And it started out with a longer than normal ride to work.
People, that pedal under your right foot? It's called an accelerator. Your car won't get up to (or past) the speed limit if you don't use it.
It took us almost 8 miles to go from a red light up to the speed limit this morning. I know the girl (in the fast lane) was putting on her makeup and wanted a nice clear landing strip in front of her.
The guy not paying attention in the granny lane was playing with his radio.
Anyway, at 7:45PM when we were wrapping up for the day, I told my foreman "If there were any white men at the office- they'd say 'Kurt can take the bucket truck the 20 miles to his house instead of driving the 40 miles back to the office."
" 'Especially since he'll be using it here again as soon as he drives BACK again'."

I've never owned a brand new gun
All the ones I've shot have been pre-worn in.
........Well, except the Bersa Thunder- which is an autoloader, so I can't compare it to anything.
This new Cimmaron 1872 Open top is going to take some getting used to.
It looks alot like my 1851 cap and ball Colt, but the mechanics have a different feel to them.
The cylinder is heavier, and I guess the internal springs need to be beefier, too- it doesn't spin like the other one.
It's a .38 SPL and so there is more metal in the barrel but it doesn't seem to be front heavy.
The hammer seems different, although a side-by-side comparison shows them to be pretty similar, except that the new one is missing the rear sight notch- it's in front of the forcing cone.
--------Which could be a problem. The first shot I took at a target 15' away (on a cowboy shooting range) went right over the top as I was sighting in where the rear hammer sight should have been.
I'll let you know when I've shot some factory rounds through it-and pics.
UPDATE...(with pics)
Ok, we got to the range and I found out two things.
ONE-- It shoots high, about 6-8" at 25 yards and to the left (not that you could tell on the pics...), but so does the 1851 Navy.
-and-
TWO--The way my shoulder is messed up, I don't know about shooting a rifle, even leftie because of the way my muscle is torn at the tendon- it was hurting on the way home.
First, the sight is different from the old(er) school Colt:
The B.P. Colt (brass/bare metal) has the rear sight on the hammer, and the open top(blued steel) has it in front of the cylinder.
The high shooting can be cured with some judicious application of a file, so I'm not too worried.
I also know that these old pistols were designed to be able to hit what you were aiming at past the 75 yard mark.
(click for bigger is better)
I can't call them "Old school" and "Pre-school", because then we'd be getting into
this one:
That being said, no matter how similar they look- there is 20 years worth of development between these two:
It's wearing in pretty well, and the recoil is hardly noticable with the 7.5" barrel.
The trigger has a nice light pull and the hammer leaves a nice big hole in the primer.
I'm happy with it and that's what matters, isn't it?
Besides it just looks cool.
There is amost no gap at the forcing cone, and as it wears in, it can be kept that way with the cylinder pin retaining wedge.
I think I spent my $429 pretty well at the Powderhorn (410 Acess rd.-N between HWY-90 and Marbach) with friendly people and decent prices.
If you're in the San ANtonio area, you might want to drop in and say "Hey" to the guys.
UPDATE----
After several months of having this gun, I can notice the definate front heavyness compared to the .44 Navy.
No matter how I hold them, both shoot to the left and high at 25 YDS.
I had to notch the front site to be able to put some blackening on it, otherwise it was hard to see in bright sun.
If I could start getting consistant patterns with it, I'd like to try it on the 50Yd range and see what my elivation was.
UPDATE part dos---------
The pulling to the left was the operators problem, after I adjusted my grip it went away, but still shoots a plate size pattern about 6-8" high at 25yds standing.

Because no man has a 9" d**k made of chocolate that spurts money.

Now, in Toronto they have roaming bands of Catholic teens at speed traps to give you a lecture about how speed kills.
Speeders have a choice of a $90 fine or a lecture by Catholic schoolgirls in short skirts.

When recycling goes bad
Nope, it's not about stealing, or other illegal things.
I just happened onto something that would make most peacenik Libs beat their heads against a brick wall.
Just think about this-
In the Liberal world, the most Eeeevil thing is the U.S. military -with their scary tanks.
Farther down on their Top Ten Eeeevil things list is Atomic power - and the spent fuel.
What happens when you combine them for the Libs worst nightmare?
You get depleted Uranium sabots (anti-tank rounds) and worst of all- depleated Uranium
frontal armor on the M-1 Abrams out there in Islamoterrorist-land defending tankers from the RoP IEDs.( About a quarter of the way down.)
Ya know, it really must suck to be so down on everything.

My paycheck against yours Sen. Durbin
Yet another failed attempt at drilling ANWAR and making us less dependant on terrorist supporting OPEC nations went down in a party line vote.
The republicans puled the bill on a threat of a filibuster.
WHY?
Chit- let the Dems (and their enviro-waco buds) explain why we have to pay more for fuel while not using our own plentiful oil.
They were saying back in the '90s that 'if we started today, it wouldn't be available for ten years.'
Hey, it's been over ten years since thy said that, we sure could use some of that oil now Slick Willy.
Oh, my wager?
But Democrats said an expansion of offshore drilling would do little to reduce Americans' dependence on foreign oil.
"We can't drill our way out of this problem," said Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill. "We can't drill our way to lower gas prices."
I bet my next paycheck against anyone in D.C. that as soon as a drill bit bites into that frozen swamp in Alaska- that the price of crude will drop at least $10 a barrel.
And keep dropping from there.
More if they do something about oil profiteers.

