I buy from them occasionally. Good people there.

For Alpo: No, I wouldn’t take them. If they want to quit, they will. More often than not they will bum a carton’s worth of cigarettes off of you because they gave you a half pack because they were quitting. This happened to me twice with 2 different friends. I quit smoking the hard way. I hit a car on my motorcycle on 7-17-17 (3 sevens. Bad luck, apparently.) After coming home from the hospital I didn’t smoke. I did use nicotine lozenges. I kicked those things 50 days ago. For 5 years I only used the 2mg lozenges. I would cut them in two and I would use 5-7 per day. I quit them because I am having hip surgery on 8/25. The Doc said nicotine affects the healing and the body’s acceptance of the new hip. So, I quit the lozenges. Side note: Nicotine lozenges contain Aspartame. I did not know this until recently. I had some tests done and the doctors found I had a little build up in one artery near my heart. I found out that Aspartame can cause arterial build up near the heart so I had two really good reasons to quit the lozenges. The reason I continued to take them is in a study 10mg of nicotine daily helps to stave off Alzheimer’s disease. Every doctor I have told this looks at me like I am nuts. They did get off my back about nicotine lozenges, though. https://www.healthline.com/health/alzheimers-dementia/nicotine-and-alzheimers

Don’t know. Don’t Care.

Hmmm…I went through the entire list and I have lived in and driven a lot of states and I haven’t been to any of the burger places listed for any state I have been to. The one listed for WV is in Huntington, WV. That’s 2 hours south of me and the 2 times I have passed through Huntington I had no reason to stop. If I ever do maybe I will drop by Fat Patty’s and see why they have the best burgers in WV. Edit: This list would make for a great motorcycle trip itinerary.

I know I posted this before, but it’s too good not to post again.

I. Was doing really well working out every day and losing a little weight every day then my left hip got much worse. Once I slipped on ice and something clicked in my hip. About a week later I was walking on uneven ground to change my target. I had a misstep and BAM! My hip felt like fire and pain. My workouts ended as did regular motorcycle rides. 4 weeks ago I went on a ride and hit some bumps and my leg hip rattled like a worn out tie rod end. That was the last time I rode. Monday I am having my left hip replaced. YAY!!! I am looking forward to it. I am currently 280 +/- a couple of pounds. It seems I drifted right back up to the weight I was before I started working out. Any,I am hoping to get back to a regular exercise routine once my doctor says it’s okay. I have to say @Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 you should be very proud of your accomplishment. Losing a lot of weight is such a tough row to hoe. Did you notice how people will say “Oh my, you look so good. You look like you lost some weight. Would you like some of this cake I just baked? The cream cheese icing is just so good. I out did myself.”? I swear, even my wife will do things like she did the other night. She brought me home a bag of Twix bars. I said “Babe, why did you buy me this? I am trying to keep weight off for my surgery.” ”Oh, I know. You’re doing such a good job. I thought you deserved a treat.”

What do you think of the sighting system on that P365 SAS? Sorry for the hijack question Rip Snorter.

Congratulations! And you definitely deserve a reward for your hard work.

Since I stopped CAS I actually think I shoot more now, just not in matches or competitions except for .22 Benchrest. I shoot that once or twice a month. I tried shotgun sports and turkey shoots. I have zero interest in shotgun sports. It just doesn’t trip my trigger - PI (pun intended) I think I would enjoy IDPA again if there was a match nearby besides the A’hole rifle club near me. Nearby = <50 miles.

@Dapper Dave I was a Glock guy. They’re all gone now and now I have 2 Sig Sauers. Soon to be 3 or more. I tried a CZ75. Didn’t care for it. The same goes for the Browning Hi-Power. I do like my CZ 457. I am considering getting a CZ 457 Varmint MTR. With the right ammo these things can be very accurate. The best ammo I have found that my CZ 457 shoots best is SK Semi Auto Rifle. It runs about $8 / 50 rounds. For plinking fun CCI Std. Velocity is very accurate 80% of the time. There always seems to be 2 flyers in every 10 rounds. By “flyers” I mean 2 rounds hit about 1/2” away from the 8 round cluster at 50 yards.

Thanks Alpo
