    Hello again!

    Thanks everyone for the welcome back. I surely miss those days when I was working 3rd shift and getting home at 7am and being on the water fishing by 7:30. 2 hrs of nice quiet time before the tow boaters came out. There was always that one guy that just loved to buzz and harass me. He's come...

    Hello again!

    Wow, can't believe it has been so long. Looks like 6 years!! Yikes. Back then about that time I had a life changing event that led to a triple bypass. Long recovery and a fear of being on the boat by myself as I would always do. Because of the heart disease it caused a couple changes in jobs and...

    How life changes one

    I know from previous conversations that many here also do some shooting and I have rekindled the interest and even got the wife involved. So far she is enjoying it and becoming a pretty good shot. Thus all pretty much came about as a result of all the trips and extended stays I had been making...

    Holy Molly

    Hello again everyone. Yes I am still alive, barely. It's been a horrible year but I'm hoping for a much better next year. Quick update about me and what has happened since I was last here.

    Photobucket

    So what is everyone doing now that photobucket has changed their Terms of Use? No more 3rd party image hosting!! I had a lot of pictures on here that are now gone and I refuse to pay them a ransom of $400.00 a year for their service.

    Hope to be back!

    Just got home yesterday from another hospital stay that was supposed to be done last month. They did another surgery on my legs and so far there has been much improvement. Much of the pain has been relieved and I'm much more mobile. Now to regain my strength and now that it's warming up soon...

    Hope everyone is well.

    Been awhile, see some major changes since last visit. Really feel out of touch. Been a long slow summer and not much has changed other than been back in the hospital twice since I last visited. The July trip was rough but I did get my 1st helicopter ride.. Then on Labor Day my wife splurged and...

    Seasons done.

    It never even got started this year. With the 2 minor heart attacks since Jan., the last being just a few weeks ago I just had a follow-up today and left disappointed. This time they found and showed me 4 more areas that are occluded but not bad enough to stent. Didn't mention anything about a...

    New toy that goes bang

    So I finally found a nice pistol to take up the sport again and just received it today. It's a Taurus PT92C that I'd found on a web site and got it for a pretty good price in my opinion. From what I've found on Taurus website the gun was manf. in Jan 1997 yet it looks as if it's never been...

    Visit a gun show?

    I haven't been to one in 30+ years and don't know what to expect or how to find a good one. I know there are a lot of shooters among our members so let's hear you stories or advice. I'm still looking for a handgun to be used for home defense and general plinking. So a nice used model will do. I...

    Reloading presses for pistol

    Many have participated in my other gun topic and I appreciate feedback. Now for the next question. Reloading presses. Long ago I used to reload for pistol calibers and enjoyed it tremendously. Back then I did it the hard and long way with a single stage press, dippers & scale. So thinking that...

    home defense gun choices?

    I know that I see topics brought up here on occasion about guns and such and know there are a good number of members that own them. So I'm looking for thoughts and advice. Many years ago I used to own and did a lot of pistol shooting, was even doing my own reloading. I enjoyed it then and had a...
