lol, it’s easy to say shit like this when the most trying part of your life so far is when a bartender makes your drink a little too strong
 
I can shoot an automatic 22 fairly quickly, Single action is very difficult as I have broken both thumbs and they don't move quite right.

I have never understood the "cowboy" thing.....with smokeless anyway. They do have a black powder class and that interested me for a while, but the only place to play is quite a way away from here.

I do not doubt there is skill there, but it is IMHO not a hard skill to master. Do it with "full loads" and I will be impressed. With these mouse loads I just don't see it as anything special.
 
Our little horse farm had a home that was built in the 1930’s out of tie mill oak. Hard as nails it was. Despite neglect by five different owners since we sold the place, it has withstood two different tornados.

However, Downsville, did not have natural gas. The home had no easy way to heat, the windows leaked heat lik they weren’t even there and the price of the electrical coop’s electricity would make you think Joe Biden was President in 1979. Well there was this fellow, who was in office who while being an honest Christian, was apparently in it a bit over his head. It was Damned cold in the winter. And our bill to heat that home with two heat cool units was $300 per month. So, we decided to add a wood stove to act as an emergency source of heat since we had a baby in the home and the coop’s electricity was not always reliable.

Got the wood stove, got it installed, got enough wood to last the winter and the durn thing paid for itself before the Easter Cold Snap came. And it kept the house a little warmer. A few years later, we had new windows installed all the way around, tons of insulation added and that little wood stove kept the entire house warm. In winter, it would go weeks, maybe even months without the fire ever going completely out.

What brought this picture to mind. On the coldest weekend days, I would put together a big pot of chili put on that wood stove and let it cook slowly for hours. All the while we gathered together in that little den, Brenda, our then young son, and myself and just have a family day, watching movies on our little VCR, or maybe a college football game we were interested in. Family together around a cheery little wood burning stove, Chili almost ready to eat. The finest memory of our little farmhouse.

We sold the farm in 1992.

Got almost 800rds through my latest build. SCT 43x SC lower. Love it when shooting, but damn it's rough on middle-aged guy spare tire for carry. LOL I've resorted to tennis racket tape, and really like it.
