I took my Rossi 92 .45 Colt octagon barrel rifle deer hunting in Oregon for Blacktails.
Me and the rifle got skunked.

I’d like to see a contest by a beginner Morse Code operator and a smart phone user sending a text via flip phone.

All you guys are bad for my bank account!!!!
I picked up a charter arms snubnose a few years ago mostly because it was on sale, and i had always wanted a snubby because I watched way too many detective shows when I was young and impressionable (now I am just old and set in my ways 😁). The Charter Arms is fun and all, but I have now decided that the itch wont be satisfied until I find a real honest to goodness Colt Detective Special.
When I was a kid I was an absolute nut for sci-fi and old detective shows and movies. And I loved snub-nosed revolvers. I bought a S&W Chief’s Special model 36 about 10 years ago and I got the Colt DS 5 years ago. I traded a Glock 26 plus mags and accessories for the Colt DS. The 36 cost me $400.
There’s just something about those two revolvers that oozes “Cool”.-

Here is my Colt Detective Special with 3 different sets of grips. I prefer the factory wood. When I aim one handed with each set of grips the wood set fits best and the sights are true for point shooting. The Factory Pachmayr and the Pachmayr aftermarket grips both cause the gun to aim high. Plus they feel weird - weird angle not creepy like certain city people.

Here’s my Detective Special. It’s the only Colt I ever wanted.
It was made in 1982 and carried by a Detective Sergeant with the Monterrey County, CA Sheriff’s Dept as his duty weapon.-

Waiting to get this back From Jim Downing. This is what he calls in the "white."
Been 1 1/2 years in the making. 1970s vintage, unfired. They'll be more pictures when it returns

Gorgeous. Love the grip.
Will it remain “in the white”?

Which one is that?

BTW - another phone scam in the wild is notifying you of unpaid toll road fees.
I’ve gotten a few of those. The country of origin is the Philippines. At least that’s what I think because the country code for the number that text originates from. Though I did get one from Puerto Rico.
The roads they mention where the infraction took place are either fictitious or are in New York and Philadelphia.
I just report the text as junk and move on.-

Scam! The police would send you a citation in the mail or drop by and say “Howdy”, but they wouldn’t text.

I use a BiPAP machine. It’s a ResMed Air Curve or something like that. Yes, I still need a mask. That’s the breaks.
My Pulmonologist mentioned this Inspire unit, but after all the medical tests & procedures I have had done in the past few years where implants are a concern I would not get an implant unless I had a life threatening condition.
Tests and Procedures where doctors mentioned concerns if I had implants:MRIs
CT Scans
Xrays
Xrays or fluoroscope procedures using injectable contrasts.
Nuclear medicine scans
I don’t know if some of those tests aren’t possible with electronic implants, but I do know the first question asked regarding each of those procedures was “Do you have any electronic implants?”
Maybe this is something you should address with your doctor…not the doctor pushing the Inspire device. Another doctor.

Never been a Smarties or Pixie Stix fan. My candy of choice, outside of chocolate, was bubblegum. I loved bubble gum. Real bubblegum, not that crap in baseball cards. My very favorite was Bazooka that came in the little flat square wrapped in a comic. Best bubble making bubblegum in the USA.
I loved Bub’s Daddy too. The Red Hot cinnamon bubblegum then they had their Watermelon flavored bubblegum, which I loved.
I remember when Bubble Yum came out in the mid 70’s. I didn’t like how soft their gum was but when they came out with different flavors I liked those. They had strawberry, watermelon and sour apple, my favorite.
In keeping with the theme of this thread here is a link to The History of Bubblegum. It has holes in it, but it’s still interesting.

I have to look it up. I believe it’s about 20 yrs old. The owner of the gun shop bought it new and only shot it once. It was in his safe at home!
Ah, then it is a real Detective Special.
Actually, I just went to the Colt sight and they do not make a modern Detective Special. I thought a new DS had come out.
Are you going to carry that one or is it more for range fun?
-
It looks brand new. Is it a new Colt made recently? It sure is a good lookin’ snubby.
Yes, range report, please.
Congratulations Rye!

