Lovable broacaster, actor, comedian and ML ballplayer Bob Uecker has passed away at 90. Homered off Sandy Koufax, said he was afraid it would keep Sandy out of the H.O.F. R.I.P.

This old hand cannon has kind of piqued my interest. Parts, magazines, springs, holsters seem impossible to find. Still if a nice one came around at a good price I might be tempted as I have a world of 45 acp. stashed. Any comments and what would you pay for a decent one with two magazines?

Yep, we went to #1 Texas' playpen and beat them pretty convincingly. Really strange game with touchdowns that weren't touchdowns, penalty reversals, fans throwing stuff on the field and more turnovers than I'm used to seeing. No matter, Go Dawgs!!!

My local fun store has a pretty decent old M&P 38 spec. It's got some minor surface rust, the bluing looks about 90%. The bore shines like a new quarter and there's absolutely no play in the cylinder. Looks like a sock drawer gun to me. I'm more into 60s and 70's revolvers but this one is the...

On July 5, 1954 a young Memphian by way of Tupelo, MS recorded "That's Allright Mama," for Sam Phillips at Sun Records in Memphis. A few days later a DJ named Dewey Phillips played the single over and over again, Elvis Presley was fixing to become the biggest star the world had ever seen.

I've been a dog person all my life, never had a cat. I usually wind up with a pooch in need of help, the last one was thrown out of a car. Never had a better dog. Well this cat, who seemed to have gotten the worst of a fight, has been at our door for about a week and Mrs. Sheepdawg started...

From Our Gang, Treasure of Sierra Madre, In Cold Blood, Electroglide in Blue, Baretta to murder suspect, Robert Blake led a hell of a life. Dead at 89.

Damn I'm aging quick this week. Former HOF announcer and MLB catcher for the Cardinals, Phillies, Expos and Red Sox Tim McCarver has passed away of heart failure at 81. He was pretty much the personal catcher for HOF pitchers Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton. He once said he intended to be buried...

We did it!!!! What a game.

Kirstie Alley has passed away at 71 after a short battle with cancer. Loved her in Cheers. R.I.P.

Jerry Lee Lewis has passed away at his home in Nesbit, Mississippi at the age of 87. The last of the Sun Records Million Dollar quartet led a wild life. He was poised to be the next rock superstar when Elvis went in the Army but his career came apart when it was discovered he married his 13 year...

Boston Celtics great Bill Russell has passed away at 88. 13 Championship rings,the only player I remember that could handle Wilt Chamberlain. R.I.P.

Sure haven't heard much about the new S&W CSX lately. Not anything like when it was introduced. Are they still flying off the shelves or has the thrill died? Got to be honest, I really wanted one but complaints about the trigger have calmed the itch.

Took my carry guns to the range today for a little workout and chance to breath. I usually carry a 1.0 Shield or a model 12-2 revolver and both shot admirably but my third carry is a 1987 CZ82 that I bought years ago for around $200. This little pistol never ceases to amaze me, accurate...

If you missed this one you missed the finish of the century. Alabama made mistake after mistake, dropped snaps and passes. Auburn had em' till about 30 seconds left then Alabama scored a TD by miracle. 4 overtimes. Alabama 24, Auburn 22. What a game. Now Alabama gets Georgia where they won't...

And it was the Kennedys that asked for it. Would they have gone to bat for Lee Harvey Oswald if not for Jack Ruby. Far as I'm concerned the last thing he should have heard were the cyanide pellets hitting the acid

Mrs. Sheepdawg and I moved from Memphis to Demorest, Georgia last August. Our new abode is about 10 miles from Camp Currahee/Camp Toccoa, where the story of "Easy Company" the 506th regiment of the 101st Airborne, is told in the Stephen Ambrose book and the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers...

Chalk one up for the seniors, 50 years old Phil Mickelson won the 2021 P.G.A. Championship becoming the oldest winner of one of golf's four majors. One other thing, it was good to see crowds back at a P.G.A. tournament. Phil was mobbed by hundreds of fans after hitting his second shot to about...

So I added another large ring Mauser variant to the collection. This circa 1952 Husqvarna 640 in 7.92X57 better known as 8mm. Mauser. Probably as close as you can get to a pre 64 Winchester model 70 without having to put a major hurt on the bank account. Some of you might not know it but until...

Heaven must be in need of great ballplayers, Joe Morgan has passed away at 77. R.I P.
