We used to use tracfone but got tired of having to keep up with refilling the account before the card expired so that we wouldn't lose our minutes. We've switched to a prepaid service now named...

I have a copy of the 2 cavity Lee .454 round ball mold that I use in a Pietta 1858 Remington. Like all of the other Lee molds that I own it works like a champ. While getting yours ready to use, just...

We've been married 31 years now, and for the last 10 or 15 years mine has told me that if I hurt myself doing one of my "seemed like the thing to do at the time" stunts that resulted in bodily damage...

It sure sounds like you're doing great so far! Like has been mentioned by so many already, for me it was be careful to not over do anything, and walking helps speed recovery. (But watch where you...

You sound like a kindred soul! :grin: Why buy something for $15 when it can be cooked up at home for $3 or $4..... and 10 or 15 hours time??? :bigsmyl2:
