    I spent a LOT of my weekly allowances at the TG&Y store during my childhood. Last thing that I bought there was a real leather first baseman's glove. I had it for years, but somehow it didn't make it through all of our moves. 🤔

    Way back in the day, I blew pretty much every penny I could find on model airplanes at TG&Y.  WW2 fighters in 1/48 scale were my biggest weakness.

    About 1/2 those NFL team have different logos now and three aren't in those cities any longer.  😄

     

    I think I got that lunchbox in the 1st grade.  
     

    I think technically four.  Chargers, Raiders, Oilers moved and the Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens.  Then a new Browns team was started.  It also sucked. 
     

    ETA:  make that five - the Colts were still in Baltimore.

    Consider this a PSA to inspect your carry gear. In the last 24 hours I’ve noticed my rear sight drifting AND broke my holster (NSR) during an IDPA match. 

    Sucks, but better to know it now

    So now the question is: do I get a new holster now, or since it’s down anyways, just send off that slide to get milled to make the transition to a red dot?

    Where do you shoot IDPA?

  4. Most of the whiz-bang micro-9s of recent years are just too small to be of much use to me.  My if-I-win-the-lottery carry gun was a Wilson EDC X9 ever since they were introduced.  I lucked into a used one at a price I couldn't turn down and it's now my all-time favorite carry gun.

    Guys, thanks so much for all the well wishes.  I'm  not one to throw in the towel, when problems arise.  Will be doing cardiac rehab.  My middle name has been changed to : appointments.

     

    I don’t know anything about cardiac rehab and I hope to keep it that way.  You sound like a trooper and I bet you bounce right back.

    Traveling through TN years ago I stopped at Stones River gun range. They collected cases, separated brass, steel, aluminum and 22's. Tumbled and bagged per 100, sold for $3 per 100. Special pistol and rifle cases were $5 per 100. That would give me the idea of pistol cases worth .03 each. By the chart 9mm has 117.7 cases per lb. The scrapyards that list scrap prices near me show brass at .90 per lb.

    Of all the websites I've posted about looking for a way to get rid of these cases by selling for reloading or scrap I had 1 reply wanting to know what other cases I had. The buyer offered me .02 per case for the dirty range pick up. Saved me time dealing with washing and tumbling.

    I have bought 5 gallon buckets of cleaned (not processed) 9mm brass for $100 from a local guy in the past.  I think a full 5 gallon bucket is 8-9000 cases.  Yes, anybody can pick it up for free, but $100 to not pick up and clean 9000 cases was worth it to me.  I still think you could sell it locally.  Selling it online and having to ship it will complicate things.

    2 smaller indoor ranges I've used in the past. 3 scrapyards in north Memphis. I'll get their numbers and give them a call.

    My son likes to melt aluminum for ant hills. A bit more heat needed to melt brass, might sell some ingots easier.

    How much were you trying to get for the two five gallon buckets?  Is it range pick-up or factory once-fired?  There absolutely are reloaders who will buy it, processed or not.  You can post it for sale in the Classifieds section if you buy a membership.

    I’m currently enjoying “Masters Of The Air” on Apple TV+. It’s about WWII bomber pilots and crews. Very good series. 
     

    On YouTube, I’m following 3 of 7 Project featuring former navy seal Chadd Wright and Chadd’s separate page. He’s a common sense independent thinker who prepares for the worst without overthinking everything and spreading panic. Both pages are very good in my opinion.
     

    Chadd thinks Trump is the best president in his lifetime, but thinks people who worship Trump and display Trump flags, hats and other paraphernalia are idiots. 

    Chadd is an interesting fellow.  

  9. Alcohol is just another drug that happens to be legal.  Kids are told “never do drugs” by the same people who give them their first drink.  Its potential for addiction and destructiveness should be respected as much as any other drug, but isn’t.

    I'm also in the no car payment club. 

    We were until 2023 hit us.  I had shoulder surgery, we moved, and two weeks after we signed the contract, my wife totaled her 2013 4Runner.  She got a 2023 RAV4.  I was way up in MO a couple weeks before the power steering snafu.  I suppose I could have made it home, but I decided that my 17 year old truck was about to become a local only vehicle.  I bought a 2022 4Runner, but still mostly drive the Tacoma.  2023 was expensive.  My daughter is about to start driving and may inherit the Tacoma.

    2002 4Runner.  Have about 225k on it now and I’ll admit there have been a few issues…Toyotas are not as perfect as many claim, but I love it.

     

    Definitely not perfect, but better than most.  The Taco recently sprang a big leak.  $2k later I had a new rack and pinion and a new power steering pump.  It is 17 years old though.
