    My Wolf is here

    I finally took delivery of my Wolf its a MB 1990 GD 250 and a pretty nice rust free example.As one of our members here stated in a previous post it is painfully slow , but feels unstoppable, so I`ll just have to learn to deal with the lack of power. I`m taking it to the shop tomorrow to see if...

    My Tundra is gone

    I have never liked my 2007 Tundra crewcab and when the local dealer offered me $27500 for it, I could`t give him the keys fast enough. Now I am seriously searching for a used MB G-550 to be my new canoe/ camera car. The G pictured has 170000 miles on it I think maybe a bit too many for me, but...

    Interesting WW2 photo

    I saw this online today and noticed the side arms were revolvers , probably S&W or Colt M-1917`s . I thought it was neat to actually see the old war horses still actually being used.

    Happy Granddaughter

    Teagan making steel targets dance. She would have stayed all day if the bugs weren`t biting! We also made use of some failed election signs. They make real good targets. I know the pistol is a Ruger , but does the S&W M&P 15-22 and the Outdoorsman make up for it? The Ruger has a Crimson trace...

    When -if I ever really do - retire I`d like to travel and do my photography off road. Do I want a trailer or slide in truck mounted camper? I have 2007 4X4 Toyota Tundra 5.6 foot bed-which I don't like , but its paid for and only has 20,000 miles on it. I envision doing the Colorado San Juan...

    rabid raccoon

    Last night on my evening dog walk I saw a Rabid Raccoon right here in the city-Winston Salem . My dogs weren't in contact with it thank God , but it was definitely a scary sight, and only 4 or 5 feet away. That poor animal was suffering badly. I had my pocket revolver with me and thought about...

    big achievement for me!

    Sunday I was able to do a 4.7 mile Strenuous hike at Hanging Rock St Park. I did the Moore`s Wall loop Trail- which is one I have never done before and really wanted to do. At my age I was doubting if it was such a good idea but I truly hate getting old and missing out on life`s finer moments...

    380 looks like a cell phone

    I saw this on the news this AM a company has a soon to be released - if they can get past the PC police- .380 pistol which has a folding handle which makes it resemble a cell phone and is about the same size. I think the company is called "Ideal Conceal". If they made it in a better caliber I...

    gunsafe problems

    My 3 year old Heritage safe has always been a bit finicky-didn`t always open on the first try- , but lately it has needed to have the combination entered 3 times before it would open, and sometimes not even then. I was really concerned that it was going to die on me and leave all my treasures...

    Radar detector /too many false alarms

    I had to drive to VA in Salisbury NC today, and my Valentine One sounded alarms almost all the way there and back. I never did see a police car and it went off in the same areas both going and coming. Have the "authorities" installed some kind of jammer device??? Has anyone else noticed this...

    Vikings sound bad

    Does anyone else have a hard time understanding what the actors say on Vikings? I wish they would just speak in a normal tone and forget the fake accents which make them un-intelligeable. Its a good show other wise, I wonder if I can make my TV show sub-titles?
