  1. May the Lord bless and keep your family. There is hope.
  2. Watched a deputy who was range instructor that day almost get his left foot shot off. This was in the late 90’s. They had finally forced a gentleman to switch from a wheelgun to a DA/SA semi-auto. Smith and Wesson 9mm I think. The guy was a lifelong wheelgunner, hated semis, and was retiring in a few years at that point. I’ve always thought they should have left him alone anyway. BUT…..they didn’t and wished they had. Range instructor took Jim through a string of fire and then ordered him to holster. BOOM! #%£¥<#%!{}+]=[=,€~£€<|\! blurted Mr. Range instructor. As Jim was holstering his new semi-auto it went off all by itself with the range instructor standing right beside him, feet almost touching. Of course, Jim’s finger was somewhere in the area but I think the finger had an alibi. HAD to be the fault of the gun
  3. I think that’s about the most accurate statement I’ve read in a while. Hate to hear that about the Tundras. I hope the Tacomas are still good but I guess it’s kind of a moot point with me since I can’t afford to buy anything in the first place.
  4. Yep. Exactly what I’m considering. The body on my 2005 Chevy is still good at about 200,000 miles, so I’m thinking about a head to toe rebuild sometime down the road. I’d love to have a new Toyota or a new F150, but that ain’t happening. Being that Rob never listens to anything I’ve told him, especially since I’ve never told him anything , I’ll stick with the Ford recommendation out of his three choices. To me the only good thing Dodge has is the Cummins engine, but like I said before, due to my own experience I’m staying away from Dodge altogether. All that said, some days I still wish I could have a mid 90’s crew cab F150 or 250 with a manual transmission. That old square body Ford is still my favorite.
  5. I do agree on the notion that Toyota is the best truck. But I also have to agree that they are too pricey and too thirsty. I’ve had three, the last one being a 2004 Tundra that I wound up selling just to get my wife that dadgum dolled up Rav4 she wanted ( great vehicle though). That was a great truck except for the fact that it was a gasaholic.
  6. A dealer priced it to me at $1460, about $1650 out the door. Maybe it’s worth it. I dunno
  7. Grayfox I’ve never heard it put that way about Dodge being a verb, but if I go off my personal experience I’ll have to wholeheartedly agree with that. I won’t touch another one. Up until last year I drove a 2012 Tahoe at work. Hated that thing from day one. The city finally messed up and asked me what I wanted, so now I’m driving a Ford F150 at work. That said, I desperately needed a truck at home, and I really wanted a Ford or a Toyota, but I absolutely hate car dealers, so I bought a 2005 Chevy 1500 4x4 from a friend’s son. Been a good truck so far. Rob I still think you’d be better off sticking with the Fords, but I think GMC might be a good choice too. Just kind of a sidebar thought here, but, assuming the body and frame are in good shape, have you thought about just having the whole thing rebuilt?
  8. To which he did not reply, only staring at her while thinking to himself “KEEPER!” So he made her the queen of his double-wide trailer with the polyester curtains and the redwood deck…..
  9. 54 views and no replies. I guess if you include me, that makes 55 of us who don’t know.
  10. …followed by a pale, gaunt man in tattered overalls hollering “Cujo! Cujo! I dun told you to stop eatin people. It upsets yer stomach and I gotta shovel it up after ya!”…
  11. Anybody experienced one, or own one? I’m seriously considering one, especially since Dan Wesson has priced themselves out of my reach at this time. Wilson Combat slide stop, safety, hammer and sear. Some level of attention from Springfield’s custom shop. I’ve read that it’s sort of in between the TRP and the Professional. I’m sure it’s better than my Springfield Lightweight Operator, but is it better than my TRP Operator? King’s Firearms contacted Lipsey’s and attached my name to one when they come in, but I want to do a little more studying before that happens.
  12. I’ll continue praying for you and her. Throughout my life I have earned the scars and a full, deep understanding of pain, anger, grief, fear. I know that I’m not the only one here. And even with all that, I cannot pretend to know and feel the depth of what you are going through. But I do understand that it is deep abiding pain. I can empathize with that part. Someone has already said it, but just know that you have people praying for you and your family. Nobody here can know just the right thing to say, and I’m scared to death that if I tried to say what I thought was the right thing at a time like this, the words would just seem hypocritical and empty. All I can do is pray for you, and that I will do.
  13. Praying for you and your family
  14. I don’t get to see my boys every day. I wish I could. But I tell them I love them and I am praying for them. Alleycat thank you for the reminder that we all need.
  15. I have a good friend that I rarely talk to any more because he is “ate plum up” with the Q stuff. Can’t have a normal conversation about anything without him suddenly steering it to that stuff. It’s some outlandish crap he’s gotten into. “Trump is still in command and after they let the people learn their lesson he’ll come galloping back in on a white wildebeest” or whatever. What I do know is that there are plenty of people on both (or all?) sides who will greedily lick up whatever information or theories they are spoon fed. They say the truth is somewhere in the middle. At this point I’m starting to think it’s buried under a giant tadpole in a crater lake somewhere. Lord have mercy!
  16. ...carnage left by the events which had transpired over the last few days (or was it several?). Woe betide the world for that which Jack had witnessed through his eyes, dimmed by both horror and George Dickel, and for that which was to befall humanity in the ensuing weeks, for the worst was not yet. Worse fiends that those yet encountered were at the gate. These were those who truly believed that "real communism hadn't been tried yet." Jack knew he must clear his head of the alcohol induced fog and prepare for fiercest battle yet to be had. As the gurgling, moaning sounds of these creatures drew nearer, Jack steadied himself, double checked his ammo supply, calmly slid his hand onto the plastic pearl grips, and drew his fully custom chrome High Point 1911...... (yeah I know it's more than one line. Forgive me for the indulgence)
  17. …she delightfully discovered those tiny crystals which, when smoked….
  18. And sadness was something Jill knew all too well, as it had been her constant companion ever since she graduated elementary school and went out on her own…
  19. Now THAT is a proper rifle! Please ship to: Rick’s Charity For Needy Lever Action Lovers
  20. As Jack struggles to decipher the equation, his mind wanders, and he begins to ponder his future appearances on the Jerry Springer show with his faithful sister at his side ……
  21. Nope. It’s just you. ‘Cept when I do it.
  22. He was a very good singer in my book
  23. You talking about the singer?
