A .410 single barrel shotgun that my father had when he was a little boy in the 1920's. He told me he was riding on a tractor with his father and jumped a rabbit. It scared Dad, he flinched and accidentally fired the shotgun killing the rabbit. Grandpa was pretty proud of his sons shooting...
Welcome MT60. I live in Ft Wayne and also a ham. WB9ZHT for about 35 years, advanced class. Would love to live on 10 to 15 acres in retirement but can't convince the wife, so I'll probably stay here. I was driving west on 20 last week and saw 3 turkeys scratching through the snow just north...
1. Fly fishing, fly tying.
2. Ham radio
3. Furniture making
4. Beer brewing.
So many hobbies I can't get to them all. I just sit in my homemade Morris chair and drink a craft beer I made. Or tie up a mess of flies while drinking two or three fingers of White Label Scotch.
Cool. I do have to thank Yellow Scarf. They blew up an NVA ammo cache that we had to secure. Small arms ammo, rockets, gernades etc. that exploded all night long. I was able to bring home an SKS from that cache. Still have it. Thank you for your service, too.
My first Part 135 job was also flying checks four nights a week. Went from Fort Wayne (Smith Field) to Elkhart back to Fort Wayne (Baer Field), Detroit City airport then over Lake Erie to Cleveland Burk Lake Front and back to Smith. Scared myself so many times I lost count. One night we had...
Only in V tail Bonanza's. I think the problem with doctors is that they have such extremely responsible positions most of the time that they may think that they can handle anything and under any situation. If you get a private ticket and keep a cool head without the big head you should be...
Congratulations. I got lost on my first cross country. While I was trying to find out where I was, I lost a lot of altitude and finally looked out the window to see a water tower with the name of the town on it. What luck. Then I flew into clouds and instant IMC. After getting VFR again the...
Is that a loach in your picture? I was a grunt in Vietnam and we had a group of choppers called YELLOW SCARF. Hated those guys. They would fly tree top until Charlie would shoot them up then we had to CA back out to the field. Seems that every time we would come in for stand down Yellow...
ATP here. 5300+ total time. I flew mostly Part 135 charter in Cheyenne's, various King Airs ( A100 ((what a dog)), B200((my favorite)) and F90). I'm also typed in Cessna Citation 5. Lost my job in Warsaw, In when the owner's hunting buddy was looking for a seat. He got mine. Couldn't find...
63 years old and still feel like I'm 40. A few pains, over weight, bad eyes from the 1950's and poor hearing from gunshot. Up to 10 years ago I had a First class flight physical every 6 months. Now I am a service tech and carry a 40 pound tool kit every day. Just yesterday had to pick up a...
What is wrong with these idiots? These fans are there to watch the game or race or whatever NOT to hear the screecher/twanger etc show their version of our National Anthem. Leave it alone or play it the was it was written!!
No way to CTD. I spent a ton of money last year at MidwayUSA and plan to continue. They have reasonable prices and fast shipping with a no nonsense return policy. I don't feel the need to look around.
Absolutely! A business owner should have the right to sell to anyone he/she chooses. If they don't want to sell to blacks, jews, muslims, chiristians or the man in the moon, it should be their right. Of course it wouldn't make very good business sense to eliminate these groups and more than...
Anyone can wear dog tags without reservation. Dog tags are not like trying to wear a CIB (combat infantryman badge) or Purple Heart, which must be earned. Don't let some jackass wannabe ruin your plans. I had to wear the tags in Vietnam and we had a rubber (or plastic) silencers that stopped...
