I sat on a jury once where the "star" witness was an elderly southern lady. Two fellas were charged with robbing a ministers home. When the defense attorney tried to discredit her, she had all the right answers about her vision and lighting (in was dark when the robbery took place). The cl...

AJMD has that one right. But as to girlfriends, I haven't had that problem for 38 years. I think I'll keep this one, she's all broken in.

Last night I was driving out to the farm where I was going deer hunting in the morning. I came around a corner and noticed a large bright light in the sky. At first I thought it must be a plane, but as I got a better look it just didn't look "right". I'm out in the middle of nowhere, so I...

Nose art is one reason I like the P-40's. They started the tradition with the shark's teeth. Not quite, while popularized during WWII, after all we had one heck of a lot more airplaines, nose art was seen on some WWI aircraft. By the way, the P-40 is my favorite WWII airplane as well. While the nos...

While I haven't had to use any warranty or repair services from Springfield, I have had one really good experience with their "tech" support. Shortly after I got my Scout, it began to have some FTF's. It was kind of strange, because it didn't start until several hundred rounds had been fir...

That's very good news sir. Best of luck to both of you, and have a very, very merry Christmas. It has indeed come early for you and your's.

I would suggest you take thee to a doctor. Darned good possiblility of infection there.

managing what? in florida most of the deer herds on public land are out of balance and the bucks no matter how old....have small racks.... Most are wacked in the first year or two....spikes or spindly racks Most of the public land is, or use to to be a tree farm... managed for trees and not game......

Here's an old friend that ended up as a "plane on a stick". That is till they closed the air base. Last I saw, it was still sitting in the dirt at the end of the ramp. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Jeepnik/SadPhantom.jpg The Phantom was the hottest thing going at one time. Sad to ...

Way too much money. You could build just as good yourself for less. One of the great things about old CJ's and FJ's is that you can do anything that needs doing all by yourself. I'll stick with my CJ-8. Well over 200,000 miles and still able to go places that the fancy new TJ's and Land Cruisers wil...

Not PURE hogwash; but yes, one must remember that marketing types ARE the original spin-doctors ! For almost 20 years the spousal unit was a cost accountant at a Southern California refinery. While they were primarily an asphalt refiner, they still produced sizable quantities of gas & diesel. A...

When I originally saw them on the net, I quickly emailed NAA asking if they would be available in California. Well, the answer was "no". Maybe if they go into regular production, but not the limited addition ones. So, let us know how it works out. I sure hope this becomes a regular item.

I am sharpening challanged. But some years ago, I picked up a Spyderco Sharpemaker. I got it mostly for the serrated edge models, but found out I could finally get a good edge on things. You might give it a look.

Up here, in Northern California, regular ranges from $2.97 to $3.23, depending on where you buy. The "BIGGIES" like Shell, 76, and Chevron are the highest and the little guys, whose fuel is exactly the same as the others, sell for the least. Locally, the gasoline all comes from the same s...

Does anyone make leaded gasoling anymore? I remember the refinery I worked at stopped somtime in the '70s or early '80s.

Happy Thanksgiving. May God bless you and yours.

Arco has the lowest price per gallon running around $2.90 to $3.00. But, you have to pay cash. They don't accept credit cards, and they charge to use a debit card. If you fill up at Arco, fill up, don't top off. Otherwise, the cheapest I find is about $3.10. This is at "off brand" stations...

Welcome to the camp. .375 is a good round. Should do just about anything you ask of it. Shotin' for 25 years, you should have lots of stories to tell, so spin a few tales to the delight of all.

As you have painfully learned, Jeep doors are pretty easy to steal. There are "locks" that can be attached to prevent or at least make more difficult theft. As to the TJ vs the YY, you made a good choice. As an old CJ guy, I can tell you that the coil spring suspension (I'm gonna catch it ...

I just noticed they did not list shotguns ammo

Very little use of shotguns, if any, for anything other than guarding prisoners. The US, England, France, Germany and Italy are all signatories of the Hague Accord, which prohibits the use in combat.

Personally, I never liked the feel of the Standard. I like a heavier barrel, so I went the the MKI Target with the 6 7/8" barrel. Adjustable sights are nice as well. But the eyes don't like iron sights anymore so. Meet my Bunny Killer. http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Jeepnik/GUNS/HANDGUN...

What bothers me the most is that in California, the murderers will probably be back on the street in less than a year total time from arrest to freedom. Murder of anyone is just plain wrong. Well, the "less than a year" is a considerable understatement. If arrested and convicted, they wil...

Some of you guys are making me feel old. You're saying things like; my eyes aren't as good as they used to be so I won't buy this or that lever gun cos I can't easily scope it.

Used to be you could buy a "kit" that had everything you needed to get started except cases, powder, primer and bullets. They generally had a single stage press and you'd get one set of dies. I'd look around and see if anyone still sells them. They usually aren't that expensive, and it mig...
