Look at I57 Cairo across into Missouri then I60 to Springfield, Missouri then up I65 to US50. There is an interesting gun shop in Cabool, Missouri. Missouri Gun Company. This is their back room.

The Walmart stools because so popular that people were taking home the wrong stools. We put orange tape on ours to make them unique.

Great Balls Afire

You can't hardly swing a dead cat without running into road construction in my area. They are rebuilding the tri-level interchange just south of the Missouri River Bridge in Jefferson City. Three major US highways tangle up at this location. On the north side of the bridge, they are adding additional lanes. Also working on the overpass on that side. Detours, and lanes shut down. No way to avoid the mess. Of course, no one wants to slow down or give any currency to other drivers.

She goes up a couple floors and take out a bunch more bad guys in John Wick style.

A picture would help. The 1887 had one piece lever. The 1901 had a two piece. This is a 1887 made in 1887.

Check out Hit Girl from the movie Kick-Ass.

Besides the insane heavy traffic, they are adding two more lanes statewide. They are rebuilding a lot of overpasses and bridges. Where they are not doing that, they are resurfacing or making repairs. Choke down the lanes and have 60mph speed limit but is generally ignored. It's a battle ground. Plan another route is my advice.

The nickel plated Colt is Fronteer Six Shooter made in 1883. The blued Colt was made in 1894. The shotgun is a Colt 1878 10 gauge. The Marlin is an 1889 44WCF.

I'm way older than that. First computer was a Sinclair 1000. Then Atari 400. Then Keypro 4. All before DOS PC.

One of my favorite westerns. Gary Cooper, Loretta Young in a good comedy. Along came Jones.

Hanging out clothes on the "solar dryer", I could hear the "puck", "puck", "puck" of shotguns in the distance. I was setting on the Mound yesterday listening to the constant sound of gunfire to the north. Well over a hundred shots. There was a milo field there last year and there is a lot of volunteer crop established.

Bad Impression

Just a sighting in story. I worked with a big Sweed that was naturally big and strong. He was having problems sighting in his Remington 742 30-06 carbine. It shot all over the place. He came out to our farm to let us see what was wrong with the gun or scope. We didn't see anything obvious. I shot it. My brother-in-law shot it. It shot fine. Mark got down on our improvised shooting bench and tried to shoot it. We found the problem. He finched as if hit by a cattle prod. He forgot to take safety off but the problem was obvious.

Towards the end of The Farmer's Daughter you'll recognize James Arness in his first movie. Movie is worth watching just to see Loretta Young.

Oto Koret got me. Ojk?

Yesterday, I was certain it was Monday. Woke up this morning and thought it was Tuesday. About 8:00 Mary straightened me out.

A couple of winter's ago I came down with what I thought was the flu. I didn't have any fever or other symptoms other than congestion. I tried to tough it out but over a couple of months it only got worse. Finely went to the emergency room. Quickly ended up in the hospital. Spent a couple of days and nights in torture. Every 30 minutes some shot or pill or blood pulled. X-rays, scans, and everything else they could think of. Upshot, there is nothing they could do. Drugged me up to the point I have no energy or stamina. I shot 2 matches in 2023. I could shoot a stage but then had to set down to recover. After the match I was totally exhausted. I didn't shoot any this year. We have multiple guns and tons of ammo, etc. But Sawmill Mary won't let go of anything. Her arthritis is awful bad that she quit shooting a couple of years back. Just got a SASS renewal notice. I'll likely not renew.

We took a chance on a subtitled Jackie Chan movie the other day - Ride On was the name. On Tubi now. It was great.

Ken Maynard silent western movie.

Lonesome Ryder shooting 1860 Armys.

If they are made by Uberti, there is a ledge on the recoil face about 2:00 viewed from front. I'll see if I can find a picture.
