Now that sounds fun! Very neat old gun, especially considering it has been passed down in your family.

All the thoughts and prayers are much appreciated. A couple complications have emerged, but we are praying that they remain minimal in impact. The first thing is that during the surgery my mom's bladder got nicked. This certainly makes things less comfortable but will hopefully just heal up with...

Well, after a bit of back and forth on whether she might wait on sugery, my mom went in today and so far everything has gone as well as we could expect. No hiccups during the actual surgery and she will be staying at the hospital for the night to make sure she is good to come home after that. It...

Anything car service related is always sideways in my experience. Sounds like you handled them, he he. Me and my dad do all of our car repairs ourselves because the mechanics we've encountered were incompetent, liars, or incompetent liars. We were replacing some strut bearings in our van but...

I have only visited North Carolina once, so I don't have any comments on hunting. I didn't like the vibe of the people I ran into much, but there are some gorgeous mountains over there.

I have a cat that refuses to believe she is old despite being 16 or so at this point. She still acts like she can do whatever she wants despite being slow to move around and completely deaf. She literally attacked another cat that started coming by my house just the other week like some sort of...

I used to see these all the time in Texas, but quite a bit less in Arkansas. They are one of my favorite hawks to spot. Excellent picture.

I'm sorry to hear that. I always enjoyed meeting older folks that could speak to a day and age that many people today would not feel familiar with. One of my neighbors is a elderly Vietnam verteran. He became a doctor and I believe was still practicing when we moved next door to him. In the 3...

I've wondered about the quality of Springfield 1911s. Nice to hear a good report on one.

I hope this won't become the new norm. I can't think of a single reason I would want to go beyond standard cartridge pressures for anything except special purposes. If I were to guess I doubt these will replace the current cartridge line up at a very fast rate, they will just add to the options...

Well some inclement weather rolled into southern Arkansas, nothing too extreme but enough to be keeping people off the roads. In addition my mom and dad both got sick with something, so my mom's sugery has gotten postponed until wthe weather clears up and they have recovered from whatever they...

That came out nice!

Every morning I say a prayer for your son in law and all the family involved. 🙏

I really like the look of Ruger American rifles, I would probably want one, but I have heard so many bad things about their magazine quality. Some of them you can just buy other brand magazines if they are AR or AI pattern, but I think the long action mags are all Ruger specific.

I think every Case knife needs one of those.

I love a DIY job that turns out nicely. Great work. (y)

I felt a little better hearing they had the laparoscopic option for this surgery. My mom was still slow to recover from the gallbladder surgery doing lapraroscopic because of other health problems, but it was probably much better than if it had been without.

Thank you all for the support. My mom came back yesterday with the news that she has her surgery scheduled for 2 weeks from now. God has blessed us with the first part, getting the surgery done as soon as possible, so we are very thankful for that. The doctors seem to have taken the situation as...

2025 was a rough year for my family, and 2026 is promising to be rough too so far. My mom has had numerous health problems for years of various different natures, but one of them has gotten so bad she will probably be looking at surgery in short order. This will be the second surgery for her in...

You know, I like that idea. Not as fun, but if I could find my package of thicker zip ties, they probably would have fixed the problem in all of a few seconds. Makes me wonder if some proper paracord tying could have done the trick too. Rope is not my strong suit, but I'm getting better with it.
