In the 70’s I loved Hard Rock. I also liked Funk. I had one friend that also liked Funk. He and I would hang out and listen to Parliament, Sly and the Family Stone, Kool and the Gang. Good Times. Rest in Peace, Mr. Stone. Thank you for some great music.

Rest in Peace, Mr Clapp. And Thank You.

Regardless of the name it can be BAAAA’d

I go to Walmart here weekly. It’s definitely one of the better Walmarts I have been in.

Thanks Marshal.

When I was a kid I wanted an AR-7 in the worst way. At age 57 I finally got one. A Henry model of the “U.S. Survival Rifle” AR-7. The crappy tin barrel shroud and giant orange plastic front sight were a bit of a let down, but the accuracy with certain ammo made up for those shortcomings. But! Not enough for me to keep it. I sent it down the road last year.

I am wondering if your fuel mixture has too much oil? At higher RPMs it’s sputtering. That’s a really cool little engine. Does it have a drive that can be used to power a small bike or trike? An RC model with this engine would be so neat!

@Rye Miles #13621 Grab A Gun has the Ruger 57 on sale for $400. https://grabagun.com/ruger-57-pistol-5-7x28mm-20-rounds-adjustable-fiber.html

I look at it this way: An anniversary for two individuals does not include me in any way if I wasn’t there for the event. Why should I interject myself into their anniversary if I don’t know the status or condition of their personal situation?

Amazing! I could drive the car, but driving that car, staying with the line, trying not to be distracted from the possible high speed crushing death with complimentary fireball… Nahhhhh! And the plane? No freakin’ way! I want no part of that.

Not divorced but I would never presume to wish someone a Happy Anniversary after a divorce. Hell, I can’t remember my own anniversary half the time. I’m sure as heck not going to remember someone else’s anniversary anyway. Now, I have been to “Happy Divorce Day” parties where someone celebrates the anniversary of their divorce. Both times it ended badly and with much drama. Going into it will give me a headache so all I will say is, if you have a Divorce Anniversary Party DO NOT INVITE YOUR EX!!!

I resemble this today. Making a smoked Boston Butt right now.

I may have posted this before.

@Father Kit Cool Gun Garth I would still consider a truck or SUV that has the towing and braking capacity of 10,000 pounds. Anything electric can malfunction when it’s most inconvenient. I used to have a 22’ deck boat. Boat and trailer weighed 5,000 pounds. The trailer had an Inertia Activated braking system. It worked very nicely and very smooth. It worked well enough that I could tow it and stop with my Chevy S10 ZR2. Though the ZR2 definitely felt like it was struggling both in acceleration and stopping. The ZR2 had a supposed 7,500 pound towing capacity. I only used the S10 for a very short while (less than a month) and then we got a Chevy Suburban 1500 with a towing package. It had beefed up brakes and a 10,000 pound towing capacity. The first time I towed the deck boat with that I could tell an immediate difference in the braking and handling over the S10. Much smoother and easier to control all around. The S10 towed the bass boat and the Suburban towed the deck boat. What are you going to do with your Toyota?

6000 pounds? A good rule of thumb is to have a vehicle rated to tow double the weight of your trailer load. And what @Jack Spadesaid is most important. Having a tow vehicle with adequate braking for both vehicles is truly important.

But remember to leave the key fob, take the cannoli.

That’s my test as well. I do switch up ammo during the test period just to make sure it’s good all around.

I have been considering that too. I have an M1 Garand that my nephew, a Marine that served in Iraq, Afghanistan would love to have it. I am not sure who else in my family would like which guns. I have been tempted to liquidate to buy guns on my bucket or grail list. I actually already done that to buy 2 Sig Sauers that I have wanted for years.

If I needed to carry a .22 due to health or physical issues. I would. I had a real eye opener a while back. For no apparent reason that I could figure out I got tendinitis in my right elbow. My elbow was a bit sore and then I went to the range to shoot my .38 revolvers. When I pulled my S&W 442 and began to fire I could not pull the trigger due to the excruciating pain that erupted in my right elbow and down my arm to my wrist. I couldn’t pull the trigger shooting double action on any of my revolvers, but single action was doable, but painful. The funny thing is, recoil didn’t really hurt. Pulling the trigger did. I went to my car and got my Ruger RXM. I could pull the trigger and fire it with minimal pain. A range buddy of mine let me shoot his Sig P365. I could pull the trigger on it with minimal pain. Finally, A couple of weeks ago I could pull the trigger on the 442 without pain. The trigger pull on that gun is lighter than factory. It has an Apex spring kit and firing pin. I will be switching my carry gun(s) to semiauto. Sig Sauers P365 and P226, Ruger RXM and maybe a P365X. I will be purchasing a Ruger LCP II for a “just in case” pistol.

That dealer is price gouging.

Boy, you can sure see who means business…or can you?

I have 3 Benchmade knives. A Mini Griptilian that I have misplaced. A Griptilian that stays with my bedroom gun. And a fixed blade Bone Collector hunting knife. I carry the CRKT M16 because I misplaced my Mini Griptilian. I’m pretty sure if I do find the mini I will continue carrying an M16 knife. I also have a CRKT M21 with Veff serrations that I called my “bike knife”. That one is the knife I carry when I am on my motorcycle.

I met a guy that told me what he planned to do with his guns when he died. Each gun in his safe is assigned a number. He will involve a local gun shop in his plan. At his funeral it will be announced that any family member or good friend that wants one of his guns will draw a number from a hat. The numbers correspond to the numbers that he assigned to each gun. If there are more guns than ticket drawers the drawings start over. Once all numbers are drawn the gun shop he had made arrangements with will take possession of the guns and when family and friends show up with their tickets all guns will be legally transferred. The ammo and designated accessories will also go with the guns. He said this would stop any family squabbles over his guns. I like this idea. I plan to do this.
