Nope, I didn't leave, someone or something changed my permissions in an area only an Administrator can touch. I'm told it's a software glitch, but I still can't access the Pit and haven't been told...

Bruce, I would say congratulations, but I don't think that word conveys what I mean. So I'll leave it at, "I'm honored to have had the opportunity to have known you a little and am proud of you and...

Sterling Hayden, not Stewart Hayden. Read up on him. He was the type of man John Waynes characters were modeled after.
Jack Palances faces looked like it did because that's the best they could do...

Kind of funny that some sources report such dismal performance from a lookalike little brother to the vaunted Lyman 358009...

I have the mould for the 38 Super Police 200 grs. I forget the number. I've read a lot f anecdotal reports on the boolit in 38 Special 38 S+W, all report superior results on live targets compared to...

We have a population that stays cool in summer and warm in winter because they don't go outside. They live inside, they work inside, they get their recreation inside- often on a computer screen. What...

Yeah, I 81 is closed from Syracuse to Watertown. My oldest boy works in Watertown. Called at 12:30PM yesterday, said the job was sending them home at 1:00PM. Said he couldn't see across the street...

Early 90's living in Long Lake NY we had -52F on our thermometer, neighbor had -54. And both these were after the sun had been up a while. Local guy said at 4AM he had -58 that day. Never got above...

5F and winds to 35 mph, windchill in the -30 range. It's absolutely miserable here in Northern NY.

Call me heartless and cruel, but they don't bother me at all. There have always been too many dogs and cats, always will be. A swift, painless death is the best answer for most and a very active,...

I know Duke hates it when I reply to his threads, so please forgive me Duke.
We have 3 Pyrs. One is a "house dog". The other 2 we got last winter off an Alpaca farm. I'd lost about 50 sheep to...

I rarely had any issue with anyone carrying a gun. Most folks with guns seem to be the solid citizen type. The druggies carried knives.

The Dietz are fine for area lighting, far better IMO than typical oil lamps. My mom had an Aladdin at one time, don't know what became of it. Aladdins are incredibly expensive to buy and maintain...

Yup, what's it do with factory? What's the muzzle look like? If some previous owner went at the bore with a bad rod or carelessly the muzzle could be worn badly. Often you can counter bore them and...

Oh, I had the gen going. Little 3500 watt Honda ran 20 hours straight before I could get the big 25Kw PTO unit out of the shed. We did 15 days without power in the 98 Ice Storm in sub zero F temps. A...

Wah! Just getting unfroze from another 3-4 days with no power. Never got my Christmas shopping done, daughters house still froze up, can't move in the fields to get hay. Fun, fun, fun. A late...
I'm a fan of lanyards, well designed ones anyway. I spent 2 days searching for my Model 19 once. You do that and you'll feel as I do.
Someone a few years back was making or showing how to make a...
Good Lord! Elmer invented the 44 Special? I would agree Lyman is less responsive to the casting market than we'd like, but the rest is nonsense. The 44 Mag is their only association with "the...
It's not the gun that determines if a standard or magnum primer is needed, it's the powder/case/bullet/boolit combo that determines it. Read your loading manuals.
