Thanks to all for the kind words...we will lay hin to rest at Fort Custer National Cemetery on Tuesday the 23rd at 1100 hours...

He was a Crew Chief on a Huey back in the day.

Just heard from my niece that my brother passed this evening...Jon L. Sullivan was not only the last of my brothers but he was one of my heros as well...My world is suddenly smaller tonight. Not sure how I feel about being the last of the Sullivan Brothers

Lovely piece of work...

Done..

Interesting...sounds like quite the adventure...

Yep...sunk my F150 to the frame on a pasture trail that, as it turned out, had a spot that didn't have a bottom...took my cousin's truck, which got stuck, his cousins big John Deere, and also his cousins bigger John Deere , that, pulling in tandem got everybody out

Welcome!

Since nobody has mentioned it yet...what was the deal with the three, I think they were all females, that were hobnobbing up against the wall n the hallway that took off like a bunch of deer when the shooting started?

Welcome home!

Welcome back...good to hear from you

Getting old is a terminal thing...Journey in a good way Al and rest in peace when you get home.....

Got cold up here...so I made a batch of potato and bacon soup with some crusty bread and good Irish butter...

Yep

Thanks for the input!

I'm in the process of getting a Yankee Hill Suppressor for my 5.56 ARs...One of the firearms I want to use it on is my 8.5" ARs...Now I discovered that the shortest barrel they recommend is a 10"...What is likely to happen if I use it on the 8.5 barrel?

The .45-70 1895 has a straight stock and the base of the tang sight rested right in the web of my hand...it was a great thought but in practice....it sucked...ended up putting a Buckhorn on it....

Its relatively painless my friend...apart from the requisite aches and pains that come with living...

Sounds as if the motor thing worked out for the best...

Great Egret Pic...They are relatively common up here in our river valley...but I'm not sure if they are the same birds

Nce work...how does it smoke? Back in 20, the wife and I took the SS Badger across Lake Michigan and then drove over to Pipestone Minnesota to the Pipestone National Monument where Kelli can get some Catlinite because of her tribal affiliation...Anyway...this is her Raven Pipe and her pipe bags... T...

If you're taking the trouble to make one, copy a model with windage adjustment. Just a thought. I concur...I have one on one of my Sharps and a Lyman on my 1895 Marlin...which didn't stay there long because while it looked good and worked ok...every time you shot the damn thing you drew back a bloo...

Oh...I would have leapt on that in a heartbeat...

For that money, I'd buy it just because....

I had one chambered in .38-55....I himmed and hawed about buying it while I drove 60 miles home, then turned around in the driveway and drove 60 miles back to buy it...pretty rifles and a joy to shoot...

That's a pretty one...nice grab! I believe I have some 535.grain Postell bullets out in the shed if you're inclined to try them...

Yep...too peopley....
