My given name is Thomas. My nickname is Tom. At some point my Dad started calling me Tomasina to pick on me. Tomasina is an Italian girl’s name.
Anyway, I got in trouble at school because a so-called friend of mine told everyone to call me “Tomasina” because my Dad called me that. I let everyone have their laughs for a day and the next day I busted that kid’s nose on the playground. That ended that BS at school. I got 3 cracks for it. Worth it.
That’s when the trouble started because when I got home my Dad said “You know the rule. You get paddles at school and you get paddled at home.””I don’t think so Glenda. You started this.”
My Dad’s name was Glenn. He didn’t like being called Glenda, I immediately discovered. So, I got 3 cracks and sent to bed without supper…again.
I always kept food stashed in my room. I got sent to bed without dinner often. One must always be prepared.
Oh, and that Tomasina BS ended that day.

I wonder… does she really sound like that or is her accent exaggerated?
I cannot place her location by her accent. Sounds like a mix of Appalachian Hillbilly and Gulf Coast Southern…maybe.
I only listened for about a half a minute. It’s all I could take.-

Good! That’s good news.

I'm the same way. I don't have, and don't intend to have, anything like that on my guns. The most I might do would be a Laser. If the batteries fail in that, I can still use my open sights. I don't have a "long distance" rifles except my AR and my Sharps clone. I'm confident that I can hit anything I can see with my AR, and the Sharps is just for fun anyway.
I only bought one to test I am very happy I only spent $80 vs the $300 one that I nearly bought.
I do have rifle red dots but they are just like looking through a scope. There is no chasing the dot like I have with the handgun.
I would have really been ticked off had I had a slide milled and re-coated on top of buy a several hundred dollar RDS.

Ahh the joys of knowing reflexive fire
I dumped the optics on my pistols
I was at a range and guy complaining about the pistol he was shooting with optics I tried it , did 2 triple taps (2 chest 1 head) back to back set it down walked away after telling him "not the pistol"I have tried and tried to like the RDS on my RXM. It’s coming off.
I can’t understand wasting precious time looking for a dot.
Besides, RDS’s are electronic. Electronics will fail and they will probably fail at the worst possible time. That includes the batteries.
I made a big part of my living fixing electronics and the problems that occur when they fail.-

I have an RXM and I have an RMSc type sight mounted on mine. It’s a Monstrum sight. My friend has an RMR type sight on his. Neither one had a problem with installation or use.
My RDS dot hovers above the iron sights.
@TN Mongo, SASS #61450 is correct.

Why, did somebody hang up on you when you asked that way on the phone?

I tried beer on corn flakes once…Once!
If you want to try something good add some heavy whipping cream to your cereal and milk. Not a lot, maybe half a cup. Changes the taste for the better, especially on Chocolate Cheerios.

So it's not a magic charcoal lighter? Once you dump it out of the chimney you still have to wait for it, all piled up together, until all the coals are hot?
20 minutes and all the briquets have some fire. They’re ready to spread out and start grilling.
Just be careful dumping them. You can burn yourself pretty easily. I recommend an oven mitt or welding glove.
Get yourself a coal spreader or ash rake to move the charcoal around.

Just wish I was sixty years younger!
I agree. For me it would be 45-50 years, but what an adventure. I would go Air Force ROTC in school and join the Space Force.

I use the brown packing paper that comes as packing material in things that I order.
I also use items that come in the mail like flyers and ads that use newsprint.
I like using the chimneys to start charcoal. No funky petroleum taste.
On average it takes 20 minutes for the charcoal to be ready so it gives me a time window to do other things that need doing. -

Oh Great...another reason to keep the damn milk jugs....
You could buy battery operated lanterns and ditch the jugs.
I keep 2 battery lanterns in the house for power outages.

I have lived in a number of houses with various basement door configurations.
From inside the house: 50% opened inward to the house and 50% outward toward the stairs.
We also had the outside double doors on a slant, which I call “danger doors”. There are too many ways to get hurt with those.
Our current house has no indoor access to the basement. You walk down steps to a door that opens in towards the basement.-

Hey, I have an idea, let’s post every personal thing we know about Sixgun Shorty just to see who can be the first to get his identity hacked…
This isn’t a contest, is it?

You should never post someone’s personal information on the Wire unless you have their permission. You should probably wait your post.
Use PMs for info like this.-

Yeah, they’re going to rendezvous with the beings from Betelgeuse and exchange elements for testing to see if further trade opportunities are worthwhile.
At least that was what was conveyed to me via a telepathic dream-link last night.

That is cool, @Creeker, SASS #43022
Did you make those decals or have them made?
I think one of these days I am going to have to go look at these Can-Am trikes.
