Well captured nice gun.

$ area little off topic, but related to the gun... what is the inflation rate of .22 ammo since the day you obtained that gun.

Again excellent captures of a fine looking gun

Nicely captured... again... you have got this setup/capture down pat

Always liked Ruger revolvers. My 1st "new" revolver was a Ruger Security Six (.357) in Stainless. This one came from Ruger with a 6" barrel, target sights, and Pachmayer grips (with Ruger logo imbedded).

Excellent captures of a fine gun.

I don't own a 1911 but I acknowledge its considerable/historic reputation. I have fired them over the years, shooting with friends. I do own a .45 but it is a Glock 21 SF. One 1911 that always temped me was the Colt Delta Elite. Many years ago (when that 10MM model came out), at a gun show, I got to fire 3 rounds from one. Not my skills, just luck, but those 3 rounds patterned so close I could hardly believe it.

Have not seen that movie

Buy a small island and declare it as a country... Then:

Seek assistance from USA. ... And/or... Declare war on the USA, then demand assistance

Just too close to truth to laugh. I am not quite 80 but an early achiever on most counts... and just started physical therapy for some old damage

I am satisfied with both of our cars now; however, I never know when the car bug will hit.

You have had some interesting vehicles. When I got orders to go to Germany, in 1969, I planned to buy a BMW 2002 Tii then when I started shopping discovered I could not afford the insurance ... since it was in the sport car class (I don't remember their name for it) and I was too young to get decent insurance prices... Driving a friend's Porche in Germany soured me on Porche... I was used to big HP American cars and NOT used to having to keep the revs up to GO!

In Clearwater, FL, behind my office at the time... many years ago, there was a pond and a walking path around it... which was popular at lunch time. I was on my lunch break ine day when a gator grabbed a turtle. The gator tried to get a better/deeper grip and the turtle got away... but left his left rear leg behind. For many months that was a subject of discussion on lunch walks and everyone liked seeing the 3 legged turtle still around. There were a couple of other turtles there with scrape marks on their shell... but none so famous as the 3 legged turtle.

Nice capture of a cute child

I had a Canon Digital Rebel (300D)

Years ago, the wife and I were in a store and I was, along with several others, looking at a bin of lures that were marked down to sell. After a bit, my wife asked how long it takes to pick out a lure and I replied that I was imagining that I was a bass and trying to determine which one looked the most tasty... The other folks quietly eased away.

nice find and photo.

I wouldn't go any closer. I may not live much longer anyway but I prefer to go peacefully in my sleep. It could be a painful death from being in/near that.
