Canned bambi in 2002. Just finished her off. Tasted just fine. In the Marines back into ‘84 we were still eating C-Rats from Vietnam. Just avoided the tuna. Acidic foods tend to eat through the cans,...

Actually belut was made with duck [emoji1658] [emoji1639]egg’s. Let Duck sit on it till the embryo formed, then buried it for a month. No sauce. Crack, slurp, crunch! Philippine delicacy!

Like when I bought a boolit mould before I bought my 591 so’s I could shoot squirrels [emoji2537] with lead. Didn’t get it converted to 5 mm Craig though. [emoji24]

Free ebooks are nice, but they just aren’t the same thing. I like books [emoji432]! I’ve loved books since I learned to read! Mom would ground me from tv and I’d just grab a book. She’d say that I...

I’m a righty in most things but shoot pool left handed and played racquetball both hands. Really confused people!
I still have a recurve bow from the 70’s and had a stick bow but it grew legs at...

Another happy Maggard’s customer. They were where I finally found single edge razor blades for my 1912 EverReady razor. I tried a ton of electric razors, both foil and rotary. I found te Norelco...

Last night I dreamed that I was a ninja married into a ninja clan. The leader said we had to battle between ourselves to see who was best. A guy came at me with a knife and I pulled off my cowboy...

Last year my city water people had to replace my water line —lead pipe from 1912. They bored a new hole and ran copper in. Old lead left buried. No score.

I made a small insulated (dog)cathouse. Cat loved it. When he passed, his replacement moved in! I would think those heated pads used for reptiles would be the way to go. They don’t get really hot.

Been in pain since ‘84. Run over on my way to propose. Ended up doing it in a hospital bed!
I keep keys on a lanyard around my neck. Less stress. Always put away same place.

Gave up looking for that. I found I aged 2 years this year instead of 1. Wanted to put it back. Next year is the big 6 0!

At the Jacksonville Fl. gun show there were two guys selling reloading stuff. 1 had B. P. —$40/lb. subs included. Power was $50-70+! I saw some lg. rifle Mag. primers, & small pistol/rifle primers;...

Ammo’s costly and so is dog food. A guy I knew would always poach on mom’s 10 acres of woods. He tore down all the property flags and pulled out the stakes. Used night vision at 2-3 am. Michigan DNR...

For the same reason some of us prefer a straight razor 🪒 or safety razor over electric . Or muzzleloaders and bows over the latest greatest fastest Magnums.

Stick them into Blazer ammo boxes [emoji403]! That’s what we used in the Mossberg 144’s back in the early’80’s. I still could hit the tacks & drop targets on the rest of the team. They really rang...
