    I just finished the first season of “3 Body Problem” on Netflix. It’s a very good sci-fi series.  I can’t wait for season 2.  
     

    I love asking questions and discovering or having answers explained, so the pace of the series was fine for me. My wife also ask a lot of questions, but she wants immediate answers, so it was a hard no for her. 

    I've found the awnser for my wife's constant questions during a movie...pretend to be asleep!

    Sorry dear, but I haven't been watcing close enough to awnser that for you.

    I did the sleep study last night at home, took the stuff back too them today. Decided to pull out and not go any further with it. Just wasted $400 I guess.

    I did something similar some years ago. Suffered thru the attachement of the unbelievable number of electrodes on my scalp. Had a hard time getting to sleep with them.

    That was the first night. Got all hooked up on night #2 and jerked the device off. I found it to be not only uncomfortable but discovered I was extremely claustrophobic! Mouth and nose covered. Face covered. (Old style equipment)  Found I couldn't breath against the inbound air flow. 

    I just went berserk with it. Nurse was actually really pissed, but since she hadn't started the test, I didn't get charged for the second night.

    I might try it again. Sometime. Have to get thru some other things first. And yes...I do understand better breathing and better sleep will help me.

    I saw Buttgig in a news conference say they will likely have to seek funding from Congress (aka taxpayer dollars) to replace the bridge.  I call BS on that, they can use some of that $1.2 trillion they just got a couple of years ago:

    "The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), aka Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021. The law authorizes $1.2 trillion for transportation and infrastructure spending with $550 billion of that figure going toward "new" investments and programs."

    Might be time to rethink all the Trillions we owe and the Billions we send out of this country every year! There's a limit. or should be, on how much we finance the rest of the world! It's long past time the United States should cut back on being the "sugar daddy" for the world!

    Biden said yesterday that he’d ridden a train over the bridge many times. I’ve never seen a train on an interstate bridge.

    What an idiot! Just because FJB says someting...we are supposed to think it's words of truth from God's mouth!

  5. Great pistol! I've owned(still do) several of the XD line. Actually like the grip safety that many complain about. It really helps you to understand  how to hold a pistol. And gives you training for 1911s! lol.

    I would go for this...but it really doesn't fill any "holes" in my small collection. At least for now.

    Someone needs to jump on this fast! Very good pistol at a Great price! Extra mags and leather holster as well! Can't beat this one!

    On Saturdays, I take my dog down to Lawrenceburg at Working Dogs for Vets for service dog training. This last Saturday, I decided to stop at their local gun store - Smith Gun Company - to see if they might have one of the new 6" Colt Pythons in stock - fat chance, I know - and I was surprised at the size of the store in a "small" town. They didn't have what I was looking for, but my eye caught sight of the most beautiful stock that I'd ever seen on a production rifle. This turned out to be a Winchester Model 70 in 6.5 Creedmore sitting atop a flame maple stock. I kid you not, this thing was so gorgeous that I asked the clerk to show it to me. Damn, I had to fight the urge to buy this rifle. What stopped me? I don't need a "long-distance" gun, and I have never messed with a Model 70 before. The deal-breaker was that it was so beautiful that I'd be afraid to shoot it, and I don't own weapons just to sit in the safe. At $1800, my wife was happy that I successfully resisted the urge to buy it.

     

    Understand oh so well how you felt! Many, many times have I done this. Now too old and decrepit to keep adding to the pile. I keep saying I'm selling. Actually have 8 on consignment at Belshire right now.

    Academy Sports use to have Tx 22 on sale sometimes.

    You know...I haven't been into an Academy store in a coon's age! Maybe I should go sometime.

    I sent my 738 TCP back to Taurus for a minor problem and they say it's unrepairable.  So that there's no hard feelings, they're giving me a credit on their webstore for about $100 more than I paid for it years ago.  🤩  

    My question for the group:  How do you guys like the TX22?

    I bought one first because it was cheaper than any other 22 plinker I could find. After couple mags...I was very impressed and happy with it! Now after a couple K rounds. I love it! Always in my range bag with 6 loaded mags and a Federal value pack. Great pistol! Looking for a steal/deal on another one!

    Might be hard for me to meet in the evenings.  You aren't available during the day are you?

     

    Actually, I'm retired and have no life. Just medical appointments. So a day meeting could be arranged.

  10. Dan! You juat had to be in Chattanooga! Would buy now. But between the wife and myself...any distance travel is impossible for the foreseeable future.

    I hate to be one of those that always ask the stupid question...but any chance you might be coming within 40/50 miles of Nashville soon enough to make a sale?

  11. Buddy, prayers for your recovery! 

    Recently turned 72. It sucks. Last few months really sucked! Pneumonia, RSV, Sepsis. Skyline. Life Care Rehab. Home Health and people who know what's better for you than you or your doctors do.

    Be careful and do the rehab work. Keep us informed. At least we can laugh at each other!
