By all means, celebrate employee theft.

And here I thought this was about fine law enforcement instead of a bunch of over paid cry babies.

Been there done that. By all means try non surgical methods first. But don’t wait for almost a year like I did. Depending on the severity and location the pain blocks will only work a short time. Simply put a severely injured disc won’t heal themselves. And the longer you wait the longer post surgic...

Observation today indicates that in 2023 the clothes pins would be empty.

Ten years old. Proving that old threads and even older levergunners never die.

A great combination of an artist ability, technical expertise and inspiration.

Once upon a time, when the visonary that started the coompany still ran it, Ruger stood for high quality and fair pricing. Now that they are run by businessmen the quality has slipped as prices have risen. In short, I gave up buying Rugers of any stripe. there are too many other gun companies that s...

Since I retired, I only have one goal. Wakeup tomorrow morning. If I do that it'll be a good day. If I don't it won't matter.

What I still don't know, in the drought wracked western states, why on earth swimming pools and watered lawns are not felonies already . . . eh? Well for one thing, the rich, who let's face it control such things, want their lawns and pools. The other is that the government has gone to great length...

Quite a bit of the tsunami panic BS is driven by the insurance industry. I live in a "tsunami risk area". But I live on top of a hill over two hundred feet above sea level. No consider the size a tsunami would have to be to impact my home. I understand that folks on the beack, or even on t...

Some years back quite a few folks were banned for not drinking the cool aid.

On top of the Hornady explosion. Firearms aren’t of any use to citizens if ammo is available. Back door gun control?

I tend to go with custom made holsters. It takes longer and costs more but it’s usually worth it.

If you do want production level, Simply Rugged has some fairly nice basket weaving and carving available.

Maybe because you learned your history in school and I learned ours. So it’s new to us.

jeepnik

Gamekeeper, do you ever watch videos by a fella who goes by The History Chap? Some pretty good info on British history.

My usual 1911 with a .45 acp AMT Backup. The wife pretty much carries her Glock 42 all the time.

Not sure if it qualifies, but I once walked around all day with an empty holster. When I got home I thought I had somehow lost the handgun. Looked high and low and finally found it in the safe where I had never taken it out.

Bill, prayeres are never wasted. I'll send them along.

So, what are the rules today on panning a stream. Is it okay, or are they just about "claimed"? Do the minerals belong to the owner of the mineral rights? What about on public lands? Here's why I asked. Some years back I used to run a metal detector over the local beaches from time to time...

In our local desert are hundreds, maybe thousands of mines. Quite a few are now cemented of bared off. But there remain a large percentage not blocked. From small diggins to rather extensive tunnels they do have an allure. I frequent them when roaming about. Other than some artifacts I have never fo...

Zombies don’t take much. But accuracy is important.

Okay there is something else out there too. Tested for Covid at Dr’s Thursday, negative. Friday feeling poorly. Saturday full blown URI. We’ll see where it goes.

Actually the ones to blame for chewed wires isn’t the mice. They just do what mice do. The ones to blame are the wire manufacturers. The manufacturers switched to plant based insulation and effectively provided a food source for mice. Now they know this and could make changes but that costs money. A...

Years ago I got a Brazilian 1917. The front sights like that don’t work for me. I put on a red ramp. Yes to some it looks out of place but it turned out to be my best sighted in fix sighted revolver. Turned out it is also surprisingly accurate. You just couldn’t tell what with trying to hold up Nd l...

Darn you Bill! Since I read this, and watched the video earlier today I have been skipping all over The History Chaps YouTube channel watching his videos. Most of the incidents he discusses I had a nodding familarity with. But he bbrings in more depth and does it in a very entertaining style. So tha...

My son and his family live on Kodiak. My middle son and family were just there visiting. We try and go at least once a year. I'd like to make another road trip up, but just the wife and I with the old Jeep. Take our time. Wouldn't mind taking an Alaska moose, but of course that's not happening on K...

