  1. I carry a P7M8 regularly. I have prepaid for the new M13. Expecting delivery in a couple of months.
  2. Like way high end? Double Stack Chambers, Charyn, Mercier, Atlas, Hayes, Accuracy X and Infinity. Hard to get double stack high end .45 Single stack old school .45 Jason Burton, Ted Yost, Chuck Rogers, Stan Chen(never heard of one changing hands), Volkmann, Cabot
  3. Breck owner. Make the trip by car several times per year. Austin to Trinidad is 11 hours for us. New Hilton Gardens hotel at the main exit. Decent pub food next door and there is a bar in the hotel. It is 4ish hours to Breck via 9, 24, or 470/70. On the turnaround, it is 11 hours from Breck to Sweetwater. New La Quinta there and a Whataburger across the interstate. 4ish hours home via 183 or 71 next morning. Breaking it up works best for us. No kids, no dogs.

    Grandkids

    Less than 30 day countdown for us to have our first. Can't wait. Grandmas to be are busier than bees getting things ready. It is the best time in life.
  5. I can also vouch for Heinrich. He did both of my hips in 2008. 10 days apart. Super easy, back when the anterior approach was newish. Over16 years ago. Never had any trouble. Still playing tennis tournaments, pickleball tournaments, skiing, mountain bikes , etc.
  6. On a side note: Shot at a shooting range this past summer with Jeffrey Donovan. He is one the main characters in the movies. He is a gun guy and can run a Staccato XC very well. Nice guy and we had an afternoon of blasting away and trading Staccatos to shoot.
  7. Did the 500 rule Christmas day. Very easy and worked perfectly. Used mustard as a binder and coated heavy with coarse sea salt and black pepper on 4 rib roast. Heated oven to 500 degrees. Cooked at 500 degrees for 30 minutes. Turned off oven and did not open for 2 hours. Watched temp probe and at 2 hours, was a perfect 130 degrees. Pulled, rested for 30 minutes and then slice/serve. Family ate every bite. Will do again.
  8. At my house it is The Holiday followed by Die Hard on Christmas Day. Neither one made the bracket. I’ll stick with what we are watching.
  9. I’m not an expert but they are less expensive because of bracelets/cases were not solid gold. When Rolex changed to 118 series there is a noticeable difference in weight. Not sure about movement. It may have been updated. I have both and can only tell the difference in weight.
  10. I have Blue Cruise on the f150. It does ok on the interstate if the road is fairly straight. It takes the apex of a curve differently than I do. It passes cars/big rigs too close in my opinion. No traffic on I 25 last week in Colorado and it did pretty well for a couple hundred miles.
  11. I have the same OG MKII Target. Has to be 40 years old now. It is ridiculously accurate. Spent many afternoons shooting skeet from a portable thrower. Stand behind the thrower and once you get the arc down, it is not that hard to hit them.
  12. I put this up over on the gun lovers thread but I am also a watch fanatic. Cartier Santos - Stacatto CS24 President 118208 - custom 1911 Citizen Pro Diver- custom Gen 5 19
  13. I got it 6 months ago. It is very accurate, eats everything, points naturally, 16 round mags and conceals well in an AIWB holster. I am taking it out to Florence to have them redo the trigger. It is 3.5 lbs on my gauge but has a good bit of "scrunchy" take up. They can upgrade ignition kit and change the take up. I think it has a lot of upside and I will get faste with more practice. If it can beat the 19, that is saying something. The Gen 5 19 that I had Cline Tactical build is a machine. Sub 2 second draw speed, .25 splits and has never missed a beat in 1000s of rounds. Hardly ever clean it, just drop of oil on slide, barrel, hood, etc..every 500 rounds.
  14. It is by far the easiest 2011/1911 takedown that I have ever had.
  15. It is CS24
