  1. It's a shame but it's been like that consistently for some time now. I travel back and forth to Fredericksburg and Llano several times a year and I stopped ordering brisket. I'll get a pork chop, smoke ribeye or smoked prime rib but no more brisket for me.
  2. Atlantic Firearms just got in a big shipment of Wolf ammo - .223, 9mm and 7.72x39 - cheap steel stuff but they have it. Flat fee $18 shipping. For some reason they have their ammo link hidden under "parts and accessories", but if you're in a jam and need something to shoot, it's there. https://atlanticfirearms.com/taxons/ammo?criteria[availability]=in_stock
  3. So you're still holding out for that WeWork IPO ?
  4. Not sure about TX, but I heard a big issue in the south eastern states is that Academy had furloughed a lot of freight drivers due to Covid and therefore normal deliveries are off schedule. Academy supposedly has (or by now maybe had) a lot of ammunition in their warehouses (relative to other suppliers) but is slow and sporadic in getting it to the stores and on the shelves. That's why some other non-ammo items are also strangely out of stock and they have some bare spots on various shelves. It shows up randomly but when it arrives its relatively plentiful for a short time. Obviously that will eventually burn off as they 1) get more drivers back and 2) what they have is distributed and scooped up by buyers. In the meantime, its a matter of checking daily for new arrivals or becoming buddies with the manager and getting a phone call.
  5. Congrats - Also, thanks for the reminder about our family members whom we punished. We joke a lot among ourselves about the old life. In meetings and in just talking to other drunks its common to talk about wrecking cars or doing absurd shit and everyone laughs. I tend to be bad about that and have to be careful not to take a cavalier attitude back to my family because it isn't funny to them most of the time. Their experience is different than ours with regard to our drunken state and recovery. Good for you on the milestone and for being aware of your wife's perception while you celebrate your sobriety. I needed that reminder today.
  6. Kissing cousins. Both are cool little rifles. The 600, 660, and 788 were all excellent rifles (especially considering their price points at the time) that have recently been more appreciated by shooters and collectors. Sort of a cult following since their production numbers were a fraction of the 700. I wanted a 600 carbine in .308 for a nostalgic truck gun to take until I got serious about it last year and saw the prices. I wouldn't want to bang one around these days.
  7. Poor Kodak!
  8. Some of the replies to that were pretty funny - people offering to trade acres of land, etc. Guy had fun with it - even posted this Sad thing is there are so many new guy buyers around right now they probably thought that was the going rate not knowing any better. If left in a vacuum without the other posters turning it into a comedy routine, he'd have probably accidentally sold it for that to someone who didn't know any better.
  9. That's really cool. A lot of people have no idea that the 6.5 Rem. Mag even existed. Those 660's in 6.5 are pretty hard to come by. Not many made relative to the more popular calibers at the time (like .243). Honestly there aren't many "better options" as aside from ammo being a challenge, you can put that round up against any whitetail cartridge and not play second fiddle to any one. Thanks for sharing that.!
  10. It’s not real, but Cheaper Than Dirt is really selling 9mm for $1.00/pop in 50 round boxes. That blows my mind that they must have takers at that price.
  11. Had to have been stolen. Dealers and street criminals don’t go on wait lists at FFLs for a 5.7 and pay that cost for Ammo.
  12. Husbands and the wise things they do.....
  13. "Did you throw away my ........." is how numerous conversations start each month at my house. I'm not sure if she really believes I did, or if it is a coping mechanism she's adopted to ease her mind so she doesn't have to blame herself for not putting shit back where it goes or organizing her things. Much easier to blame me and then coast emotionally.
  14. I think that stock shares may also show up as $0 because they can't assign a daily value with market changes. I had that happen once due to a spin-off. Turned out there were a few shares in my name - wasn't in TX but I'd surmise that if its something like common stock they have no way of putting a dollar figure to it based on market movement.
  15. Feeling like you’ve been beaten with a tire iron is the best way I can describe the feeling you have waking up after a day long YF haul. It’s a blast but there is a price to pay.
  16. That’ll last until Sept. or Oct. when the casual deer hunters each grab a couple boxes for their annual sight in and deer season. Once it’s gone it’ll be slow to restock bc the mfgs will still be playing catch up on the volume stuff. What’s available now- .243, .270, ‘06 and 7mag will be scarce by December.
  17. If I had notched the stock on my Rem 788 .243 for every deer it killed there’d be no wood left......Just barrel and receiver. Love the Mohawks too. Takes me back.....I’d love to pick one up myself.
  18. I like jalapeno in my pimento cheese.
  19. I have a trifecta from the CMP. Luckily got drawn in the 1911 lottery very early.
  20. The old ads in the back of Field and Stream, or later in Shotgun News still haunt me to this day.......they were begging you to buy all that old surplus to clean out the cluttered warehouses.
  21. Edit - opposite of action
  22. Surrender is not the opposite of inaction for me. Quite different things as I understand my program. Surrender frees me to act without obsession over outcomes. It enables me to take the next right step without fear (or with less fear), and not presuppose the outcome. By surrendering, I am taking my "feelings" out of the mix; removing doubt and worry from the equation. The adage of acting our way into right thinking vs. thinking our way into right action works through this. By taking right actions without fear over the outcome (through surrender of that which I can't control) I get to divorce myself from the results business. If in the morning I simply say to my higher power...."Whatever!?!" and at night say "Oh well" - I'm unchained from the regret, remorse, and resentments to which I naturally default. I guess the long and short of it is that surrender inspires action......right action if I'm spiritually fit and eliminates doubt, worry, and the propensity to act outside of my values to achieve a result I want.
  23. Oh, and on that Model 70.....If you want to have the gun looked at - Pre64win.com Guy is a model 70 wizard with an OCD complex to do it RIGHT - the only thing he'll work on is a Pre64 70...period - he'll clean it...inspect part by part, can repair or replace anything down to original springs and screws, will give you barrel and throat grades. Will even do a complete restoration or modification if you want. He'll maximize the usability and / or value of the gun to your wants/needs. Worth a look.
  24. Those are all excellent firearms to pass along. The older LT20s like yours and mine are great bird guns, along with the 410s they have quite the following with enthusiasts - very pricey!
