Yes.

Same here. 
 

My first one however was “The Ventures On Stage Around the World”. Still have that too. 
 

A bit of trivia: the original drummer for the Ventures went on to become a 4-star general in the AF.  Fun video below:

 

 

[Rotator cuff surgery]

When I had my rotator cuff repaired in ‘97, the doc told me I would reach 80% recovery in six months, and reach 100% six months after that. He was spot on.
 

I wasn’t shooting then, and I’ve no idea what surgery techniques are available now. I do know from personal experience from many orthopedic procedures, that if you try too much too soon, you risk delaying recovery and possibly mucking up the repair. 
 

Shoulders are a complex joint with corresponding repairs. At my 72 years of age, 10-12 weeks to return to shooting long guns - especially a shotgun - seems overly ambitious to me. However, your doctor and a good PT can answer your question better than any of us. 
 

Good luck!

Unfortunately that's no longer the case for many series. The major networks, (ABC, NBC, CBS, and sometimes CW) still do that for their more popular shows, but one that's not so popular, or is a newer show, might only get 12 episodes. Maybe stretched to 18 IF they think it might be going somewhere. But smaller networks seem to usually only have 10 episodes a season. Sometimes they might do 2 "seasons" a year, but that's rarer. 

Back in the '60s, most series had first run episodes in the mid 30s. 

Adding on, today’s shows are significantly shorter due to all the commercial interruptions. Actual show length is 15-16 minutes with at least 4 interruptions in a 30-minute slot.

I always find it interesting that when I am running late or otherwise in a hurry, not one other person on the road is! They are ALL going 10 under or stopping early for the lights or something! Conversely if I am just cruising (lollygagging) along enjoying the drive whilst watching the sights every last person on the road is hell bent on driving near the speed of light! Anyone else notice this phenomenon?

Also I wonder what the outcome would be if the BP was contaminated with something like a bit of silica sand.

That would make a great addition to those click-bait ads like,  “Put salt in Vaseline and see what happens.”

Urine is better than alcohol, but it changes the green powder to black powder that won't separate back into the three ingredients. In a pinch you can even use water.

Interesting, but I'm skeptical given the original article is from E&E and Politico. It's just too good to be true.

[Have you ever bought a firearm, "just because"? No practical value?]

I have a couple of nice S&W revolvers because J-Bar said I “needed” them. He was right. He’s a good friend!

I also have an AR-15 because Kamala said I shouldn’t have one.

Even as a kid, I didn’t care for the “family” shows back then - Beaver, Father Knows Best, et al. Mostly because nothing in my life or my friends’ lives looked anything like that. Might as well have been sci-fi from my POV.
