Its 2024 is your club stuck in the 90’s?
Rip Snorter replied to John Barleycorn, SASS #76982's topic in SASS Wire
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. -
Looks like the city’s getting serious
Rip Snorter replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Not new, but I don't believe they are widely used. -

Parking - boot on front wheel. -
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.

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.

Annie Oakley did the same thing, with just her thumb. Good show, though and a neat trick.

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!

Needed to reach the sky?

Brand New New-model Blackhawk with Rusty Bore
Rip Snorter replied to johnmuir2013's topic in SASS Wire
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. -
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.

Reloading for a Non-SASS very old Springfield ‘03 .30-06
Rip Snorter replied to Flaco Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
You might want to do a chamber cast. In that time frame there is a remote chance it could still be a 30-03. -
Recomendations for a Quigley Match rifle - 45-70 or 45-???
Rip Snorter replied to Tracker Jim's topic in SASS Wire
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. -
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.

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.

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.

Forty Rod is startin’ to get OLD!!
Rip Snorter replied to Blackwater 53393's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
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! -
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.

***SPF***RCBS Rock Chucker press
Rip Snorter replied to Cherokee Slim's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
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. -

My wife lost the brass bead off the front of her '73
Rip Snorter replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire
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. -
Total Solar Eclipse, April 8
Rip Snorter replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
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! -

If you have some property, you could make enough allowing trailers and tents to buy some expensive new gear! Check hotel prices. -
Tom T, "and watermelon wine". RIP, Mr., Hall!

Rumor has it he also was fond of Vegas.

Resealing the top of holsters
Rip Snorter replied to Bullet Hole Kid SASS#81025's topic in SASS Wire
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.
