I was going to say "Pics, or it didn't happen" when I realised it "didn't" happen....
The Watering Hole

WELCOME TO THE WATERING HOLE
A stress-free place to gather and share whatever is on your mind! A fun place of mutual respect where you can hang your hat, vent, relax and shoot the bull for a while!
Happy Easter to all who celebrate that faith.
To all others, Happy Spring!
Easter symbolizes a new beginning, so it is fitting that TWH has a new beginning as well!
Along with RFC, TWH has been remodeled!
Actually, it can be anything you imagine it to be!
I am happy to announce that due to the increased bandwidth of the new RFC, there is no longer a need for the weekly closing and re-opening of TWH!!! After 10+ years of weekly "flipping" we now get to keep the doors open continuously! My sincere thanks to our moderators, especially Sophia, for making this possible!
I would also like to thank all the members who have kept this boat afloat for so long! We have become like family here, and now have a permanent residence!
While we have many long-time members who have been enjoying the company found in this amazing virtual bar, we also welcome all new folks. Jump right in! The first drink is always on the house and Veterans always have an open bar!Al The Infidel (Tubby Slayer extraordinaire) is the bar manager.
So, let's get this re-opening celebration going! Set 'em up, Al! Drinks all around!!!

My son-in-law has a nice pick-up that someone sprayed with bed liner from new. Very little rust for its age, and he really doesn't care if one of my grandkids throws a ball or a frisbee at it.
I don't want anyone to worry or anything, but...
This would be my mid-week shooting day if time allowed. Today, there IS time, but I'm going to ride my bike instead since the weather is perfect.
If I don't come back, remember me kindly - it has been a while since the two-wheeled donkey was last exercised.

Oh, thank heavens.Not to worry, there’s a wall where the plaque will be hung.
As may be surmised, I survived. No huge distance, but it proved my lungs and knees are still capable (both were in doubt as I left).
I may add that the bike-path manners of other bike riders, MAMILs (Middle-Aged Men In Lycra), left a great deal to be desired. Harrumpff!
Hey - if I had to suffer through the reality, you can live with the vision...
Raining nicely here today - a good gentle steady soaking rain that won't just run off the surface. We've needed one for a while.
Mrs Sails is off at a native plant sale with D1, leaving me and the dog to relax for a change. I'm sure there should be shenanigans, but I'm too lazy today....
I was just made aware of a Briazilian Ford that I wish they would import. Has all the "things" and a lovely boxy disposition.
The Ford Troller TX4 Is a Burlier, Jeep-Baiting Brazilian SUV
The long wait for the 2021 Ford Bronco has us excited for Ford off-roaders of all stripes, including the Brazilian-market 2020 Ford Troller TX4.
That's not right....
Although I was once stopped for doing 32 in a 25 - on a pedal-bike. I think he was more worried about me passing cars on the right while they were grid-locked than anything else, though.
Thanks, Tricks!
All went well, and she is hearing much better now.
Her filters are apparently getting worse, however, as when the doc (a nice cheerful soul) left the room briefly, she didn't even wait for the door to shut before she said (loudly), "I can't decide is he's gay or not!".
We had a conversation.....
Range trip this morning - it IS Sunday, after all... Lots of folks for a Sunday, but not too many and well-behaved.
Took the 25ACP Sterling and the Walther PPK/S 22LR. Not expecting accuracy from either, which was lucky.
The high-falootin' Hornady rounds with the Extreme Personal Defense bullets were just pain horrible - failures to eject, one misfire (until the second hit), keyholing, etc. Blech!
The off-shelf ball ammo from PPU was gong straighter, no keyholes, more snap (no FTEs etc.) and was, if I remember, about half the price of the Hornady pre-pandemic. Luckily, I have more of that in stock.
The Walther did what the Walther does - i.e. was the perfect plinking machine. No great accuracy, but fun to shoot.
On the way out.... I noticed something weird in the sales cases. A Stevens No.35 Target, single-shot 22. It was crying out to be taken home and cared for, and I hate to leave something like that in a case full of Evil Black Pistols. It will be coming home next week, and meanwhile is tucked up safely away from EBP's eyes.
