Model 1890? I use to collect Winchester firearms and other Winchester items too. Again with my FIL. I later sold most of my guns but still have many Winchester items. I have my Grandfather's old Model 94 30/30 that he used while living on Kodiak Island, AK and my wife has many of my FIL Winchesters. Awesome that you all still have that gun in the family.
I think so.

I also have a model 94 30/30. It was bought in 1964 and has had one box of shells put through it.

Good Morning D

May 1st already. 68° with clear skies and no chance of rain today. It will climb to 79° by this afternoon. The winds have calmed down. They were really refreshing over the weekend and steady with gusts.

Trust all are well and have a good day. We get some strange ones down here. But they spend their money and most go back up North

Sir,

I could have went all day without seeing that!
 
Good morning everyone.

A little cool and windy this morning so skipping out on the turkey hunting and hoping to get rested up a little. And maybe get some things done around here....maybe. It's good to be retired.

Not your typical ginseng plant. 5 prong (which are rare) with 7, 7, 6, 5 & 5 leaves on the prongs. Most full grown plants will have 5 leaves/prong and usually only have 4 prongs. As with most everything there are exceptions. This pic is in July and the berry pod in the center won't be full and red until the end of Aug-early Sept.

My FIL had a nice patch (passed away in 97) and about 15 years ago I caught one of my old neighbors digging it. He was lucky I didn't put him in his grave a decade early. I became a more reasonable milder man that day (to my surprise). It just wasn't worth it. That patch of "seng" was my lasting connection to my FIL.

This turkey season I've seen some nice patches of yellowroot (we dug them decades ago) and some ginseng that has started to come up. It got me in the mood to dig some again....we'll see.

I hope everyone has a great day.

A real shame when you can't trust your neighbor... (Of course around here......) A healthy wave now and again but...
 
Hello,

Just sat down...

I feel like Jerry Clower when he was growing up before a coon hunt....

I got off work, ate a bite, played with the BB a few minutes. Loaded up the trunk of my car with tools and what not and headed to my youngest daughters house about 30 minutes after she left for work...This particular day I wasn't to busy.. Just took my cordless leaf blower and blew out my daughters garage, up packed the new garage door opener (The wireless kind) took the old one off as all you had to do was press it and it would open the door.) Put the new wireless keypad on the garage door post, screwed it in good. Took the new remote that come with it and programmed both of those and tried it out again later to be sure all worked. Then I sprayed the garage and outside front of the house for ants. (To get rid of them, not to draw them. ;)) Then I went inside, checked things out, brought my small step ladder and put that up so I could change her hallway bulb and got that working. Sprayed upstairs for ants. (To get rid of them.)(Used to be in that business and kept some equipment for medicinal killing purposes, for just my family or close friends bugs.)

Then I checked her new Ring Video/ doorbell I installed about two weeks ago but she hadn't never taken her battery off the charger so I couldn't do that because she had to program it. THEN I took a think and thought to check her furnace filter. (I always check my daughters furnace filters...) The result of what I found was below...At least she listened to me and bought some new ones but I had to push it up to and in the furnace hole to where it fit and it worked! I guess next time I will tell her to change the filter and not just buy some...

Anyway, I went around back and sprayed a little on her deck but it was about dark and I couldn't see to well, so I packed up, picked up, threw some more garbage in my daughters half empty garbage can to where it was full, and brought some candy home my daughter bought for her son's teacher, and came home... (All in my best Jerry Clower voice...)

Now here's the part I didn't do after the work but I wanted to...





HA, I have to apologize about the rant yesterday about people talking too much, saying too much to say too little. 😁

Good morning D-League

It is currently 67° with clear skies and no rain in sight. The high will reach 81°. I am going to take advantage of the weather and clean and seal our travertine around the pool deck and lanai. Sand will be used to level it all out before the sealer. So I am praying for no rain for the next 24 hours.

I trust all are well and in good spirits.

Shopping while drinking is a new concept on me. With the way some folks act down here, I am not sure if this is a good idea. But Publix must have a reason

Good morning all,

Working from the house today. I am thankful. We shall see where this day leads.

