Utah Bob, Interned, interred, you got my point. I think i made a mistake and my lovely auto correct, which is now inactive, kept making my mistake for me. Haha I think a lot of it had to do with ignorance of culture and prejudice in regards to why Japanese citizens were put away in much higher numbers. That and perhaps familiarity with German culture. If you look back the "official" language of the US almost became German, not English during the time the Founding Fathers were developing our country. English is our official language regardless of what revisionists say.

Question about shotshell belt for a double?
Pat Riot replied to San Joaquin Shootist's topic in SASS Wire
I use a slide that hold 8 rounds. Each round is in it's own loop but it's spaced between each 2 like as if there is an empty loop between 2 singles on a belt. I also have a belt. On that I just load up how ever many rounds I think I will need and grab from the left, 2 at a time. I tried the 2 shell loops and like McCandless mentioned, it gets fumbly that way because the rounds aren't spaced when you pull them. -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Italian_Americans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_German_Americans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans There were German and Italian camps but the numbers were much lower in population.

I am a static magnet. When it's dry and cold the worst thing I can wear is anything poly, especially fleece. I remember years ago I was in NC and it was in the 30's and very dry. I was wearing a fleece liner in my rain jacket. I walked up to a liquor store door and as I reached for the door an arc come from my hand to the door handle that was at least 15" long, I kid you not. Made my arm numb and hurt like crazy/ People inside the store asked "What the heck was that?" when I walked in. They could hardly believe it, even though they saw it. From that day on I exited my truck by grabbing the door metal and then setting my foot on the ground but I still get zapped if I am wearing synthetics.

Alpo, They have a recirc system with a boiler. Depending on the size of the facility they may have multiple boilers / systems. Some older motels still have individual heaters.

Lead Monger, I agree that it was perceived that it needed to be done. Heck, if I lived then I would have probably been all for it. It's just an unfortunate part of our history. We will never know if interring those folks actually helped save American lives. It may have. That d*** auto correct thing drives me nuts...thought I disabled it...

How far forward? Could you get it wiith a long handled "grabber" thingy? If so, buy one, take it to the firing line with you and ask someone to use it...or, modify the rifle.

I have always been one to try foods from different countries and cultures but I would draw the line at lutefisk. That and "Balut". Look that one up.

I worked with 3 men who were children when they with their families were "Interred". They understood why but you could see it bothered them to talk about it. It bothered me that these fine men were treated the way they were as children. Funny thing is they were patriotic as all h***. We all worked together on a highly classified project when I worked at Hughes back in the 80's.

Got some tears...Looking over that list. Thankj you Utah Bob. That is a very nice gesture, setting up this site.

Very Cool. I like his hat.

Holy Crap! $99 for a 45 gauge. I just use a caliper...or the chambers in my revolvers.

I am sure that poster wouldn't be seen in a cardiologist's office...

CNO Admits He Knows Nothing About Ratings
Pat Riot replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
The CNO and the Navy Secretary are bureaucrat morons and should be taken out of those positions. If Trump needs recommendations on what to do with them I would be happy to oblige. Note: colorful expletives regarding those two individuals redacted. -
Doc Ward, Here is what I do. Sit down and make a list of positives and negatives about your options in each regard. Don't do it in one sitting. Revisit the lists over a 2 day or more period. Be honest with yourself in your lists. Once you are done whichever list gives you the most positives and the least negatives is probably the way to go. I say "probably" because there are many unknowns about what life will be like in the new job but I have done this a few times and only once did I make a mistake. Mostly because of the "unknowns" like, finding out my new boss was bipolar. Something you'd never catch at an interview. When or if you take the new job, because the positives outweighed the negatives, and you start doubting why you took the job go back and look at your lists again just as a reminder of why you are there now. It helps ground you. Good luck in whatever you decide. It's a tough situation but don't make it tougher with self- doubt and worry about "what ifs".

Quiet generator...oops

J Bar is correct but there is nothing wrong with a Stoeger if that's what you can afford. I have used one for6 or 7 years of matches and still do...the same one. I polished the chambers myself, keep it clean and properly lube it. When / if it ever dies I will get another one. Also, I shoot Winchester AA shells. They are smooth and you can shuck them easier once fired.

I had a rule about cell phones when I had my boats. The rule was "No Cell Phones".

Could it be that he is trying to use a Smart Phone with Google? I cannot use my Samsung phone to get to the SASS Wire, BUT, I can with my iPhone through Safari. Google won't work with the iPhone either.

Wow...Marauders site is a great resource too. Thank you Griff

Thank you Griff. I fully intend to do that...get Nate Kiowa Jones DVD and spring(s) once I get my hands on the rifle and test fire it. I like to see what I have before modifying anything.
