Great to see that you're back! Now where can I get one of those posters? :-)

At first I thought "Man, I have got to get to Taco Bell" and then it dawned on me...I am a little slow on the uptake sometimes. :-) That is a really nice gift, Mr. Avenger. Is that stainless or nickel? It looks great.

I got some nice things but the best gift was was daughter, son-in-law and grandson came to visit. That was the best gift.

Haha...probably :-)

Sorry...got a little carried away...

Dog tags were issued in 1979 in the Navy. I still have mine. I am a Shell Back as well and I still have my signed and sealed certificate framed and on display in my home. I hung it at work for a while in the early 2000's in L.A. I got a complaint from HR to take it down as the topless mermaid was offensive. I got it re-framed in a much bigger more gawdy frame and mounted it right inside my office door for all to see visited me there. I told HR to bring me up on charges...nothing happened. I am sure the Shell Back initiation is nothing like it was when I was in. Now they probably make lots of noise and serve cookies and kool-aid. Especially with that pansy of a CNO and that fruit-cup Sec'y of the Navy. They oughta be keel-hauled...twice...but that's just my opinion. I am sure they are really nice guys...if you like PC morons that are men in name only. Pat Riot

Santa (my wife) bought me a new electronic toy for Christmas. A Samsung Chrome Book. It's a mini laptop. Now I don't have to use my iPhone to come on the SASS Wire / Saloon I have a PC but I hate that thing. This is much better for what I do on the interwebs. This thing is super cool! I like it...I like it A LOT

I wondered how he was going t do that. Good job on his part. I'll bet that elk's ears rang after that. When I was 16 I freed a white tale from a bunch of brambles. A pack of dogs ran it into a pile of snow covered vines and brambles and it's legs were all hung up. I ran the dogs off and then used my coat to cover the deer's eyes by wrapping it around it's head and antlers.That's a trick I learned from Marlin Perkins on TV. I tugged and pulled the deer by his antlers and got him free. As soon as he was clear I let go of his antlers. As I was pulling on my jacket to free his vision and get my jacket back and darned if he didn't take off like a shot as soon as he could see. I watched him bound off with my coat tangled in his antlers. I lost a coat but gained a fantastic experience. Good on that hunter for saving this animal.

So, I guess we still have to post photos in an on line service to post them here... I tried reading through y'all's posts here and attaching a photo (jpeg) using what I gathered you all were doing and nothing. I tried clicking the "attach image" icon in the tool bar above and it requires a URL. I tried clicking on the "paste" icon above and dropping the photo in that way and nothing. Perhaps we, non admin types, cannot do this at all at this point. Not complaining, just letting you know...or perhaps I am not telling you anything new. Thank you and Merry Christmas Pat Riot

Lumpy is correct about the load and it's use in the S&W Model 52. That stuff looks pretty old. I wouldn't shoot it.

That is very nice. Happy shooting.

Merry Christmas 🎄

That's good news! :-) I pray all goes well for your second procedure. Dr. Searight? That's hilarious. I knew a kid in the Navy named Seaman. Good Luck and I hope you have great success after your surgery taking on those steel bad guys :-)

And all through the Saloon...

I also appreciate it. Thanks for bringing it up, Ventura Slim.

Lots of info on line regarding these shotguns in Australia.

Thanks Ace.

I would love to fire one and see how she goes. I have owned several pump guns - have 2 now but a lever, for me, would be easier to manipulate and probably more natural. I looked on line for pricing and availability but there isn't much.

Evil, I have 2 of the "new" S&Ws. Both have gone back. 1 is a model 60 Pro. Releasing and opening the cylinder was tough. The 327 Night Guard had a bur on the crown rifling. Both work great now but I was shocked that they needed attention for as much as they cost me. My older ones are fantastic.

I found "y"...hehehe

Hilarious. Thanks Alpo.

Very good news indeed. Merry Christmas!

The more sure "they" are the less likely it is.

The reason the record industry tried to kill Metal was because the groups were getting too right wing and too macho. Believe it.
