Pat Riot

@Misty Moonshine Hi, we are coming up on the anniversary for this thread. Has a decision been made about image and photo posting policy? Kind regards, Pat

That is some cartridge. .277 SIG Fury Or 6.8x51 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.277_Fury Image from: https://threadreaderapp.com/user/nicholadrummond My favorite rifle cartridge is the .308 Winchester. I have been toying with the idea of getting a bolt gun in 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5x48. When I read the specs for the 6.8x51 I thought I might be interested in that but I think reloading it could be a hassle. https://www.xxl-reloading.com/.277-Fury I did just learn that the military version, the 6.8x51 and the civilian version .277 Fury are loaded differently. The military version is much higher in pressure, 80,000psi. I found that in other forums. We can’t post links to forums here. A

I wish you great luck with the purchase and much happiness in your new home.

When I was a kid we drank raw milk. You had to shake the jug to mix the cream with milk. We also got farm fresh eggs and butter. My parents felt that store bought milk had unwanted government ingredients though I never did get a straight answer on what my Dad & Mom thought those ingredients might be. Best bowl of cereal you can have is when you use milk with cream in it. I sometimes add cream to my cereal and milk.

As soon as I saw the image I knew it was “just a stupid television script”. Stupidassed show. I can’t stand the “We gotta save this city” plot in that one and many others. If I were a TV / Movie Director my show mottos would be “We gotta wall this city…”

I hated deer flies as a kid. I recall discovering that my hair shampoo attracted them. Herbal Essence shampoo. They didn’t bother me with Head & Shoulders or other shampoos, just the Herbal Essence shampoos.

The term comes from the days of Flintlocks, though I cannot find a proper reference.

This attracts pool boys.

Can anyone explain... No

Joe you just reminded of my experience with Menudo. Back in 2000 I worked at a new rail facility in LA. It was winter and it rained a lot that year. The 2 yard controllers would send out for Menudo at lunch and they would invite me to have some with them. I found it to be delicious and every time they were having Menudo I would chip in. It came in a quart sized styrofoam cup and it was always nice and hot. One day I asked where the noodles come from in the Menudo as they had a chewy texture. Both Rick and Liz looked at me like I was an idiot then they looked at each other and started laughing. I did not understand their reaction to my question and I reiterated my question. “What are these noodles made of? Where can I get some to make my own Menudo?” I never heard 2 people make that much noise when laughing. Finally Rick took a breath and said “You goofball! Those aren’t noodles. They’re strips of cow stomach and intestines. Sometimes they use pig guts” For some reason I wasn’t as keen on having Menudo after that.

I do. Not Canned! Not fried! No nitrites or nitrates. No need to expound on hot dog and bologna ingredients. It’s only been discussed at least twice a year since ‘98 on here…that I know of.

Ugh! Yuck! Agh! Phooey! Blech! Just put that with the SPAM, fried bologna, head cheese, scrapple, potted meat, Vienna sausages, liver spread and any other weird canned meats right over there in that trash can. And don’t you dare give it to the dogs. That’s cruelty to animals.

What’s with the stupid laugh track?

I grew up using a tape measure and I learned to use it properly. When I was inspecting new trains being built for our rail systems I insisted on calibrated tape measures and part of that calibration was the precision of the end piece. One dipstick with his favorite tape measure he found in “gramma’s pitcher hangin’ box” can really screw up a slew of interior melamine panels… That idiot lost his job and cost the train builder tens of thousands of dollars.

I still do. Those XS Sights are not easy to dial in. I have them set at 50 yards with a 158gr RNFP over 5.7gr W244. It’s a spicy round, but really accurate from my 94.

There! I stole it, modified it, gave you credit. His friend’s a horse?

Dave, I hope you understand when I tell you that I am stealing that.

I no longer shoot CAS, but I still have my first SASS rifle, a Winchester 94 Trsils End .357 Magnum. I like to shoot it out to 100 yards using the the XS Sights I installed on it. The rear is a peep / ghost ring. The front is a white stripe high contrast sight. Sure beats the heck out of buckhorns and useless brass bead sights.

That’s hilarious! I would love to have that call as a ring tone.

Thank God that stupidity still doesn’t exist…Oh, wait!

Why not? They allow creative dance in the Olympics. I have been tempted to seek sponsorship and compete doing my famous dance of the tree. I just stand still to hard rock music as a fan puts a handful of breeze in my hair.
