Happiness is a new gun 2

I was only kidding earlier about the Dr. Getsome red meat, Killian Red diet but it sounds fun for a little while……I also have old man digestion problems with gas, burping and heartburn no matter what or how bland the food is but I found that if I take Prilosec OTC Omeprazole (I take the Kroger store brand) it works great for heartburn and even though I’m not lactose intolerant I found if I take a couple Lactaid Lactose enzyme pills it takes care of the gas, burping problem……With the above store bought meds, a blood pressure pill and 6 or 8 Ibuprofen tablets I get through the day…….Ain’t old age fun!

Beautiful! What holster is that?

Sorry King, I missed your question. I had William Sproul of justincaseholsters.com make this for me. The idea was to kind of resemble a baseball glove in the color and stitching of the throat leather. I loved playing baseball in my youth, which is something else that is now behind me. Which I also miss a lot. Anyway, he does great work, and you can tell that by his 14 week wait time, along with the pictures of his creations on his website. I ordered this one in the Spring a couple of years back so that it would ready for Winter carry season. Worked out well. His work is top notch and he's a pleasure to talk with during his design meeting to discuss what you're after. I'd recommend just going to his site and looking at his gallery to simply admire the pictures for anyone that appreciates a nice leather holster. His photograhy skills are also top notch so be sure to have something to keep the drool off the keyboard.

We knew you were kidding getsome but one thing we all have in common I think is that we miss some of the things that we used to be able to do, eat, and drink. Part and parcel of our trip around the wheel I guess. And a few beers definately sounds good.

One of the suggestions my gastro specialist???? made was not to eat???

I’ve fixed a few issues with fasting. It definitely has benefits. Anything past 16-18 hrs. Apparently, the body goes after weak cells, damaged cells for food, then the body makes new cells. It is tuff to get started on, especially when I do a fast over 2 days, but man do you feel GREAT once you get past the mental anguish. I read that prisoners of war, such as during WWII were reported to live to ripe old ages due to how their bodies replenished and renewed due to the forced fasting. The one’s that made it past the internment that is.

That makes good sense, reminds me of what Cliff Clavin from “Cheers” explained to Norm about why he drank beer when he said, “Well you see Norm, it’s like this…..A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed off first…..This is called natural selection and is good for the herd as a whole because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing off of the weakest, slowest members…….In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells……Excessive drinking of alcohol as we know kills brain cells but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first…..In this way the regular consumption of large quantities of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells making the brain as a whole a much faster, more efficient machine which explains why you always feel much smarter after a few beers………

Sounds right to me……

New Altamont grip panels for the New Vaquero .357.

Beautiful gun Army. Read a article once that said the Ruger's Blackhawk etc. would be a good choice for survival gun at the end of time. Solid built for sure.

Here is my +9mm/357 with BearPaw Burl wood.

Nice Rugers guys! Makes me want to have a stiff drink for some reason though!
I'm working on a Ruger right now, and waiting on grips for it to come in.

I think they would make a great survival gun. Very little to go wrong plus I've always been a thumb buster so I love single action. I have other revolvers but when I was hunting it was always a Ruger (usually 44) that rode with me.
I'm still searching for a 41 mag and now maybe a 357, gave my daughter my 357 so I need one.
