    You guys are not doing your part

    Same, but it's been over 12 years ago. Doctor said alcohol won't mix well with all the meds. Course had to test that assumption , and went home and had a nice cold one. Put me on my butt the next day. Still make a little plus p Irish cream for the holiday coffee. Also still miss "whiskey...

    Need advice for how to sue an insurance company for home hail damage

    Pretty sure the insurance companies up here rewrote their coverages recently because of the hail storms over the last several years. Would estimate over 50% of the houses in our city got new roofs. If memory serves, which is increasingly sketchy proposition, a roofing shingle layer needs to be...

    Hot day today

    We really cooled off and it barely got to 80 today after a cool night in low 60's. Supposed to be in mid to high 70's for next ten days.

    SHOCKWAVE SHOTGUNs

    Bought a shock wave cause i could and wanted to try one. Didn't buy it for target shooting or hunting, and was learned to point a shotgun not "aim" it. While i used to be fairly proficient with a pistol grip 18 in tube out to 25 yds, the shock wave is a different animal. Perhaps intended for...

    Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) trip

    Would be careful in Philly. It apparently has stricter provisions, including licensing and prohibited areas. While these may be in flux, it may indicate the local attitudes toward cc and self defense

    Anyone get a daily "news" paper delivered?

    How cool is your state's driver's license?

    Last year got notified to update my license (already had the fed requirements). They took the photo, but it was black and white, and now require you to remove your glasses. Photo looks nothing like me, and a whitened beard reflecting the flash makes me look like a freaking ghost. Unrecognizable

    Little .380 Walther is something else!

    Own an Interarms, and it is surprisingly accurate. Am using Hdy xtp's, but not for their expansion. If you look at the rear of the slide rails that can bite ya, might notice they actually look sharpened. Broke the edges on mine, while remembering to use a firm grip, like all blow backs...

    New A/C Unit

    Got lucky and replaced a 20 + yr old 12,000 btu with a brand new 15,000 btu window unit in early spring. Compared to central it's loud but cools the whole mansion down. The carefully cultivated locust forest (bumble bee sanctuary) is a significant help. The canadian smoke and heat/humidity...

    Our neighborhood was invaded by Geese!!

    back in the day, living alongside the mighty Conodoguinet , more than a couple Canadians followed the doggy food trail up into the garage. Problem was semi domesticated geese/ducks get pretty tough doing all that walking around. The inebriated inhabitants didn't seem to care much.

    Charter Arms Bulldog/44 Special...Thoughts?

    Just recently found a son of sam special, early Bridgeport model. After insuring the easily lost little washers were in place, it functioned properly. First tried it with my standard 200 gn gdhp load (bout 870 fps from 696), and it was brutal, 100 fps lower and poi way low at 25 yds. Then...
