Some one mentioned the failure of modern books to stimulate one's imagination. The reason is simple, modern writers just don't have the ability to paint a "word picture". Even musicians can't seem to do it today. Take a song like "Year of the Cat". Pay attention to the lyrics, or...

There are a number of ultrasonic cleaning solutions that aren't water based. But they do indeed remove lubrication. However, some systems advertise that they also lubricate. From time to time I do remove the grips and ultrasonically clean, then lubricate myself. Just as a side note, I have an old di...

A perfect example of why many city folks should not be allowed out of their condos. Sort of on the same track. Many years ago a reporter Coleen Williams, now an anchor, was sent out to do a story on a little girl who was almost drug off by a lion. As she stood in front of the water hole where the at...

A shootable Webley-Fosbery is my grail gun. I came close once. But the $7000 was out of reach with two kids.

I'm pretty fickle on what I carry. It might be a single action auto, double action only auto, whatever you call a glock action, a single action revolver or a double action revolver. I prefer calibers that start with four, .45 acp, .45 colt, .44 S&W magnum, .44 spl or .41 S&W magnum (no, I do...

My concealed carrier spent about a half hour eating lawn bugs the other night. We'd had a little shower during the day. He/she eats well after the rain.

Had to go out and buy tamales from the tamale guy. Needed a sweatshirt. It's a frigid 60°F. Looking forward to the spring thaw.

I wonder how many of these folks realize that people have killed folks, in their name, for not much more than minimum wage.

Yea, that evil global warning that's been causing blue northers for as long as man has lived on this continent, and likely before.

I’d have to dig out the manual that came with my Scout Squad but I think there is a warning about not plugging the vent. However, there are so many warnings it’s not hard to miss one.

You mean Jesse and Frank weren't choir boys as depicted in quite a few movies?

It's kind of amazing what you find out from old papers. My maternal grandfather was a China Sailor. We knew that but didn't know he was decorated there. We thought he just went to Pearl after that, but as it turned out he ended up in Nicaragua during the 1928 banana war. Turned out sailors had books...

Looks like the rescue boat school at Cape Disappointment, Washington. Those boats are designed to roll over and self right. Then just keep on going. We’ve got at least one stationed here. Pretty impressive boats.

I question the wisdom of calling any weapon an “assault” type. Better to call them all self defense weapons. agree with this. I have food harvest tools that can provide self-defense if necessary . . . my weapons tend toward the edged variety I still keep up with Kali. Even for a somewhat gimpy old ...

It also says factory ammo only somewhere. It’s all lawyers.

So, Colt said it’s okay to load six. The United States Army said it’s okay. But the current “wisdom” is it’s not okay. Sort of reminds me of the old saying “if you tell a lie long enough and loud enough it becomes the truth”. Even Colt changed their minds over 50 years ago on this subject .1972 man...

I was flipping channels and found a show on bear. In one segment the narrator is talking about a woman that has studied brown bears and knows many on site. She considers them friends and claims to have never had a moment when she felt endangered. As the fool was blathering on and the video was of th...

But, the original manufacturer of the Colt SAA didn’t say that.

Perhaps because folks who knew how to use them carried them with six.

One of the great things about being an armed civilian is the freedom of choice I have in the handguns I carry. I actually feel sorry for law enforcement as they are required to carry less effective handguns based solely on the determination of lawyers.

Remember, company lawyers have to protect the company from suits resulting not just from accidents but manufactured accidents. Note, not manufacturing accidents but those created for the purpose of filing suits.

I'm surprised the decendants of the ships owners haven't sued the US government wanting reparations.

I’m no historian. But I would imagine that any soldier facing an enemy loaded all six chambers. I suspect a law enforcement official facing possible multiple miscreants would as well. Perhaps a working cowboy or recreational outdoorsman might feel comfortable loading down a revolver cylinder. From p...

Sorry, but one quote pretty much explains the entire situation. That being the one about the “anticipated” powder shortage. Manufacturers have been using anticipated shortages to create shortages for decades. Then they raise prices which never return to pre-anticipated levels. Remember the run on pa...

So my takeaway is that he wasn’t using military grade munitions and the manufacturer got it wrong. All of us who reload understand the importance of proper loading procedures. Apparently rhe manufacturer didn’t fire the hundreds of rounds munitions manufacturers do before allowing a human anywhere n...

Adequate first aid kits (actually good ones go well beyond “first aid”) are a must. Training to use the stuff inside is a must. But even more important are two things. The mindset to use the kit and acceptance that you can’t save everyone. The last is a really hard lesson to learn.

age wise the oldest person I talk to regularly is my aunt. She's 100 years old, and still drives. In fact when she and her 80 year old daughter go out, my aunt drives. The oldest in terms of when born I've ever talked to would be my maternal grandmother. Born in 1894 but she passed in 1968.

Docs got good words of wisdom. Whether you can really do any good in a bad situation comes down to individual willingness to do what’s needed. First aid is messy. Back when it was CPR it wasn’t uncommon (you’ll never see this in TV) for air to get into the stomach and result in regurgitation. The ai...

My background is a bit different than most. While enlisted I started taking EMT classes at a local college. The USAF didn’t have paramedics yet (still a very new concept and the medics were trained mostly for hospital and clinic duty. The hospital commander thought it was a great idea and gave mysel...

Since he already has violated his oath of office repeatedly he would likely continue regardless of what office he holds. How has he violated his oath? He has not only failed to uphold the Constitution of the US, but also of California. Examples are rampant but the easiest to see is his taking action...

Nath faces many of the same problems we face with coyotes. They breed fast, are very destructive and have somehow garnered the support of ignorant urbanites. Here, it isn’t until one looses a pet or even child that many keep their Disneyesque views of wildlife. Even with these losses some never learn.

If one considers that without French aid the colonies would have remained under Crown rule, failing to ally themselves to France, regardless of how meager that help would have been showed great lack of gratitude. The French were more than justified. As to the British, a few short years later we woul...

The past few weeks I've noticed a lot more fox activity here, seems like as soon as the sun goes down they are out and barking which drives Parker nuts!

Nath, doesn't matter what side of the pond, predatory canines wreak havoc on cattle, sheep, goats and other domesticated critters. If we don't control their numbers they can cost folks a fair bit of their livelyhood.

Wild dogs are no joke. Often they have no fear of humans. They seem to kill sometimes just for sport and in doing so destroy the balance. I've hunted them up in the San Jaoquin Valley. They are very destructive to cattle and sheep, especially during calving and lambing. I stopped a little over ten y...

Just another spoiled and entitled waste.

Even in my suburban area coyote numbers have blossomed in recent years. There is no hunting allowed and all efforts to control their population by the government are fought by sierra club types. Mostly we see young individuals, mated pairs or family groups. Since we have no large prey animals they d...

My uncle introduced me to binoculars. A fairly inexpensive pair (hey I was twelve) for my birthday. It opened an entirely new world. Over the years I upgraded and currently a number of pairs. My all around use are Stiener Military/Marine. My favorite are a pair of Zeiss 10x42's. A few years ago I di...

Prayers up. I sat through the same long day, with my sister, when her husband had a heart transplant.

After the healing was done he walked the AP trail. Now 12 years later he is still going strong. Have faith in God’s to guide the surgeon’s hands.

I must admit this is the first time I've heard of this. I wonder if any of the gas that fueled my dad's Shermans was delivered by PLUO.
