4 wheel Rugged Gear Cart is available!
watab kid replied to The Original Lumpy Gritz's topic in SASS Wire
if i had not converted two golf carts to gun carts i would get ne of these , they are very nice carts , and scarlett is great to do business with -
a long time ago i used to make fresh bread every morning - granted they were small loafs , thatt was the best id ever eaten , we got busy and it got to be too much trouble , i should start again now that both of us are retired - might actually get me back in the kithchen without being a pest
-
this is what i believe in , the ones that are getting wealthy giving back to the things that matter , god bless him and all of the families in pain ,

i agree one of the greats , i knew of some of the trauma [the rape] in her life , but not all that i read in that article , she deserved better from life , a great talent
-
nope , dont use that term unless im going to the store , returning from the store , or unloading what i bought from the sore from the car/truck , after that they are provisions - WE ALREADY BOUGHT THEM AND STORED THEM , its just a meal at a restaurant
-
just be careful of reloads , most factory will be OK even if foreign made .............ive had too many experiences with the reloads [thankfully none were injury] one cost a guy 14K as the shotgun he fed his reloads to was a test shoot [not yet bought] HE OWNS IT NOW and he paid for it twice , but then it was his own reloads - i would never trust his needless to say , there are only a couple pewople i know that i trust and one of them is dead = he taught me

i too bought early when we were in the infantile state of setting up our club here , i bought one really nice revolver [i still have it] cheaply and from a friend , it will remain with me till im gone , but thats another story , as mentioned dont hesitate to start buying a little to share to start , just dont go out and buy a lot for the whole family till everyone gets the chance to try some things , not everyone likes the same things for ever so many reasons , its all about enjoying this sport first so make sure everyone is having fun - i tried to get my family involved but all of them had other interests , i respected them , maybe one day , but till then i travel alone and shoot with friends , i have accumulated enough to outfit a couple of them if they ever choose to join me - we shall see , id love the company but i also enjoy my solitude , i came back to add that i still shoot that revolver even tho its mostly my backup gun , in the hands of a good shooter it would be a game gun , im not that guy tho , i do this for the fun and comradery ,

try it - you will like it , i use it all the time

i have a pair of chinks - i did not request a pocket in them , i wear a vest on occasion - it has a watch pocket and button holes for the chain as wekk as my original badge , i realize no one will care when im gone but i also have the invitation my little "popcorn gir" gave me to entice me to join her family to shoot the ND/SD state shoot - it was what really made me understand what this sport could be in my life , will always give her credit for getting me involved and costing me all this money ........but ive never looked back with any regret , ive me more great people and had so much fun , l

Very Nice set of revised revolvers , your work is very meticulous and the results very pleasing , im not a big fan of the short revolvers but i do appreciate the efforts and the thought that resulted in them , they are beautiful pieces

it will be interesting to see how american taste changes after these changes - im thinking it woill be good but may hurt some companies that have thrived on things that were killing us , the soda industry has contributed greatly to our obesity problem , BTW i never saw purple potatoes = wouldnt eat them if i did , thats just wrong - eat eggplant f you want purple or beats if you want red close to purple
-
i like our aldis as does my wife the stocking is not like other places and its always different as they dont contract the exact same items to be stocked in the same space , their items are fresh and we find them handled well , the checkout is reasonable in that the people are competent - i hate being forced to self checkout because the superstore is too cheap to have staff - then get overcharged for ill handled produce and such , i dont do the shopping often - mostly holiday times , thats when it means the most to have good products and service ,
-
i wont pay insurance fees on something that may not happen , ill just -pay for the repair if i want to keep the car - otherwise ill buy another car ,
-
im not overly welcome in our kitchen except when something needs fixed , but , having said that , we have at least four sets of knives - im told they all have a purpose , i just want something sharp to cut whatever im looking to cut - i often use my pocket knife when i cant figure out the "proper" one ....much to my admonishment , so im not certain if we have ceramic or not ,

