So by that train of thought - Houston also has a coast. I don't think so.

Can someone please tell me where the "coast of Tallahassee" is? Tallahassee is ~20 direct miles from the coast. It was driving me nuts hearing them repeat that over and over and over.

I use pretty much the same setup as @SHOOTIN FOX. The upright portion can be made to whatever length you need for your particular umbrella. A small bungee cord between gun holders 2&3 keeps the holder in place.

Pat, You might want to contact @Choctaw Silver Wolf SASS 66636. He may still doing this or at least be able to give you some help/hints.

I wear Otto NoizeBarrier in-ear electronic hearing protection. No Bluetooth. Changeable eat buds/tips.

The Eliminator 8s were crap, as was product support from the distributor in my opinion. I bought a pair of each during the introduction at SHOT. Could never get the 357 guns to cycle reliably at match speeds, even after being worked on. The 45s I had were good after one trip back.

Got my seats back from the upholstery shop.

Dowco Guardian - animals weren't the problem. It traps heat and moisture under/inside just as well as it keeps water out (or even better).

I just dropped off my seats to get recovered. Lesson learned - DO NOT store a motorcycle under a water-proof cover for extended periods of time in hot and humid environments. Totally destroyed my seats. (I don't have a garage or carport.)

On the way home from work last week.

The site page is set up to order two different designs of blocks. If you want 4 blocks all set up for the same cartridge, with the same leather cover design, just put that information in the area for block 1. The first field under "block 1" is quantity. Now, if you want all four blocks to be slightly different, you'll need to send him an e-mail. Great person to work with.

I wear a pair as well.

We called our newest acquisition Buddy because we didn't know what else to say when trying to call him. After having him for a month, we almost changed his name to Chet. If you've ever watched Tim Allan's Santa Clause 2 - he acts about like that goofy reindeer.

Took him for his annual check-up and found out my Buddy has heartworms. Started the treatment. The wife says it hasn't really slowed him down. Can't wait to get home..

This Buddy, currently just over 2 yo. We rescued him from the pound when he was a year old - long story. We can't keep a Kong toy for more than a week before he's destroyed it. He tears them apart and then chews on the little pieces like bubble gum. String ropes? Gone in a day or two. We've considered changing his name to Chet. Anyone who's seen the Santa Clause 2 with Tim Allen will understand how he sometimes acts. Can't let him out of the house off leash. He loves to run and he's FAST! Once the nose hits the ground he doesn't listen.

Ordered 5/4, received today. Very nice!

I'll let ya know when it arrives - if only to let you know it made it.

My wife and I met Evil Roy and Wicked Felina today! Very gracious folks. Then we met Charlie Daniels at an autograph session at the Daniel Defense booth (SHOT Show). After the wife and I had our picture taken, Mr. Daniels asked for a picture with just me as he said I reminded him of his late guitar player Tommy Crain. Over many years in the Navy and a few SHOT Shows I've been fortunate to have met several celebrities Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally, Jamie Farr, Trace Adkins, R. Lee Ermey (The Gunny), Craig Morgan, Big & Rich, Lou Ferrigno, Mark Wills, Darryl Worley, Luke Branquinho, and several others. The ones that stick out the most are the band Lonestar. After learning that I bought a pair of tickets to see them for my daughter's 8th birthday they invited us on their bus after the concert.

There are plans to bring a .357 Magnum to market. I did not get a time frame. Other than that - all SAA's are coming through the custom shop. 18-24 months estimated.

Any info on this round? Saw an add for it in Rifle magazine but there's nothing at the link provided. Supposedly for AR-platform rifles. www.22Nosler.com

Marlin, I have my stereo system connected to my TV (surround sound) which allows me to play around with the levels of different frequencies. Truth be told - I still have a difficult time "understanding" spoken words in a lot of movies and TV shows. It's just been easier for me, and more pleasant for my wife & kids, to use sub-titles.

I like it. Usually watch it at least once a year.

I'll be there making the rounds and getting my exercise. Will definitely stop by the SASS booth, as well as several of the other booths dedicated to our firearms. Other than that, will primarily be looking at suppressors and rifle chassis. Will be staying at the Holiday Inn Desert Club Resort this year - has to be better than where we stayed last year...

+1 Variety is the spice of life!
