I need a count on the Bahama mama's. They are 1/4 pound. j1, danp Ajax how many you want to eat.
What is a Bahama Mama? I always thought it was a drink.

"The ORIGINAL BAHAMA MAMA is a fully cooked German style smoked sausage. It is mildly spicy and made with all choice cuts of beef and pork and all natural spices."

Of course you don't HAVE to eat any, that leaves more for ME! YEAH!
Ask Blue Dot or Zeeriverrat how good they are. We had 'em last year.
I thought she was the entertainment.....oh well.....
Kirby how many do you eat? One hotdog and one hamburger usually is enough. Some beans or macaroni salad rounds out the meal, I think. Thanks you reminded me to get some salsa and chips. I would really rather that we do not drink alcoholic beverages till the guns are put away. I sound old but that is mostly cause I am old.
Kirby I would like two Bahama Mommas please. I kow that I have gas in the grill cause I made a cookout for two friends yesterday. Chicken one hamburger and one hot dog, and a good time was had by all. Coffee and dessert inside. Too damned many flies outside.
Old, Are you kidding me?
Alcohol and firearms don't mix. Ever, period.
I don't imbibe so it's not a problem for me.
RELOAD & SHOOT SAFELY
Attachment 295
Dean Grinnell was once quoted: "It is said that alcohol and black powder don't mix. In fact they do mix, but the taste is truly horrendous."
I don't start pouring until all the guns are cased and all the ammo put away. Then I have been known to knock back a few, more than a few on occasion if truth be told as long as I am not driving. I have never been really comfortable if anyone is drinking while shooting is still going on, even if the drinkers have put their own guns away, you can never predict how much stupid is in any given bottle - and I assume there is generally as much stupid in each bottle as there is alcohol. A good number of the ranges I've belonged to over the years don't allow it on the property. Personally, I won't even handle a chef's knife when I've had anything to drink (I'm part Italian and talk with my hands - it can get very messy).
OTOH, we have a rifle and two pistols that fire elastic bands semiauto at spinning targets and I don't mind if anyone shoots them while imbibing as long as they know pets and other guests are not acceptable targets. They are accurate enough to safely, graphically, (and embarrassingly) show how quickly you lose your fine motor skills when impaired even slightly.
Guys you made me feel better. Thank you all very much. Accidents with guns are completely unacceptable. Here I was thinking that you might have thought me an old phart. Better that than someone getting hurt.
John, we're most of us all old farts. We survived long enough to enjoy our oldfartitude because we knew enough to be safe, we were extraordinarily lucky, or both. Wish I could join you guys for this year's get together.
V are you really sure you can't?
I can't handle long car trips without mega pain meds, which I adamantly refuse to take. I did actually fly down unarmed (except for Swiss camo hat) to Philly in May for my eldest daughter's graduation from med school and the traveling there and back was mostly tolerable, but there is no way to fly with all the guns & ammo I'd want to bring, even if I had the extra cash. One colonoscopy with pretty nurses is enough, I will pass on the free one courtesy of TSA's latex gloved gorillas, never mind ending up on the terrorist watch list just for traveling with enough firepower to take over a small Central American country. Maybe we can figure out something for next year.
j1, I generally eat one of those with some potatoe salad and baked beans but sometimes 1 1/2. I don't usually eat like blue dot though, he can put it away.
Versifier, find a 1996 Chrysler LHS or 300 and sit in it. SERIOUSLY. That is the MOST comfortable car I ever drove. I could ride in it all day and get out with no pain. They may make a model today just as comfy. Try it.
Only major foible in that vehicle was the air conditioning repairs. Wish I had fixed her up good and kept her.
V I really feel bad hearing of your medical problems. Yesterday we had company and I shot a Ladysmith 22 in Titanium. Really nice gun but the red dot lazer is unusable in daylight, but that gun shoots where it looks with the open sights. Nice experience.
Kirby there is a tremendous differenc between what I want to eat and what I can eat. Obese is a key word here.
OK, then 1 per settin' ought to do you. Come on guys, what about the rest of you?
What are you guys bringing (shooting)?
