    Soon to be new owner of a classic S&W model 36 (chief's special)

    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...

    New/used truck... Woo-hoo... (finally got around to taking photos of it).

    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...

    Fireplaces and dogs (as soon as you light the fire -- the dog is right there, all cozy!)

    Sheesh... Anyone have ever have a dog that is so spoiled that he will lay down on his bed right there in front of the fireplace and WON'T MOVE! You literally have to step over him to tend the fire?!? Captured in the photo is my brindle colored Pitbull/Lab mix named Reggie. He is 2½ yrs old...

    What a surprise Christmas gift!!!

    Yes, yes, yes... 100% Totally legal here in Virginia. The "gifting" of a firearm amongst immediate family members. My sister and I both double checked the laws. Anyway, my sister wanted to pass onto me my (late) brother-in-law's Bushmaster XM15-e2s (aka AR-15) rifle. Four 30 round mags...

    Reloading .308 rifle? Could someone check my math?

    Confession: I have nothing.... No equipment, no press, no dies, no anything at all. But at least I DO have the giant Speer manual that I bought a while back (still has current data). I was on Midsouth Shooter's Supply (Midway USA is too expensive), and looked up this, looked up that, and...

    Post a photo of your 4 legged friend...

    This is my 2 yr old Pitbull/Lab/"something" mix named Reggie. He is a hell of a dog, very smart, but is 100% flat out, balls to the wall, high energy.... The caption in this photo says: "Hi, how ya doing? I'm Reggie, and this is MY f----ng lawn chair!!" :D Believe me... When my wife Margaret...

    For all the Grandpa's out there...

    Here's something way Off Topic, but then, it's very special and very heartwarming... This is my 7 month old granddaughter Brienne. This afternoon, I actually had to go to my daughter & son-in-law's house and take care of her, as my son-in-law was at work, and my daughter (a 4th grade teacher -...

    I call this photo "The Holy Trinity"....

    I wonder if I posted my firearms photo on social media (Facebook) whether I'd get kicked off for 1 week, or maybe liberal heads would explode! Nothing fancy, nothing "scary". Each one serves a useful purpose, and each one has thousands of rounds fired from them!

    New Avatar of my newest baby granddaughter! (at USMC Camp Lejeune, NC)

    For all military veterans, and/or anyone who has visited the USMC Base, Camp Lejeune, in North Carolina... The place is MASSIVE! I don't what it is about the Marines, but they have the best stuff! Man, they have rifle ranges out to 800 meters or something like that (whatever my son-in-law and...

    I want the life that my dog lives! LOL!!

    Here it is, all day today, 25°... snow, sleet, back to snow, everything will freeze into a skating rink overnight. I made a fire in the fireplace and where was my dog Reggie? Laying on his dog bed near the hearth, and never moved. Well, he got up a few times when I went to stir the Venison Stew...

    Laser target app, iTargetPro finally updated/fixed....

    For those who have the really cool laser beam target system (and smartphone app) for iTargetPro. We all know how it has been buggy ever since last year and had some serious issues from a "patch" that they did. Well, the makers in iTargetPro corrected the issue, released a new updated version...

    Veterans Day on my school bus, yesterday!

    Check it out... I just barely squeezed back into my old USCG uniform and drove my school bus in honor of Veterans Day yesterday. All the kids loved it, the schools loved it, and parents at the bus stops (for the little elementary school kids) loved it as well. This photo was taken at one of my...

    Anyone seen this from Fairfax, VA school board (...bunch of "Karens")

    Good God, you have to read this about what a school board in Fairfax, VA wants to do with "banning firearms" and going as far as asking kids to turn in their parents. SERIOUSLY?!? :rolleyes: :mad...

    New dog (Plott Hound, Pit Bull/Lab mix)

    Well, yesterday, my wife and I found a nice 1yr old male dog named "Reggie" at the local SPCA in town. As seen in the title of this thread, he is (according to the SPCA) 1/2 purebred Plott Hound, 1/4 Pit Bull, and maybe 1/4 Labrador Retriever. He's awesome, very friendly, and instantly bonded...

    Smoked Salmon on a Weber Kettle (Mmmmmm... can you smell this?)

    For all you BBQ fans out there, I am a firm believer in charcoal and the classic, iconic, Weber Kettle BBQ grill. My wife found an incredible seasoning recipe for Smoked Salmon on a cedar plank, and I got the Weber Kettle going with the charcoal chimney gizmo. Close the vents and let it "get...

    Any motorcyclists on here?

    I posted this on Facebook, and also on the main Honda Shadow internet forum: "Can you believe the temperature? It hit an incredible 79° earlier this afternoon, here in Richmond, VA. I got out my beloved 2007 Honda Shadow 750 motorcycle, and washed her and polished her all up. Shining pretty as...

    Ammo prices... 2017 vs 2021 (today... right now)

    I used Photoshop and cut 'n pasted some screen print images together and have the detailed prices also listed from Georgia Arms (the gun show ammo company). I was at RIR (Richmond Raceway) back in 2017 and bought some basic 230gr FMJ "GI ball" ammo for target shooting. You know... pffffftttt...