Used to start my work day at 0400. Now that I’m retired I sleep in until 0500. I like early mornings when no one else is up. Coffee, something to eat and a good read.

jeepnik

Interesting. I suppose fewer folks drive now than in the fairly recent past. Perhaps some of the fuel stops just couldn’t survive.

So you can still take long guns. I had a Smith 29 and a 12 ga 870 No problems with either in the 80’s. Today I imagine handguns are forbidden.

jeepnik

Anyone drive to Alaska recently? I wonder what the road is like today. I here tell it actually paved and has things like gas stations and resturants not to mention organized campgrounds. If so one of the last great driving adventures in North America is gone.

Sadly it looks like the Reno races are finished.

It’s not always lack of respect but world events that can effect the marking of a grave. I have an older sister that’s has traced our family quite successfully. Knowing I traveled the western part of the US for fun and profit she would send me on outings to find places and people. Mt dad’s mom died ...

Alaska just seems to call to some folks. 1983 my wife and I drive my CJ-8 from L.A. I n the early 80’s it was as still an adventure. Services few and far between. You had to plan each stage. And a shortwave was a must. A CB might work but it was a gamble. Most of the way we camped but did spend a fe...

Regardless of what medical corporations have for “rules” the doctor makes all the difference. I had one that was pretty much useless. No matter the problem it was either another pill or physical therapy. For those that don’t know, all physical therapy can do is increase strength and flexibility. Unt...

Not surprised at all. Two things to consider. The plastic used for drum, particularly the tops is both very dense and much thicker than water jugs. The other is the density if water is much greater than folks think.

Looks good Jeep . . . I can get a 380 in all the jeans pockets and each boot and 1 in the holster for 49 rounds on tap. but I do need to cinch the girth a bit tighter :) If I need that many rounds I'll fall back on a quote that while probably true just grates on my nerves. "A handgun is what y...

It does fit in a jeans pocket.

Though mostly this goes in my pocket.

I’ve made something like that out of pvc for my shotguns. I have to admit the quality of that’s a lot better than mine.

Darn Ray, sounds like you faced the same problems I did before I retired. What do you do?

405 freeway just south of the 10 freeway enroute to Thousand Oaks. For those that know where that is.
We had no idea what might happen next. L.A. next?

As it's 9-11 it's time to post how a group of local university kids remember.

In my 20 for HD I load alternatingly slugs and buck. You don't need any of those fancy/expensive slugs. The good old foster slugs are more than sufficient .

I have one of those barrel devices that has various arbors for everything from .22 to .45. They work great at shorter distances, and even at longer distances on days when the light isn't bright. Over the years it's save quite a bit of ammo. It beats the heck out of looing through a barrel, if that's...

I had a similar problem on a Smith 1917. The front sight just never worked for me so I had a smith install this.

Kind of hard to see but it has a red ramp.

jeepnik

I always wondered if the sight of the bullets staring right at you was more intimidating than a semi auto.

Hmm, I’m sure others will agree, getting shot at looks nothing like that. Maybe getting shot does but so far I don’t have any experience in that

Literally down the street sits the USS Iowa. It is a marvel of marine engineering. Especially when you consider how fast it went from concept to finished vessel. But it was also far from perfect. It was modified several times to correct initial design flaws and to update it to newer technology as it...

After I made "The Perfect Jeep Gun" out of my .410 Mossberg 500 I got to thinking that something similar for my truck would be a good idea. So, already having an 18" barrel for my Franchi 48L (long story about poor ex-GI) 20 ga, I found the right size soft case and set it up for quick...

Well that just ate up many minutes. I’m amazed it ended up upright. It is surprising intact and with the sheets still visible. The cold water must prevent decay and damage from marine parasites. I found the position of the ships wheel fascinating. And in the rendering no significant hull damage is v...

I’ve had similar problems with my 39A as well as other.22 lr rifles. I tried several things but found Dawn dishwashing liquid on a chamber brush works wonders.

Heck it cleans petroleum covered birds and that stuff is waxy.
