Walmart doesn't circulate $10s or $50s. You can pay with them but they don't give them out in charge. I don't know what they do with them when they get them. Mary asked for two $10s for a $20. They gave her 4 $5s. No, I want $10s. Go try the service desk. In the old days, cashier would recite the amount, start handling out the small change first, stateing the added amount, the on until total is reached. Now you get change dumped in your hand.

When I was a young man, I went in for a hearcut. In the chair was a big man (overweight) in the chair getting a short cropped haircut. He was accompanied by what I assumed was his dad. You could see a large crater in his head. After a bit, he pointer to the hole and said with much difficulty, "Don't ride motorcycles." I've taken his advice.

Big medicine. Trying to add up how many I have. One Winchester High-wall. One Uberti High-wall. One Pedersoli Sharps. On Trapdoor Springfield. One Marlan 1895. I think that's it.

I'm on my third cardiologist in 20 some years. Twice I've thrown the pills away and quit going to them. I couldn't function with all the side effects. Second doctor prescribed statin and metformin and something else. The statin would have killed me if I hadn't stopped taken it. Awful side effects. I only took half (one pill) of the metformin but it made my life hell. No matter how I took it, with food, empty stomach, half in morning and half at bedtime, I still fought miserable level of constipation. Now both those drugs have been taken off the market. I'm wondering if the six prescriptions I'm taking now will someday be banded.

I've been medicated to death the last two years or so. Been taking the baby asprian and getting bruised up and down my arms and hands. I found out the asprian was the main reason. I stopped taking it for several months and my brushing cleared up. Dr. wasn't happy. Told me to put up with the bruises and get back to taking the asprian. You can find anything on the WWW. Some say asprian does no good. Others say it dose more harm than good. I feel like if it does this to my skin, what's it doing on my insides?

An Our Gang I hadn't seen before.

They told me not to take one of my pills that morning and not to eat or drink after midnight. Had a guy that said he was an anisteseoligest give me the shots. The only thing left is paying up. Still not gotten bill. Don't know how much Medicine will cover.

I've wasted time thinking about how hot you could load for the Ruger Old Army with conversion cylinders. But why bother? I have a Smith 29 in 44 Magnum. I have a three screw Ruger Blackhawk 45 Colt. I don't need this power in a handgun. Just take a rifle and be done with it.

Not really so much of a joke. In Amish communities, they have many one room schools. They don't run busses. They don't get dropped off in air-conditioned minivans. They walk. We were in Amish country one time when school let out. About 20 kids streamed out and raced up the blacktop barefoot! One little girl had shoes but laces tied together and slung over her back.

My cataract surgery is completely done. I don't know why but they local eye doctor had to see my one more time. I figured just a follow-up check to make sure there were no problems. I was wrong. They did another full examination. Why? To see if I need glasses! I passed the tests easily. Vision is perfect arms length to infinity. Up close, I still struggle. I thought that would go away. But doctor said no. But I could get 1.5 power readers and use them when I needed them. Works perfect. Slide them down my nose and look over them at TV and such. Everything is so vivid and clear. Best upgrade I've ever had.

Do you find that you've become a master of finding back roads to where you need to go? Going on days and times when roads and stores are less crowded?

What impressed me is reloading what looked to be a trapdoor Springfield at full gallop.

Good is good. How about the under the truck scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark?

You never know. I went to high school with a family. John was in my class. There was an older sister and two younger sisters. A few years passed and John's next younger sister was married, couple of kids. They were coming home from a weekend at Lake of the Ozarks and crossing the bridge at Jefferson City. She said, I think I'm getting a headache. Soon passed out. Her husband turned around and went back across the bridge to the hospital just on the other side of bridge. Brain aneurysm. Gone.

You realize there is a big jump in technology from Ethel Murman version and Kate Capshaw's. Ethel Murman had a voice as big as the Grand Canyon. Here is Mitzi Gaynor version. She's got enough energy to light up a city. But the point is, Spielberg copies a lot.

Spielberg is such a copy cat. Watch enough of his movies and you'll find it's been done before. Ethel Murman saying Anything Goes. (About half into the video) Kate Capshaw in Indiana Jones and the timple of Doom.

You weren't by chance using paper cartridges? In my experiment with paper cartridges, I found some paper ash left in the chambers. I had some failures to fire - sometimes after a couple of caps - until I poked the nipple really good. I resorted to clearing the chambers before recharging.

I've had a long battle with insomnia. I tried melatonin. It just made me sleepy but didn't help me actually go to sleep. I've started taking PM ibproan at bedtime and doing better. Last night I slept from 9:00 to 2:15. Awake to after 3:00. Awoke at 6:30. A real good night for me. Besides everything else, my old body hurts lying down in bed. I can fall asleep in my recliner easily. I don't hurt standing or setting but can't get comfortable in bed.

I had a top punch for a Lyman Kieth semi-wadcutter. I used it to resize round flat bullets. It left a ring. You know what? The targets didn't know what hit them.

Big Talk

When faced with that problem, I take the best fit. Clean it up. Steel wool it. JB Weld a little dab. Set a bullet nose to shape. And you got.
