Didn't we do this a while ago?  Oh well, I have never had a problem chewin' my cabbage twice. 
In '74 I was into Motocross and wound up getting my left leg broken out sideways at the knee. Yep, bones stickin' out and blood everywhere. Docs said I was too young for a replacement so they bolted me back together as best they could. I was in a cast from the tips of my toes to my hind end for 5 1/2 months
20 years later I got a total new knee replacement with a bone graft to the tibial plateau. Didn't take care of it plus they botched the surgery so I had to get it redone in '98.
I've had to learn how to walk 3 more times than most of you. After my '98 surgery I was out walking on the track in the park behind my house and when I was done I was walking home. My BIL had come over while I was out and was standing in the driveway when I came walking up the sidewalk. 50 or 60 feet away he yells out "here comes Walkin' Jack. It kind of stuck with me.

Shooting Padre; Well, I guess that's sort of obvious, but then again I miss the obvious quite often. I'm a pastor that shoots. Not too much on imagination but it is to the point.

Too bad for us that we had run into an elderly nutcase waitress who wanted us to do things her way rather than our way.
I was baffled by the nutcase waitress's strange behavior but my dear wife thought it best to appease the waitress by doing things her way rather than ours. My dear tired wife felt that to do otherwise would embarrass us.  It was the strangest, damnedest, funniest experience I'd ever had in any restaurant before or since.
Later, I related the bizarre experience to my kids and their spouses. We all had a giant laugh over it. Once my wife was fresh again and thinking straight, she saw the insane humor in it too. In time, it became a family "battle cry" of sorts... brought up at every meal we have ever eaten together since as a family in an Italian restaurant. 
If anyone ever guesses the phrase, I will tell the rest of the crazy story. There is more to it, but I better stop here while I'm ahead. |

The one word that was guessed right was "the"! Obviously it was one of the two T's. But which one...
I will give you one last hint: It was the phrase that the elderly nutcase waitress lady kept beating into us over and over again.

Mine is self explanatory.
I'm a practitioner of the side handle baton & carry it every day. No spindly alloy buggy whips for me! It's good for 'public relations' for those who don't hear so good.

Spent most of my working life as a pipefitter/welder traveling around the country working. People in the towns we went into called us roadtrash because of this. At first it was an insult but after a while we all came to embrace the name and in fact be proud of it.

Do I really need to?
I really could not think of another one at the time... I will probably have to change it to something more generic...
(planning on acquiring a rifle or shotgun within a year or sooner if things get worse...)

I started visiting the forum several years ago, and the night I decided to join I figured I was the new guy. I tried that and it was taken so I tried Nuguy and it took.

College nickname.
The Big D was my college nickname. When Maryland MVA announced in the early 1970's that personalized plates would be available, my pal and I drove to Glen Burnie MVA to be first in line for our choices. (Only one MVA office in the whole state then.)
No one had claimed 'BIG D' so I got it...after successfully auditioning. (Could not include 'The'; too many characters for the plates.)
Still have the plates; you will see a new photo in the foreseeable future.
Be safe.

I can believe it.I used to collect WWI and WWII German Militaria--and I had one that is like yours--but ws marked to the first Gebirgsjager Division. I used to collect items related to that Mountain infantry Division.Now--all I have are a few pair of officers shouderboards with regiments--ninety-eight, ninetynine and one hundred cyphers on them. Oh and,a grouping of original photos taken by the commanding officer of the seventy-ninth Gebirgs Artillery Regiment--which was the Artillery regiment that was in the first GJ division. I also have ooops--sorry I got off on a rant about the first Div.
Anyway,I used to have that item but--was too big to keep in the collection--so sold it off about five years ago.Each trooper was issued with two of these.

It's pretty easy to figure out, but, of course, there's a story.
Right now I have an 8 3/8s barrel Model 57, and a Model 57-5 Mountain Gun.
The long barreled one I mostly hunt deer with - I've owned this gun since new back in 1980. It has a Leupold 2X scope in a TSOB mount put on by Mag-Na-Port. They also numbered the cylinders for me and added a third locking detent in the yoke, so I have "triple lock" as well as porting the barrel with their famous process. Very accurate, I usually try to shoot at 100 yards. Some ranges won't allow a handgun on their rifle range, so I have to shoot at 50 yards.
I was forced to sell a Model 57-1 6" that I had taken apart and smoothed out the trigger an polished the grooves off the trigger, and a Model 57 4" that had been Mag-Na-Ported.
I recently added the Mountain Gun and think I'm in the right spot now.

J S Bach dedicated all works, both secular and sacred, with this inscription. And he was a Lutheran of Lutherans, in fact lived near Luther"s home for a time. So..you were so close and yet so far on your attribution of my quote  I'm glad you like it anyway.
Bach said many things I like to quote.

Mechanical engineer for 35 years and still attempting to shoot Bullseye matches with a 1911.
Retired from engineering in 2008 with a push from Obama, and may be time to quit shooting Bullseye 'cause the scores keep going down. Cloudy vision maybe a factor.

When I first got online, many years ago, on a local Richmond board, I needed a name but couldn't think of anything. I glanced out the back door and saw my Cajun bass boat in the driveway.
And
CajunBass was born. I use it on every board I post on.
The boat is long gone, but the name remains.

To engineer1911: cloudy vision usually can be corrected. It might be cataracts, or it might be an inherited rare but not unheard of condition such as what I had called Fuch's Dystrophy. I was suffering increasingly cloudy vision, had already gone through two cataract surgeries, and corrective lenses couldn't help. I was finally diagnosed with Fuch's and for years was told nothing could be done about it. I worried that my vision was getting bad enough that I might lose my right to drive. But I then found out a new surgery had been developed about 15 years ago (only about 10 years at the time I found out) and now I am free of Fuch's. My aging eyes are still not that great for accurate shooting, but are infinitely better since the surgery (partial corneal transplants). If you haven't already, see an ophthalmologist, and you might want to ask him/her specifically to screen you for Fuch's Dystrophy.

Glad to hear your surgery has helped you. I get my first transplant in two days. If all goes well the other eye soon.
