as the neighbors all had citrus trees in their yards. It is very rare that I have to set a trap now , but when I do, it's either in the garage or shed. Last one was for a mouse in the garage, got it on the first try with peanut butter bait. The dog we had when I was growing up was a Rat Terrier. She was the second most smartest dog I ever encountered or had...we didn't have rat problems....or cat problems for that matter.

I haven't seen any of it yet but my gal loves it.

I dunno, that strawberry one would go great around here in the thousands of acres of strawberry fields around here. Big business in West Central Florida. Pineapple in South Florida east of the Glades. Race car driver Ross Chastain would love one!!!

Yes...with the provision they must wear the same outfit that they will be wearing to the match for 20 days in a row before the match, arrive at the match riding a horse that carries all match guns, ammo and everything needed at the match and leave the match riding a horse. Most importantly, they must pay match fees in whatever currency was available/worth in the particular year that their character is based on.

New brass?

Mike Tyson in a bunny suit?

You can, just go out into the cow pastures after it rains and pick 'em! Just kidding of course!

Great news to wake up to this morning!
