So gun nuts', do anything special when a firearm follows you home before taking it to the range or field. Used the rest of my windfall money to order a Ruger SR1911 I picked up today and put it through my pre-range routine before heading out on Friday for break in before my IDPA match on...

Just finished a bowl of CH in the BIG PIPE. Not what I was expecting, but I like it. Not my island smoke, but wouldn't yell too much if it was all I had.

Life has ups and downs, hold what you got till the pendulum swings back your direction. Simper fi

I've known my wife since we were fifteen years old. We started as friends, then good friends and finally best friends. After high school, she went to college and I went in to the Marines as a couple. Four years of being apart had ups and downs but we made it through. Married at 25 and picked...

I was there man, after years in trenches my reward was a swift kick in the butt on the way out the door. If you want a glimpse into the other side visit HERE

You just described my old English department. The upside is that most of the teachers that have shortcomings in public speaking are generally really tough on grammar, syntax, and punctuation. You should have mastered that in high school (not that many do in this day and age). One tip for...

Go to one of the HVAC supply stores in your area and ask for a browing V belt. HVAC V belts are built a little tougher than what you might find in other places because they are designed to handle a higher torque range than a automotive or lawn equipment type. I've used V belts from a auto...

I'm no proletarian. I just try, to get by.

In which do you find yourself more often? For me, defiantly TAD. Brought in 9lbs the other day, but probably have another 10lbs of tinned stuff on the shelf (I go kinda nuts in the B&M around here). My last PAD was a sack of rejects from MM. Nothing but Dr G's and cobs in my brace. What...

So at the beginning of the semester I was told that my program (A very large Commercial Heating and Air Conditioning trade school) was cutting back and I was part if the solution. Since I'm on a contractual basis, the school just didn't renew my contract and I'm out of a job. But not really...

Looks like a mini saxaphone. Sling a neck strap and play "smoke on the water."

I know I'm the new guy so take everything with grain of salt. Having bought and worked on the majority of 1911s models produced, for myself and for fellows that compete in IDPA/USPSA/3Gun I have gleaned some knowledge on this style of pistol. The 1911 is not for everyone, most folks either...

Hello gents Short time resident of NC but long time fan of good smoke. I started my love affair with a pouch of NC homemade backy and a Dr Grabow duke bought while on leave from Jacksonville. I teach HVAC at a local CC and tinker with all manner of mechanical mysteries. Right now my main...
