MANY PEOPLE WONDER WHY WOMEN GO TO EXTRA EXPENCE IN BUYING FANCY LACE UNDERWEAR WHICH CAN BE PRETTY EXPENSIVE BUT NO ONE KNOWS OR CAN SEE THEY ARE WEARING IT.
THEIR USUAL ANSWER IS THAT EVEN AT ITS LACIEST THIS SECRET SPLENDOUR GIVES THEM A WARM FEELING.
ITS NOT MY BOXERS THAT ARE PRODUCING. I THINK, A SSIMILAR FEELING OF HAVE DONE SOMETHING OF VALUE.
I HAVE WRITTEN OVER RECENT TIME JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING I KNOW OR THINK ABOUT IN THE FIELD OF BLACK POWDER AND MUZZLELOADING. SIME SLIGHTLY SILLY:
THE SECRET LIFE OF INANIMATE OBJECTS OR STUPID THINGS YOUR RIFLE CAN DO FOR THE FOLKS WHO GET MAD AT THEIR RIFLE BECAUSE NOTHING THAT HAPPENS IS THEIR FAULT.
I WROTE A FEW THIGS THAT WERE DEADLY SERIOS LIKE TOLERANCES OF THE ALMOST INVISIBLE DIFFERENCES IN SO CALLED IDENTICAL OBJECTS THAT WE MUST CONCIDER INOUR SEAR FOR ACCURACY OR EVEN THE VERY CONTROVERSIAL POST ON OFF HAND SHOOTING WHERE
I FOUND A LOT OF DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW AND VARY SERIOUS THOUGHT.
THE SILLY THINGS GOT A FEW SOMEWHAT SARCASTIC RESPONSES AND MOST OF THE MORE SERIOU GOT MAY FIVE OR SO THOUGHTFUL REPLIES.
NO BIG PARTICIPATION EXCEPT FROM THE USUAL SUSPECTS.
so. I HAVE TO FALL BACK O THE LADIES UNDERWEAR FOR THE HOPEFUL FEELING THAT MAYBE I GOT A LOT MORE PEOPLE TO READ THAN THE SMALL NUMBER WHO REPLIED and maybe I made some of them think. What I write is not biblical. A truth for all men for all time. It's just my thoughts which came to me after quite a few of swelling on the subjects.
Its a good feeling and I treasure it

but has it really been earned. Do I just think its there.

I have run out of things topmost about so will give you all a break and shut up.
I'll just waite for questions
i remember on a piece of very rural property there was a pump that wouldn't produce any water until after you poured some water down the pipe to get it started. The big caution to always be sure that when it did produce water you left some in a nearby can to prime the pump you needed to get old squeaky pouring forth.
I'm like that pump......

Well said, thank you Sir.
WE WELCOME YOU, SIR.
ALL THE TIME I WAS EXPERIMENTING THOSE YEARS IN THE '70'S AND EARLY '80'S I WAS FULL OF QUESTIONS.
WE ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE A THUNDERING HERF OF LURKERS WHO APPARENTLY HAVE NO QUWSTIONS AT ALL. GO FIGURE.
THE FORCES OF EVIL IN STUMBLING ABOUT REMOVED MY ABILITY TO SELL MY EBOOK TO PEOPLE WITH CREDIT CARDS. SO NOW WUTH MUCHFIDDLE AND BOUNCE I AM BACK ON THE INTERNET IN THE SOMEWHAT TACKY, I AMTOLD, EBAY DISPLAY WITH A METHOD PAYMENT. I AM NOW EXPOSED TO TENS OF THOUSANDS AND AM SELLING NOTHING.. PEOPLE SAY THEY LIKE MY POSTS BUT WON;T GIVE ME FEED BACK. ***** ***** AND WHINE. I MAY CONCIDER RETIRING AS WELL AS NO LONGER POSTING.




ITS NO LEGAL TO GROW MARIJUANA IN MISSOURI AFTER YOU BRIBE AN MD AND GET SEEDS AND A PERMIT., I MAY GI IN THAT DIRECTION OR GET INT CONTEMPORARY MUSIC THAT ADVISES ON THE POSITVE BENEFITS OF WILE BEATTING WHICH I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD OR AMBUSHING THE UNDERPAID POLICE WHO ARE OUT THERE TO PROTECT THESE ROLE MODELS FOR HURTING THENSELVES AND EACH OTHER. ANOTHER TREND IS TO SIT DUMBLY AND POKE YOUR IPHONE WHILE LETTING YOUR JOB WITHER AND SELF CARE TO VANISH.
THERE ARE SO MANY OPORTUNITIES. WHERE TO CHOOSE?

I BELIEEVE WE'VE TALKED IN THE PAST.
A YEAR AGO I ACQUIRED TWO CANES, A SHOOTING STICK .A WALKER AND A WHEELCHAUR. I'M NOT USING ANY BUT I'M NOT GETTING RID OF ANY EITHER
WHAT I NEED ARE QUESTIONS, NOT PEOPLE WHO SIMPLY AGREE WITH ME.
I KNOW I'M RIGHT AS FAR MY THINKING GOES ALTHOUGH I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY..
WE ALL LOVE OUR NOISEY SPORT AND WOULD LIKE IT TO FLOURISH. YESTERDAY I ASKED GROUPS WHO ARE TRAINING KIDS TO REPORT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO ME. I TRIED TO START A CONTROVERSEY BY SAYING OHIO HAD NO SUCH ACTIVITY. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. AS A GROUP WE'LL JUST SIT BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WATCH OUR SPORT FADE AND DIE. THEN WE CAN SINK FURTHER IN OUR ROCKERS A TALK ABOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS AND ARGUE ABOUT WHAT KILLED THEM OFF WHILE ACTUALLY IT WAS US THAT ARE LETTING IT DIE.
I DO TEND TO NAG

WHEN I'M GONE I HOPE TO LOOK INTO THINGS AND LEARN ABOUT HAUNTING AND SEE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THE PEOPLE TAKING OUR GUNS.

Keep at it Dutch, maby some of the younger folks will step up,I have a Kibler flintlock on its way shortly, will use your papers to improve my shooting .Have a great evening.Thanks again.
 
Dutch I’m 28 and am learning and love the hobby. There are some younger people taking up the sport, but sadly you are right. Look at any convention or rondy, woods walk, etc. the vast, vast majority of people there are with white hairs. They’re “up there” in years and I feel like the sport is going to become much smaller in the coming years.

I CONFESS THAT WHEN YOU SAY KIBLER I THINK OF COOKIES.IS KIBLER THE STYLE OR THE BUILDER'S NAME?
I VISUALIZE A FLINTLOCK MADE BY ELVES WHO LIVE IN A TREE. I NEED AN EXPLANATION/OR PICTURE.

Dutch,
For a look at where the building of traditionally styled longrifles has been going, take a look at Jim Kibler's website:
https://kiblerslongrifles.com/
Jim offers rifle kits with much of the woodworking normally required to build a rifle from a "kit" taken out of the building process. He uses CNC machining to replicate stocks that offer almost "snap together" assembly. His kits require very little hand fitting. Two of my friends purchased kits from him. One of them is a very competent experienced rifle builder and wound up with a very nice rifle. The other had ZERO experience as a rifle builder, no special tools, etc. He also ended up with a very decent, good shooting rifle. His original kits featured locks purchased from Jim Chambers. He has recently begun offering his own flintlocks that are also produced by CNC machine. Again, they come ready to drop into one of his stocks.
