Almost 60 years of driving and if you excuse hitting deer, I've not had an accident. Knock on wood. But city driving drives me crazy. And I've driving in some big cities. L.A., Dallas Fort Worth, Atlanta and others. Just yesterday going into Columbia, that's not that big, 80k I think, on a busy boulevard the light turned yellow about 100' before the light. I put on my brakes and looked behind me. My tailgater did slow down and we came to a stop at the light. I'm sure if I'd sped up and went through on yellow, he would have too. Just as it turned red some idiot blasted past in left lane and ran the red light.

I quit buying on GB years ago. Before they stared adding fees. Got Grafs 20 minutes away. MidwayUSA about 40. Starline 90 minutes. Missouri Bullets 2.5 hours. (Although both MidwayUSA and Grafs stock both Starline and Missouri Bullets) As far as guns, has a couple of hunney holes. One place charged $20 over his actual cost to order a gun. Often times less than GB. Plus I could work out a trade and lower what I had to pay difference.

We had a small chest of drawers that was on its way out. Mary would say, "It's old.". I think some of the drawers were coming apart. I pulled the drawers and replaced them with boards making a shelf unit out of it. Stored our Cowboy Action ammo on it. Plenty deep enough to hold flats of shotgun shells. And tons of ammo.

Good to hear he's on the mend. Dad had open heart surgery years ago. They sent him home within a few days. About a week later, the incision broke open. Blood and puss rolled out. Took him back to hospital and they cut infected tissue out and left the incision open for a long time. Six months in isolation with staff infection. Friend and co-worker for 25 years had infection in his spine last fall. They operated but gave him 1% chance of survival. But he did. On machines and ventilator and such for months. Other infections they tried to treat with antibiotics. His insurance quit paying. I guess the hospital was going to put him out on the sidewalk. His wife was about to explode under the pressure. Finally another hospital agreed to take him but they were not making progress. Several times sending him back to big regional hospital. After another couple of months there, he made no progress. They actually had a meeting with him asking if he wanted to be taken off support and die or struggle on. He wanted to keep on. (He couldn't talk but they read his lips.) Finally a rehab hospital in Springfield took him. Seemed to work with him more. They finally got him breathing on his own. He started eating and could actually talk. It's probably been 6 months getting to this point. I've got no information on his physical condition. I assume he's still bed ridden.

Sawmill Mary loves to work with wood. Builds all sorts of primitive furniture items. Not to be confused with fine furniture. She was redoing the laundry/pantry room. Was fussing with trying to find wood to use to build shelves. I commented, "I know it's not your style, but they make metal storage racks you bolt together?". She paused in thought. "I didn't think you'd want to spend the money.". Off the the first home supply store. Two units 4' wide by maybe 20" deep, head high. I think $60 total. She had it screwed up and putting caned goods on the shelves by supper time.

Real clear video of a Buster Keaton movie Scarecrow. Interesting one room house. Lots of physical comedy.

The narrative was close but the video was like they let some complete idiot edit it. Then the mixing up of guns and cylinders hinging out the wrong side.

Need to put those people in charge of illegal immigration.

Cowboy Action Shooting is a fantasy game. The originals were made to shoot black powder and longer barrels gave better performance. My original made in 1887.

Maybe not the first. Mable Normand had her own studio way back when.

I'd pad the jaws of the pliers to keep from nicking the spring. They are hard to find. I broke one and fitted one from Chiappa 1887.

I put cap rakes on my Pietta 60 Armys. But haven't shot them much since then. You can see from the video thumbnail how violent the caps exploded. They were the RWS PLUS variety.

Not difficult. Open the action. Take some padded pliers and compess V spring and work it out. Push pin out at pivot of lever and block. All the action guts should fall out. Anything else is pined or screwed. Not specifically a good disassembly video but well worth the watch.

I got 2500 RWS+ right when the shortage hit. Used a couple hundred but didn't like how the fragmented. Flakes down in action. Meanwhile, I was able to get 1,000 CCI #11s. Took the RWS to buddy at gunshop a and sold them for what I had in them. He added $5.00 per 250 can and sold them quickly. Looks like the price has doubled since I bought and sold.

Getting hard to find good westerns. This one is poor video quality. You get what you pay for.

I have a $14 endoscope. Great investment. It takes pictures and video. Makes everything look far worse than they probably are. A piece of lint looks like a mountain. Antique Winchester 1892 in 32WCF.

I bought a Ruger Old Army that was supposed to be unfired. It had wire bundle tie around hammer. Got it home and took it apart and there was black powder fouling inside the action.

Sure Hit sights should slip right on. http://www.surehitsights.com/page-4.html

Years back the gunshop had a copy of a statement from the St Louis prosecutor listing the crimes they would not prosecute. List included child abuse, domestic violence, rape, assault, robery, illegal drugs, on and on. The only thing they were interested in was murder and crimes against business.
