  1. Past hour
  2. A few years back, we took a driving trip to Sonora Caverns. At the hotel breakfast, we invited a fella sitting solo to join us. He introduced himself as Rod Johnson, said he was a driller. My wife giggled. Turns out, he is a PhD from Kerrville and explained to us how the Marfa Lights work. He lives in Kerrville, and I do hope that he and his are both OK after that flood.
  3. Well unless you are shooting a multi day match then you only need one shirt with a pocket. I have also put the watch in a watch pocket in my pants and had the chain show over my gun belt BUT there is no way to get it out and look at the time when you do that.
  4. I have puzzled over why the days after the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere are hotter than the equidistant days prior to the solstice. Here in CA, July 21 is far hotter than May 21. I figure there is some gov't grant somewhere to figure this out. The distance from sun and the elliptical orbit path, the tilt angle must all factor in to the total solar radiation received on any given day. I understand the Northern hemisphere is more temperate than the Southern hemisphere, which receives hotter summers and colder winters.
  5. I will do that! I have several 1911's, which I intend to keep, but the idea of a double stack 9 mm on the 1911 platform is intriguing.
  6. That would be great, but unfortunately my shirts don’t have pockets. I might need to buy some
  7. Something that has astounded me all through this thread is the many repetitions of the term "white gravy". Never heard that before. That stuff is milk gravy.
  8. Today
  9. Hotter than a 2 dollar pistol
  10. Notice that I said Dress Uniform. I suppose you went into action wearing
  11. Current airforce logo I think
  12. So I started getting the Marlin jam on my 1982 gold trigger Marlin 1894 in 357. Required me having to remove the tube spring to get cartridges out to relieve pressure then punching out with a cleaning rod. Was jamming good. Went down hard last match . Ended up missing two stages and calling it a day. Saw a post in classifieds from jackrabbit Joe regarding carrier fixes. Now the carrier I sent him was stock and it's a little different than the newer ones. I also have the long spring ejector. After a little bit back and forth and some issues, with the factory carrier, I purchased one of the widdermatic carriers he has and it feeds everything now with zero issues Just wanted to send a big thanks out. Those widdermatic carriers work great and solved my problems.
  13. I normally wear a vest and the watch goes in one upper left pocket and the chain looped over and through one of the button holes. Then when actually shooting I shorten the exposed looped chain by putting more of it in the pocket so as not to snag it while pulling shotgun shells. The few times I don’t wear a vest I do the same thing with my shirt pocket.
  14. It can also go from a buttonhole to a shirt pocket, which is clear of the gunbelt. Shirt pocket might need a flap and or button.
  15. I would think it would be ok if at least the chain was visible? Hopefully the gun belt doesn’t block it. I’m just unsure because I’m fairly new. A ruling would be great!
  16. Well, the Handbook says, "pocket watch with full length chain." It does not say how it is to be worn, or where. I don't see why it would be a problem, according to a literal reading of the rules. Perhaps we can ask for a ruling?
  17. Okay, I'm an old softy, and this has been working on me for some time. This is what was on the memory stick the Sheriff handed his Chief Deputy. Yes there's a story behind the story but it involves family so 'nuff said.
