Notcho Notcho Mann (have to sing it)

Taylers and maybe others were selling hammer and trigger kits. I don't know if they are still available or not.

I have the coach gun and it was stiff when new. Shoot a flat of shells through it and it opened a lot easier.

I didn't understand a word he said but I get the idea. https://youtu.be/LtriuHB0Xqw?si=_bbiTMWqozRdpOIQ

Technology use to come easy for me. I enjoyed the challenge of new things. Any more it's an irritation and burdensome. About the time I get something figured out, something changes. Our Edge has the touch screen and so much monitoring features. We got to where we could shut a lot of stuff off and get on our way. About a month ago we get in and the system reinvented itself. Another sequence of poking to get stuff knocked down. Same way with pad, phone, smart TV and so on. Not long ago the SASS Wire Saloon was formated completely different. Ok on everything else. Suffered through it for a day. I looked at browser settings. I waited to see if someone else mentioned the change. Then I noticed a pair of icons in upper right with no label. I poked the other one and the format changed back to what use to. Must have touched it by mistake.

Mary and I have some routines that help. When heading out, we each inventory each other to make sure we have phone, billfold, keys, and any other items we may need. When at Aldi and Wally-World, I always try to park in same or near the same spot.

I picked one up at gunshops a while back. But it's a reproduction marketed through Dixie gun works. Probably the most refined cap and ball made. Ruger Old Army copped some of their features.

You don't have to be old to have a senior moment. Of about 20 guys in my high school school class, there were three Garys, two Larrys, a Harry and a Terry. Got a little confusing at times. After graduating we pretty much scattered to the wind. Most I never heard from again. But one Gary I would run into once in a while. We would exchange words in passing. One day it struck me that I couldn't come up with his last name. Any idle moment, day or night I would think about it. Probably a month like a song stuck in you head. One day Mary and I where on the road and pasted where he lived in high school. Got me to thinking again. In frustration, I turned to Mary and blurted out, "What's Gary McCormick's last name?". She looked at me like I was crazy. I told her about dwelling on it for a month. What a relief.

Lauel and Hardy dancing. I enjoyed it. Maybe you would too. Young Chil Wills yodeling seated on the steps. The full movie Way out West.

Mary and I road the train. Got on Amtrak in Jefferson City. In St. Louis somewhere we got on one car that was switched out and hooked to another engine. Then to Centralia, Illinois where it was coupled in with City of New Orleans. There on to New Orleans in a sleeping compartment. Supper and bottle of wine included. Got to see a lot of nasty parts of towns we went through. Reverse trip back.

I loaded it a lot for Mary when she first started. Shot in Uberti Cattalman. Then she switched up to 44WCF.

Oh, all right.

I remembered I made a study of swapping hammers between Colt and Pietta short stroke. Looks like it could be made to work.

We were shooting at I forgot what range and they had a Bugs Bunny stuffed doll in front of the cowboy. I got video of Mary shooting it to pieces. Of course, you were to miss it.

Good or new Colt SAA hammers are expensive. I've seen a lot of hammers on ebay that need repaired. Only justification would be if they actually replaced the correct vintage of hammer in the gun. Late first, second or third generation should work. Smaller firing pin for smokeless. Older first generation have a bigger cone shap pin. Early first generation and later seconds or third. P.S. may try a Pietta hammer. If a Colt hammer will work, than probably a Pietta would also.

Watched a video of a lady visiting a friend. She had an electric car. She went over to this next neighbors house and plugged into his charging station. He noticed and approached her on it. Her explanation was perfectly logical. Her friend didn't have a charging station. No grasp that she stealing his property.

Could be they live in an apartment? Mental institution?

Mom had all kinds of poultry. I can't remember the ducks or geese really flying. They could run and kind of lift off and come back down. Found this:

Someone needs to pull up with a big warm party bus and serve wine, sushi, fancy cheese, veggie burgers. Maybe an entertainers or two.

An eye opener. How we're hitched our wagon on China.

I thought of Rock A. Billy. Rollin on a Beer Gut.

Ahlman's in Morristown, Minnesota is a big shop with gunsmiths, shooting ranges, old fort, even a Cowboy Action Shooting range. I've bought a few guns there. They even repaired a pair if Smoke Wagons for us. Great People. I bought a Winchester Model 12. Said we were a long way from home and hope it worked ok. He reached under the counter and pulled out a hand full of shells and a credit card type key and told us to go over to the range and try it out. We did and it worked fine. When we picked up the Smoke Wagons, we took them to the range and shot them. I was looking through their marked down section and came across a MEC600 JR in 12-gauge. It was old but already on a board with edges to catch spills. The dirty tag had been marked down a couple of times to $90. I'll just take it, I thought. Took it up to pay and the salesman said, "We've had this a long time. I'm going to make it $60.00. Works for me. https://ahlmans.com/
