I am sorry to hear your situation Bogus. I can only hope for the best for you. My wife is a Hospice volunteer, it's hard for the patient and hard for the volunteers. Please accept my regrets for you and your family.

I haven't bought any new guns yet this year but am keeping an eye out for a good used Ruger mini30. Gotta have a wood stock too I don't mind plastic pistols but not on rifles.

I learned a lot about water conditions and tidal effects. We always lived near the water in many different places, Seaview WA, Okinawa (now part of Japan), Ketchikan, Juneau and Kotezebue, Alaska. Lots of variations in currents, water temps, winds and tidal changes. For example at Ketchikan and...

As already mentioned, "Lucas the Prince of Darkness". I met him first with a '49 Triumph, my first bike, and made his acquaintance a second time later on when I bought a used 1957 MGA. That British pioneer electronics firm was a leader in how not to design electrical components.

I have 8 more days to my 78th birthday. Not holding up as well as I hoped but three bouts with pneumonia, surgery for cancer and kidney problems I'm just happy to still be around at all. Two daughters, three grandchildren two sons in law and all of us doing well is a great gift. In my younger...

Agreed!

It sure as hell ain't like it used to be. That's because either because it is or the fact that I've become an old curmudgeon, might be both.

I'm convinced it's the variety of crap teachers throw at kids these days. getting an answer to a simple problem using 'Common core'. What a load of crap. I left high school in my senior year so didn't have a full course of mathematics. I learned a goodly lot of it working as an electronic...

This topic makes me sad once again that I sold my S&W Model 29. I bought it brand new for $150 and sold it for $300 and thought I'd made a killing. Little did I know it was me.

Might be worth dyeing camo for that 'tactical' look or just leaving it original for that "tactile" look and feel.

Forget yeast, the best bread is sourdough. I have a starter first made by my mother in the 1920s, still works, we keep it working and use it often for bread and rolls. No bread tastes as good to me as sourdough. The one we have now is one my mother gave to me when I moved to Kotzebue. AK. It's...

A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little gray hair he had left. Amazing, he thought as he flew down I-94, pushing the pedal even more. Looking in his rear...

Probably a demoncrat!

So many innocent pleasures of youth gone... I showed some kids that in second grade I think it was. They may as well change the box because kids nowadays can't even carry a pocket knife. I had an Old Timer in my pocket before I joint Cub Scouts and ever since.

NICE!! I've never flow the Citabria (airbatiC) for the uninformed but have some time in the Chief and Champ. A friend of mine was always bragging Champ GCA 150hp was better than my Cub and we used have short distance take off and landing competitions. My Super Cub was better, he had more room in...
