    As long as they don't unbalance our universe, I'm good with both of them, but I don't know that I'd say EITHER of them is balanced.

    Are any of us? :D

    Compared to THOSE two, yeah. Compared to the rest of the world, maybe not. Maybe Alpo's right, (DON'T tell him I said that), they balance each OTHER out.

    They do seem to balance their part of the universe, don't they?  :D

     

    Sort  of a Yin and Yang  sort of thing.  'Taint good nor bad, it  just is!

    Ordered and  confirmed, delivery  next week.

     

    How did you  find this place?  I never came across them before.

     

    Thanks, Sarge.  I  owe you  one.

    You know that you can always count on your Sergeants. When I was in, ('77 thru '90), we called them jungle hats, so I just searched "jungle hat size 8", and that's one that came up.

    Walk faster! The Mummy's coming.

    That's one of the things that always bothered me about the old monster movies. The Mummy,/ Creature,/ Frankenstein's monster,/ zombie, etc. is SHUFFLING towards the girl, who instead of WALKING away from them, just holds her hand over her face and screams, allowing the whatever to Get her.

    Compare that to Dale Evans, who more than a few times came to ROY'S rescue, guns a blazin'.

    Really enjoyed this....I take my cowboy hat off to the sailors that climb inside those tiny bunks....I don't suffer from claustrophobia but I reckon I would discover that I did if I had to sleep in there.

    If you think that the Sailors have it tight, Marine berthing spaces are far worse. The racks are 4 high in the compartment. The bottom one is literally on the floor, the next about 18 inches above that, etc. They are also only about 18 inches wide. They share a common "aisle" with the next row, which is about 24 inches away. Marines have take turns getting out of their racks because there's not enough room for all eight guys to get up at once.

  6. A bit of an update here: Since Cimarron was no help at all, I decided to go further and call Pietta, since they made the thing. COMPLETELY different result. On the Technical Help Line I spoke to the head gunsmith there, one David Hadaway. I told him what I'm dealing with, and he said that he'd never heard of one being that far off either. He emuled me a repair form to fill out and return, and will be sending me a UPS Label to send the gun in to him for repair. This is even though I bought the gun used. I'm anxious to hear what he has to say and do. 

    As an aside, I asked him if I needed to remove the Poly Ivory grips I had on it. He said that I did not, and that he would be sure to wipe them off since he and the other guys there would surely drool on them.

    Years ago IBM had us donating to United Way until I found out that 93% of the donation went to “management” expenses.

     

    I quit donating.

    my don in law was an ardent supporter of the Wounded Warrior program until they were discovered fraudulent as well.

    They had some big numbers back in my day, but I have a hard time believing they could get away with 93% - they arent based in Minnesota.

    I always heard that the A.S.P.C.A. is the same way. I guess that it costs a bunch to produce those commercials.

    Yup, I was joking with a cashier when I saw my cart full of paperbags and I mentioned it was like I was a kid again, and the young cashier had no idea what I meant.

     

    Save the trees, now save the environment, in a few years we will be back to save the trees again.

    Don't forget the Ice Age they swore was coming back then, too.

  9. We often see and hear discussions on what to have in your Bug Out Bag. I don't have a Bug Out Bag. All my stuff is here at the house. If the SHTF, THIS is where I want to be. I can see having a Get Home Bag, but not a Bug Out Bag. Besides, I"m too old to Bug Out. 

    What do you guys think.

    This hypothetical question is based on a hypothetical scene in a hypothetical novel that's hypothetically taking place in 1972.

     

    Didn't have a whole lot of 20-shot 9mms in 1972.

    They had the Browning Hi Power and the S&W 59.