oh , i realized how many japanese lives we saved as well - taking those we did , they were not going to give up and they had honor to protect as they did on saipan , my father spoke of it often , i also knew of the target selections as well as the alternative target selections , im well aware of the saturation bombing in europe and the dresden fire bombing , its why we started with firebombing tokyo [along with a little retribution for pearl , my fathers memoirs were sparse in some areas but not on the missions , they were long and cold , they were event filled over target as well as on return after getting shot up , he came home and he didnt forget , i have a list , he was more proud of his duties as ground crew electrician , he and my mother made the efforts to attend his squadron reunions for decades after - and after he died she still wanted to go , i was prepared to take her but she fell and broke a hip , it sorta cancelled the trip and it never came up again , ive always felt it was my loss not to have gotten to escort her there with all those great men and their wives ,

i rather like that trinity but i knew what he meant , we are approaching the anniversary again of both the results of these tests , ive always had mixed emotions on this , we saved a lot of american lives in the impending invasion , we took a lot o innocent lives in two entire communities, , we lost a lot of lives in its development , and the entire population of the globe is in peral if anyone ever unleashes whats here now - and that hasn't factored in what is currently in development in places we dont want having these , it brought my father home safe - it left from the island agecent to where he was , a contingent of the bomb group he was in , i would not be here had this not happened , yet , we all have to give pause and wonder at what we have created and destroyed , my father was always thankful at the decision to use it but sad for what happened - he knew in his heart the emporor would never have agreed to stop the war if it had not happened - after all it took two to convince him , then there is that aftermath of the indiana that delivered them , i married into a naval family - this was a tragedy beyond belief all based around delivery of these bombs , sunk under radio silence and complete secrecy after delivering them to tinian , this loss was also a tragedy of unforgivable proportion , ive said all this as a 1st teir decendant with more knowledge of both saipan/tinian and the indiana - i met and spent a lot of time with a survivor , as well as 1st and 2nd tier knowledge of japan having grown up with a couple war brides from the island one an adopted aunt and a wife that was raised there , sometimes government mindsets put us in places none of us want to be ,

Win an Entire Pallet of 9mm Ammo!
watab kid replied to Father Kit Cool Gun Garth's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
i wouldnt mind a pallet of 9mm - i have a few of those , but im not sure where id put it anymore , ive got ammo everywhere already ---i never wanted to leeave a mess like this to my kids and swore id never accumulate as much as my folks did , but when i die , i hope they have fun shooting up what i have -
cool thinking on her part

sounds like profiling to me

ive only got one hat , but i do have four gunbelts , that would be fun , was thinking to incorporate something for them in the design for my rifle/shotgun rack - something a little old west looking like was in the sheriffs office ,
-
yes , ive gotten a little too political a couple times as well , not to provoke , just hold strong opinions , its a shame civility has gone out of our political discourse , when i was young i remember family and family friends as well as the politicians using far more civil tones and actually having honest conversations over political things , sometimes even being somewhat convinced of opposing thoughts ,
-
ive always shot red dot and clays and will shoot them till i have gone through all mine , a good long time i believe , but if i had known this would nbe an issue id have stocked up on tjis as well , i dont think amy or at least very few saw this time coming
-
ummm , thats a point of view id not spent time thinking on , ill ponder a bit before i respond id been looking at it as an added incentive to those of us already shooting to add on , it does make sense to add it for those not yet involved - an invitation presa , i do think it would be a nice add on , and im not disagreeing on a separate category or something , a lot of us have them and it might encourage all to shoot them
-
do thar as well as all the other things suggested you will find 6things coming to you without asking , if i had any extra lether now id offer it , others will , , you dont need much yo start out , you accumulate as you go , acquire , pass down , shire as needed , it doesnt have to be expensive to start - plenty of time to go there later , im not as familiar with your area as i should be but i feel like saying im sorry your not elsewhere - but i know you will make it work there are good folks in your area and you will meet them at shoots , everything will work out fine
