Sometime after sunset, 82 years ago today, my great uncle boarded a Horsa glider for a one-way trip to France. He walked the rest of the way to victory. RIP Uncle Bob.

Don’t overthink it, Alpo. One out. Bases loaded. Runner from 3rd scored the winning run. Even if the umpire called an out on the batter, it’s only the inning’s second out. Spectacular walkoff win! Just enjoy the moment.

Individuals’ skills. Audacious coaching. Perfect teamwork. I had to watch that one several times till I stopped grinning. That’s baseball the way it was meant to be played.

Out-Damn-Standing!

Two of my favorite revolvers land right in this sweet spot… A 4” Highway Patrolman that is smooth as silk, even with full house 357 loads. And a 6” 686. Same rough weight as the previous favorite, but balanced forward with the 6” lugged barrel. My son calls it the “pistol that can’t miss”, and he’s not exaggerating. Love my Smith and Wessons from J to N frames!

These were part of my very early experiments into casting. They worked well for going down range out of a single shot rifle. They would ring a gong at 100 yards if the stars aligned. But mostly, I would be embarrassed to sell them as anything but scrap lead.

I have about 8 pounds of cast bullets in a caliber I don’t shoot anymore. I would like to re-melt the lead and use it for another purpose, but I’m concerned about the lubricant in the grooves. How will it react as the lead starts to melt? The lubricant is SPG, the black powder lube. I already heated the bullets on a paper towel lined cookie sheet to melt most of the lube away. I just don’t want the residual lubed to boil and pop like when water comes in contact with molten lead. Any insight is much appreciated.

This is Jack, hanging out in the Smokies.

Jack-n-Coke. I like 'em both, and happen to like 'em mixed too.

"Car guy" Yup, that's why I'd have that picture on my desktop. Of course, Farrah always was sort of a Mustang in her own way. She was my #2 Angel behind Kate.

Kate Jackson by far. She was sexy in that honest, approachable way.

Now that right there is F-U-N-N-Y!

Candy is dandy, but... It's a family forum. My kids loved Napoleon Dynamite and played it continuously for several months. I watched it once with them, at their request, and couldn't figure out what they were laughing at. Then I started laughing at, of all things, tater tots.

Mini-shells would be slick in that thing. Definitely make the recoil manageable.

I think with the right pistol grip that such a contraption could actually have merit.
