 It's not RedBull that give you wings...it's has to be your first wheels,  lets see it 

[Stu Kettle]

Yeah. Pictures or it didn't happen Kid. 

Have fun in that truck, but be careful. It's scary how fast a wreck can happen. Remember you're sharing the road with a whole bunch of idiots.

[The Trinity Kid]

Here you go, fella's.  This is out, learning to drive the sucker.  It has a TOUCHY clutch...

I will admit to grinding the gears once, and killing it twice...  Guilty as charged.

It is a 1994, 4x4, with a 4.0L V6.  That thing got's some oomph!

My wife had that same truck, same year in Teal we bought new , sold it with 123,000 miles on clock in 99.
 I bought my Daughter a White 03 extended cab with the 3.0 , auto just before her senior year ( was a dealer demo )
sold that one to a neighbor down the road 3 years ago.
It had 130,000 then and it's still a daily driver for the guy. My sister had 220,000 on her 92 Explorer 4.0 , those V6 Ford motors have some legs. 
Point is, keep it under you, and drive like own and care for it, rather than like you stole it and it will serve you very well.

Agreed



This day 45 years (1970) ago a left handed guiitar picker took the stage in the middle of a pasture in new york. Woke the masses to the Star Spangled Banner.

The morning Cawffee and the Hot water are ready to drink. Enjoy!  I am glad has arrived, not bad for a freebie. The Ranger is a dependable truck. I never owned one, but I had a V6 Mustang that gave me good service. Keep the oil changed and it will take care of you.

Due to another thread here...I'm out in a short for some Banger's & Eggs
There is an English owned pub in town that does it up Ship-shape and Bristol fashion  
Then on to the gun shop to see what other mayhem I might do to my wallet.    

Yep you guessed it !  batch'n' it here , "she that must be obeyed" it visiting away this weekend  

I'll leave the Coffee in the pot on warm...  TTFN

Lookin' for a decent Model 15 Smith of ya run 'cross one, M2.

Mornin'.

Rained o'ernight. Should give us a badly needed humidity recharge.

Ennyboy wantin' ta come ta duh beach it's safe. Bacteria level in the water's safe now. Swimmin's been prohibited all week but by Friday it was ok. Just in time for the weekend tourist invasion. It's a miracle.

In the various articles published 'bout it, we learned from the pilot (lower case intended) birds crap in the water. All this time I thought they only crapped on clean vehicles.

Don't werry, cuz. Buncha misses Thursday past. At least three P'ed. Thinkin' two others same stage I did. Flatboat had sumore ta give out if folks wanted 'em. Plenty left for the the next WP meetin'. Gotta fresh shipment of both for the get tagether it radar trap otherwise known as Waverly. N'er seen either club run low.

Bangers and eggs don't for get the crumpets.

[pony express]

Woke up to rain here, forecast says 60% t-storms all day. 20% t-storms tomorrow. Hope the 80% that is not t-storms is over Windy Ridge for the shoot tomorrow.

Arcey, glad to know the water's safe for tourists there. We have the same problems here at Lake of the Ozarks sometimes, say it's too many geese. Couple of summers ago, seems like there was a state park beach closed about every other weekend.

[Major 2]

Bangers and eggs don't for get the crumpets.

I didn't, had it with butter'n' preserves , I'm stuffed    no lunch is needed ....

Arcey, they have a M1937  ( S&W Model 1917 for the Brazilian Military & so stamped ) in 45 ACP....
Problem is it's been show piece re-blued ( looks like a S&W factory job ) and has N frame grips...
Not to mention it's consigned way over priced...

For the right price I'd consider it,  then restore it with M1917 grips , and shoot it with moons ...but the owner wants twice what I'd pay for it... I made an offer, some weeks ago...and NADA. Perhaps he'll come around...

Mean while, I have my #3 & my Hand-ejector, my New Departure  , and my little M36

[Texas Lawdog]

I just put another pot of Cawffee on and some iced tea for later. No plans for breakfast as of yet. We went out to eat last night at our favorite Tex-Mex place. They had .55 cent margaritas and 7 oz Caronas for a Dollar. We had our fill last night, so I went back to bed after I put the Cawffee on.

[Stu Kettle]

Mornin. Slept in till 08:00 today, still adjusting to the back-to-school schedule & the late night practices.

Never owned a ranger myself, but know of a few that gave good service for a long time. Much better choice than a trans am IMO.

Had some Tex Mex at home last night. Did some burritos smothered in green chili & some tamales.  Even had some rice & beans on the side.  Believe I could get in trouble on .55 margaritas.

No definate plans for the day other than loadin some shotshells. Dove season's coming up & we've got a better crop of em than I've seen in years. Three different species of em in my yard at the same time yesterday morning.

[Arcey]

Ain't questionin' the levels, PE, questionin' the timin' of the all-clear. Livin' inna city what wants a choo-choo. Gonna cost a ton. They double trash collection fees over two years then brag they ain't raised taxes.

Shoot Ks better'n Ns when I'm inna rush, M2. Lookin' ta find one ta put inta good shape for racin' rather'n a nice keeper. Want 'nother ta put inta rotation. 2 1/2” 66's turn next.

[Major 2]

I'll keep an eye out then, they pop-up , sometimes X cop revolvers are seen....

[The Trinity Kid]

Mornin' y'all.

I'll put on another pot, for those who are so inclined.

Agenda for today is to go back out later, and master that stupid clutch...   Maybe add some .45's and a squash into the mix..

I'm looking at a Winchester 21 at the local pawn shop.  It's a 12ga, and seems to be in good shape, excepting the stock needs refinishing.  $160.  What y'all think?

Rode Pungo. Nothin' goin' on at the Military Aviation Museum. Had a good crowd tho. Nice ta see that.

Hit the produce stands for some stuff. Found this ole gal it Cullipher Farms:





Body's fairly straight. Left door 'n fender ain't that bad. If someone can get to it 'fore the rust eats through it'll make a nice one. Interior's all there 'n looks original.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Arcey, it looks like that is what they use to haul the produce to the stand.

Had the farrier this morning, just relaxing this afternoon.

[Texas Lawdog]

That looks like a 3/4 ton to me, prolly a 55 or 56.  J and G Sales had some  bull barrel Model 64s with bobbed hammers for sale last week(trade-ins from a security outfit)

[litl rooster]

I'd say if the hammers were bobbed after the trade in... The lawyers wouldn't like the hammers removed.
All the companies 4 i have worked for you were lucky to get 6 rounds.  They left the hammers intact.



I see this also the day in 77 elvis got tired of being a celebrity.
