      The National Anthem

      And I thought I was the only American that hates the way these performers screech out our National Anthem. They seem to think we are to see their amazing abilities. This anthem should be treated with respect and not altered. I, too, will not be watching the game.

      Vacuum Sealer

      I think shipping was about $12. Last summer I put up 60 ears of sweet corn. There was a puddle of corn milk on the table but didn't cause a problem. I read later that is best to freeze liquids first before sealing.

      Vacuum Sealer

      I bought a vacuum sealer from a company called IMPAK. The small sealer is $99.00 and will use most bags available. Check out a youtube channel called "Imstillworking." She does a pretty good review about this sealer. I am happy with it. I found out that foodsaver bags can cost .50 EACH...

      Handguns that you let slip away!

      In 1973 I bought and sold a beautiful new Smith & Wesson Model 19 .357. I fired less than 50 rounds through it. 1986 traded a pretty Model 700 BDL .243 with Redfield 4x12 variable scope for a new Browning Citori over and under 12 gauge skeet gun. Fell on bad times and had to sell the Citori...

      Hello again, back from Sweden now in Greenwood.

      Sweden is a pretty nice place to visit. My daughter lives in Lund and my wife, son and I visited her four years ago. They learn how to speak English from about the third grade on so no noticeable accent. Would love to go back. Welcome back home.

      What's Your Next Handgun?

      I am looking to get a M&P 2.0. I want to try USPSA or 3Gun this year. Or maybe a Ruger American pistol.

      Screw it, I'm Leaving the Country....

      I was there in 1970 on R&R from Vietnam. I don't remember much about it because it was a week long drunk away from the jungle. They drive on the opposite side of the road....Business men wear shorts with a vest and tie...there is a restaurant at the top of one of the taller buildings that...

      Any woodworkers on here?

      I agree with Ballistix. A good tablesaw should be your first priority. I built this TV stand a few years ago and it would have been very difficult to make without a tablesaw. I know some woodworkers can do this with hand tools but I think if you want to be efficient get a tablesaw. Have fun.

      Combat Veterans, a question

      The last thing I was worried about, as an infantry soldier, was loud gun noise when being shot at in Vietnam. You just do what needs to be done. I wasn't in much combat but enough to get a 10% disability from the VA. I didn't learn about the dis. pay until about 8 - 10 years ago when my wife...