Have the electrician coming over to see if he can trace down the electric issue that is still tripping the breaker when My Darling sleeps with her heating pad. Never an issue previously. All our devices are new and were used prior to moving here with no issues...

Do they have a courtesy ride home for people who drink too much or do they have limits on the amount one can drink with each visit. Also, are the drinks complimentary?

Thirsty consumers need to know.

MORNING LEGIONNAIRES!

49° This morning with light winds. Mid 70's expected with sunny skies. Need to take advantage and cut the grass because I have not in about a week and a half and there is rain in the forecast for the next week or so.

Oral surgeon said the area he placed implants in has healed well and we will give it time for the bone to grow around them. Late July he will put the abutments on them and then my dentist will put the fake teeth on them. It's a process that I will do again for the other side after this one. Have two teeth on the left that need to be removed and replaced. Hopefully they can last until then.

I have two ball games tonight so a pretty full day starting with a workout this morning, walking the monster, meeting with daughter's teacher (on line) around noon, cutting the grass (early afternoon) and then rest before game time. Should sleep good tonight.

You folks enjoy your day and God Bless.

It was common to see kids come to school like that back in the day.
I took many a gun into schools (churches, courthouses, community centers, etc too)...sometimes 1/2 dozen or so at a time. No incidents and no one said a word, at least to my face. I coordinated/supervised the Hunter Education program in the eastern 1/4- 1/2 of the state. 34 years w/ Dept. of Fish and Wildlife.
 
Yeah in a place like that I could become a shopaholic....
The local word is they have case upon case of Bud Lite in their warehouses and can't sell it. So they might ice it down and let customers pop a top on the house. They may have a problem giving it away. Several bars in town don't carry that product anymore.

Yes Sir,

Saw a headline this morning Bud sales down 26%. That means nearing 50%... Go ahead, go woke, go broke... That should be the American mantra...

My local kroger store here in ohio has a bar plus booth seating, wine, bottle beer, ten beers on tap, and live music.
 

Have to laugh at the dumb and stupid Sir. I wouldn't drink a free one knowing what I know now and I have had my fair share of Bud products... still would if not for...
 
HA, at least I know I am not hooked... I have that going for me....🙏
The son in law was in for a visit a while back. He brought a case of Miller Lite and left about half of it. I drank one with supper the other day. First in many many years. Surprised me that I didn't even like the taste. I reckon that was a good thing because I used to drink way to much.
 
I received an e-mail of a new law signed this morning addressing WOKE business practices. This law was started because a gun dealer could not get financing from banks to expand their business. The reason was because they engaged in firearms. To hell with the 2nd amendment, I guess.

When word got to the state legislature, they immediately went to work to stop this. About 2 years ago, all state investments were withdrawn from Blackrock because of ESG and WOKE. A little over 2 billion was tied up in Blackrock, but 0 now. Blackrock is one of the most ESG driven companies on earth. So, chalk up a win for individual freedom. Investments will be made based on the maximum returns, not based on the WOKEST. And NO MORE Social Credit Scores. ESG is dead when doing business with state, county and local government.

Yep, I've been reading that is the way they are going after guns in some places. Us old folks are ok because we already have guns, but who knows what the future will bring?

The ones getting hit are small businesses. Like a gun shop. The national banks do a Social Credit Score on you, and you don't bow to their wishes or meet their criteria, they can run you out of business. Without the ability to borrow money, most businesses, especially small ones, can not survive.

This is what they are doing to control the sale of weapons. Drive them out of business. That ended in Florida today. No more social credit scores. It will be enforced.

My wife just got back from Publix and was laughing. She said a lady had grabbed some wine coolers and started drinking them. She estimated the little lady was in her mid 80's. By the time she was ready to check out the lady was in line ahead of her and three of the bottles were empty. A young man cashier was puzzled, and he said he could not ring up empty bottles and called for his manager. They discussed it for a few minutes and the manager said rang her up and off she went.

The little old lady didn't wait for the official memo from Publix. She got a head start. Florida Living is interesting to say the least. I bet she was a New Yorker.
 
Assume it must be so, but haven't heard of increased sales for other brewers. Anyone?
