Being a Christian I am supposed to love everyone. However, Gavin Newsom makes it very hard. Just picked up my second gun today and had to pay a $54 excise tax...One sixth the price of the gun added for no other reason than to make it more expensive to buy a firearm. I call it a BS tax but either way that is another $54 I had to put on a credit card. I'll never get them paid down at this rate. Good thing I made a $71 dollar payment on the Sportsman card.

Happy Monday Nor-Cal. My heart breaks for those lost in the Texas floods.

Preying for those who lost their life’s and homes in Texas and New Mexico, weather manipulation is real and deadly, the storms are getting more drastic, same with the wildfires, have a great day gents , glad you finally received your pistol Jim , now you can save up and get bullets lol , bullets at cheeper in Nevada or Arizona, depending on where you buy or what you buy , every year a gun show comes around , usually I’ll stock up then or watch store adds each month, I really don’t need anything but a 4-10 2 3/4” for my Judge looking for discs instead of BBs, the only place I seen them were near Prescott Az in Jerome , but my wife mentioned that we were from California and the deal was off

This is real. I saw it today when I went to lunch. I just wonder how they kept it running all these years. Where are they getting parts?

I don't ever recall seeing a Yugo in person. Only photos of them,
Scott, I bought 50 rounds of ammo at time of purchase. So, I am good for now. I want to go to the range every other month if finances permit, so I can get better acquainted with it. I thought it would be smaller than the S&W, but they are about the same size and weight.

I bought gas today. $3.99 . Per gallon. The price is down. Who do I blame for that? We always blame someone when the price goes up. Who do you blame when the price goes down?


55 degrees Fahrenheit. This is why I am in The City. I don't need AC in the summer.

More stuff that you can't make up. You think American politics are bad? In The UK, it's still legal to marry your cousin. Ever since the time of King Henry VIII. The best part is people who want to keep it legal! 😁😁😁😁😁

Well, that was a waste of $21.68. Just came back from Lithia Ford/Lincoln with my brand spanking new center cap, and... it doesn't fit. It fits over the lug nuts, but there is nothing to keep it from falling off. I took my rubber mallet with me because I wanted to install it there and get a photo of the passenger side with both hub caps on. But it doesn't fit. So, I will go to Future Ford of Clovis and return it, and see if there is another one like the one, I have. I notice the indentations are slightly different between the one on the truck and the one I bought. So, maybe the parts department can check for me. I will take a pic of the one on the truck, or better yet just take the truck. I don't have a tire iron to pry it off with, but I think I have a big screwdriver that would work. It would save gas if I just took the old one with me when I return the one, I bought.

A win for me. Apricots @$5lb. I harvested a bunch off the tree in the yard. At least $50 worth. That's better than picking up pennies.
