Good night and good luck! I don’t even know exactly what the rifles we have in the attic are.
Probably should clean and oil them every now and then just to keep them from corroding into junk.
The missus grandfather hid a .30-40 KRAG in a cubby space years ago.
We found it after he died.
*sigh*
What a waste of a rifle.
Yo, Petunia! You want a Life Membership in the NRA if they run the Christmas discount again and your grandmother gives me a pile of money? Then you’d never need to think about it, except to change the address when you move.
The Undead Thread brought it back to life for a month -- just for folks such as you. *\;-)
They’ve been cleaned and wrapped, when they arrived here after my parents cleaned out the house in Missouri. I have a handgun permit, too, and just haven’t got around to buying one, what with having a baby. Sometime in 2010 ...
If we mention Rankine how can we forget Kelvin and Réaumur ?
But his scale would have worked well in Gaelic, which had a numbering system based on 20 (though the Gaels are slowly switching to the decimal system) -- a headache for us luchd-ionnsachadh (learners) who were raised on computationally-sensible decimal systems of metrics, you know, like metres, litres, and grams.
Okay... like most American luchd-ionnsachadh I wasn't one of them. I learned the inch/foot/yard, tsp/tbsp/cup/?/gallon/?, and inch/foot/yard/mile/light-year systems, and where I remember the conversions it's okay. But it makes Gaelic metrics even more difficult.
I really prefer the metric system, for all it means I'd have to give up old comfortable metrics such as gallons (U.S., not Imperial), pounds (whichever of the two scales we use daily), feet/inches/yards and so on.
The American miles/gallon vs the German litres/kilometer gasoline or diesel automobile metric is another difficulty. Machts nichts, give me a universal system and I'm happy.
Sure, why not? It can only make me more annoying to the natives of this annoying land of salmon-lovers.
Ick. I’m going to bed now. My grammar is getting worse as the hour gets later.
If I ever have to touch an M1 Garand again, I may shoot myself with it.
Welcome to our world, Anoreth! But there are good folk here still.
Good night all.
Don’t, Sidebar mod is still messed up from it.
They do?
Well, just that much more reason to leave em alone....
I like salmon! I’d substitute it for chicken in the grand scheme of things, if it cost the same.
Oooh, oooh, oooh. Can I post pictures of my level 80 World of Warcraft hunter? On second thought ...
Ok then you may also have a warm dry place to sleep.
And sleep is what I am off to do. Good Night everybody!
Mornings are the first of things for which we learn to be ungrateful.
I can see ... it’s going to be a good morning.
.
Being able to open your eyes is a good start. Good Morning!
Good morning. The sun is shining, and I suppose the birds are twittering, because the kitten is sitting on the back of the recliner nattering at the windows.
Frank was feeling better last night, but I still had to clear his nose out around 4:00 a.m., and then he didn’t want to go back to sleep, so we came downstairs and got the dog an early breakfast, posted a kitteh, and eventually went to sleep on the sofa. I need to bring a blanket downstairs; I was cold.
OldTax-lady said she received an email!
