We just sailed on the Sun Princess a few months ago - our very first Princess cruise. Really enjoyed the heck out of it! Love your drone shot! 🤣

Another stray CPer from way back when finding his way back home! Good to see you again and glad to see you're still smoking good cigars!!!!

Really lucked out - Right place - right time - and last bottle! Picked this up retail price at a local Binny's - the Single Barrel EH Taylor. Can't wait to crack it open when my son gets back from vacation!

I still have a bottle of the OR Rendezvous (local store had it on the shelf all these years). I still think its the best of the Rendezvous Rye releases!

I was blessed with the "getting rid of part" when I picked up my Gen 5 Model 19 - $300 and he felt bad asking for so much (he was appreciative I bought it to close out his fathers estate). The nice thing - it helped me to "sell" it to momma (who does not like my gun budget at all). For $300...

Boy are you spot on with everything you wrote!!! Nothing worse for me what I see someone buy a gun to have a gun, without consideration as to how they are going to handle it. I guess you can go to a hardware store and buy a hammer to drive nails - but if you want to be proficient in the use of...

I'm with you on the .357 mag - would loved to have seen that blossom more. But, unfortunately, it's gone by the wayside. And it appears the 10mm is going with it! But I have been eyeing the 5.7X28 - and almost bought the PSA Rock when it was at a very decent price. Love the concept of the...

I've come around to carrying a 9mm over the .40 because of all the reasons you say - the stopping power has vastly improved over the years. It needed to! But I would say the bigger reason I'm coming around to the 9mm over the .40 - the ammo is definitely cheaper, and I have a larger selection...

I'm a .40 cal fan - been one since I was LE and we switched from 9mm to .40 during the controversy about the underpowered 9mm ammo (horror stories of people being shot multiple time with 9mm ammo and still walking unphased). I wanted some stopping power and did not like the bulk of the .45's at...

I want to start out by saying a few years ago I thought Glock was not worth my time (I've been everything but a Glock fan). My tastes have evolved as opportunities have presented themselves. But I now find Glock to be an interesting critter! Boy is it universal, and parts can be had that...

...I still to this day play tracks from Children of Sanchez. It's been on my regular play list for decades... 😔

I saw Chuck Mangione in concert - 1979 in Champaign, IL. And the greatest thing - met his father selling Chuck's merch in the lobby. Great memories... RIP Chuck...

Now THIS is a dad's joke I can work with!!! 🤣 Nice play dawgie! Thank you for swooping in and saving the thread from the grasp of those munchkins politically hijacking it! And @SKYDIVNEKD - please don't let them fool you - Todd has always been the owner and still his. I don't have a CLUE...

CP has a history of riding on the Crazy Train (shout out to Ozzie, RIP) - so by default we're always on the "track". Just sometimes we have to pay an obligatory visit to the Island of Misfit Toys (see how many remember THAT CP reference...). :cool: Just saw an interview with Jay Leno - and...

I don't know Floyd - it was kinda funny - in a strange CP kind of way (we've always needed those dust up to reset the pecking order...). Appropriate? There could be an argument made! Then again - we've always known you to be at the top of the food chain - and only chime in once the dust...
