  1. Plenty of risk factors for stomach cancer. Why only mention chewing tobacco? According to the state of Kalifornia everything is a potential cancer risk.
  2. My local FFL just left a message. He's getting Fed 150s. New price, $89. 45 days ago I paid $70. So much for the glass being half full.
  3. My local Sheels boosted their SPP price from $69 to $95. No LPPs available. Again.
  4. As one who has used air purifying full face respirators and supplied air respirators for over 30 years, I look at that and wonder how anyone used that thing successfully. I've been in chlorine gas and it's brutal. (I work in a chemical plant) I've been exposed to phosgene too. Nasty stuff. I cannot fathom trying to breath, to survive that stuff in trench warfare with that rudimentary rig with bullets flying overhead.
  5. The local Scheels got two of the 44 magnum Marlins in several months ago and they still have them even though for two weeks they had them sale priced at $899. Both rifles were very well put together, fit and finished and bluing is outstanding. I have no doubt the smaller caliber rifle will be the same.
  6. Such a fun entertainer. Great music, fun videos, an all around great guy. He'll be missed. Rest in Peace, Toby. Oh, and F cancer.
  7. I prefer a Coleman. Coleman tent, that is. If I was in the market for a camper I'd look at Airstream from the 80s. Very well built.
  8. According to Wikipedia she has donated over a million dollars to the HRC, BHO, the DNC etc. So there's that too.
  9. I tried. Went to Unique and now its rare... so I went to APP. That's more better funner anyway.
  10. My son's 3 year old Great Pyrenees now tips the scale at 180 lbs and a bigger sweetheart I've not met. Doesn't seem that long ago that little pup was only 30 lbs. Dogs... so easy to love. That's a good lookin best friend you have there.
  11. After years of Trailboss, I started experimenting with Unique. Now it is scarce. I also tried Tin Star. Good, but generally a little warm for CAS in the revolvers, at least at the low end of published loads. So I switched to APP. Love that stuff! I recently got lucky and got into a decent amount of Trailboss so I'm set for a few years. I'll relegate Unique to my 44 Special Skeeter loads. Most of my shooting this year with be with APP.
  12. Too much ink involved at home... gets pricey. If I use the printer at work I'll get fired. I'd have never read a Louis L'Amour if it wasn't a PAPERback.
  13. Wouldn't two guns just be natural for a cas GF'r? I can see twin Smith 69s...one in each hand just like Tombstone's Doc Holiday said.
  14. Just watched it. Pretty good movie. Turns out Dean Martin did a number of westerns. Didya notice though, several times both Dean Martin and Robert Mitchum's character's guns went from SAAs to some early (Smith, Colt?) DA swing out cylinder revolvers and back to SAAs? Maybe a 1917 model, maybe a 2nd model Hand Ejector or something similar? No, not Colt DA Thunderers as it was plain as day the cylinders swung out for loading/unloading. Just a tad off date.
  15. I don't see him volunteering to go door to door attempting confiscation. Good luck with that.
  16. You wanna punish a kid today? Take away his/her (only two genders, btw) cell phone for a week. Their precious heads will explode.
  17. And yet both animals have strengths the other does not.
  18. For me and possibly many others, when new to cowboy action we soon also discovered we'd need to reload. We were told use Trailboss as it is good for CAS velocities, new reload-friendly in some ways, and was available everywhere for a reasonable price, so we did. We also discovered we really liked it and it was about perfect for 45 Colt due to its bulkiness in the case. So we got used to it. I still prefer it for CAS loadings in 45 Colt, 44 Special, 45-70, and 44-40, all when not using APP. I use several other powders for all my other handloading, but Trailboss for many of us, is still king for CAS.
  19. I got punished for bad grades, not rewarded for good grades. Good grades were expected. My dad has a PhD in Nuclear Engineering and my mom has a Masters in Biology, Chemistry somethingorother and taught those for decades. Slacking in education effort in their home was not going to be allowed. I'm quite surprised to be alive today.