Meet the new boss...
Who's related, just like the other boss.
We had a sitewide drug test at the last jobsite and lost several people, including two Operator/laborers. Our new operator is the owners nephew. In the last three days he's had more seat time on the Cat backhoe than I have in the last three weeks.
Every time he's not on the backhoe, he's with the other three supervisors- leaving the five non-relatives working in the trench.
Like the company's website says "Family owned and operated"...just like the Mafia.
OH..on the good side, I got to order my birhtday present today- in .38spl. With any luck, it'll be here Fri.

Down here in Texas
Union is a bad word.
But it looks like the Democrat Congress and a lot of RINOs are going to force people to join municipal unions, whether they want to or not.
According to Betsy and the WSJ, there is an almost veto proof bill slithering it's way through Congress right now. This bill will basically force all public employees of a municipality over 5,000 to live under collective (like Communism) bargaining, and put the taxpayers over the barrel for the excessive goodies they'll demand.

Our 2nd Amendment weekend
After work Sat, we had a family meet-up at the range in LaCoste.
Thing-1 didn't shoot because "it's not my thing." but her boyfriend had a good time with the pistols -he's more of a shotgun guy.
Karen broke in her .38 Stallion and really likes it, so we'll be doing some talking to Dave at the Powderhorn again.
She doesn't like the Bersa .380 Thunder- the sliding kinda spooks her-
and the Taurus .22 has an awful heavy action compared to the SAA.
So it looks like we'll be on the lookout for a .22 for famfiring, my b-day present and an inexpensive reloading set-up.
We'll only be doing .38's, so we hopefully won't be going through what Steve is with his adventures in reloading.
Sunday, Thing-2 got dragged with us. Boredom works wonders in getting teens to do what they say they don't want to do. She finally ended up shooting the Taurus and wanted to keep her target when we left. and the verdict is the same, two pistols are getting traded off.

Barak Obama
Wants to be president of ALL of America.
Yep, he wants to bring all 57 states together.
Because he's so .....

Because to a Liberal, reality is what you want it to to be.
Pretty much like a six year-old.

Had rangetime yesterday
My shoulder will never be 100%, so I need to start teaching myself to shoot leftie.
From the looks of my first set of tragets, I won't have to completely start over with the rifle, since I was stringing pretty much verticle from the center. Less than a palm in spread at 25 yards.
The pistols, on the other hand (oooh- a pun) need alot more work.
I don't remember the Taurus .22 having such a stiff hammer and trigger, but it is a DA I'm using as a single action.
I was going to take Karens .38, but wanted her to be the first to shoot it.
We'll be going to the range after I get done with work around noon.
It looks like we'll have to relearn where to aim with that one, because the front sight looks high compaired to the rear- so I guess we'll need to aim high to shoot low.

A gun geek question
I'm trying to decide on my belated birthday present and am wondering about the rifleing twists.
Does it really matter if it's a right hand or left hand twist?
I mean, it probably would if I were going into Quigley style long distance shooting or a sniper knocking people down a mile away it could make a concern with and the rotation of the earth- and all.
But in real life does it really make a difference which way the bullet spins?

Really.
Now just stop resubmitting the same lawsuit and wasting other peoples money.
You and Mary Mapes got busted for selling a false story.
And in something almost completely unrelated (except that it happened in that article).
What IS it with all these unrelated links that pop up and ruin your reading train when your cursor crosses it?
You think I'm that out of it that I don't know about "60 minutes II" or "President Bush" or "the Viet Nam war"? No! I don't need a bubble popping up if I accidentally touch something.
The same thing goes for those bookmarks, digg this's and the rest of those f*ing annoying "enhancements" in blogs.

Things that make you go,,,oook
Baba Wawa had an affair back in the 70's.
He happened to be a black Republicam from Mass...but still Baba Wawa?????
Dude, what were you smoking?

And I sure hope I'm not starting one here, but I haven't seen it anywhere else....
Ok, we all know that the Libs and greenies have always wanted to force people to use mass transit since at least the late 60's, right?
Last Thurs. I heard the S.A. Metro is seeing a massive increase in ridership ,,,because of record shattering prices. Now I read about the massive increase in AMTRAC ridership (about halfway down- right before they start crying for more money) -because of fuel costs.
The light truck market is tanking and eco-friendly boxes are taking their places.
So, am I out of line in thinking it's *NOT* just Democratic 'sloppiness' in managing this energy fiasco, and it being some kind of planned thing to force America into doing their will?
AND, on a slightly similar theory.
I did the weekly shopping and gassed-up at Wally-world at $3.41 and was glad to see it going down.
I never came close to liking anything involved in psych. classes, but I am an observer of people.
I wonder if the oil companies had this price hike planned to make us happy to see gas in the range of $3/gal without massive revolts?
See, keep raising the price way above where you want it to stay, and gradually reduce it to your target price and people will be glad to pay increased prices- with the benefit of extra cash and goodwill for dropping the price to something less outrageous.
Waddya think?

