      HAVE YOU EVER?

      Shiloh Sharps. I had a Navy Arms replica for a little while, and seldom shot it. In reality a "real" Sharps would be a safe queen, but every time I see one, I think I should own it, especially with long range sights. I was pretty lucky and got my main responsibilities done by 38, so I was...

      Old white men

      Man, you were quick with that one! I got married to someone else, so your statement is true, in fact I have not had a date in a long time <grin>

      Old white men

      ...and yet they had so much wisdom. I know that a lot of the rights had been developed over the centuries, and spelled out in documents like the Magna Carta, but it is very seldom that I meet a young man with that kind of wisdom. From that matter, it is very seldom I meet an old retired...

      Old white men

      There definitely are some people who live right that are not active in a Christian Church. Years ago, I dated a very clean living, kind, loving woman that was an Atheist. Not against God, just did not believe. Very rare. Here is a comment by a founding Father: John Adams said, “Our...

      Ammo Registration at Indy Arms in BR?

      Back about 1975 or 1980, I think all shops did that bound book entry. I was living in Illinois at the time and I thought it was because I was from out of state, even though I had a valid FOID from Illinois. Seemed like a lot of bother for a 79 cent box of .22 wildcats

      Ammo Registration at Indy Arms in BR?

      That is what Dick's used to do. I showed my ID st Dicks to buy a couple of flats of shot shells. The clerk started populating a digital form. I demanded she stop and get a manager. I believe they were "registering" me. After some tense words he agreed this grey bearded man was over 21 and...

      A rare aviation sighting!

      They have a B52 in the Wright Patterson Air museum in the building. There is something amazing when you walk under the 185 foot wingspan, see the mass of the thing and realize that it can fly over 600 MPH. It is pretty pricey, but the EAA gives sky rides in their B17. one of those one in a...

      Let’s talk gas grills.

      I have a Weber that is 10 plus years old. Cast iron grates, Porcelain hood. It is the smaller 3 burner model. We use it pretty much all summer and some in the winter also. I put new burners in it this spring even though the old ones worked but were burning uneven. $35 on Amazon. It was...

      NIPSCO and their GREEN ENERGY CRAP

      They are nuts. I also pay more for service fee than for gas most of the year. I am with Center Point energy. All that insulation and other upgrades and I still pay more, but they tell us we age getting a real bargain on the gas we use.

      Weed Killers - What's The Strongest/Most Effective?

      The neighbor man would burn thistles with a torch. He would re torch them every time it looked like they were trying to come back. the next year they were gone. He was a Polish immigrant who grew a lot of food using all natural methods. I asked him about weed killer, and he basically...

      I just luv gubmint

      I pay the morning after the tax bill come in the mail. The assessors and treasurers offices are empty and the clerks look startled to see anyone coming through the door.

      I just luv gubmint

      Our insurance went up 40%, and we have never had a claim of any type. My insurance guy sells several brands and what I had was still the cheapest. I talked to other brand offices, and they were still more. One salesman explained that I am not insuring a $250K house anymore, I am insuring a...

      I just luv gubmint

      Last April my property tax went up a lot and I asked that the assessment be reviewed. As of last year we are both over 65. An occasional drainage district fee is not applicable this year. It really worked! My taxes went down! Six whole dollars. To celebrate, I stopped by Dairy Queen and...

      Not candybars.

      I spent a summer working for a drywall firm in the 70's. It was pretty often another tradesman on a job would ask for one of our empty mud buckets for a bio break. Everyone carried paper in their trucks. They were metal buckets back then. The tradesmen might leave scrap from their work all...
