    Funny stuff in my travels today.

    The wife wanted to go a couple of counties over to the annual watermelon festival here in South Georgia. There wasn't much happening there...mostly vendors, trinkets, and unusual foods-kettle corn, gator on a stick, etc. A dozen or so vintage car guys there with their toys, a southern rock trio...

    Help with 29-1 Historical Letter

    I got my letter yesterday from the S&W Historical Foundation on my 6.5" 29-1. It confirmed the model and configuration. It was sent to a distributor in Miami in 1962. I've sent the pertinent information to J. C. Elect. The typed invoice has the company name as S. G. Keep Wholesale while the...

    It's snake season!

    The snakes are out and a couple of them followed me home...a pair of diamondbacks. Both are .38 sp. The 4" was made in 1981 and the scarcer 2 1/2" is a first year pistol from 1966. I needed them like I need another hole in the head, but we all know how that story ends...it ends with the pistols...

    Need advice on Performance Center 627

    I have the opportunity to buy one of these locally. Made in 2021, same product code, excellent condition with box and accessories. Does anybody have one and what are your thoughts on it?

    Model 27-2 4" P&R

    I picked this pistol up around Christmas. As the title states, it has a 4" pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. I read the order for the 4" guns came out in 1979 which subsequently dropped the 3 1/2" and 5" models. The order dropping the P&R features around 1982. Assuming S&W continued using...

    Skirt Steak

    I was given a pack of frozen skirt steak. I googled it. Not sure if it's inside or outside. This isn't something I've ever bought or tried. Any ideas? Any favorite recipes with this particular cut of meat? Eat as steak or cut it up and use in a recipe? Thanks for any help.

    Life has come full circle.

    I can't tell you how many tree rats I shot and ate when I was a younger man. Doves as well. I'll still go to a dove shoot occasionally, but I have no desire to squirrel hunt. Now I'm feeding them! I have a squirrel proof bird feeder but the dove are ground feeders so I throw a little on the...

    UPS driver does me a solid

    I ordered a new saw on black Friday. The current one gave up the ghost after a short 19 years. I can't complain. The delivery date snuck up on me and I wasn't home. This isn't a cheap saw. When I saw the UPS delivery notification on my phone this afternoon, I wrapped things up, dropped off my...

    CLP

    I've used CLP for years. I ran out last week so I was looking to replenish. I didn't want another aerosol can because I don't finish them before the propellant runs out. The prices were shocking. A 0.68 ounce bottle was roughly $10 at wallyworld. Then I found this on Amazon Resale for $77...

    It's all about the peanuts...

    and Jimmy. He'll be 100 tomorrow. The wife and I went to the annual Peanut Festival in Plains, GA over the weekend. It's relatively close to home and something to do after being hunkered down for two days waiting on Helene to blow through. They were also celebrating the upcoming 100th birthday...

    Rentors

    I know from previous threads that many of you have had a positive experience with your rental properties and I'm sure many of you are ideal rentors as well. I've never had any and have avoided them for years. My brother and I inherited one from my father and I've been in the liquidation...
