The Original Old Farts Club

[Unca Walt]

I didn't care for my 4" Model 29 in 44 mag, because it caused me to start flinching shooting other rounds. It also shot out a huge fireball of burning powder, because the barrel is too short to burn it.

Nice eye pokers Big!

A 4" will burn about half the powder inside the barrel. On the plus side, any .44 Mag will sound like a 155 Howitzer to anyone in front of it. Doesn't matter all that much whether you hit or not. The shock wave will stop them and make them turn around.

Oh, dear. That triggers an old-old-old memory. Basic Training with the .45 -- We were told to lay down with our hands on the white stripe. The guy next to me paid no attention to that order. This was early Black Power time with attendant "I'm an individual" acts going around.

He laid down with his shoulders even with the white stripe. He was a full 18" forward of the guys on either side. And were were damn' near shoulder-to-shoulder.

We later found out that he thought he could do better by being closer to the target.

The range ossifer saw it, and let it ride. When the "Safeties off, commence firing!" command was given, I began shooting. The blast of my .45 dang near took the guy's head off. And the guy on the other side did the same. We fired until the pistol racked back, and the "Ground your weapons!" order was given.

The dude in the middle never fired his weapon. He was too dazed. Funny as heck.

Another Moanday. Sky is full of smoke from wild fires. Never used to see this but now it is the new normal. The west is slowly burning up from severe drought.

Gotta walk early cause it gets to hot mid day.

Have two plants 54 days in and gonna flush them today.One is a mimosa and first time for this strain. Looks like a keeper...if she smokes as good as she looks she just might make it into the starting line up. Hope so...I need some new blood.

Coffee is better today with a cool start to the day.

I'll tell ya one that surprised me. I bought a Tokarev .30 cal. The little bugger reminds me of my AMT Hardballer .45ACP in recoil and loudness.

yeah big, grey pvc is electrical pvc ... it's a denser polymer plastic compared to water pipe pvc ... and the depth of buried electrical lines of that voltage is 36 inches according to the NEC book, National Electrical Code handbook . .. yeah I bought the book thinking I wanted to get my State Master Electrician License and then found out it's all about politics in your local area and not your abilities ... in fact today in Texas there is no test to be a journeyman or master electrician , just pay monies and walk out with a license .

Damn right. (From personal experience).

Good morning

it takes some getting used to , growing old that is....I decided to play some golf , walk 9 holes yesterday , I made it through 7 and threw in the towel...prairie course , up and down and kindly hilly , tore me up , my partial hip replacement was barking bad

i am begrudgingly trying to accept the cold hard fact that I cannot do certain physical activities anymore and I do not like it one bit , I am really pissed off

i do not want to buy a golf cart , I do not want to use a cane , I do not want to use a walker , I do not this , I do not like that , I do like the cat in the hat

well feck me running , suck it up huh , only thing I want to suck is some coffee and some areola.....yeah , that libido still works and when it goes , maybe it’s time for me to go

End of Rant.