We can shoot handgun from 22 through 44 magnum and rifle from 22 through 30 06. That is just my stuff. I always use my shooting glasses shooting handguns at steel plates. I once had a ricochet hit my forearm. Made me think that I was glad that it was my forearm and not my eye. We can shoot off the bench or offhand, or both.
.45 acp, .223 maybe 30-30 but not sure. I have a .22 but it is temporarily not usable.
Kirby never having one before I think that I would like two. I can always skip my hamburger.
If shooting steel plates with a handgun (short range) I think that we should all wear shooting glasses.
Shooting. Throwing the bull. Eating and drinking. I see nothing not to like.
My gas grill just ran out of gas yesterday. The tank did not seem to last very long. Bought an extra and will get both filled. Sometimes I do have a good idea.
I cant eat the bahama mammas but i would still like to come if i can make it still don't know where it is.
Andy
Kirby I will settle for two Bahama Mommas but are there any Obama Mommas? Ought to be interestng as he reminds me of a F n pig at every opportunity. He vacations while the world is at war.
His piggy wife took a ten million dollar vacation and his worthless little daughter took a bunch of schoolmates on vacation, all accompanied by secret service agents and Air force One AND Two to Oaxaca Mexico at taxpayer expense. My word have none of them heard that millions of U S citizens are losing their houses due to their losing their jobs. A revolution really would seem in order.
That piece of garbage is MY president, and yours. I really feel that I, and the entire U S needs help. Maybe we should all just rest for a while until the lovely religion of peace (Muslim) can catch us up in a jihad.
Ill be loading up some ammo tomarrow. Ill be there fri nite
I look forward to meeting you. I bought two propane tanks for the gas grill. We will shop for whatever you would like after you get here. Breakfast out tomorrow morning. Breakfast out is more of a treat to me as I have seldom done so while working.
So J1 and me anyone else? Wont have much to soot but will be there
Hey my shooting bench holds two so two is a perfect number. Now if Greg could just come it would be perfect. Have not spoken to him since the original board went down. How long was that? A loooong time. Now he is very busy traveling. I like being retired. Golf today.
Hey j1, did he arrive??
Yeah whats going on in PA
Wish I could've gone but such is life
Its only in the low 70's. You would need a winter coat...
That's true
It's only 92 here and I got the wood stove going
Dan showed up no problems with his trip. Man I really liked shooting his 25 Souper. 25 sounds small but you should have seen that steel plate swing at 100 yards. That would have destroyed a deer at 100 yards. Looked cloudy much of the time but neither we nor the guns got wet. That man knows an awful lot about guns. Strange guns like the Souper too. He also brought a 7 mm Ultramag. That seems more like a long range western caliber. Powerful but little recoil, which sort of surprised me quite a bit. More to come tomorrow. Very glad that he came.
A two man show and a good time was had by all. We mostly shot 100 yards with just a little 50 yards thrown in for variety. Would you guys believe that I shot a steel plate right over a woodchucks head and it never ran away? With a 7 mm ultramag too. A really long powerfull, loud cartridge. Glad Ihad a witness cause it WAS hard to believe. The conversation was outstanding. Really nice to speak to a knowledgabe shooter and reloader. When Kirbydoc called and said he could not make it the thought of cancelling did cross my mind but I am extremely happy that I did not.
There have been many shoots but I never did make one before. I did now. Better late than never. That Souper is a bitch to shoot. Accurate and powerful. Nice combo.
Glad you two had a good time. Dan's a good man and he really knows his stuff. It was good to see him again when he did a New England Ride on his new motorcycle last year, wish we'd had time to shoot like we did in Maine.
V both Dan and his Souper were nice to meet. Wicked gun, knowledgable man. Nice combination.
Hey Dan, any pictures of swinging gongs or whatever?
Sorry no pictures. Im really bad with that sorts thing.
Is anyone interested in another shoot out? I for one would like to meet fellow shooters again.
j1,
When? Last year was too screwed up a time for me. Summer is construction project time since the kids aren't in school. I just executed contracts for around $300,000 for June/July/August.
im in anyone else
Hey Pickle do you get on here? Me too again now.
PS I could not get on here for damned near a full year. Now I can again.
Hey Pickle are you hiding?
