    If i ever make it to the States one of the first things I'd like to is walk around a Walmart. 

     

    Much cheaper than the carnival freak shows of old and you still get the same cast of characters for free!

    Since We Have One, Why Not The Other? Your Most Underrated Gun

    I think of two, more if I had to but two for now...

     

    Norinco SKS Paratrooper, Uses AK mags, has never jammed, failed to feed or misfired. Even after 1,000's of round fired, it's still pretty accurate and fun to shoot. 

     

    Smith & Wesson 4516-2. Semi-auto, .45 ACP, never jammed, failed to feed or misfired no matter what type ammo I've run thru it. 1,000's of round later, it's still amazingly accurate and fun to shoot.

    Booking a hotel room

    I don't travel to shoots any more but when I did, I did one thing before I ever carried anything in the room. I strip the bed, turn over the mattress, check under the bed and look in the seams of everything with a flashlight if necessary. Why? Bed bugs. Got those once, long ago at an expensive and reputable hotel chain. It's an expensive, lengthy and difficult process to get rid of those b*****ds. 

     

    I am ultra careful (borderline paranoid) now regardless of where I stay, but especially a hotel.

    I had a bad Wally-World experience this morning.   I rarely go in but I wanted some SanDisk cards for my trail cams.  I went to the the furthest back corner to sporting goods.  There they were in locked display case. Nobody around. They did have a button to push to get service.  No button.  I looked 6 aisles this way and 6 aisles the other way and nobody.  I could see a group of "associates" stocking stuff about a 100 yards away.  I tried to get their attention.  After a bit, I was doing jumping jacks waving my arms. A woman noticed me and I hollered HELP! She came but didn't have the keys but would get something.  Seemed longer than it should have been and old guy showed up and I got the SD cards.

     

    Just go behind the counter, someone will show up real quick. Probably wouldn't have the key though.

     

    They watch the cameras and don't like it when people go behind the electronics, sporting goods or (I presume) the jewelry counter.

    Would a jewelry store log serial numbers?

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    My understanding is that all Rolex watches are serialized and registered to the original owner at the dealer/jewelry store. If the original owner of the watch sells it to another buyer, the new buyer can send it back to Rolex (for a fee) and have it registered in their name.

     

     

    I was on a jobsite once that the owner of the building I was wiring took off his Rolex to move some boxes. He set it on our gang box, moved the boxes and left the jobsite...and left the watch sitting on the gang box. I put the watch in my work truck for safe keeping. He returned a couple of hours later and I gave the watch to him. He thanked me and said "Damn, too bad someone didn't steal it, I could use the insurance money". He was kidding but it lead to a long and detailed conversation about Rolex watches. That's how I got my Rolex info....I sure as hell don't own a Rolex.

    Booking a hotel room

    Don't forget that sometimes the match will arrange for a block of rooms at certain "host" hotels for reduced rates. Usually isn't much of a discount, certainly not 16%, but at least it's something.

     

    Maybe I'm living under a rock, but $216/night for a hotel room is ridiculous.

    And the car was:

    However, I have no clue if either is actually correct. 😋

    The way to handle bullies

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted

    I was a year younger than everyone else and smaller than everyone else throughout my school years. I learned pretty quick that bullies don't like people who fight back. Because of my stature (weight and height), I also learned that if you know it's going to be a fight, get the first shot in and make it count...bullies don't like getting hit first either.

    I never got suspended and the bullies left me alone for the most part in junior and senior high school.

    Will Farrell

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    First off, I don't like Taylor Swift. Don't like the hype behind the Swift machine, the fawning publicity, her politics or her music.

     

    That being said....She has become a billionaire of her own making. She also donates large sums of money to (mostly) worthy charities. She gives out large bonuses to the "little" people who do the hard work, the "roadies" if you will. I've never seen her show, but I understand that she provides a lengthy show and puts her heart into every show and puts on the appearance of caring about her audience. She writes her own music, plays multiple instruments and actually sings at her shows, no lip sync or fake stuff. She also protects her image judiciously, no wild rumors of drug abuse or sex tapes floating around.

     

    Hell, I may not like her at all, but I respect her as a musician and, grudgingly, as a seemingly decent person. 

     

    Oh, and she has more talent in her little toe than Will Farrell has in his entire body.

    Online Auctions

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted

    I've bought plenty of items in online auctions.

     

    Here are my suggestions,

     

    - Have good pictures and plenty of them. I'm not going to spend hundreds, or thousands, of dollars based upon four blurry pictures.

    - Have good descriptions of the firearm. Describe what can be seen (inside and out) in detail along with the normal manufacturer, caliber, barrel length, how many magazines, special markings, etc, etc.

    - Be available to answer questions about a particular item. I can't tell you how many times I've seen possible/probable fakes and could not get answers from the auction personnel to confirm, or refute, my observations that I have to base upon pictures.

    - Don't have hidden reserves. If the owner wants a reserve, start the bidding at the owner's required minimum price. I detest reserves and won't bid on them if I see "Reserve not met".

    - Don't try to hide/mask any blemishes, rust or and defects in, or on, the firearm. It will come back to bite you.

     

    I talked extensively with a local guy that runs a local auction. It's a ton of work to run an 500 item auction once a month or so. Sure you'll get 18 - 22% from both the seller and buyer but it is a ton of work. Paperwork for the buyer/seller/ATF, take the pictures/writing up the descriptions/posting the same, the 4473's and call ins, shipping, tons of questions and storage of the items require a lot of manhours. 

     

    Good luck if you decide to become an online auctioneer.
