Just add some Mescaline & Tequilla, then you'll REALLY be into THE ZONE . . . .

I have a few choice "single-word reminders" too, especially during Finals.

For example:
1. [redacted]
2. [redacted]
3. [redacted] you!
4. Son-of-a-[redacted]
5. Mother [redacted]-er . . .

That's what ear-pro is for . . . .

Re: Hearing Protection and Recommendations for 10M

I just use foam ear plugs . . . Stick with actual ear plugs designed to block sound. Surefire Defenders. Have "filters" blocks the pop, but you can still hear instructions during Final. Made of medical-grade polymer = better fit & function than foam. Amazon LINK: https://www.amazon.co...

Re: Carl Stiegele, Junior, Break open Pistol

If it was autographed by "John Wilks Booth" you could sell it for a bundle. Plus, pre-1898 - no FFL required!

Probably won't see this at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Re: For Sale-all of our daughter’s equipment & guns

PITA = Pain in the @$$.

Open questions:
1. How to handle FFL transfer for out-of-state buyer of 54.30 if buyer shows in-person to gather up all items?
2. Observation: the unique limiter here on "All as Lot," is the 'Boots-n-Suits' - size 42 feet & a medium.

Hope this helps.
