FIELD REPORTS
  Danged tv show cliff hangers!
Posted by: tommag - 03-13-2024, 01:07 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

I'm not really a car guy, but I saw the show counting cars as I was looking through the channels. They saw a 1964 Galaxy r code in a driveway. Not restored, pretty much original in very nice shape. The cliffhanger was that the owner wasn't home and they left contact info with his wife.
They didn't mention the r code, but it was obvious to me. (427engine with 4 speed).
Like I said, I'm not really a car guy, but I really like the early 60s galaxies. I owned a 63 convertible with the 300 hp 390. It was the most beautiful car I've ever owned. It had the ford blue paint (kind of an aquamarine blue color) and I had the upholstery restored in white. I even had the upholstery buttons/logos restored. While I prefer the 63 or 63 1/2 body style, an r code 64 really got my attention!
Now I have to keep watching the darned show to see if there's any follow up on the 64.

  My thoughts on buckshot.
Posted by: tommag - 03-12-2024, 04:41 AM - Forum: Shotguns - Replies (13)

When I was in, 00buck was the standard load. I assume it still is. At home I was content with low base #7 1/2 because of over penetration concerns in walls. I figured the whole shot column hitting in a very small area would take care of things if needed. Later on I became friends with a guy who had massive scarring and a fair amount of missing muscle from 3 bird shot loads at close range. Hmm, there may be a problem with my choice
I'm under no illusion that buck shot is much good at longer ranges. During training we fired 00 at targets out to 50 yards with a cylinder bore. You can easily miss a silhouette at that range while putting shot all around it.
After thinking it over, I figured #4 buck might be a good compromise between over penetration and under penetration in a house.
I mentioned this to a good friend and former colleague a few months ago and he told me about a session he'd attended at his department, KCPD, featuring a speaker who is a renowned expert in the medical examiner field. He talked about multiple wounds causing a person to leak more from that than a smaller number of wounds from larger projectiles. The M.E.'s conclusion was that #4 buck was the best choice in a shotgun. That had never occurred to me but it makes sense. I've had a case of 3" #4buck for a few years now. As a civilian, I don't forsee barrior penetration (windshield, doors. etc.) as being an issue. Most likely a home invasion type scenario won't ever be an issue either, but you never know.
Of course, I have to add the standard disclaimer. I hope I'll never have a problem requiring such actions. Second, killing wouldn't be the desired outcome. Stopping a threat would be the desired outcome.
Anyway, there's my thoughts on the matter.

I used my debit card to pay for the membership fees.

The bank called me to see if my card had been stolen.

  in defense of trailer trash
Posted by: tommag - 03-10-2024, 07:24 AM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

I've owned a couple of houses but have lived in several trailer parks. I'm currently living in one now. Maybe I'm just lucky, but this is what I've experienced.
Most of us have a screw loose but are good people, over all. I had a neighbor that became a good friend. He thought the gov was wiping out his electronics with narrowly targeted emps. I managed to talk him off that ledge by explaining how that wasn't likely, probably wasn't possible. Eventually his demons got the better of him and he committed suicide. 
RIP, JD. 
Yep, he had some funny thoughts, but a more loyal ally couldn't be found anywhere.
We've had a few problems with thieves, and most have been handled in house. While that's not according to Hoyle it results in our park not being attractive to mopes. There have been occasional incidents where the authorities have been involved, but not many. On one event, the local PD MAY have witnessed an event and MAY have said "good job". I MAY have been involved in that.
Yep, we're pretty redneck here, but I like it that way.

  Modlight PLHv2

The oldest daughter has been having lots of funky stuff happening in her little town with European men saying they are from Ukraine & one even tried getting into one of her co workers car in a nice neighborhood on the way to work around 0530…

Daughter goes for a walk with her dog at night and has a small flashlight she takes but….

So I ordered her a new light with a couple extra rechargeable batteries 

She also carries a G19 and POM OC but figured a nice bright light can’t hurt 

Disgusting how unsafe rural America is getting
