Re: Thanks Boge!
Tells you a whole bunch about the character of some real men. Despite the fact that Terry didn't have much use for idiots and jerks, he was apparently one of the best. The fact that being given that dream gun brought him to tears, and he was not too proud to show it, tells a lot of good about him.

Problem is that those Lubber Grasshoppers are poisonous. You can't cook them and eat them. It only takes 4 of them to eas as much in a day as a full grown cow.

Those huge Cicada killers are pretty mellow. I have never seen an aggressive one. They walk softly and carry a big stinger. I don't mess with them, and they are happy to go about their business.

Re: Rifle safeties; how "safe"??
Remington 700 is cock on opening, I think. For storage of an empty rifle, I pull the trigger and cautiously lower the bolt. Does the Rem 700 firing pin protrude on doing this? I haven't done it on a live round. I am guessing that it probably does protrude under a little spring tension.

Lt Bunny Rabbit Buennemeyer would place his compass on his 1911 for stability. He was always lost. He was also the one who was talked into adding canopy lights to his parachute. We also convinced him to requisition combat grade acetate to overlay his map. Gullible was not a strong enough word for him.
