     Were you shooting the 2 1/2" or 3" shells? What brand did you have the best luck with? What brand shells? I hand load and will try to duplicate the factory loads.

     All I say for sure is they were 3". I've never had any 2 1/2". As for the brand........whatever the sporting goods store had. I joined the Navy in 1962 so there wasn't much of a choice back then. All I can remember is 3" high brass #6.

      3" shells with #6 shot always worked for me.

    I grew up in northeastern Okla. and we had the same trees as you. All I ever hunted small game with was a single shot Iver Johnson single shot .410 that my dad got as a well used hand-me-down around 1920. He told me that somewhere down the line, it had about 3" cut off the barrel.  

     I concur with Luckyforward on the ammo.

  3. Memphis area

    My daughter's van blew a head gasket and is not really worth the expense of getting it fixed so I'm looking for a cheap dependable vehicle for her. Not real picky, small car or suv in somewhat good condition as long as everything works.

  4.  Back in December ( or it could have been Nov, ) I got up from my chair to  go to the bathroom and saw what looked like a ribbon laying in the floor. As I got close, it headed for the bookcase so I realized it was a small snake. The bookcase is on those super slider things so I slid it out and sure enough it was a skinny little rat snake. It was about 16-18 inches long and maybe 3/4" in diameter. I grabbed it and started to get up off the floor ( this requires me to hang onto something ) and it wrapped it's tail around a spindle of the end table, pulled out of my hand and hauled ass. It was under the china cabinet in the dining room and I wasn't about to move it. It was also bedtime so I decided to look the next morning. Not going into what all is in the dining room, but let's say there is a lot of places for it to hide so I decided we could co-exist until he showed up again.

     It's not unusual for my dog to bark at things outside the front door but today I was sitting here at the computer and she started barking right beside me. After I got myself off the ceiling I saw she was going from one end of the dresser to the other and was interested in something behind it. Flashlight in hand, I started checking and sure enough Mr. Snake was behind there. It was too far back to get hold of so I used one of those reacher things with the rubber cups on the ends to get hold of it. We played tug-of-war for a few minutes but I finally got him out so I could get hold of him. He'd done a little growing, now he was about 3' long and about 2" in diameter. 

     He is now an outside snake. thumb-up.gif

    That is only 0.000024% of the patient group. While this is more that the expected 10-106 background cases, it is still a very very very small percentage of people. 

    So that's an acceptable percentage of other people's sons ?   icon-confused.gif

    The point is, they don't know enough to begin giving it to children.

  6.  More side effects are starting to show up and they want to start giving this to young children. I hope every school that mandates the vaccine to people to attend their school gets sued out of existence.

  7. Well..........isn't this a surprise  whistle.gif

    A California county cut its COVID-19 death toll by around 25% after determining that some deaths were not a "direct result" of the virus.

    Alameda County revised the total number of deaths caused by the coronavirus to 1,223, down from 1,634.

    County officials decided to revise the numbers to align with the California Department of Public Health's guidance on how to classify deaths. The county previously included deaths of anyone infected with the virus, regardless of whether COVID-19 was a direct or contributing cause of death.

  8. Looks like things move rather slow up yonder too  cool.gif

     

    The allegations stem from a July 2018 incident at the army’s Combat Training Centre at CFB Gagetown in New Brunswick.

    The court martial is scheduled to begin in New Brunswick in August.
