B-25J Mitchell "Devil Dog" taken a couple of years back at Grimes Field in Urbana, Ohio. I changed the photo to black and white for a Facebook thing, and really like the result.
What was the original color, night fighter black or navy blue?

I like my bacon cooked about the consistency of good moist beef jerky where it’ll break if you fold it but it still has a nice chew to it.
Yes indeedy!

Hey Rye
I use a flat Cookie Sheet (with raised edges) lined with Aluminum Foil. Single layer of Bacon. Preheat the oven to 400 the shove in the bacon. Usually 20 - 25 Minutes and it's done. After the pan/aluminum cools, just roll up the foil and toss. Enjoy. Everything goes Better with Bacon (Ecco ecco)
We’ve been doing that for years. Learned from son. Bacon seems to shrink less and stays thicker too.

He’s been to a number of specialists and they’ve been unable to fix it and without that part of his foot working he can’t pass the FAA physical.
Has he applied for a waiver to demonstrate he can fly with the disability? That can be accomplished, but I’ve no idea of your son’s particular situation.

In a Chiefs game last weekend, after Mahomes was fined, an opposing player did the gunfighter gesture, but nothing was said about it. I mentioned that to a friend who is a rabid Chiefs and NFL fan. He explained that the player’s thumbs were down as opposed to up like Mahomes, and hence not a foul according to the NFL.
I guess hammer down on an empty chamber is considered safe in the NFL too…

Airplane! (1980) is pretty much a frame-by-frame remake of Zero Hour (1957). Same dialogue but with a punchline.

The fact that there was no swift and stern response to that stunt was enough for me.
What does this have to do with Rye’s post about today’s game? What stunt?

I left the sign in the photo for a reference. That sign is bigger than a 4’X8’ sheet of plywood and Mr. Elk was about twenty feet closer to me than the sign!There was an idiot, just out of the camera shot, that was attempting to hand feed him. I yelled at the fool and got him to back away! That critter was bigger than the idiot’s mini SUV!!
Some of them tourists at the GC is really stoopid. Seen a number of them flagrantly violating posted warnings. Too bad they didn’t suffer the consequences, thus reducing the gene pool.

Hey Rooster:
From Adirondack Jack -- The designer of this cartridge:
The very best results to date have been achieved using Hornady New Dimension .45 caliber dies no. 546554. Note Hornady uses the same dies for .45 Colt, ACP, Autorim, and win mag. They produce a proper roll crimp, and use a sliding bullet guide that aids in seating even very short bullets straight. The sizing die is also a bit larger than typical ACP dies, which provides proper bullet tension for .452-4 cast bullets, and requires less effort to size and expand. This makes the press run smoother, and works brass less as well.
Yup, that’s what I’ve been using since 2010.

I had a factory new red AA where the brass was fractured and split like that. However, it was unfired and didn’t blow out. It had a vertical split, and a horizontal split where the brass rolls to the rim. It was just sort of peeling away from hull like a broken fingernail. I think it may have happened when the shell was dropped.

Fisherman's Monument, Peggy's Cove. Nova Scotia, Canada.
A monument to the Oklahoma land rush in Oklahoma City. It’s difficult to capture the breadth of this display as it stretches about the length of a football field. The detail in these bigger than life sculptures is extraordinary. Note the resemblance to Will Rodgers.

Old doctor joke:
Two doctors are conferring about patient’s case and one says to the other, “Well, I don’t what’s wrong with him either, but let’s treat him before he gets better on his own.”
Hope you get some answers, Jim. All my best to you.

I remember something similar at the trap range, but as I recall, the hulls were pumpkin orange. Was that the same mfr, and just a different loading?

I did talk to Dillon a long time ago, no BP including subs is "authorized" or "warranted" to work in their presses. Some here have suggested running an aquarium air pump attached to the powder flask. This is why I bought a good scale and am still wondering if a progressive will work (for cowboy, have other calibers of interest and smokeless). I do have 12 pounds of APP FFFG. And lots of bullets from Scarlett.
That scale will useful for smokeless propellants. It’s not necessary (nor is the aquarium pump) for BP & subs. Those are loaded by volume, not by weight.

Interesting airplane. It shares the same tail plane arrangement as the P4Y Privateer that my dad flew.
