  1. My Mom has been quilting as long as I can remember, now that she has retired she has been quilting full time. Here is one of her quilts.

  2. So I have a bad habit of buying guns, sticking them in the safe and not shooting them. About 1.5-2 years ago I picked up a mid-60's Winchester model 70 in .375 H&H. I finally put a scope on it and took it out yesterday to sight it in. I am not very recoil sensitive. This was my fist time shooting .375 H&H and it thumped me a little more than I was expecting. My shoulder is sore today.Got her sighted in and back into the safe she goes. If I get lucky and get an elk tag this is the gun I will use. About 2.5 years ago I picked up a Montana X2 in .300 Win Mag. Scoped her and got her sighted in yesterday also. I love accurate rifles and I really love this one. After shooting the .375 this one did't seem to kick at all. Clover leafed my last three shot group at 100. Should have taken a pic but didn't think about it. It was a little warm yesterday but it was good to get out and shoot some.

  3. I went with my son today pawn shop hopping, looking for him an acoustic guitar. We went in the Outpost Pawn Shop in Hendersonville, and he bought a really nice Yamaha from the very nice gentleman who ran the store for what I feel is a great price. I got home and googled the guitar to learn a bit about it, and you'll never believe what I found. It isn't a guitar LIKE this one. It IS this one! The sad part is he has no idea who Jimmy Fortune is. Great playing and sounding guitar anyway. Tennessee is a pretty cool place.

  4. Wife is gonna make a roast so I dug a few hills. Not bad for tossing some sprouting new potatoes in the ground and watering them a few times. Still got 5 hills out there. Hard to see size, but the largest are about twice thee size if a ping pong ball. Anyone ever dug the whole plant, carefully harvested and replanted to get a second harvest? Gonna try to see if anything happens. Nothing lost trying.

  5. Took the advice to start a different topic. Helped my son clean his gutters, had been a good bit. We are both afraid of heights, helps to have some one there to hold the ladder. He had trees growing, he has an oak tree in the front yard, acorns had started a few saplings. We cleaned both the front and back gutters, took just over a hour. Yall be safe out there.

  7. I’m a Toolmaker. When MIM started being used in guns I was one of the guys (along with many others) that had worked with it that warned MIM is junk. It’s one step above pot metal and is only used because it is cheap to produce high quantity of like parts. Then I had a catastrophic failure of my SW1911 that rendered it unusable. While I was showing my BIL how the safeties worked on a 1911; I engaged the thumb safety pointed it downrange at a target and pulled the trigger. The weapon fired. The gun would not operate after that. The guys at the range said they had never seen anything like it either. I did not disassemble the gun, but I’m convinced the thumb safety broke. I sent it in. S&W would not answer me about if the safety broke. They only would say the safety was improperly fitted. When I asked them to replace it with a safety that wasn’t MIM; they said they couldn’t, that was all they had. My 1911 has become a range gun, I don’t carry a 1911 much anyway, but until I get this safety change to stainless; I don’t trust it for a self-defense weapon. Bottom line…as many of us warned, MIM has an application; gun parts is not it. This is a public service announcement.

  8. Have you handled one? I had a 3" (I think) model for a while & whilst undoubtedly built like a vault door, it was unbelievably heavy, impossible to aim, had a trigger I couldn't work (pull up & back simultaneously?!) & was physically bigger than my .45 XDs. With 2½" birdshot it was merely unpleasant. With Winchester Pdx defense loads, it was god-freaking-awful. I admire them, I think the build quality is as good as anything & better than 95% of firearms & you couldn't give me another. Wrapped in money. Delivered by a stripper.

  9. A lady walks into court, accused of beating her husband with his guitars. The judge asks "First offender?" She said "No, first the Gibson, then the Fender." Ah Cha Cha

  10. Very nice. If I didn’t spend so much time wasted on the internet and You Tube I would have time to quilt.

  11. I have an attachment for my leaf blower that'll blow out gutters. It works pretty good if the gutters are dry. It'll give you freckles otherwise. I usually just drag out the ladder.

  12. Yes. Surface Area and Mass are as important as velocity; it’s like a triangle thingy. Well, there’s that, and then there’s the whole “We were awake in physics class” thing. Some of us are more than just a pretty face.
