The short Lincoln Log pieces were my mortar rounds, which I launched from a Lincoln Log-made see-saw. One accurate shot could wipe out a whole platoon of green men.

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.

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.

Hell daughters, you old codgers

I would normally be there and set up one of the stages, but my daughter has a soccer game.

I show up at TWRA every blue moon. I shoot more often at MSSA.

Where do you shoot IDPA?

The bad part is that the gangsters’ intended targets would be in much more danger if the gangsters used aimed fire instead spray-n-pray.

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.

Bergara. Several hunter and semi-target versions can be found for under $1K. If I buy another deer rifle, it will be the Bergara Ridge.

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.

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.

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.

Chadd is an interesting fellow.

I’ll check it out.

I've fished Sardis many times. My favorite type of fishing there is trolling for crappie while casting with a UL spinning rig.

I did too, but I saw today that it is actually supposed to be in theaters. I'll save $50 lol

I recently won movie tickets from the local radio station and now there's finally something that looks worthwhile.

Season 1 was awesome. I gave up midway through season 2.

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.

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.

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.

My sister has an XTerra that has been boringly reliable.
