36 more school days, and then I am officially RETIRED! Yes, yes, everyone... Enough is enough, after 12 years driving a school bus. I'm am throwing in the towel and retiring. I just can't do this anymore, if you know what I mean. Kids (even tiny little 2nd grade elementary school kids!) are...

Welcome from Virginia. My first introduction to the famous 1911 was back in USCG bootcamp in the late 70's in Cape May, NJ. The variation I was given, was old, beatup, and rattled, shook, and made me fear that it would fall apart in my hand! But that wasn't the case.... I relaxed, calmed...

As much as I absolutely love my full size Rock Island 1911 .45 ACP in an Uncle Mike's shoulder holster, I find that stashing my newly acquired S&W Mod 36 .38spl snubby, is much more convenient. Hmmm... I wonder if I could/should carry both, or is that considered overkill?

I stopped into Cabela's earlier this morning (one last little Christmas gift for the wife...) Anyway, while I was in there, I decided to check out the ammo aisles and shelves. Not as bad as all that COVID nonsense, where everyone totally wigged out, and bought anything and everything they...

Update: I stopped at Cabela's this morning, after I was done with my morning school bus runs (yes, yes, not only am I a retired "Coastie", but I drive a school bus for the county public schools - next year will mark 12 years!) I grabbed a small, storage/carrying case, and a box of Hornady...

Ha ha... I know.... I think it will be hers!

IT'S A DONE DEAL!!!! :D The local FFL dealer here in town called me and said it arrived safe and sound. They checked it all over and were amazed at it's condition for 1972. It was most definitely some LEO's backup piece down in Florida for years and years, until they phased them out. The...

How cool is this? I have been checking out www.gunbroker.com every so often, just to see what the current market is saying. Then, for some reason, I ended up in the revolver section, and small snubbies, etc... I found a beautiful 1972 (as per the serial#) S&W model 36 (Chief's Special) for a...

The only former president (notice the lower case "p") who decided to set race relations, back to around 70, 80, years ago.

Finally got around to uploading a photo from Halloween, of my GMC Canyon backed into their (short) driveway. My daughter was upstairs, trying to get the grandkids to put on their costumes, and get ready for trick-or-treating. My son-in-law (out of the picture on the right) and I were sitting out...

Update... Update... I got back home late yesterday afternoon, after spending a few days down at the off-base housing units near the USMC Base & Recruit Depot Parris Island. I was visiting my daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids (5 yr old & 2 yr old toddler). Edit: the 2 yr old (10 mos back then)...

Thanks.... It's hilarious when you look at the CD rack by the entertainment center. Margaret's CD's absolutely cannot be associated with mine. She's all into that Carpenters, John Denver, mellow early 70's soft rock. My stuff is all Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc...

Goodbye to my old 2012 Ford Escape SUV, with just over 112,000 miles. It was time. It was showing its age, and the overhead sunroof was starting to leak during a downpour. Say "Hello" to my new/used 2017 GMC Canyon extended cab pickup truck! V6, leather seats, SiriusXM, backup camera, and the...

Biden has spent 40+ years, accomplishing NOTHING. Just a basic, worthless, POS. Let's get right down to the nitty gritty... You all know who is running the show.... Come on now... THINK!! Obama has full control over brain dead, dementia diddled, "Slow Joe". George Soros has been funding it...

+1 That's one of the main reasons why I don't post on TOOS as often as I used to. Mods/Admin will randomly close threads just because they want to close threads. "This topic as run its course - case closed. Thread locked". People were like, "wait a minute... we still have valid points to...

Let's go back a generation to the late, great, Charlie Daniels. He said it first:

My son-in-law GAVE ME his old Canon EOS 2000 35mm SLR film camera, as he didn't want it anymore. It's still a good camera, 3 different lenses, a couple of filters, etc... But trying to get film developed is another story. I have an ancient Canon AE-1 in the closet, that hasn't seen the light...
