Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hi Grizz, It wouldn't bother me as much as this dang poison oak. I was just getting over it and got it again yesterday. Regards, Allie Dang Allie, sorry to hear about that. Where are you that you're picking it up so frequently? In middle age, I've become hyper-sensitive to poison ivy (probably poison oak too). I've found Technu to be effective, especially when you think you've been exposed to PI or PO. It washes off the plant oils that soap and water can't. The sooner you use it, the better. It doesn't do much after the rash has developed. Technu If the rash is already present, Zanfel works well to relieve the itch. It's pretty expensive tho -- around $40+ for a tube. I've also found plain old ice packs numbs the itch for awhile when it gets that point where you're thinking you'd rather be dead. Zanfel Good luck to you, sweetie. I'm sympathetic! EDIT: Sorry for hijacking the thread, Grizz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Grizz, let me know if you want that salve. It keeps blowing the lid off. I either need to ship it, or go blow stumps with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 go ahead and blow stumps with it. I don't reckon the USPS would appreciate it going thru the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 I might ought to clean the irons I got. Pulled a cylinder out of one of my vaqueros tonight to take out to the shop to check some ammo I'm loading, dang is that thing DIRTY! Has some lead build up as well so that a 357 won't seat fully, I shoot 38s in it. I'm off tomorrow so maybe I'll just drag out my CAS guns and give them a quick cleaning.

Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 LOL Slim, I don't know that I'm even on my wifes favorite list. The second one looks better to me, I'm not a fan of the wincam stock on the first one. Thanks, Grizz, for the the leads. I agree. I'm not a big fan of the Wincam stock either. I like things that look a little more "traditional." Maybe that's why I like lever actions, single actions, and double-barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouchy Greg, SASS#71981 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I got something on sale on Ebay right now and it's doin' pretty good. 9 bids so far with 4+ days to go! Soooo, sometime late next week... A new Stoeger Coach Gun WILL BE MINE! Muuuhahahahahahhahahahaaaaaa! (rubs hands together diabolically). =============================================== I've been doing the same thing. I started selling off collectibles I've accumulated over the years that I'm no longer interested in, and so far have sold off about $1500 worth of stuff on ebay. A big chunk of that went to buy a Schofield last November and now I'm in the hunt for a Uberti 1858 Remington conversion in .45 Colt. The rest will go toward in-progress gun work that I'd been putting off. Another thing I've done that adds to Gun Fund is save up my loose change in a cookie dough bucket. When it gets full, I take it to the bank and it's usually $70 to $80 worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouchy Greg, SASS#71981 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I work part time in a gun shop/range 2 days a week. Talk about itching! Dagnabbit I handle the darn things and I wind up wanting guns I never thought I'd want! Currently thinkin about that Montaldo, Then I'd hafta git another one and then start reloading .45 when I'm all set up fer .44-40. I keep talkin myself outta this! We're sick! ===================================================== When I worked the gun counter at the local Gander Mountain, I'd get to drooling over some of the stuff we'd take in trade or buy outright, especially some of the great old guns that came from estates that the heirs didn't care about and only wanted the money they would bring. The one that did follow me home is the just barely used 1979 vintage .308 Ruger M77 with 22 inch barrel and 99.9% finish. It's the most accurate deer rifle I have, and the best looking one too.

Grizzly Dave Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Two years ago I sold off a bunch of collectibles on ebay to buy my CAS guns as well. I'm happy with what I got, just want to add some more to the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anvil Al #59168 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 What you get Al? Got me a .243 Wanted a bolt action gun. Never had one. Always been a lever man. Even before SASS. Did not want one that would hurt my shoulder if I took it to the range and shot it much in one day. Main job will be to shoot paper targets. Found one cheap enough to satisfy my itch and not hurt to much. (shoulder or pocket book) Have shot it once. GREAT little shooter. BUT. Now I need something else. Gun show tomorrow. Going to take a Springfield XD, and a M&P 1522 and try and sell. Need a back up Marlin for the wife. And I would sure like to have another SKB. Because the wife has taken over the one I bought for myself. Was going to get the wife's Marlin first. But she is not willing to sell anything she has. Like that Browning Gold Sporting Clays that she has not shot in 8 years to help get it. So if I am going to have to sell some on mine to buy. It will be replace the SKB she took from me. But going to take more than that XD and M&P to get it done. But it's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckhorn Woodie Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I got the itch to buy another gun, but don't have the cash to scratch that itch. Don't cha just hate that??? even after scratching the itch last Saturday I went in today to see the gun I ordered & do the paper work ...And I started shaking,squirming and itching real bad so I bought a 97....It helped for about an hour...but no use I am starting to itch again...I feel a long gun in 45LC coming on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 1/4 of the way through the original list of stuff I made up to sell, but I keep running across stuff to add to it when I get to digging around in closets and the garage and sheds.

DocWard Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Well... Scratched the itch... Stoeger 20 ga. Coach Gun with single trigger. Now I have my own battery, a few more things and I will have enough to get started. I'm anxiously waiting on a gun belt and then a hat. I asked for hat for my birthday, and I think Mrs. Doc will get me a Resistol straw so she can also be seen with me at a Quarter Horse show with it for now. Probably need to scratch my head and figure out what to do about a gun cart. Then back-ups. Then further develop a persona if I get really involved... Apparently it never ends. I'm guessing Cortaid won't help, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm starting my third year of playing cowboy, don't have any backups yet nor have I needed them. Don't stop me from getting the itch to buy more guns though For a hat try the goodwill, Salvation army, or other thrift stores, can find good deals there on hats that have already been "aged".

Grizzly Dave Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well dang it. A friend had told me he wanted to buy my 18 ft dovetail car hauler trailer, told him how much I thought it was worth and told him to check around to verify my price and then we could talk. He definitely wanted it. Fast forward a month and I finally corner him and ask, well now he can't afford it. I was counting on that cash to pay the rest of the tuition bill for this semester for daughter grizz. Was kinda hoping there might even be enough left to do something fun with, wonderful. Been storing it out at his place, so I guess I'll go fetch it home and get it up on Craigslist and see if I can get it sold. I hate having to sell toys to pay bills. Only way I've gotten toys the last few years is to sell other toys first. Now I'm selling toys to pay bills. This sucks. Ok, rant over, guess I'm just a bit down tonight. Now back to your regularly scheduled itch scratching. Grizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Bad Bob Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Grizzly Dave, Been there, done that. When things get really tight, the wife always asks. "So how many guns do you have anyway? Are there any you want to sell?" I hate it when she says that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Griz, Been there, done that too. I wouldn't have been able to afford the gear I am getting for CAS had it not been for getting rid of some things. Had to pay a few bills that way too. Keep your chin up!

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Grizz I went to a gun show this last weekend ,did not find anything to drag home . Priced way to high for everything , no reloading stuff to be had . Oh well that is the way it goes . I know for sure about selling toys to pay bills , it sure enough stinks to do it . I have come to relize that I can get by with less materal things as long as I can pay the bills ,and I have friends to pick me up and kick me in the right direction every now and then .
