One word of caution…. Well actually an entire paragarph to be honest, besides when could I mange to post anything in “50 words or less” lol

Back in the day, before the Danes began regulating then outlawing private firearms,
Kids in Daneland would often find an old rolling block in one shed, and a box of assorted unknown cartridges in another, and being kids, if it fit they would try to shoot it.
Some went click, some went bang, some went poof…. And accasionally some
Went KABOOM. numerous old news accounts of injuries, leading to old wives tales
About “allthose old guns are dangerous and  blow up” etc etc.

So, check them out carefully. Magnafkux and  Xrays are your friend, sympathetic Veterenarians and Dentist have digital xray gear now so little to no cost to xray, and dont trust “have a gunsmith chek it out” …. Verify his/her bonafides, particulars, and education/experiance in such matters. Most smiths these days dont know squat.
Had too many bang sticks ruined by guys long on talk and short on skill.

Unfortunately there is a great deal of iron in your words about CAS, Professor.

Yessir, it is all about “change”
To quote the Daoists,
“Change IS
It is neither good, nor bad.
One can embrace it, ignore it, or rail against it, but to no effect.
Change does not care, and continues.”

And…
“Change is part of life. Without change there is only stagnation, then decay.”

But i can still whine…. Cuz change and 5e universe neither notice nor care….

Hope it doesn’t bother you folks tho, since i dont have a barkeep to whine to LOL

It would appear the road to happiness is to keep doing your own thing,  as Major2 and Many others here are doing-

Got clubs within reasonable distance? Have at it!
no club near? Set up your own venue and invite folks over
No other options? Shoot cat sneeze, wax bullets, or glue boolets in the garage!

as long as it “does no harm”  Stay calm and Carry On

Oh, and i learned the key to being a succesful barkeep:
Dont water the drinks
Dont let the customers shoot the piano player
Pretend to listen but try not to care much

Enjoyed your posts here.

Why, thank you sir!
I endevour to persevere!  (Chief Dan George, ‘The Outlaw Josie Wales’ )

Bill, that sounds like a great refresh for a well-worn Trapdoor!

Glad he's fine, how he like the new digs ?

Here, mostly moved.  Everyone tired.

Got internet, going to have to take desk apart.  Covered with tarp on deck


Riley got out at the old house and went on an adventure,  decided to cross the busy street.  He got hit, rolled3 times and screamed.  Got up, ran home on all four fine, got home wanted in the kids let him in and he hide in the basement under a chair Rita was sitting in.  On small scrape on his cheek.  Doing fine.
