  1. So many inconsequential modern things are banned at matches, why not cell phones. Certainly not of the time and for many a major distraction / addiction.
  2. Once you make a breadpan lasagna, you'll never make the regular kind unless you have a big group. Perfect for 2 with leftovers for another meal. Easy! I used to make a 30 plus pound lasagna for parties years ago.
  3. Decades ago, riding in southern Wisconsin I hit a huge swarm of tiny bugs. Full face shield opaque, front of my leathers sticky yellow. No pain, but I sure had to stop cause I couldn't see. Don't know what they were to this day and it never happened again.
  4. Annie Oakley did the same thing, with just her thumb. Good show, though and a neat trick.
  5. Haven't used a coffee maker for many years. Got a couple of percolators. I try to resist living in the land of small, single purpose appliances. I do confess to requiring a waffle maker and a couple of other outliers!
  6. You bought a new gun - you got one with rust. The seller should pay return shipping and refund your money. They should deal with the manufacturer.
  7. Funny! Not bothered by the time change, except the dogs adapting. I tried to stop wearing a watch when I retired. That lasted about a week. Much easier to stop carrying a phone, did that almost at once. Best retirement clock, one my dear departed MIL gave me.
  8. You might want to do a chamber cast. In that time frame there is a remote chance it could still be a 30-03.
  9. As a side note, and a sad one, I got an Email earlier today, which I unfortunately deleted. Apparently the founder and landowner of the Forsyth, MT Quigley match passed away. You may want to check the status of that match.
  10. The only times mine are on the leash is for training or Vet trips. I have the good fortune to live in the country with lots of space.
  11. I have never had a big digger after I made sure I always had two or more dogs. Dogs that are bored do strange things.
  12. Knowing when the time has come - I swear some dogs have told me. The last time we waited too long and it was the worst of several partings in my life.
  13. Welp, I can't recall at just what age, but Mom, passed at 89, subtracted a year every Birthday for at least 8 or 10 years. Not that much younger than you, hang in there!
  14. My best and oldest friend, in his late 70's is absolutely taken with them. He was a bicycle enthusiast as was I in younger days as well as a motorcycle enthusiast. He has been trying to talk me into one for years. Sold his other bicycles and all but one light motorcycle. Tempted, but have so far managed not to test ride one.
  15. Whatever else you have, IMHO, you need a Rock Chucker! I sold my first one when I got a fancier press, then soon bought another! Handy in many ways.
  16. Buy a small real gold bead pierced ear earring. Cheap, never tarnish, you can drill or just glue. They generally come in pairs so you have a spare.
  17. Don't fool around with improv for photography of an eclipse. Be as careful as you are with guns. Been as heavily into cameras as guns for most of my life. If you can't see, you can't shoot. Follow genuine experts!
  18. If you have some property, you could make enough allowing trailers and tents to buy some expensive new gear! Check hotel prices.
  19. Rumor has it he also was fond of Vegas.
  20. I suggested wax / paraffin because most folks would probably have some in the house. The compound is better as is a burnishing tool, often lignum vitae, but the suggested method would be free for most folks.
