I have a friend who very year plants trees on his property. Stoop labor. There is a large cat around and he would be a perfect target being arse up while he works. I got him a pair of Boxer shorts with a happy face on the back. Funny as all get out but his six is covered by a watchful face. In...

I used to use Chivas Regal bags for my smaller handguns.

I was there when I believe they had the B17 parked under the Goose. I was having trouble grasping the scale of it until I realized that the tiny plane underneath was that B17. Great museum.

I recently had a friend die from an untreated hernia. It had strangulated and got septic. Good that you are being proactive about the condition. Had two hernias repaired, the first was pretty painful but the second one did not really bother me at all. Perhaps I had learned how to move. Post...

Just one small addition - pex seems to expand when hot water is run through the line and if it secured to the wall too snugly it will make some noise.

"His 1899 FNH Browning that he was known to keep with him at all times after McKinley was assassinated. 'They got McKinley, they won't get me' was his reply to those that suggested he not carry." I read somewhere, that the women sitting behind TR in church were horrified to see that he carried...

Terrible review alert, but this book about a young boy coming of age in Milan during WW2 has an emotional depth seldom found. The boy, Pino, becomes the driver for Nazi General Leyers, Potentate for Hitler in Italy, and is a witness to much of the war in Northern Italy. Because he so well placed...

I had an older friend who's wife became very good friends with his first love and insisted on driving several hundred miles each year to visit her. His wife laughed when I asked her about the visits and explained that the first love did not ripen well and she was a horrible cook and housekeeper...

I had a Smith 1917 when I was at college and had a very close call. One evening a group of guys were in my room and were talking about guns. One asked to see my revolver. What I did not know was that he had a recent breakup with his girl and was suicidal. After I had unloaded, he had secreted...
