People Getting Stretched to Limit. Credit Card Balances Soar.
Grayfox54 replied to AuEagle's topic in General Chat
Depends on who your roommates are. Some are much better than others. My oldest son shared a house with a "friend" and his wife. They finally recently moved out. Thank God! -

The new owner will likely divide it up, build a bunch of houses and list at $250,000 or more each. -

People Getting Stretched to Limit. Credit Card Balances Soar.
Grayfox54 replied to AuEagle's topic in General Chat
When my younger son got married, he and his new bride went house hunting. They both have good jobs and the bank had already pre-approved a home loan. It took them over a year to find a house. Every time they found one they liked, those real estate corporations would swoop in and out bid them. Every single time! They finally had to go to a new subdivision 20 miles out of town and have a house built. So far they're managing, but I worry that it may prove more than they can really afford. There needs to be a law that single family dwellings can only be sold to single families. These corporations are raking in millions while screwing over people who actually need a home. -
Open the pictures in paint and reduce their size.

I'm also unhappy with the price of groceries these days. But I'm old, retired, live alone and financially secure. I don't like it, but I do just fine. For those who do struggle, the internet is plumb full of info on how to make every grocery dollar count. You won't eat fancy, but you will eat. But then some people refuse to substitute hamburger for steak. They're also real fond of fast food and restaurants . Much of their problem is in their own dietary habits and tastes. As for mortgages, then you hit upon one of my pet peeves. For individuals, the housing market sucks! Big real estate corporations are buying up single family dwellings all over the country. Often buying sight unseen and for thousands over asking prices. First time home buyers can't compete with that. Or worse, end up buying more house than they can actually afford because that's all there is out there. For many young couples, the dream of buying a home is just that, a dream. -
I'll be there!

Actually, it looks exactly like a stainless version of the 4th Issue Police Positive. Check my picture above. That's it on the bottom left. There's also a couple of Diamondbacks in that same pic. 4" .38 and a 6" .22. Yeah, I'd like to see Colt bring those back as well.

Thoughts on NRA, FPC, GOA, etc
Grayfox54 replied to JohnSutton1980's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
For years now the NRA has been sitting on their butts. A new restriction is proposed and they make a public statement denouncing it. Then they do nothing while other pro-2nd organizations actually do the fighting. If our side wins, they're the first to jump up and claim credit. The pistol brace ban is a glaring example. They never even filled a suit until it was a sure thing that we were going to win. Then, when it was struck down, the NRA was all over the news screaming "See what we did!". Just today I got a call from NRA about some new threat or another (Fund raising actually ). I cut the guy off and asked him if they were actually going to do anything about it. He paused not knowing what to say, so then I gave him an ear full! -
There are only 3 or 4 companies that make automotive batteries and they supply everybody. Just about all parts store batteries are the same. Just be sure to buy the best they have.

1934 Walther PPK High Polish Blue Refinish
Grayfox54 replied to David T's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Leave it alone. A re-finish would hurt that gun's value considerably. -
Good boots ain't cheap. They're well worth the price. Your feet will thank you. Check military surplus. Their boots are made for walking. And walking... and walking..... Also check into tennis shoes made specifically for walking. Cheaper and more comfortable. Plus, you don't need to break them in as much. I've got a pair of Vasque hiking shoes I bought back in 1988 when I was a Scout leader. Still have 'em and they're still in good shape. I can't even guess how many miles are on them. Whatever you buy, be sure to wear them daily and break them in good well before your trip. Otherwise, you'll end up with very sore and blistered feet. I've seen it happen too many times.

I never cared for derringers. They're just awkward to handle and cock for me. Too slow to get into action. I shot one once loaded with .38+p. Not an experience I want to repeat.

If Colt would chamber the new Anaconda in .45 Colt, I would absolutely buy one.
