  1. Easier to swap the grip frame. AFAIK all Pietta open top grip frames are interchangeable. And AFAIK the same is true for all Uberti open tops.
  2. You all realize the OP is looking for a video that he can download to his computer. Everything posted so far is only available if you have an internet connection.
  3. Could have been because movie sets were only so big. The less a camera panned the less set you had to build.
  4. This test will make you feel very stupid....... This test makes you think before you answer! And of course, answers are below. (No peeking ahead of time!) Good luck! 1. Johnny's mother had three children. The first child was named April. The second child was named May. What was the third child's name? 2. There is a clerk at the butcher shop, he is five feet ten inches tall and he wears size 13 sneakers. What does he weigh? 3. Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world? 4. How much dirt is there in a hole... that measures two feet by three feet by four feet? 5. What word in the English Language... is always spelled incorrectly? 6. Billy was born on December 28th, yet his birthday is always in the summer. How is this possible? 7. In California, you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not? 8. What was the President's Name...in 1975? 9. If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now? 10. Which is correct to say, "The yolk of the egg are white" or "The yolk of the egg is white"? 11. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in another field? Here are the Answers: 1. Johnny's mother had three children. The first child was named April. The second child was named May. What was the third child's name? Answer: Johnny, of course. 2. There is a clerk at the butcher shop, he is five feet ten inches tall, and he wears size 13 sneakers. What does he weigh? Answer: Meat. 3. Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain in the world? Answer: Mt. Everest; it just wasn't discovered yet. [You're not very good at this are you?] 4. How much dirt is there in a hole that measures two feet by three feet by four feet? Answer: There is no dirt in a hole. 5. What word in the English Language is always spelled incorrectly? Answer: Incorrectly 6. Billy was born on December 28th, yet his birthday is always in the summer. How is this possible? Answer: Billy lives in the Southern Hemisphere. 7. In California, you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg. Why not? Answer: You can't take pictures with a wooden leg. You need a camera to take pictures. 8. What was the President's Name in 1975? Answer: Same as is it now - Joe Biden 9. If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now? Answer: You would be in 2nd. Well, you passed the person in second place, not first. 10. Which is correct to say, "The yolk of the egg are white" or "The yolk of the egg is white"? Answer: Neither, the yolk of the egg is yellow [Duh] 11. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in another field? Answer: One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all become one big one.

See if you can figure out what these seven words all have in common? 1. Banana 2. Dresser 3. Grammar 4. Potato 5. Revive 6. Uneven 7. Assess Give it another try... Look at each word carefully. You'll kick yourself when you discover the Answer. This is so cool..... No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters.... Answer: In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word. Did you figure it out?
  5. Some other possibility was that many streets were muddy especially the gutter. So getting in on the passenger side kept your shoes clean and dry. Consider that car doors were very large and streets narrow. So getting in on the passenger side eliminated the risk of a passing car hitting the door. Another possibility is it reduces the risk of getting splashed with mud or water by passing cars.
  6. I used to own a 1947 Ford truck that was heavily modified into a hot rod. One unique feature I remember was that there was no way to lock the driver's side door from the outside. You did it from the inside by moving the door handle down. The passenger side door had a key lock on the outside of the door.
  7. The original quote comes from the book, The Children of Men by P.D. James, “We all die alone. We shall endure death as once we endured birth. You can’t share either experience." https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1470813-we-all-die-alone-we-shall-endure-death-as-once The book was made into a movie released in 2006 On a side note: Orson Welles added a similar quote to the script written by Henry Jaglom for the movie Someone to Love: "We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone."
  8. Happy Belated Birthday to your much better half.
  9. It may be that it could damage their backstop. Could also be that they are being overly cautious.
  10. OK, Lets first separate what a pilot should do vs what a desperate pilot can do. With an engine out, a pilot shouldn't even attempt to take off. A desperate pilot would want to get away so they would continue to taxi while shutting down the now damaged engine. The take off parameters are going to change as the plane will need more runway to achieve take off speed. So, as long as there is enough runway, the AC will still be capable of taking off. Maneuverability will suffer so they will want to avoid maneuvers that exacerbate controlability of the aircraft. Now for other scenarios. Loosing one engine after starting down the runway will not cause the AC to crash as long as the pilot is competent and well versed in the emergency procedures for that particular AC. This is true for all twin engine AC be they jets or props. The takeoff will not be fun and one little mistake could cause it to crash but on one engine the AC could still take off. One caveat is that all other parameters required for takeoff are within limits. ie: winds, runway length, air density etc. Modern multi engine AC are designed with enough reserve power to allow them to take off after losing an engine as long as the pilot is competent enough to perform the necessary emergency procedures correctly.
  11. A power post hole digger capable of digging holes 10 plus feet deep is a better option. Disturbs less surface area and you can put a nice tree on top when filling it in.
  12. Nothing will overcome poor manufacturing.
  13. Interesting insight into what make a barrel accurate.
  14. Notice how at the beginning of the video there isn't any smoke and then all of the sudden, the stacks start billowing black smoke. That is likely the point where the engines were restarted.
  15. A cantilever bridge stands because all of how all the spans interact with each other. Remove a support and now the spans can no longer support each other and the whole thing comes crashing down. The same physics that allows cantilever bridges to span incredibly long distances and support massive loads while appearing light and elegant is also their Achilles heal. Typically bridges of this type are built from the supports outward in both directions. This balances the load over the support and keeps the span from collapsing until it is joined with the other half of the span that is also being built at the same time. Arch bridges are built the same way. You start both ends at the same time and build out towards the center. If you watch one being built you will often see extra support cables holding the arch up until the two halves are joined together. Once jioned hte extra support cables are no longer needed and are removed.
