Except more so.
My dad gave me two cars for my sixteenth birthday, a 79 super beetle and a 62 ford galaxie 500. This was 86, and each had about 100k; the sum cost for both cars was $250. I drove the galaxie when I...
With irons I really do need to draw my focus back to the FS to get the hit. I’m really, really sure of that. What I do with a dot is really different.
I think.
that’s interesting and I haven’t tried that. With a dimmer dot, are you slower or faster on the draw or transitions? Are your hits better?
To be careful about what you quoted, I do not believe that a dot is supposed to be used as a front sight. I look at the target, move the pistol, and the dot appears over the target to confirm what is...
Yes -- my perception of whether I'm target- or dot-focused is not trustworthy. I believe I can tell by the effect. If I can get a hit at distance *quicker* (note outcome delta is not effect but...
His Odyssey is particularly good, and Zorba should be read in high school as a great juxtaposition of the Apollonian with the Dionysian.
LTC is not something I would suggest unless a person has a...
You'll get some of that from Quo Vadis -- it's one of the things I enjoyed about it. The best take on it that I know of is Augustine's Confessions -- Augustine was raised across multiple geographies...
When I was younger and my eyes focused faster I could hit an 8” plate at 50 with irons in 3s.
At 52 with most of my cognitive function gone I hit it under 2, using a 3” pistol with a shitty...
Small shout out to Gelhaus for teaching me and 19 other idiots this concept on day one of Gunsite’s red dot class, and then being vigilant about it through the balance of class. I am the product of...
Terriers are awesome as part of a mix. It gives them durability and spunk, and the mixing smooths out the temper.
My 45# protector doesn’t have any terrier in her, I don’t suppose, but she’s...
Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz, translated from the Polish by Jeremiah Curtin in 1896. The basis of a pretty well-known movie from the early fifties, it's a romance to a certain degree, and...
Guy goes to see his Rabbi and says, "Rabbi, I'm so ashamed. You're not going to believe this. My boy left the house and became a Christian."
Rabbi says, "You're not going to believe this. My son...
I’m running the ultra — battery life and screen size are way worth it. Being able to preview texts, emails, and calendar in meetings without twitching is nice but the key is being able to wake up to...
a person with a bass boat and a Yen for Stren can have a lot of fun within an hour of KC. I am a little clueless about the value of the local rec lakes for seadoings, but man a jet ski is AWESOME on...

I am interested in that thread drift while apologizing to Sensei. The best looking quote I got a year ago was Vulcan, but I was not exhaustive.
I have been out of the commercial marine industry for a few months and now have a purely recreational perspective :).
Herself has frequent whims related to boat ownership that I both stoke and...
Great OP — strong concur with your analysis. I think your original advice to the shooter was the best — if he just carried the 229 all the time he would never have known his limitation.
Following with interest. I have been disappointed in the number of optics ready 1911s. I am going to send one of my CCOs off for direct milling pretty soon.
First, the Tesla, which has a pretty lame battery (cylindrical has stopped making sense), is adequate to task for most drivers. We don’t really need better batteries except to eliminate corner cases....
It’s been around six years since I wore a real watch. I try every once in a while but I can’t give up the functionality.

I really liked the trigger on my Kahrs, like the P365 and assume the form factor will be similar, and expect that this will be a good gun. However, for me the manual safety on the P365 trumps the...
We are just now coming above freezing in KC. Last weekend it was -7 overnight, 3 above during the day, with blistering winds. The Boy First Class did the Trapper's Rendezvous campout in Hutchinson --...
Yes, in a 2017 Outback, 2023 Outback, and 2022 Ascent. It does a better job of managing the task than I do -- and I grew up driving RWD cars on bald tires in northern Iowa. More importantly it frees...
