Won't watch Apollo 13 until he's seen the first 12 prequels.

I won't have to wait for the next Stephen King novel after reading this hair-raising episode.   http://msmagazine.com/blog/2013/06/12/my-month-with-a-gun-week-one/

Wears short sleeved shirts as his way of supporting the Second Amendment.

  There's a 60-second cut on the production company's website.  I posted the director's cut.  It may have been an audition for the ad business.  It's certainly creative, nonetheless, but you can be certain it's for a limited market.

The dangest commercial I've ever seen.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myNzwTKCfO8    

My .38 Colt Detective Special likes flat pointed 158 gr. LSWC with Trail Boss and Red Dot.  The Ruger Blackhawk shooting the same bullet in .38 prefers Titegroup and AA2.  I haven't tried 158 RN yet, but I'm sure these powders will suffice.

Changed the undies.

Invested in real estate because his daddy said, "Get a lot while you're young."

Has yet to solve a Wheel of Fortune puzzle.

  Every now and then I get a bullet that will setback because of this.  Takes a bit more crimp.

So it ain't happening?

Reports are surfacing that NY is sending letters of  revocation to gun permit holders prescribed with certain anxiety drugs.  They're demanding the surrender of firearms as well.   http://www.ammoland.com/2013/04/new-york-gun-confiscation-underway/#axzz2WKM1hyBg

As long as the brass is serviceable (that is, no evidence of overpressure, cracks or deep knicks) you can reload it many times over.  Wall thickness will vary depending upon the manufacturer, but it doesn't really matter if it's all one brand or mixed.

It can't be because Gander Mountain undercuts them. 

Well, that settles that.  Now......outside carry or inside?

With so few left of these men who assaulted Fortress Europe on June 6, 1944, it leaves the responsibility of remembering D-Day to our generations.   http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/06/d_day_vet_we_made_a_difference   http://www.chillicothegazette.com/article/20130605/NEWS01/306050039/Remembering-D-Day-WWII-veteran-ranks-thin-those-who-remain-recall-invasion?nclick_check=1  

I have a doctor friend who doesn't have a lot of time to reload, but likes the idea of saving money and learning to do new things.  I let him use my reloading equipment and provide him with a cleaned, primed casing (which is about half the work of reloading).  He does his own powder measuring and bullet seating and reimburses me for the cost of the material plus a small prep fee.  In this way he does the actual ammo manufacturing and I escape the liability.   I did catch him accidentally double charging one case, so this method also saved him more than just money.

I believe much of the "hatred" or animosity towards reloading is based upon distrust and/or misinformation.  While we were looking for a handgun to purchase, one employee of a certain LGS adamantly and loudly told my wife and I that he "has never fired a reload in any of his guns and never will."  The first reason he gave was based upon truth.  "The firearms manufacturers will void the warranty of any gun that has been fired with reloads."  Of course.  The lawyers insist upon that.  Yet the second facet of his disdain was totally without merit.  "If you shoot a bad guy, even in self defense, with reloaded ammunition,"  he warned us, "you are going to jail."  I'm not a lawyer, nor did I spend last night at a Holiday Inn Express, but I do know that reloading in itself is not against the law.  Besides, anybody I hit with one of my anemic reloads should thank me that I didn't use one of the high-dollar boutique rounds that the manufacturer guarantees will kill and field dress him at the same time.   If I blow one of my guns up because I had a brain hiccup when assembling my ammo, I'll just swallow my pride and buy another gun.  I am much better able to afford it because I've saved a ton by carefully rolling my own firecrackers.

This story reminds me of the fairy tale, Cinderella. The nasty stepmother always gave her spoiled daughters the perks, leaving Cinderella with very little and all the hard work. Now why do you think that the House of Reps won't stop this piss-it-away spending spree?   http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/feds-torpedo-july-4th-over-sequestration/

  That looks like a great site, TMF.  I've got my bloodhounds on it

Thanks, guys.  Chickasaw and Pickwick want a least a week's rental.  That's too much for my wife's limited vacation allowance.  Standing Stone is a little too far for my relatives coming from Oklahoma, but it looks like a great weekend hideaway.  And I appreciate the offer of showing us the untrampled places at Chickasaw, jtmaze.  Perhaps we can spend a weekend there sometime, too.

At this late date, certain members of my family thought it would be a great idea to rent a cabin somewhere in Middle or West Tennessee during the 4th of July holiday.  I promised to ask for suggestions here, knowing full well that I may be laughed to scorn.  Can anyone recommend a reasonably nice place to stay for 6-8 people who are otherwise responsible and of good character?

It was good to see them back in stock.  S&S is pricey, especially on firearms, but I've bought primers and powder there between shows and a few targets. 

Four homegrown terrorists have been taken out with drones overseas and one in Boston.  But then Obama gave up four good Americans in Benghazi.  I don't for a minute cry over the deaths of American bad guys, but Obama's got to work on that protection strategy.
