Bartlett. Its on the NE corner of Memphis.

My late wife was a big Nascar fan. I've decided to sell off her collection. Most of this stuff is from the mid-2000s. Her "Boy" was Elliot Sadler when he was driving the #38 M&Ms car. So most of this stuff pertains to him. Collection contains: 9 die-cast vehicles all still in original boxes. 19 smaller "Hot Wheels" type cars. 10 hats of various brands. Mostly NAPA Various cups, mugs, lunch box, bottle coozy and odds and ends. Make me an offer.

Yep, The Hi-Power is my favorite 9mm pistol. I was hurt when Browning quit making them. But it seems that many others are stepping up to the plate. As for the Inglis, I'll take a good look. But doubt I'll buy. After all, I already have 5 variations of the Hi-Power as it is.

Starting at about 8:30 tonight, my neighborhood sounded like a war zone for a couple of hours! It was great!

Very valid point. Much more fun than just punching holes in paper. I have some spinners that are a blast to shoot.

Nothing wrong with a good old Marlin Model 60. Used ones aren't expensive and they're great shooters. Rossi makes a sweet little copy of the Winchester 62 pump gun. Mine and a set of spinners makes for a really fun day. Henry makes several lever guns in .22 and they aren't pricey. Any one of which would serve your needs well.

PM sent.

A friend of mine used to carry a little Ruger LCP in his bib pocket.

I saw that movie and frankly, I didn't pay much attention to where people got shot. Why did y'all notice? I guess now that when I see it again, I'll be paying attention. Its all your fault. I always kinda liked Will Smith. Not a huge fan, but he was acceptable. But now he's shown the world who he really is and its probably killed his career. I really don't care. As for Sondra Locke, her career began when she was dating Clint Eastwood and he put her in his movies. It ended as soon as they broke up. No big loss.

I put a lot of the blame on the parents and the liberal education system. Kids are being taught that life should be fair and everybody is entitled to a good life. When it doesn't work out that way, they can't handle it. Some take out their frustrations with violence and others just go nuts.

We don't have a "gun" violence problem. We have a violence problem. The gun is just the preferred weapon of choice. Mental illness has reached epidemic proportions and young people place no value on human life. Thus you have people trying to settle small disputes by shooting each other. Put the blame where it really belongs.

I spent most of my career working in fleets. I've seen and worked on just about every brand of pick-up made. Nothing holds up better than a Ford. GMC/Chevy is pretty good. Ram is a piece of junk. Frankly, with all the government mandated emission garbage they're forced to hang on them, nobody has a good diesel anymore. None of them hold up well and cost a fortune to repair. One look under the hood will scare the poop outta ya. If I was in the market for a good, hard working diesel truck, I'd look for an older Ford 350/450 with the 7.3 diesel engine. Even if you had to rebuild it from the ground up, you'd have a better truck than anything they sell these days.

They can't offer fair value because they have to resell at a profit. As mentioned, they also have overhead to consider. Generally, a FFL might give half of what they gun is actually worth. No laws against sales between private citizens in Tennessee. People do it all the time. I would suggest that you and buyer fill out a bill of sale just in the rare case that questions might be asked.

A couple more reasons I don't go to the theater much anymore. I can't have popcorn due to Diverticulitis and at my age, its hard to sit for 2 hours without needing to pee. Especially if I get a drink.

My local theater (20 screens) has survived by being one of very few ( maybe the only one) in the Memphis area to show Hindi/Bollywood movies along with some classics. Right now they have 3 Indian movies and "Coming Soon" they have The Never Ending Story, Rear Window and Blazing Saddles. Hey, whatever it takes to stay alive.

When I retired, I used to go quite often when something good came out. I usually enjoy the big screen experience. I'd go to the first show in the middle of the week. Rarely more than 5 or 6 of us there. But frankly, the last few years there hasn't been much that I can't wait for it to stream. Not a damned thing I'm willing to spend money on.

The man is a racing legend. But he's 75! He shoulda retired a long time ago. Anyway, I wish him well.
