Stripping!

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I field strip all of my autos every time I bring them home from the range. I consider the procedure a "MUST DO".

Spotting Scope Recommendations?

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I use a Pentax PF80ED and it's a great scope for birding and digiscoping. I have the straight through model because it is much, much easier to acquire your target with it. If a bird is directly overhead you will have a hell of a time finding it with an angled setup--trust me. It is also a situation seldom encountered as most targets are between zero and eighty degrees from horizontal. This scope comes with a nice case which you can attach a shoulder strap to, making it much less of a burden than the tripod that you will be carrying. I am a little 74 year old man and find the PF80ED to be very easy to tote around. But if you are a sissy----------

Great Day for D.C.

WHAT SCARES ME ABOUT THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IS THE FACT THAT FOUR OF THE JUSTICES DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT. WHAT PART OF "THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR(CARRY)ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" DO THOSE FOUR ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND? I AM PUSHING, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER TEXANS, FOR "OPEN CARRY" TO BE RECOGNIZED IN OUR STATE. EVENTUALLY, WE WILL WORK TO BE AS FREE AS THE CITIZENS OF VERMONT WHO HAVE THE UNRESTRICTED ABILITY TO CARRY A HANDGUN OPENLY OR CONCEALED.

That thing still looks very nice. Just think, all steel, and no EPA. Those were the golden days of muscle and smitty's.

BLUE SUEDE SHOES??

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
It looked like a Honey Bee but I never noticed any blue coloring before. That was probably due to never doing a macro photo of one prior to this shot. Thanks to you both for clarifying.

Small but beautiful

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
John, beautiful shot! I saw this bird do his dance on one of the 'Nature" presentations. It was a very funny sight to behold.

Rendition

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I'm all for closing Gitmo. I vote for moving the terrorists to Attu: Lots of room and no fences are required, and it's on U.S. soil.
