  1. It looks kind of like a fruitcake with no alcohol and less fruit. I’ll bet it’s good! Thanks Dave.
  2. We had a Pasty shop near us in Garden Grove, CA. It was a call in / pick up affair. You could also order at the counter. They had a variety of different ones. There was one like a beef pot pie only very little gravy. It was my favorite.
  3. @alpo, you and yours okay? I saw you posted a thread about 15 minutes ago.
  4. Yes. A teacher of mine had these chits that one would buy to support the war in 1780, I believe. It was like a raffle but I don’t recall the prize. All of them were hand written with a seal stamped / embossed into it.
  5. What? No burgers? No fries? What gives? I call Cole Slaw “cabbage salad” just to irk family members. I wonder if the cabbage salad on the menu is Cole Slaw?
  6. Here ya go. By the way, I wasn’t posting to prove your loads. I was posting to show El Chapo that Hodgdon doesn’t start at 10% low.
  7. These are from the maker of H-110. They manufacture it and develop the load data for it. I would prefer to go by what they say if I were loading these bullets and powder. By the way, my name is on the top one because I had to merge 2 screenshots in my Meme app.
  8. That is a great idea and I thought of this last year. Then I discovered access roads into the far end of the WMA (Wildlife Management Area) I went out at 04:00 and made my way around the far end of the nearest WMA to me and discovered several trucks idling. I didn’t even bother. I turned and left. I did find that later in the week there was no one hunting there. So, I went hiking with my gun and sat under a tree overlooking 2 hillsides. Luckily a couple of chipmunks showed up to keep me entertained while I sat and watched. No deer…they went to my house and ate all my birdseed.
  9. Yeah, I got a bit of a surprise years ago getting a .45 Colt rifle ready for a hunt. I sighted it in at 25 yards when I was working up my loads. When I selected 2 accurate loads I began shooting at a target at 100 yards and was sorely disappointed until I actually looked at some trajectory graphs and realized I made a boo-boo. I opted to sight it in for 75 yards. I didn’t get a deer that year. That was the only year I hunted when I lived in Oregon. I plan to go deer hunting this year. With the hunting pressure in the public game lands it may be another deerless year. That’s okay. I enjoy it anyway.
  10. In my 3 .45 Colt revolver Hornady’s LeverEvolution cartridge with the FTX bullet is very accurate and precise at 25 yards. Out of my Henry X model at 50 yards it patterns. I tried hand loading some cartridges using that 225 gr FTX bullet and for whatever reason I just haven’t found a loading yet that I would hunt with. No idea why. @Rye Miles #13621 have your friend shoot at 50 yards and then 100 yds. .45 Colt in a heavier traditional bullet in a traditional loading drops 6-8” from 50 to 100 yards. Going by memory here, but sighting at 100 only puts the bullet at 2-3” high at 50 yards. Here are some examples of factory ammo zeroed at 25 yards. The drops at 100 yards are eye opening. https://ammo.com/ballistics/45-long-colt-ballistics
  11. It only ran 2 seasons? Ah, 3 seasons. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilligan's_Island Marianne! Still…
  12. Yeah, I probably wouldn’t like Jesters. I picture them as annoying fruity-boys that used drama and bitter humor to cover for their own inadequacies and preyed on others to build their egos…and probably keep their heads. But, I would never be a king nor a subject of one. I believe I am more in line with the thinking outlined in the story of Robin Hood. I have often wondered how many jesters met their end in a dark hallway at the tip of a dagger? Jester “privilege” or not.
  13. It’s more like a fast surge of flood water. Still, scary and destructive. I have been at sea a couple of times during hurricane and tropical storm conditions. There’s nothing like it. It’s fantastic, exciting, awe inspiring and truly scary as hell all at the same time. The closest I came to experiencing hurricane conditions on land was twice in Virginia, but most of the hurricane’s force had dwindled before reaching there. Also in and around Charlotte, NC dealing with the storms that occurred due to hurricanes making landfall. But I have never experienced a hurricane first hand on the coast in the south. I hope and pray no one is injured or worse, loses their life in this or any storm.
  14. More jobs: Telephone repairmen Draftsmen By the way, I do not see these jobs going away as bad. It’s just the way it is. In most cases it is progress. Jobs of old that went away due to progress. Street sweepers Messenger boys Lamplighters
  15. I thought only the beds were aluminum. Weird! It just dawned on me that in the early 70’s people used to joke that Datsuns were made out of beer cans.