Well the Doc wanted to start with two steroid shots, one per cheek. We’ll see how things are tomorrow. If that doesn’t work I get a referral for cortisone to the hand. Fingers crossed, left hand only.
You’ve got lockjaw too?
Oh, butt cheeks…okay…never mind. I’ll show myself out…

None, and I mean NONE of these places compares to Knoxville, Tennessee and to a lesser extent, the eastern two thirds portion of the state!!
I have encountered some of the most rude, nasty people, (some of them aren’t bad at all, but the others more than make up for those) around the area!! It permeates the professional sector, the political system, and much of the business community as well!!
I sometimes intentionally offend the most obnoxious of these people by asking if that UT stands for “Useless Trash”, “Ugly Trollops”, or “Uncontrolled Thugs”??
Are these people from out of state?
Quite often the rudest idiots are from elsewhere.

As you may know from previous threads, I have no interest in ANY sports. Some years back, the place I worked got in a stock of hardhats with various sports team logos on them. The guys were all grabbing one with "their" team on it. I, of course, was not participating. They all knew how I think about sports, so naturally they started asking me which team's hardhat I was going to get.
I walked over to the display, and picked one "This is my team" I told them:
Glad you brought this up.
In many of the construction companies I dealt with doing light rail start ups they had rules against unauthorized hard hats and any decals on hard hats not provided by the company. Companies would put certain safety decals on hard hats indicating the wearer’s training and access to dangerous areas, like tunnels and boxes.Their excuse for no other decals was that glues from some decals might hurt the integrity of the helmet. (Utter BS)
When pressed, the safety folks will say that the decal rule is mostly to keep people from putting sports, religious or political decals on their helmets to mitigate arguments, wasted time on discussions or even fights. -

I have not spent much time in AZ or OH. Mostly just passing through. We did visit my uncle in Cleveland when I was a kid.
Sorry we’re hijacking your thread RyeWhen I went to work in Charlotte the very first question I was asked by nearly everyone was “Who is your favorite college team?”
I always said “I don’t have one.” and that was always met with confusion or anger or surprise.
At an all hands staff meeting out CEO asked if there were any ways we could save tax dollars and get more done with less. My response was met with derision, hate and disdain.
I raised my hand and the CEO picked me to speak. I stood up and a lady handed me a microphone (big event). I took the microphone and said:“If people would do their jobs and quit spending half the work day talking about sports the taxpayers might just get some bang for their buck.”
A collective gasp and a total look of surprise on the CEO’s face.
He said and the asked “That’s right. You’re the only one that works here that I know of that doesn’t have a favorite college team.
How would you go about telling folks not to spend time on sports?”“That’s easy. Show of hands; how many people here are in supervisory or managerial roles?”
Nearly 3/4 of the attendees raised their hands.
I then said “If everyone that raised their hands did their jobs and followed the City’s HR rules on job performance and quality use of time I wouldn’t be standing here offending people that think it’s their right to waste time and tax dollars talking about sports.”
With that I sat down. I was dead quiet in that huge conference room for at least 20 seconds. Then the CEO said “Managers, you heard the man. Let’s see if we can’t do something to get people focused on their work.
Are there any other recommendations?”
I truly thought I would be a pariah at work after that, but so many people told me they liked what I said at the meeting. I think most people fell into the “favorite college team” BS because they wanted to feel included.
I do know that sports talk in my area of work did diminish.

Walmart has their ammo locked up. Everyone I’ve been to as a matter of fact. You have to get a clerk to open the the case to get you what you want. That’s the only thing locked up.
That’s true. Ammo, except shotgun ammo, is locked up. I forgot about that.
It’s that way at all Walmarts. They also do not sell handgun ammo. I like to pop in once in a while and buy Federal AutoMatch .22 and then tell the clerk how great it fires from my handguns.
Now that I think about it I haven’t bought ammo at Walmart in 2 years.-

"Kiss mah grits!"
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
It’s like Lutefisk only less fishy and more grainy…Not really
I love grits with butter, salt & pepper.
I also love to have over easy eggs with bacon and grits and I mash the eggs up into the grits and eat it with bacon and toast while using a fork that tastes like buttery grits with egg yolk in them.
