The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

No, we dont do drama politics or religion here.... and most of us this is the only thread we follow.

Soooo... why are you asking that question? Genuine curiosity or to cause drama or?
Well he is an awful human being on the PB. The worst of the worst. As are some of the other awful humans that seem to hang out in this thread when they are not imitating Nazis in the PB. But you all have fun with them. Lol.
 
Even beautiful guns need to be fired!
I have two guns that I have never fired. I have an 1873 Springfield Trapdoor. Technically it’s Mrs Wonderers. Shes never fired it either. It’s been in her family for ages. It’s 45-70, but you have to use government rounds for it. The new hotter loads are too much for it.

I also have a 1954 Baretta made m1 Garand that was made for the danish army. It’s slightly rare. It’s so nice and in such good shape I’ve never had the heart to fire it. It’s gorgeous. I’m sure it’s been fired before but has almost no wear.

I have a 1953 Polish made Mosin Nagant M44 carbine. It had to have been unfured. It was just when they were moving over to SKS and then to AK47s, so I think there’s a good chance it was never fired. Beautiful walnut finish. But I did fire it a few times.

I said hotter loads…

Remember going to a 9pm movie?

I do, and now I think it's way too late for that shit now! I'd be yawning, and ready for bed before the previews would have even finished.

So, I'm going to let my tired old ass talk me into an early bed time.

Goodnight. Maybe I'll dream of my next firearm purchase after the afternoon conversations. I have always wanted a 460 Smith. :unsure:
 
I've taken a liking to my 45-70 lever gun. Around here hunting is brush, it's easier to carry. I expect the boolet to deflect less than a small faster one if a twig finds itself in the way. And it doesn't need to mushroom, it's 45 caliber to start with! 🤣

Excellent cartridge, plus, I LOVE lever guns!

I’ve been looking at that Marlin for around 6 months…shoulda got it last spring at $800 n change. Now I’m seeing $1000 even on them. They’ve gotten great reviews from all the gun bubbas on the U-Toob. I want the .30-.30 cal
 
Feel like I'm late to the rodeo
or the gun show 🔫
Confession: I skip reactions on a lot of the gun posts because I don't really know anything about guns, rifles, or ammo
We have to make note of that in your file.
Your permanent file! 😂
I looked up and saw a beitiful gun.... for 14000 £
Sticker shock
pretty toys = pretty prices
Yep. And to win the lottery and retire...

First you have to buy a ticket
They always dick you with the details, man ☹️
The good news is I had the walking trails to myself. Go there and the rain started. The dog walkers headed for their cars and only around 5 of us crazy die hards hung in there. Having the place to myself, my rain jacket, and an overall love of dreary days (I’m guessing it’s my Scottish roots!), I got a pep in my step and knocked out 5 miles. When I left I was the last truck in the parking lot!
Sounds lovely! I love a good walk in the rain!!
Good morning wonderful Spoonies!
I finally got a beautiful sunrise, but there was a drilling rig blocking my view of it...
Bummer... on the bright side... you were there for it and it was an oil rig and not MacD or something obscuring your view 🤷‍♀️
I just had a meeting that just my apathy increase by 478%
Still the Office Overachiever I see 🤨
Yeah, I’m talking to my project manager. I’m still not sure if my construction manager gets it. They want to start the next project a week before Thanksgiving. And I told him that I’m taking off the last two weeks of the year already, and that it is not negotiable.

I don’t know if they have any idea how totally serious I am

But it was beautiful.... like gun porn
Nope - not gonna do it... not gonna go look
Ma'am - step away from the search engine*

Thank you - spared me a rabbit hole :LOL:
My father did the British sports car thing back in the late 60s. the fact that the fuel pump would not operate properly on cold rainy days was truly bizarre for a vehicle designed and sold on a cold rainy island.
My dad had a short love affair with a Triumph when I was about 12 years old. Bold for a man w/ 8 kids at the time. :ROFLMAO:
But, ya shouldn't feel bad using it to push the brush away climbing through the alders, etc. Every scratch has a story.
I was going to agree wholeheartedly - thought we were still talking cars 🤭
I've bought bigger and bigger guns, trying to quell the urge for the Barrett .50 cal... trust me, it doesn't work, as I'm still craving a Barrett 50
(But I amassed a nice collection in the process) 🤣🤣🤣
And a YouTube shirt for the one I do NOT want.
My wrists are messed up enough from computer keyboarding. I certainly don't have any business firing something that could shatter them... or my skull b/c clearly a safety helmet is also needed for this one?!? :oops:
I have a Glock G45 on my night stand
I hope I don't use it anytime soon

I hope the only time you use it is at the range... for fun

My dad used to do that all the time.
7, 8, 9pm - movie starts
20 min start of film - dad's awake
middle of the movie - dad: 🥱🤤:sleep:
20 min end of film - dad's awake
Dad: I don't see why folks thought this was such a good movie
Seriously, weasels this time, for real.
Nothing worse than a lying weasel :rolleyes:

This was my dad.

Then it became me.

I remember back in the olden daze all movies started at 7pm and 9pm. Maybe a few minor differences for long epics like Reds.

I miss going to the movies. We saw the Bob Dylan movie and the Led Zep documentary earlier this year.

I want to see Spinal Tap but my wife refuses - she says it’s too dumb! 😂
