Found it! Posting from Gather now

In May 2018 I discovered that Virginia is for speed traps. It was 1 in the morning, driving from Michigan back home to my place in Winston Salem. Only one other car, coming up in the left lane with his brights on, and we were on a long downhill. I looked down at the speedometer and realized that...

Welcome. I picked up a Bodyguard a couple months ago. Haven't had any issues with it at all; has taken any ammo I used so far including reloads. Over 200 rounds through it. My granddaughter really likes it. Trigger is much different from my 9mm Shield; the Shield feels really light when I...

At age 48 was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I couldn't stand the C-PAP so opted for UPP surgery. Tonsils, adenoids, and uvula along with excess throat tissue, some soft palate and some tongue removed. The morning after surgery they brought breakfast before I was released. Scrambled eggs AND...

I sold that car and bought a 2013 - decided to try another V6 and turbo this one. That didn't work out as well, blew it up 3 times. Quickest and only pass I ever made on it when it was running was 12.2 - and then blew the exhaust system off the car going through the traps so was done for the day...

Had a 2006 Mustang Pony convertible - 4.0 V6 that I put the Xcharger Xtreme supercharger on. Car ran 12.6 at 110 mph.

I just settled an estate and it had a time share; I used to think that the worst thing you could die owning was an annuity. This changed my mind - timeshares are the worst thing to deal with. The company was basically non-responsive except for when they tried to collect the maintenance fee. I...

Several years ago my wife said one morning "do you know that you stop breathing at night?" My first wife never mentioned it. I thought feeling tired during the day was normal. And being able to fall asleep within in minutes was normal. So I went in for testing and the sleep study. I woke up...

No problems with my Bodyguard either. About 250 rounds through it. Only issue I have is the safety. It is very tough to move both on and off. Comes off easier. I have field stripped and cleaned it a couple times, and tried an extra drop of oil on the safety. Nowhere near as easy as the safety...

We bought a place in Winston Salem NC. Much to our surprise, panhandlers there are apparently "licensed" by the city. We noticed ID badges on the guys standing on the corners. Unlicensed ones just troll the parking lots. I Guess if we hand a dollar to one of the licensed guys it actually goes...

The original 007 martini is equal parts gin and vodka, with a hint of vermouth, shaken. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

My favorite. I was introduced to it by the Michigan Bourbon Club when I won a bottle. Have one at home now too from a barrel pick for the club "Brotherhood of the Barrel". Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I seem to be consistently low left with my Shield 9mm too at 5 yds, 7 yds. I just added the Hogue HandAll grip but haven't been back to the range to see if it helps; the gun feels more comfortable though (and what a bear getting that on, finally had to boil some water and drop the grip in to...

That track is a little better for us. We bought a place in Winston Salem so have been concerned if it will be there when we come down from Michigan at the end of the month. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
