Grew up in NW Ohio, went to school in NW Indiana, got recruited out of school to work in research at Xerox in Western NY. Spent 37 years there most were fun but not all. Xerox has been in a death spiral for about 20 years now. I took good advice when I was young and lived below my means, invested my money and was ready to jump ship from about the time I turned 55. Turned down the first 3 offers to retire early then jumped on the 4th at 57 with a year severance and bridged medical. My only big mistake was I hung around NY for almost 10 years in retirement before moving to TN. Fought the good fight with the state gun organization trying to make NY part of the US again, including a couple of marches on the Albany and lots of money, but decided I would rather enjoy life instead and just moved to the US instead. Been loving life here in NE TN for 2 years now. Went back to NY for a wedding and visit some friends and was reminded why I left over and over. Did get to shoot a round of sport clays with a friend. Use to shoot clays with this guy a couple of times a month and neither of us had shot sport clays since I left. My over and under 12g Biden special was the only gun I thought was safe to transport back to NY. When asked why TN I tell them - Less: Snow, Taxes, Government - More: BBQ, Bluegrass, Sunshine.

Another successful hunt. From the looks of the tires he had that car off road. Looks like maybe chains on the back tire.

Everything in factory boxes till I open it, then if it was loose ammo in the factory box I dump it in plastic tubes that I bought for the purpose. I put the end of the box in the tube to identify what is being stored.

I wasn't that concerned, just thought it was interesting. I have only had it happen twice in the many 1000s of rounds of .22 that I have shot. The other failure was some very old ammo I decided to shoot up, I'm guessing it was 60+ year old ammo. That was in an old single shot bolt Winchester and it actually threw some gunpowder out around the end of the bolt.

Yep Steve McQueen dressed for Wanted Dead or Alive show. He was also into racing so he may have been taking a break from the set.

Looked at this picture a bunch of times before I noticed the two squirrels hanging from the window above the hunter. Looks like they are jumping on him.

Yes the brass split. It expanded enough to jam in the chamber.

Had a Thunderbolt fail to eject from my Ruger Mk IV Monday (yea I know about the recall from Ruger but mine is shooting fine and I'm following the rules so will continue shooting it till the box shows up to send it back) and this is what I found when I pried it out.
