  1. Kinneepex? :lol:
     

    I pronounce it Nipex with a long I. Done it for years. I didn’t know there was a “proper” pronunciation. 

    These come in really handy when working on guns. No marring.

  2. For pure orneriness I used to leave empty silver goldenseal packets in the rest room at work. 
    I didn’t use the stuff. A friend did. He would give me the empty pouches. 
     

    @Blackwater 53393 as an electro mechanic and then a supervisor working on passenger trains I could be randomly tested. I went 7 years without a test. One day me and one of the other supervisors were talking and I mentioned this. The next day and twice a month for 3 months straight my number came up. That’s when I knew that supervisor was a Narc. Funny thing is I never partook of weed when I worked for LA transit, but I was suspected of it the whole time. I found this out the first time I left there. 
    People wanted to know my secret. I said “Don’t smoke it. Simple.”

  3. I’d hate my last thoughts to be regrets for not having a reload or enough ammo. 
     

    I am gearing up for carrying a SP226 or Ruger RXM and carrying my S&W 442 on my ankle. This will not work in the summer when wearing shorts so I will come up with something different for that. Maybe a P365…

  4. If I woke up and it was the year 1145 I would try and go back to sleep as well and hopefully wake up elsewhere in time, but I am sure the bedding would feel like burlap and I wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep. Because with my luck I know damn well I wouldn’t wake up wealthy because Murphy is a sonofa…

    I rode the carry gun carousel for the last decade. after trying most every "best thing since sliced bread" wonder pistols, I find that 90% of the time I just carry my S&W 442 in my pocket. Chances of me ever needing to use a gun in self defense with my lifestyle are pretty low.

    When the EMP is detonated and the space mutant zombie virus starts to take over then I will open carry one of my "High Capacity Weapons of War" the media is always talking about. Maybe the Subaru of handguns, CZ-75.

     

    I also carry my 442 most of the time, usually with one speedloader. 
    One of the problems I have is lower back issues. A larger gun on my hip sometimes just kills my back. I have been told I need to try a more comfortable holster with belt slots further apart, but I am not sure that will work.

    I liked the P-220, but I hated paying extra just for the name. :D 

    I know what you mean. It’s one of the reasons I went with Glocks, but I really wanted Sig Sauers. Recently I decided to remedy that and got my first Sig. A new P229 M11A1. I traded 3 Glocks for it. It was worth it.

    Ketchup when it came to the U.S. was sort of a sweet, often nutty, brown sauce. (It quickly developed an offshoot that became the barbecue flavoring family, for those squicking out about the horrible disharmony of sweet with savory and spicy.)

    It also was something a bit posh and developed through British imperialism, so I would guess that given that a good portion of Chicago's immigrant population of the time were from eastern and southern Europe, the general flavor profiles that ketchup had and had evolved from didn't mesh well with the cuisines the majority grew up with.

    Which might go towards explaining why Chicago, for all of its love of meat, didn't hop on the barbecue wagon the moment it heard of the concept.


    A few years back I was making ribs on the smoker. After I smoked them a while I was going to put them on the charcoal grill and seer and add bbq sauce. Trouble was I didn’t realize we were almost out of bbq sauce so I mixed ketchup with my bbq sauce and used that. 
    The ribs turned out darn good and no one said a word about tasting ketchup. My son-in-law wanted my sauce recipe. I wouldn’t tell him in front of everyone else. When I told him later he laughed and said “Seriously, what sauce did you use. 
    I told him 1/2 Sticky Fingers Memphis Original and 1/2 Heinz Ketchup. 
    About a month later he texted me with “I’ll be da**ed! I tried your bbq / ketchup mix and it worked great and tasted just like what we had at your house. 
    Now, that was a one time thing. I haven’t done it since. I don’t want Sticky Fingers finding and banning me from their products. :lol:

    There are probably others, but original OEM Colt Ace .22 magazines come to mind.

    Who would carry that for SD?

    The aforementioned H&K P7. ONE guy on Gunbroker has USA magazines for them for $25. I don't know why, when everybody else has USAs for $75, everything else IS around $150.

    Not sure I would carry a gun that uses mags that expensive. I wouldn’t mind owning one, but I wouldn’t carry it.

    If I thought I might need more ammo, I'd carry an extra magazine.  Loose rounds for serious work with a semi-auto is silly.  $150 for a spare magazine hurts, but getting shot because you're fumbling with loose ammo hurts more.

     

    However, if I was just out for a walk in the woods with the potential to do some plinking along the way, sure.  I'd probably carry an extra box (or 6, if .22 LR) to shoot along the way.

     

    Angus

    What kind of gun has mags that cost $150? 
     

    ———————————————————-

     

    If carrying an autoloader I will have an extra mag.

    If carrying a revolver I will have a speedloader or two.

     

    If I don’t have speedloaders to fit the revolver I will carry spare ammo in speed strips or a cartridge slide. This is for fishing and back up revolver when hunting.
    I never carry loose ammo.

    NOBODY said they’re great! They ARE a tradition!  You gotta do the whole recipe to get that MARTINSVILLE effect.  Roast ‘em up and pile on the chopped onions, the Jesse Jones chili, and the coleslaw and yellow mustard!!  🤪

     

    Otherwise, you are better off with a nice Nathan’s or Hebrew National!! 😎

    So, make them like a Carolina Dog? I could do that. :D

     

    Nathans are okay grilled or smoked. I can’t stand Hebrew National hotdogs. Don’t know why.

    I remember seeing these at Food Lion in Concord, NC - just down the road from the Charlotte Motor Speedway. I bought them and tried them once…Once!

    I was not impressed.

  11. Well, if we were all transported back in time to 1145 right where we stand pretty much everyone of us would be in a wilderness and the only people probably wouldn’t take too kindly to us being there. 
    Unless, of course, we had the ability to a transport to a location as well as a year in time. I would definitely pick someplace like southern Italy. Some place warm in winter. I ain’t cutting heaps of firewood with an axe.

    I think this was Louis L'Amour. The walking drum. I think.

     

    But he was explaining why Muslim patients survived more than Christian patients.

     

    The Muslim doctors would pray before doing the surgery. And before you pray, you wash your hands (and your feet, but that's irrelevant to this). So they would go into their medical thing with clean hands.

    In 1145 what was used for soap?
