The CZickness XXI...Finally of legal age

[Areoflyer09]

Morning folks!



Maybe you just need to spend $30 on a USB keyboard and another $100 on a decent monitor. That would let you keep your old laptop, assuming that it’s worth keeping. It would also let you run multiple screens by using your old laptop screen as a second monitor.

If you do that, you can type in INGO all day long while keeping a window open to GB.

The keyboard use is pretty good. A stand-alone keyboard should be a bit more robust.

Does everyone here spend more on aftermarket guts than on the base gun? These things are black holes.

And the ammo cost to feed this stupid thing.....

I should have bought a speed boat. Just get rid of ALL the money.

1. In Economics, it's called the "opportunity cost" = what you gave up when you bought an item compared to the "other" option you didn't buy (we would simply say the 2nd choice not taken).
2. I am plagued by the concept (even before I knew the terminology) b/c I always say, "What could I do with this $1000, or $3000 or $5000 if I didn't spend it on a vacation? or car? or bigger house?"
3. So, I end up not spending b/c of that which would be lost forever (in my mind).
4. Of course, the men on this forum can do both, it seems.
5. I represent the silent ones who cannot live at that level, but have been enjoying myself the last 2 years b/c I could do so on a limited basis, being at a point where the kids are gone, house paid off, and no debt at all (lived like that except for house).
6. Retirement in almost 12 weeks (can't believe those words!) is bringing me back to reality, though, and a "new" SUV I bought last summer for the wife (which I thought I'd pay off before retirement ), but I'm done!

I agree with that for the most part, but it doesn't fit every use case. I thought I recall churchmouse saying he did most of his laptop work on the couch or kitchen table. If he's looking primarily for mobility a docking station with external peripherals doesn't really fit. Just my

It’s a 686+ with a 5” barrel. I’ve been grip shopping for a couple of wheel guns and there are some really nice grips available, but they are not cheap if you want elk or stag. But, a set of these are not too badly priced:

I have a set of Eagle Grips on my FrankenRuger. They are quality grips.

Gotta run fellas, hope everyone has a good day

I’m not sure I’d go as far as the full docking station.

Morning wt
What's the mood today? 4th Monday or prefriday?

2nd Monday for me. Truck still in the shop getting a starter and I gotta be in PA Friday at 0-dark-30.

My lovely wife, however, is having first Saturday since yesterday was her 3 day week Friday.

That sounds kinky. . . .Frankentuger.

Where's frau Bleucher?

 

[seedubs1]

I will be picking up my new 686 today.

Priority's 1st.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts regarding S&W fit and finish on the new production custom shop revolvers. Hope you get a good one!

Where's frau Bleucher?

Yeah, that got fixed. Yay smartphones.

 

[patience0830]

Anybody else hear that Alex Trebeck has stage 4 pancreatic cancer?

Screenshot is forever. If they'd get my truck fixed I wouldn't have time for this.

I saw that last night.

It's shocking to me to read people bemoaning the cost of a rescue. It's just what it costs. It's a lot like meeting a woman. You don't ask what it's going to cost you just dive in.

You really don't want to know what it's going to cost you! LOL

There's no such thing as a free ride on that particular roller coaster.

Lol.....we talked about this before Doddg. I have a specific list I'm trying to fill. And I'm going to have it filled WAY before retirement. I've steadily been knocking one or two guns off the list for the last 8 years now.

1 22lr pistol - this may increase to 2 since the SO is a shooter
1 IWB carry 9mm pistol
2 full size 9mm that use the same mags
1 defensive carbine (AR for me) with a red dot
1 game (2 or 3 gun) AR
1 long range AR
1 backup AR
1 hunting rifle (308 right now)
1 shotgun for shooting clays
1 22lr for steel and squirrels - this also may increase to 2 since the SO is a shooter
1 long range 22lr

That will fill all of my shooting needs. Only change would be if I move to bear country and need to get a 10mm or large revolver for hiking.

Once that list is filled (I have ONE TO GO), I'm done buying. Right now, I'm concentrating mostly on shooting more. Haven't been tempted to replace or change anything out in quite some time now. No need to keep spending when all of your hardware is really nice.

This sounds like he would be twice as productive! LOL

Twice as broke.

Where's frau Bleucher?

My wife’s car is a blue German sedan. It has been known as Frau Bleucher since day one when we bought it.

I compared weights of Bill to the hybrid 40P/75B compact last night and the hybrid is about 110 grams heavier. Tomorrow morning, I’m going to test the black trigger spring on the hybrid. In the past, I’ve had very little luck fully Cajunizing a .40 compact CZ. I’m hoping that the heavy slide on the hybrid changes that. If the black spring does not tame slide velocity, then I’ll jump to the blue. Factory is 19#. To run as a .40 75B compact, I was running a 22# mainspring but had 24# and 26# standing by just in case.

I'm a bit surprised that Bill was lighter.
