Stop confusing the issue with all these facts ...

You mean intentionally?

It's too bad that ole Fatty Fleming's not still around. They had a going out of business sale for 50 years ...

The most amazing thing about this whole expulsion incident is that the Tennessee House has managed to make themselves look dumber than usual. That's impressive ...

Ok, that makes more sense. I tend to forget about preschools, large or small, as I never had any experience with them, either as a youngster or later as an adult ...

Not looking to start any arguments, but that seems like an awful lot of private schools. Where are all of them? It's always seemed like here in West Tennessee the public schools outnumber the privates several times over ...

I meant my correction was "irrelevant" to the discussion in the topic. I don't know enough about the history of mental health treatment in California or elsewhere to judge the relevancy of your original point. Sorry for the confusion ...

One very minor correction, Nixon was never governor of California. He lost the 1962 election to Pat Brown, a loss which most thought would end his political career. Just an example of mostly useless trivia, and completely irrelevant to this topic ...

Numrich and Liberty Tree Collectors should have bolts and parts in stock. Thee are other, similar sites as well ...

Maybe because the ammo is still flying off the shelves at the posted prices? There's not much incentive for any retailer to lower prices as long as the sales volume stays relatively constant ...

At one point today, the AWOS readout at the airport was showing sustained winds of 50 knots. I saw some wind gusts at close to 60 knots. Definitely a stiff breeze ...

I've seen quite a few posts here over the years which indicated possible brain death ...

The general rule of thumb in the collector forums that I frequent is that any restoration destroys most, if not all the collectability. I'm certainly no expert in Colt pistols, and maybe in that world restoration is looked on more favorably, but my advice is always "don't" if you want to preserve the historicity and collectability of a gun. Be aware that any refinishing is going to leave telltale signs, markings won't be as crisp for one. In that sense, it will never be in "original condition" again, if by that you mean looking like it did when new. Essentially, it's in its "original condition" now, as its current condition is original to the treatment and use of the pistol. .Another thing to consider, what's precious to you in terms of family ownership may not necessarily follow in future generations, you wouldn't be the first to find that younger members of the family don't share your appreciation of it as an "heirloom". Having said all that, it's your gun and you're of course free to do what you will with it ...

Looking at who filed the motion, were you surprised? I don't think anyone will ever accuse Gaetz of being overly intelligent ...

TCU has very few players who would see the field on Georgia's team. It's a physical mismatch ...

The rout is on ...

One of the more prolific collectors on Gunboards posted an example of one of these a few years ago that he managed to acquire. There is (or maybe was, I haven't looked at it in a while) a long and interesting discussion of these rifles on that forum ...

Forecast said it was supposed to reach 13 today. 8 was the highest temp i caught on the thermometers. The wind made it seem even colder ...

I couldn't remember the exact year, but knew it was in the late 80s. I was living outside Paris, Tn. at the time, the low temps hit -18 on the worst night and the high the next day was -4. As I recall, we had something close to a week of exceptionally low temperatures that time. I also remember discovering that I didn't own any clothes appropriate for being outside in that type of weather ...

There's been light snow falling in NW Tennessee since about 3 pm. Winds are pretty strong, and the temp right now is 16 and falling. Forecast says a low tonight of -1. I'm definitely not cut out for living in a northern clime ...

Yes, the only year that package was offered. Technically, it's a 1979 Chrysler 300, although obviously based on the Cordoba of that year. The 300 package included the trim, paint, driveline and interior, with fairly limited options available.

Anyone who is (or was) a car guy, and is of a certain age can probably name several examples of cars they once owned that would sell for far more today than back then. If you're like me, one of the reasons i was able to own some of the ones I did was that, at the time, they were just used cars, and some of them weren't really all that nice either. I didn't have the funds to keep more than a few (sometimes 1) at a time, so I changed them out regularly for others that I developed a desire for. Some even got parted out, or scrapped (yes, I once took a Boss 302 shell to the crusher) as needs arose. I don't regret owning them, or selling them when I did, as I needed the money at the time for other purchases. This topic reminds me of the ones on many gun forums, bemoaning the fact that 'I remember when you could buy a (insert favorite firearm name) for $29" ... I'll add this, my most recent purchase before I bow out of this thread ...
