  1. Past hour
  2. Never the person who committed the crime.
  3. I just purchased a hat from a Pard here on the wire. He mailed it immediately and tracking said I'd get it on the 21st. It sat in Birmingham for a couple days and got to the next to last dist center in NH on the 23rd. Sat there until yesterday the 28th and was delivered! So much for Priority. I called my Postmaster to check on it Monday and she said they were likely waiting to fill a cage before sending forward!?! Funny thing was that had 2 other packages arrive in NH on the 24th and they were both delivered on the 25th. But my Priority package, noooo, we're gonna just leave it here for a couple more days.
  4. That's a fact! I'm feel pretty fortunate to be able to learn from TW, Randy, Reno Mustang, Dodge City Dixie, and so many others at Wartrace.
  5. There's the problem I didn't take anything for hiccups.
  6. There is a local farm stand that sells a huge variety of hot sauces. The top shelf of the cabinet has R-rated names and labels. And a curtain.
  7. All the Henry X's I've tried off-the-shelf have been pretty smooth and well-balanced and seemingly well thought out and put together rifles. The sights while a departure from standard lever action open irons are quite excellent for this gun. Just one of the reasons I like it. And yes, Pat... handloading. Because you need another retirement hobby.
  8. Since the Air Craft was still onna taxiway, would make much more sense to put the round thru the PILOT. Dead pilots don't fly airplanes.
  9. There are other things that are relevant and need to be taken into consideration: wind speed and wind direction current speed and direction tides The bridge was completed in 1977, long before ships like the Dali were built. So engineers never considered what a 95,000+ ton ship hitting a structural support would do or what, if anything, could be done to prevent a collapse.
  10. Perhaps when I joined the Navy they had rid themselves of the term “shell”. I do recall a gunnery instructor giving us a stern lecture on terminology. The words “bullet, shell, slug” and a couple of others regarding what the “guns” fired were forbidden under penalty of a stern talking to and shaming. (Guns is in quotations because guns are mounted to the ship. Small arms were not “guns”)
  11. Today
  12. I agree regarding the “tactical garbage”. I was hoping to see the new Ruger Marlin “Black series” (I think that’s what they call it) but after handling the Henry and feeling how smooth it is to operate I knew I would end up with a Henry anyway. No, my heaviest reloads are with 255 grain bullets. I never considered anything above 255. Great! A reloading ear worm. Thanks a lot Dantankerous!
  13. We must blame something that can't vote! Second City Cop: The End Game Revealed
  14. Several years ago I ordered some stuff from Midway. I was visiting my daughter in Atlanta. And I tracked this every day, because she lived in an apartment and I wasn't sure how they handled packages there. We shall say that it was due to arrive on the 8th. Because I don't recall the exact date. On the 5th the tracking said it was in Atlanta post office, and I was happy because I thought that meant I would get it 3 days earlier than I expected. On the 6th tracking said it was in Athens post office. On the 7th it was still in the Athens post office. But on the 8th it came back to Atlanta, and was delivered on the estimated day of arrival. Apparently it was against the rules to deliver it 3 days early.
  15. True for some peppers, the seeds and pulp have most of the heat. Red peppers are generally ripe, so the seeds should be usable if the pepper is nor a hybrid. there are exceptions. for the sauce you can bet the hottest part of the pepper was used.
  16. You cowpokes are making me feel like a winner this year! From Radium Springs NM to delivered on Wednesday without a hiccup!
  17. The director said to park your car crosswise in front of the plane, blocking its access to the runway, and then advance toward the plane with your pistol out. I thought that was kind of dumb but I was neither the director nor the screenwriter.
  18. Anyone have one laying around? Went to Cimarron's site and they are $2.50 each. But they won't say what shipping will be. So I'm asking here... Thanks, Buzzard
  19. If they did it in reality, I can see some of these reasons put forth here being correct. But did they do it in reality? Or did they just do it in the movies and on TV? Every cop show out there, there will be a scene where the plain clothes cops will see the person they're after, and from 30 to 50 feet away they will call his name and flash their badge, which always causes him to turn and run the other way, and he has a 30 to 50 foot head start. That's television. We have the exciting chase. But I can't help but think that in real life, the plain clothes cops would wait until they were standing next to their suspect, and they would grab him by the arm and show their badge, and that way he would not be able to run away. That just makes way too much more sense. But that would be reality, not television. As far back as I can remember, which would be the very early 60s, the drivers always got in the driver's side. I never ever saw anyone, in reality, get in the passenger side and slide across the seat. My truck has a bench seat. And a couple times I have slid across the seat. Generally because some moron has parked next to me so close that I cannot open the driver's door. Unless you keep the seat completely clean - as in no maps, no winter coats, no CD cases or cassette boxes - it's very difficult to slide across the seat. And then we have the transmission hump in the middle of the thing that you got to clear with your feet. As a kid, the parental units would shove us in one door and we would have to slide across the seat to make room for the other siblings. But that made it easier on them - all the kids were on the same side of the car. By the time we were in double digits of age, if we were going to sit on the left side of the seat we went in the left door. Sliding was just foolish.
