So what instruments do you play?

Paul Mcartney tickets, I wish I'd thought of that for mom's birthday. I bet I could have bought them in september for her. I got her something dumb for her camper instead. You're a better kid than I am.

Hello
wow, living with 4 dogs and 4 cats! I love animals...especially dogs. If you would ever like to go to a dog park let me know...there is a super good one downtown-ish.
How long have you played guitar?

My Dad (aside from being an ultra-conservative christian) is a licensed NRA instructor, with a concealed carry permit. While most kids went out and threw around the ol' pigskin or baseball as their father/son bonding ritual, we'd go down to the rifle range and Dad would show me how to make cans dance. To this day there's nothing that melts away stress the same way as a brick of .22 LR and a bag of cans.

That being said, I have *no* love for the 1911, no matter the caliber. Civilian models are much nicer than our milspec M9s, but it still never feels right in my hand. Maybe it's 'cause I grew up shooting Dad's Browning HiPower 9mm.

I'd have to agree with trevor about the feel of the 1911. god apparently decided that since he had made everthing else about me huge, he would give me little stubby thumbs. But if the pistol feels good in your hand, and you shoot it well by all means enjoy it. I had a tanfoglio witness in .45 for a while that came from the factory with a compensator already installed. I had an issue with the ammo I was trying to use in it, the cheap stuff and I traded it for a glock .40. If I had had enough money at the time to keep both pistols I would have because that witness was probably the best feeling auto I've ever had and when I used decent ammo in it it shot perfectly. I liked the safety system on it also, you could put it on safe with the hammer cocked if you wanted or by pushing the safety all the way down it woud decock and you could then fire it double action. with the compensator to add weight to the muzzle and cut down on the tendency of the muzzle to rise with each shot I could put a whole magazine into a target in about 3 or four seconds. You have to be out in the boonies to do that though, I've never been at a range that would let you do that.

I think I read about this guy in Smithsonian magazine, I remember the bird anyway. I think it's kinda funny that it's alot harder to bring back an extinct species than it is to get one declared extinct in the first place. As I remember from the article Gallagher caught a ton of crap from saying the bird was still around. I kinda wondered who was behind the resistance? Was it the government or the logging industry or other experts in the field? the smithsonian kinda tiptoed over that part of the story. Anyway on the subject of birds have ou ever heard of a Cayique? I think I spelled that right. My roomate has one, it is a little tiny orange and green parrot type of bird. Sometimes it's the friendliest little critter you ever met and then it'll bite you on the nose and flutter off screaming but overall I kinda like the little thing.

I think we should go shooting together.

hey - everybody wants you in SGColorado, but I can't do that 'til you actually technically apply.

so, come on out, click join, let me know when you do, and i'll approve you

Hey, good meeting you. Like I said, you should come out on friday and play with us. Should be a bit more low key, so there's a chance for actual conversations instead of just shouting back and forth.
