So Ted autographed your guitar, or that one is "lost from the equipment trailer"... ?

Dinner was a ham and cheese melt and crinkle fries from Arby's. Meh. Filling. In the car, running errands, and in a hurry. Dessert is Oreos and milk for dipping. Classic. In no hurry at all now.

I had an early 80's Ibanez Les Paul solid body copy. All blonde, clear-coated lacquer finish - body and neck grain matched, brass tuners, perfect frets, dual humbuckers in brass cases. A monster built before Ibanez got sued for patent infringement by Gibson. Pawn shop find. A hundred dollars and...

Just got an email from Guns.com with lots of police trade-ins. Glock 19's, 22's, 23's others. Most are 9mm. All in that price range.

My prayers, Rusty.

Believe me, you'll know if it becomes 10 overnight. First thing, you'll think your desktop is MacOS.

Well I should have said open drive bay, such as where a DVD drive would reside, or hard drives under the front case cover. Note the picture of the front of my old desktop computer.

I have two GP100's and a collection of single actions of various calibers from 22LR to 44 mag and 45 Colt. Built like tanks. I had a Security Six but got talked out of it an a trade long ago. Not as pretty as Smiths or Colts, but very shootable and accurate. I can't hit an 18" plate at 135...

A hot swap is a slot with sometimes a caddy in the computer chassis, with hookup to an open SATA channel on the motherboard. Microsoft developed this with several manufacturers years ago. Probably as old as Win 8.1. The idea is that the drive can be ejected like a USB memory device and then...

My father's family split into two factions long ago. I have a second cousin with the same first and last name, but somehow we have never met. We are about the same age. He seems to have some misdemeanors in his history, but no felonies. Our identities have been mixed up on credit checks. I...

Be careful with those outboards, especially if they are your primary storage or primary backup. Just talked to a good friend on the "left coast" who left his 8Tb backup drive plugged in his "hot swap" overnight. Windows 11 (or something else related) decided to reboot, and the drive lost its...

I have a 60, ADKxxxx, lettered to the end of December 1983. Seems they made a lot of stainless 60's that year. Great shooter, DA trigger is smooth.

I had many years at work being the unofficial computer IT. Spent a lot of my time recovering "the only copy" of files from coworkers' dead or dying computers. I always taught them - save three copies - one to use, one to lose, and one for the backup you'll really need. Also told them all to...

The latest scuttlebutt on blogs from ZDNet, Ask Woody, and cNet say that Microsloth will (or is) going to offer a one-time "update subscription" of $30 to continue sending updates to Windows 10 for one year. No links to it yet, but possibly available around Oct. 14. It does not keep your Windows...

A Model 10-4 (6?) 4" HB, a police trade-in at a small local hardware store in 1978. Tight lockup, good trigger. I wish I still have it.

Excellent 1911's. High quality for a price that you would not expect to be so reasonable.

New email from Powder Valley. Thanking everyone for the outpouring of support, and saying they will survive. Currently have computers set up in temp office spaces, and searching for suitable substitute warehousing. Good for them, and buy a gift card towards future purchases!

My 1983 nickel 38 is my go-to pocket carry if grabbing a j-frame. Very smooth DA. Good price. Go for it.

I have a good friend who speaks fluent Farsi. When the spammers start, he goes into a great dialog that says basically nothing. The spammers always go silent, so much so that he usually hangs up on them.

A sad day for a superb small business. Bought from them several times. I do hope they can recover.