Happy Mothers Day, hunny
I know it's early, but I know you were wanting it- in a .38.
I traded an aftermarket rifle for it at The Powder Horn, which was appraised about $10 lower than the pistol. Dave, let me have it as an even trade and threw in a box of50 cartridges for it at no cost.
So If you're ever looking for a good buy on a gun with helpful courtious people, stop in. Just as an aside, they have better prices than Drurys gun shop.
Since I found out that Karen's not really to hyped on her Bersa .380 Thunder, we'll be trading that in for something for me! When's fathers day? OH- that's right, I'm still owed a B-day present!

Will this happen if a Dem gets elected?
The flight was supposed be for stranded women and children but as soon as the plane landed in Da Nang, it was swamped by South Vietnamese soldiers attempting to flee the oncoming North Vietnamese forces.
There were 260 people aboard a plane which is designed to carry 105. The plane was overloaded by 20,000 pounds. The baggage compartments were loaded with people. Some of the problems during the flight included, the rear stairway remained partially extended for the entire flight, the main wheels would not retract, a hand grenade damage to one of the wings causing fuel loss, and the lower cargo doors were open. The plane had to fly at 10,000 feet because of lack of pressurization thus fuel consumption was three times greater than normal.
It depends, I guess on who it is.
I mean not that there won't be a general American retreat from Iraq- leaving them to their own devices.
I'm wondering if there will BE evacuation flights.
Hillary will send some- not for her humanitarian instincts, but more for political ideals.
Barrack, will probably just abandon them in place because they're not worth saving in his elitist mind.
And in surfing those vids, I found this truth of Democrat military policy.

Im not sure what to title this one
At first it was going to be "Reason #5793 to pack heat" until I read further and thought about something like "When seconds count, cops are never sent".
Then I read the final line:
Norwick said he was investigating the incident and reviewing whether policies should be changed and employees should be disciplined. But he also said, "I don't think there's anything to apologize for at this time."
Now, I think the subject should have something to do with uncaring, unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats.
Oh- Dane Co. is the site of one of the most Liberal cities in Wisconsin.

Meatloaf again?
Not really, we haven't had it in a while, but I can feel the cholesterol slogging it's way through my veins.
Took him long enough
I see that Barry is "angry", "dismayed", "disgusted" and "saddened"with his former Rev.s comments.
So, is he *really*, or is it an act to convince themouthbreathing imbeciles highly educated and enlightened followers that he's not the same pol as the rest of them?
Does anybody with two brain cells that bump together honestly think that Barry has never heard the Rev. Wright say anything close to what he's been saying on his celebrity tour?
Twenty years and the Rev. has pulled the wool over Barry and Michelle's eyes? And they didn't question anything about the church? And he's supposed to be smart enough to hold the line for America- sorry, don't buy it.
Sorry, I never would have thought to vote for the guy, not because he's black- but because of what he stands for. Here are some names for you to remember if you want to pull out that race card- Michael Steel, and the racial hate spewed at him: Condi Rice and the racial hatred spewed at her during her confirmation hearings: Colin Powell, the same...need I go on?
And for the record, I'd be thrilled to have J.C. Watts as my presidential nominee- but he's too smart for that.
Just in case you want to toss the racist card at me.

Sorry, I never would have thought to vote for the guy, not because he's black- but because of what he stands for. Here are some names for you to remember if you want to pull out that race card- Michael Steel, and the racial hate spewed at him: Condi Rice and the racial hatred spewed at her during her confirmation hearings: Colin Powell, the same...need I go on?
And for the record, I'd be thrilled to have J.C. Watts as my presidential nominee- but he's too smart for that.
Just in case you want to toss the racist card at me.

Somebody tell me, please
How could elderly voters become suddenly disenfranchised if they're now required to show ID when they vote? I mean they NEVER needed a drivers license until the voter ID act?
They were trusted to write and cash checks on their word?
And the minority voters that EVERYTHING affects worse than the rest (except the elderly) have never needed to prove who they were for their Gov'thandouts life enhancement efforts?
They can get by on their good wrong, too?
...OR are the "minorities" so under-represented that they might be ILLEGAL?
But wait, could this be a reason, or a red herring?
Advocacy groups, including the Brennan Center, say they know of no voter fraud case ever being prosecuted against someone who impersonated another voter at the polls. Indiana's Republican Secretary of State Todd Rokita acknowledged there were no prosecutions in his state for impersonating voters, but said the measure was necessary to protect election integrity.
Since most illegal voters don't need to show *ANY* identification, they don't need to impersonate anyone. They just pull a name out of their @ss and go vote after signing a meaningless affidavit.
And tell me something else, if all votes are supposed to be anonymous, how do the powers that be know who the questionable voters voted for?
HMMmmmmm?????
