  1. Right now I'm just looking for some good range ammo to shoot.
  2. I'm trying to buy some .308 ammo for my SFAR. I'm always looking for a deal and know a lot of the sites to check. A lot of the vendors are selling cheaper ammo made by companies I have never heard of (Bullets 1st, Igman, Veterans Ammo) and some from overseas makers (GGG). But seeing Brat's picture of the split in half .357 makes me nervous about buying from a manufacturer I'm not familiar with. Does anyone have any insight or sources that list the quality of ammo offered? Other than social media, which is too easily manipulated.
  3. Hey, this thread is for AI, not real photography.
  4. All the gun deals and Walther talk helped me remember this (they have some good Walther deals right now). If not allowed I'll take it down. A friend of mine is GM for this company: https://www.cdnnsports.com . At one time they were the largest firearms accessory dealer in the country. The owner has contacts all over the world and has a keen sense of what's coming concerning firearms. He will list some unbelievable deals to stay ahead of the curve if he thinks he'll get hung with inventory. All firearms must go through an FFL but accessories are shipped straight to you. And you might catch him selling one of his .45/70 gatling guns (they're legal to own) if you have an extra 18K laying around.
  5. I read that originally Brando was supposed to be in special forces shape (or at least thin) to fit the role. But he showed up at the filming 90 lbs overweight and he never read the script or the book Heart of Darkness. Coppola knew how difficult Brando was to work with so instead of fighting him on it, he decided to film it with him in black clothes and in the shadows. It worked.
  6. Blind date saw the original cut at the theater. I watched Redux last night. And after watching it again I realized it would be best seen on the big screen.
  7. Watching Apocalypse Now. I took a blind date to see it when it first came out. I learned it wasn't a first date/chick movie.
  8. You forgot to mention being activated by 5G cell tower.
  9. Yeah, I worked with a woman like that. She was always dating married men or guys 20+ years younger than her. I think she loved the thought of stealing someone's husband and the power it gave her. A friend of mine left his wife for her and she dropped him immediately. She loved to tell other women she stole their man. And if you pulled the fake wedding ring trick on her, I have no doubt that she would stalk you until you were really married and then call your wife up and lie through her teeth about you cheating with her.
  10. Working with that many aggys causes minor dain bramage.
  11. In the 80's I worked for an industrial supply company that was about 75% (red ass) aggy upper management, including several football players. The group think was unbelievable. Once we got an aggy president and ceo, the sales trajectory looked like the aggy rollercoaster in October. It took them about 8 years to destroy a 90 year old company. You might have the unicorn that can run a company. But if he starts bringing in other aggy's, you're toast.
  12. This is the year! A&M's rebuilt culture apparent as rejuvenated stars shine in spring game https://texags.com/s/58889/ams-rebuilt-culture-apparent-as-rejuvenated-stars-shine-in-spring-game
  13. Probably more appropriate in the divorce thread. https://www.facebook.com/100001418231846/videos/389481157248930
  14. I've looked on Amazon but so far no luck.
  15. Is pale grants another way of saying under the table payments by old Bama grads?
  16. Mine too. I offered to but her nicer purses (Kate Spade, Coach) for gifts but she says she won't spend more than $20 for a purse. And she buys one once every 2 or 3 years. But shoes are a different story. She doesn't buy anything expensive but she has more than she can ever wear. 2 hanging racks in her closet and a 3 layer shoe shelf next to the bed. I have 2 pair of dress shoes, a pair of steel toed boots, 1 pair of hiking boots and 2 pair of tennis shoes. Newest purchase was a couple of years ago. On another note, we had our 41st anniversary last week. I bought her roses and offered to take her out to dinner and go look for a gift. She said she wanted to stay home because there were TV 2 shows she wanted to watch. So she watched her shows and FB videos. She never got out of her chair that evening, so I handed her a card while she watched TV. I never got her a gift but she got me a hoe. And not the fun kind. Who says romance is dead?
  17. I tried to get a picture of all the trash and used cars that GOD must have thrown over the edge that landed here too. But I didn't have time.
  18. Oh, he is a registered sex offender. I'm pretty sure that's why he has them. He's rated low on their recidivism radar and was convicted in an online police sting.

    Getting old sucks

    My wife turned 65 last year and got on Medicare. She's been having back problems (inherited from her dad) and pain in her hips. She made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon who took Medicare patients. He took x-rays of her hips and told her she was bone on bone in her hips and that she needed double hip replacement. When she ask him about options, he told her there were none and to come schedule an appointment when the pain became unbearable. He refused to talk to her about her back and said she needed to make another appointment. I told her that was BS and she needed to get a second opinion. She saw my surgeon who took an MRI. The surgeon said her hips were fine with no problems. She once worked in a surgeons office and could see there was nothing wrong with them. She had 2 bulging disc and arthritis in her back. No surgery needed, just pain management and exercise. How can two professionals be so far off in their diagnosis? I'm convinced the first one really didn't care and went in with a preconceived notion based on her age and insurance. I'd like to raise hell but she just wants to forget about it. It just pisses me off that he wouldn't listen to her, blew her off and said when it starts hurting to much, come back and we'll cut.
  20. I had read that he was doing some sketchy stuff. But, unless he was about to run, I don't understand why they just didn't get him at his desk, the parking lot at work or just pull him over at the end of the street. Predawn kicking in the door of someone who keeps firearms is probably not going to end peacefully.
  21. A month ago my wife took on a part-time job working for an estate sale company. After 2 estate sales we are in the hole, because she has bought more than she earned. "We need this dining room set for 8 in case our family shows up at the same time for dinner". Which has never happened in 30 years. And "I couldn't pass up on this bookcase, it was so cheap". Now all I need to do is build new walls in the house so we have a place to put it or clean out her room of teaching supplies which she "stored" 7 years ago after retiring from teaching.
  22. My ex-BIL was arrested in FAR west Texas in the 80's for DWI. He contacted a local attorney who told him that he could handle the case for $10,000. My BIL ask him how he was going to handle it. The attorney said just give him $10,000 and don't ask any questions. It magically all disappeared.
