Similar but different - years ago I had a clogged rooftop dryer vent in a house we had built. Inspection finally revealed a very, very fine screen over the exhaust in the roof cap. The contractor had added it as a bug screen. The problem was that it was finer than the lint trap screen in the...

Alabama. As I age, I prefer north Alabama over south and parts of central Alabama. We have our problems / issues, but firearms stuff doesn't seem to be one of them. As least for the law-abiding citizens. JMHO.

A long time friend of mine is from Guatemala. He said down there, as a teenager, that he hunted Iguanas with a .22 rifle. They were hunted for food and skin. About the only thing that he ate were the tails, cooked by roasting over a fire.

Nice looking pistol. I have a HS Series 102 Tournament that I inherited. They are excellent pistols. A word of caution - shoot only STANDARD velocity .22LR in them. Unfortunately, a slight design flaw in the frame can result in a cracked frame if you shoot a regular diet of High Velocity .22LR...

FWIW, I have a set of "Rada" brand kitchen and table knives. Stainless steel with aluminum handles. Reasonably priced and MADE IN USA as well. They meet all of my amateur culinary needs. Good luck.

We have some, from my late MIL's estate.

Essayons! I've done many military parades throughout the years. "Hurry up and wait is right", but it doesn't matter when you see the excited crowds. JMHO, YMMV.

Gullible, TDS-infected libtards. The dimwits don't realize that the majority of the things they are protesting were actually done before, mainly by the democrat presidents.

My late BIL was an OTR trucker for several years. He had quite a collection of truckstop VHS tapes, mainly horror / suspense genre, with a few "kinky-esque" thrown in. But there were a few "classics", westerns / old Hollywood / etc. that I kept. Still, after I removed my choices, it was a...

Thanks for the replies. I'll probably get it lettered soon.

This post is a little ironic. I just was tasked by my employer to complete an online course titled "AI, Phishing, and Cybersecurity", which mainly discussed the major security flaws currently in AI. Also, the course basically told us to verify everything "important" through multiple sources...

I have a Remington shotgun from my paternal granddad. I have a Winchester .22 rifle from my maternal granddad. I have a USGI M-1 carbine (NRA purchase) and High Standard .22 pistol from my maternal step-granddad. Finally I have a S&W revolver, that belonged to a maternal great-granddad. These...

Trying this again. I got this Victory at a local show in July 2023. S/N is SV775003, with "US Property" and "GHD" on the top strap. I know it's a late production, just trying for more info. Thanks.

Some HS friends had transferred out to McCord AFB with their USAF dad. They were camping on another mountain close by when it happened. They had to walk out on foot because the falling ash made it too difficult to drive. They also said they had almost camped on Mt. St. Helens, as they had...

We still have my wife's IBM PS/2 that she bought around 1990. It was "high tech" at the time of purchase, with a 20MB HD and a 3-1/2" floppy drive. We've had it stored in a closet about 25 years. Its last uses were some genealogy stuff and playing archaic games like "Wheel of Fortune". It was...

Although I didn't really grow up "poor", money was tight enough to be mindful of how it was spent. It wasn't a perfect system, but as a result I am generally a "tightwad", or in other words, "thrifty". I started taking things apart as a kid and reassembling them. I eventually got an Engineering...

Not to hijack this thread, but I have a Victory revolver I purchased about a year and a half ago. I posted about it on the big "Victory" thread, but didn't get a definitive answer. My S/N is SV775003, which I have deduced is sometime in 1945. Thanks.

My biggest observation is the absence of advertising on the sides, top, and bottom, some of which would pop up while reading a thread.

In Alabama I had to show proper paperwork to have "Veteran" added to my D/L. Since I've done that, I'm curious as to whether I can go to my local D/L office and just have the "star" added without additional paperwork.

I have used TT for several years, once I found out an accountant that I had been paying was using it as well. I access TT through USAA and get a (small IMHO) discount. Had to pay Fed again, which always seems to coincide with a Dem in the WH for the particular tax year in play. However, my...
