Why the end of your tape measure jiggles
Pat Riot replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I grew up using a tape measure and I learned to use it properly. When I was inspecting new trains being built for our rail systems I insisted on calibrated tape measures and part of that calibration was the precision of the end piece. One dipstick with his favorite tape measure he found in “gramma’s pitcher hangin’ box” can really screw up a slew of interior melamine panels… That idiot lost his job and cost the train builder tens of thousands of dollars. -
I still do. Those XS Sights are not easy to dial in. I have them set at 50 yards with a 158gr RNFP over 5.7gr W244. It’s a spicy round, but really accurate from my 94.

Dave, I hope you understand when I tell you that I am stealing that.

I no longer shoot CAS, but I still have my first SASS rifle, a Winchester 94 Trsils End .357 Magnum. I like to shoot it out to 100 yards using the the XS Sights I installed on it. The rear is a peep / ghost ring. The front is a white stripe high contrast sight. Sure beats the heck out of buckhorns and useless brass bead sights.

That’s hilarious! I would love to have that call as a ring tone.

Thank God that stupidity still doesn’t exist…Oh, wait!

Why not? They allow creative dance in the Olympics. I have been tempted to seek sponsorship and compete doing my famous dance of the tree. I just stand still to hard rock music as a fan puts a handful of breeze in my hair.

I know a cow magnet will totally screw up 8-track tapes. A friend of mine had 2 magnets and put them in his car console where several of his favorite 8-track tapes were. Boy, did they sound weird.

New scam starting in Colorado

Agreed. American side, Yes. Canadian side, NO…not to stay and eat or make purchases. -
All the farms I have been on gave their cattle “cow magnets” when they were weaned or old enough to have them. The magnets collect metal bits the cows eat when grazing, like; nails, barbed wire barbs, pieces of wire. It keeps the metal from being digested and causing damage to other organs. The magnet stays in the first stomach, I believe. Going by 50 year old memories here. I may be off about some parts of this.

Sounds like the BS charges I found on my receipts in Niagara Falls in Canada. -
The speed at which he took off on that horse indicated his intentions. I’m glad that horse didn’t move away while the kid was making his daring mount.

“Nobody’s going home until the $&#% hits the grass”? Is that boy high or drunk?

I keep toying with the idea of getting a silencer for my .22 pistol and one for my 9mm PC Carbine. I am going to wait until the hoopla dies down then decide. I have gone decades without a suppressor / silencer so it’s not at the top of my list.

Congratulations! Unfortunately I can relate to the cover and subject matter of your book. I hope your book does very well.

Rurry!

California talked about taxing car mileage. That went over like a lead balloon.

I thought that was a little dog. I saw that video on another site. Pretty funny and cute.

Rye, I have USCCA insurance and they also have training at affiliated ranges. You may want to look into that or some other insurance that provides legal services and helps pay for lawsuits. I am covered very well, just in case. Better to have it and not need it. There are other services but I cannot recall their names right now.
