I have great neighbors compared to the stories here. We do have one bad apple but so far has not bothered me. He has turned in two neighbors for zoning violations. Nothing dangerous, one couple, good friends, sold their land and moved because of him. They were living in a 5th wheel longer than allowed while trying to get a house built. They were with in days of moving the trailer to where no one could see it after getting a septic system in and water run back where the house was to be built. Had to move it off the property making them rent expensive campground space. Made them so mad they put the place up for sale and left the area. Other couple he turned in are new and in the process of putting a tiny house on their property and he didn’t like they way they were doing it and zoning has gotten involved and delaying them moving it. I was told our zoning board is pretty laid back on enforcement as long as there isn’t a safety issue but have to enforce if there is a complaint. Needless to say no one on the road likes him. Next time I see the tiny house guy I will stop and tell him the rest of the road has nice people that mind their own business, only one A**hole on the road. On the other hand when some one said they never had a neighbor ask for permission to shoot, that has happened once, but the neighbor was asking permission to shoot his new revolver on my range since he didn’t have his built yet. We took turns for a half a box or so of shells.

Taking a few days off from posting new old photos. Camping in the middle of the Hershey old cars flea market this week, selling some extra ca parts and buying things I don’t need. Decided I didn’t need my lap top and only brought my iPad not thinking about the fact all my pictures are on my laps top. So Reefer and others please pick up the slack. Sold enough today to pay for my spaces, now working on gas money. Would come anyway, but it is nice to come out even and it is cheaper to camp on the our spaces in the flea market than a cross the street in a field.

I took early retirement 15+ years ago and always find things to stay busy. Lot of hobbies and such. I took two weeks of planned vacation soon after I retired and came back and just continued vacation mode and never missed work. A few things I used as my guide: I wake up each morning with nothing planned and if I get half done by evening I'm happy. Doing nothing is very hard to do ... you never know when you're finished. Procrastination is totally a good thing. You always have something to do tomorrow, plus you have nothing to do today.

Interesting armor

I would start with .22 just so you can afford to shoot it a lot. Then if you get hooked you can start adding more. I currently have 4 Marlins and 1 Henry. I started with a .410 that was a gift when I was 13. I then inherited a .22. I added a .357 to go with a revolver I had and so I could shoot the cheaper .38s in it. Then I added a 30-30 just because I wanted something bigger for no real good reason. My latest add was the Henry in a .22 Mares Leg just for fun.

Colt Peacemaker???

We stopped eating margarine years ago when a friend did an experiment to prove to his wife that margarine wasn't good for you. He left a big gob of margarine on a piece of cardboard in his barn and after a couple of weeks it was still there and no signs anything touched it, not even bugs. Even mice knew it was poison. That doesn't prove butter is good for you just margarine isn't.

Standard IT Q/A: Is it plugged in? Turn it off and back on.

Agree with most of what has been mentioned already. I have bought a few items on TGO, some at asking price and some with a private offer. When you say "firm" that means no offers. The distance can be taken care of by offering to ship at cost of shipping. Long guns do not have to be shipped to an FFL if seller and buyer are both in TN. One seller wasn't comfortable shipping direct to me and cut the price by what the FFL would cost me but that is all negotiable. I happen to like the two Kel-Tec's I have, but most KT tend to be specialty guns so they have a smaller market.

Safe place to perch

Not quite the same thing but in WW-2 Hawaii printed HAWAII on the back of all the US money on the islands and destroyed the non marked money so if Japan captured the island the currency could be voided. I had a one dollar bill that was in very wrinkled condition and sold it with other coins and bills at a coin auction partially because I knew my Dad had a very nice one in his collection that I would eventually inherit. The one dollar bill brought over $100 at auction. When I inherited my Dad's collection his was gone, he apparently sold it along the way. Oh well not really into collecting coins or currency anyway.
