Looks like a .45-70?

 

Monty like the back plate and the barrel front too... BTW - Celebrex is an NSAID and is a no-no for the kidneys. Tylenol is better for the kidney's but it effects the liver. My liver enzymes are up a little which is why I usually avoid tylenol.

Obviously Roy, ask you Doc as I am sure your situation is different than mine.

Andre - Glad you like the Ram. All brands have positive and negatives. The brake and the accelerator are like light switches. Either on or off... Still would be interested to see what your MPG experience is (and was with the Ford).

Darren - Besides bears, looks like you should figure out away to get that to Africa so you can hunt Elephants.

 

I'll pay attention when I fill up Dak. I can tell you what I'm getting on the Ram, but it's not comparable to the Ford as the Ford was deleted and it did get better mileage. It didn't get the 22 + mpg that many say they get after deleting, but people often stretch the truth in order to better their cause. Also have to remember that I had 35" tires on that truck with a lift. I think I was getting like 14-15 in town and 16-18 on the highway. If I had to guess right now, I'd guess I'm at 15-16 in town and 18-19 on the highway with the Ram. These are unloaded trucks not towing. I just don't track mileage towing at all. I know the lie-o-meter said less is all I remember.

 

I love Marlin firearms!!!

 

Thanks Andre. It was more curiosity than anything. Wanted to know from someone that isn't stretching the truth and actually driving the truck.

Got a call from the wifey, no power at home. No power = no heat. Thankfully after I reported it and she was getting ready to leave with the animals, the power came back on.

 

Man...no heat in Alaska sounds scary. I lost my furnace a couple of years ago in a cold spell this time of year. It was a constant fire in the fire place for 3 days, but we made it and the house was plenty warm in most areas. My son's room was chilly, but a electric heater picked up the slack there. Glad the family has heat again!

 

Luckily it wasn't -20F out. But +20F is still cold....

We have a gas fired, fireplace, but she couldn't get it to light up. I told her to see if the neighbor who is handy with things could get it to start later... That way she has heat backup that doesn't require power.

We have electric heaters too, but of course, no power, no heat... When I actually own a home it will have an automatic generator come on to power the heat if he power goes out. (transfer switch).Not certain I will do whole house... But at least some key areas. Just for this reason.

 

Yes sir 45-70 Marlin 1895 SG

Should be fun.

Have a good one fellas!!

 

Hope you get the heat back on Dak!

 

Nice pop gun Darren, heres mine

 

She got the heat back on Darren. Thanks. You know the cold drill I am sure.

Gerry - Are you sure that gun is legal in Canada?

 

Darren...I think she is planting the seed that she wants a nice present. Like new pots and pans or an iron, lol.

 

Darren - If you give her pots, plans, and an iron will you have someone video taping for us?

 

I would like to get her something nice but I have no idea what to get her.
I have a couple of her friends working on it so I hope that comes thru ..... or I am in trouble (as usual) LOL

I did get he a gag gift tho .... pink camo onesie. She is gonna hate it

 

LOL Darren. I have the same problem.

Maybe a new vacuum cleaner then? (kidding)
