The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[wingrider1800]

In good news I did close a deal on a Colt Thunderer, it's gritty on the outside, but working on the inside, usually the other way around and expensive to fix.

LE, you may want to check out Beckort Auctions. He has some old Smiths and even a broom up for auction.

This covid crap sucks. I’m going insane. Thankfully I didn’t get it as bad as some here. I’m tired of being home… I was able to get out and walk around the block yesterday and today. The back pain has been terrible. Not sure why.

Thinking about rifles now. Bigger bore something or other. Iron sights.

More water, grasshopper.

Took me about 24 hours to break the fever…

I’m thinking somewhere in the 30 range. Don’t need too big, readily available would be nice. Just something a little larger than 5.56.

Don't overlook 32 Winchester Special chambered model 94 Winchesters, it's a hard hitting cartridge and can usually be found for less money. The ammo is still around and it can also be easily made from 30-30 brass. I have three and they all shoot very well with cast bullets.

A few years back I sold one to KJQ.

So I've been looking around at P07's in .40 lately. Man, this one is rough. Definetely not worth the current bid. These are not so easy to come by.

Also eyeballing this as a contingency (also OOS, referencing model):

Funny, but I have not shot my .40 P07 in over a year but I took it out today. I now remember why I love the P07 platform.

You are one of the few people I know that loves 10mm shorts as much as I. Not much available out there on the P07. I'd prefer it over the P10, bit either will do

I’m due to go back to work Monday so long as I don’t have symptoms for 24 hours. Right now I feel pretty good. Little light on energy, I can feel it in my lungs. But other than the back pain, which seems worse when I wake up in the mornings…

Probably the gunk in your lungs. My back doesn't hurt, but my chest does. Probably same thing for you. Once you get rid of what's in your lungs you'll feel better. Glad you're bouncing back quick.

Be careful, depending on where that backpain is. Could be lung stuff if it's upper/mid back/shoulder areas.

I got started with a great group of guys. We were in a smaller room in southern Indiana. "Bud" (real name Charlie....don't think I ever heard anyone call him by that), had one of the other guys spin me around, they all shut their lights out, and Bud said "find me". At least 10 or 15 minutes went by, Bud never moved. I found other members, walls, they were at least nice and blocked the exit with one guy, so I didn't crawl into the next room. It was probably more terrifying than entering my first house fire. After 15 minutes, they turned the lights on, I was close to Bud, but he was on a rock higher than I could reach, and I sure wasn't going to stand up. He said I was close, but I didn't find him. Bud said never forget this feeling. Always bring at least 4 different types of light, with good back up batteries, spare and different bulbs. Make sure you let someone on the outside know where you went and your approximate entrance time and if your not heard from time. We would occasionally stop, especially in Kentucky. Look back, study the rock, because that might be the way you're getting back out of this cave. It was a great time in my life, single, good job; went caving (SPELUNKING), kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, tent camping, rock climbing, 4 wheeling, rappelling......oh to be young again!!!!

If Bud did that to me, I'd have to kill him !!!

Not covid but I have been pretty sick for several days. Chunks of lung coughed up fairly regular. Then in the day it all clears up only to repeat middle of the night. Like WT says it is sinus drain off. I ****ing hate this

Are you well-endowed with 300 BLK ???

Don't forget me ! ... I have many pieces in .40 S&W, and have always been very fond of the caliber !

Yay! I just don't hear you speak on them as much. I got into them by accident years ago. No mistakes, just happy little accidents.

Normally drink water all day long, but this week it’s just made me want to puke… been drinking Powerade… bottled spring water has been ok…

One has to be respectful, when uttering the "G" word !
(which are where the majority of my 40's exist)

A TRILOGY OF 40'S !

My chest hurt for the first couple days. I started hacking up crap yesterday. Making progress lol.

It’s been all over. Moves around. That seems to be the main area though… But I already have a pain that flares up there from time to time…

I was thinking a little more traditional than that. Little more old school.

I've been dealing with draining sinuses all week long. And complete boredom...

I’m not sure what I would want! Bolt or lever works for me. Easy to find and affordableish caliber would be great. I’d be open to a Milsurp that didn’t break the bank. I hear great things about the 6.5 Swede, but I’ve never shot one.

Just something bigger for more fun or just in case. Hell maybe I get invited on a hunt someday. I’m not much for scopes, no patience for distance. I had a .308 once and I’ve had an 8mm.
