Aint it the truth!! I like the "Brazil Syndrome" quip!! Keep up the good work! leroy

Robert:______________ Take a look at this: George W. Bush judicial appointment controversies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And here: http://www.brookings.edu/opinions/2011/0104_advice_consent_binder.aspx Everything boils down to politics. Congress does, in fact, regularly hold up judicial appointments and they should. leroy

All:________________ Here is an update on the Japanese nuclear plant saga. Link here: Idaho Samizdat: Nuke Notes Looks like more problems than first thought. The real news is that there is no "china syndrome".. I'm sure Jane Fonda and others are dissappointed. Looks like the fuel may have shattered and piled up in the bottom of the reactor vessel just like Three Mile Island. This is bad news for the Japanese electricity consumer and TEPCO. My guess is that the unit (...at least the nuclear steam generation side...) is now expensive scrap metal. leroy

I'm a bit downcast, just like the great cinema character George Nelson (...the bankrobber...) in that film classic "OH Brother." It kinda looks to me like there aint anyone experimenting with that tactical powerhouse the 410 gage. Guess that i'll just have to wing this one myself. ddowncast leroy

Aint it the truth brother!!! Keep up the good work! leroy

I fully agree!! keep up the good work. leroy

Thanks for posting this. I like the spx (....mostly because of the customization possibilities...) and would like to have an 18 inch plain barrel. I cant decide between doing one of these or cutting down (...or finding...) and 18 inch plain barrel Browning A5. I like a recoil operated shotgun. The problem with the A5's and their brothers like the Franchi is that that it's hard to find aftermarket parts for them. Been thinkin about doing a more modern version of a semi-auto shotgun. I really like this one (...mine has to look like a "real" shotgun. This one does...). Again, for posting this great picture and the review. leroy

I like it!!! leroy

Dear fellow reloaders, TGO opiners, and operatives:_______________ You all are gonna like this; and you all can tell that ive run out of anything productive to do!!! I'm getting ready to load some blackpowder 410 ga (...2 1/2"...) buckshot and regular shot loads for my bond arms snakeslayer (....3 1/2" barrel...). Got the wads comming from the "Track of the Wolf" and will order the magtech brass shortly. Found some old load data that calls for 30 grains of black powder and 1/2 oz shot. Thirty grains of black powder is just a tad over one dram (...dram is about 27.8 grains of powder...). I think this load is a bit low. We currently load about 35 grains of FF in our 45 colt loads with a 255 grain bullet. It's pretty stiff; but a 45 colt is supposed to be. Having said all this; have any of you all loaded any blackpowder 410 rounds? If so, how much powder did ya use? Let me know what ya think. By the way, all you real old time pistoleros and shotgun folk owe it to yourselves to shoot some blackpowder in your favorite cannon. The kaboom is great and the white smoke cant be beat for authenticity. There is nothing in this world greater than the throaty kaboom of 12 ga side hammer double shooting black powder!! old time leroy

Amen brother. leroy

All:____________ I get the weekly note on voting. Alexander pulled a Kerry on this one. He voted for cloture; then voted against confirmation on the floor vote so he could say he voted "against confirmation". He obviously knew that the "for confirmation" floor vote would pass. It did with 50 "ayes". More dirty "quid pro quo" politics. Remember, politics can be a dirty business. Alexander is plenty dirty. watchin leroy

Amen brother! I dont allow any messin with my squirrels either. Lookin forward to pictures! leroy

Well said!! Actions sometimes have consequences. Keep up the good work! leroy

I'm an old Colt 1911 guy (...back to the mid seventies...). There was a Combat Commander (...4.25 inch barrel....). It is simply an all steel commander (...the original commanders were aluminum frames...). They are more like the current springfield champions. They are a great pistol if the price is right. Highly recommend 'em. Hope this helps. leroy

Jason:_____________ Saw this this morning on Drudge. I think it is an interesting (...and, by the way, a great....) thing. It's high time that "real people" took the offensive and call this trash what they really are. Thanks for posting this great bit of news. GO TIGERS!!!! leroy

I'm a great Bullard fan too. They make good stuff. leroy

Bingo!!! A great assessment of this whole bunch of tripe. The Demorats invented partisan politics in modern times. Keep up the good work. leroy

Thanks for posting this info. Keep up the good work. leroy

All:___________________ Here is the text of a noncommittal e-mail response from my tennessee state representative, Harry Brooks. I reveived it today. I think it is, indeed, a good thing to let these representatives know we are watching. .... (....removed note RE: Harwell response. I mis-spoke here. It was for HB 130, sorry for the lapse in thinkin-- ive been doin a lot of that lately. CRS syndrome....). Text as follows:

I like it!! What an observation!! Full of insight and humor!!! Keep up the good work! leroy

Hoosier is right. The only way to solve this "problem" is not to have a cel phone. As mike said; this has been out there quite a while; and the courts have allowed prosecutors and others to use tracking data from phones in court. What you are seeing here is the basic "problem" with technology. If you want "convenience"; there are some strings attached. Dont want folks to know where ya are goin. Dont take the cel phone. Do like an old buddy of mine used to say about his carousing uncle: "...Leave after dark and return before daylight... Let your commin and goin be a secret...". He was dodging his irate wife and the child support folks. It's a bit tougher to dodge folks today. leroy

ted:______________ Here is some pretty good stuff on 40 S&W reloading :....The 40 S&W The 40 S&W is a lot closer to the old 38-40 black powder cartridge in power (...not dimensions...) than the 10mm (...in my opinon...). We've been using nosler 180 grain jhps and 6.5 grains of unique in once fired brass. OAL is 1.20 (...i think...). Use the longest one you can manage. Haven't chronographed yet; but i would bet 900 to 950 fps depending on barrel length. Shoots pretty soft to me; but worked well in our baby glock 27. Hope this helps leroy

Peejman is right: RE: This aint a bad idea. good luck leroy

Fully agreed. leroy

This is exactly why we need to get rid of alexander. He is a typical, scheming polititian playing both sides of the fence. He, no doubt, traded influence somewhere unknown to us to allow this travesty to happen. Everything is a deal to the "political class". leroy
