    Movie Theater Recommend books

    Agreed! I really enjoy Jack Carr's books. Matt Bracken's too!

    So I need to relocate.

    For me, the negative is a big one - WINTER! That reason alone is what is driving me out of Wisconsin (plus the lunatic left-wing governor we have right now). I need a place where the snow shovel is a display item, not a necessity!

    Any guitar nuts?

    I have a bunch of guitars. Played in bands for years. Still play on occasion, but not as much as I used to. I have one of these, a Les Paul Signature. Pretty cool guitar. It's my current favorite.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Agreed! Those were some awesome years of racing in F1. All those guys were amazing to watch. It ain't really been the same since.

    Movie Theater Cult classics... since there doesn't seem to be a thread... And we need some movies to watch!

    Another vote for Rocky Horror Picture Show. That is hands down my all-time favorite "cult" flick. We watch it fairly often, and always enjoy it. I am also a big fan of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I laugh just as hard every time I watch it. My wife just looks at me and shakes her head...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    As I understand it, Lewis simply tested positive for COVID. I don't believe he has any symptoms. Hopefully he won't develop anything. I am very interested to see how George does. He will be thrown in at the deep end to a certain extent, but since he is in the "Mercedes development chain" I...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    We had a couple of AWD BMWs, and their X-drive system is great because it puts more torque to the rear axle. Something like 60-40 in dry conditions. So the car feels like a RWD car until it gets slippery, then the AWD does its thing. VERY nice to drive. the "Ultimate Driving Machine" as they...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    The 964 was a great autocrosser. Did very well with it. But I had enough money in it that I was hesitant to really push it on the track. I did NOT want to bend it. The 944 I just pounded on! Also, on the track I liked the feel of the rear wheel drive better than the all wheel drive of the...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    I replaced my 944 with a 964 (1990 Carrera 4). It was a great car, but somehow I ended up missing the 944. If I ever find that time machine I've been looking for, I'd go back and skip the 964 and stick with the 944. Although I might try a regular 911 of that same era (1987-1990). Those are a...

    Isn't that the truth. I am amazed that nobody has latched onto Perez. It's got to be a money thing, because he certainly doesn't lack talent or drive. I sure hope he gets a seat with someone!

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Just read an article about Stroll. Said when the team was packing up the car for shipping they discovered damage to the underside of the front wing that was upsetting the aerodynamics and caused him to lose pace. So it wasn't just him getting off his game, which is good. Now Bottas seemed off...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    If for no other reason, you have to love Kimi for his famous radio transmission - "Leave me alone. I know what I'm doing!" THAT is a classic! I too find his understated personality to be amazingly enjoyable. He's a piece of work for sure. the Iceman! I went to every Can-Am race at Road...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    I raced Skippy cars for a few years, from about 1989 to 1992 or so. I'd have to go look at my old results sheets to get the dates exact. I did my racing school and most of my racing at Road America, but I did go down to Mid Ohio and run there. My biggest problem was that I started too late...

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Just found this thread, so I'm late to the party, but here goes. I've followed F1 racing since about 1969 or 70. I fell in love first with sports car racing, as the Ford GT40 captured my fancy as a young boy. Following the Sports cars led me to Can-Am and F1, and even Indy cars, since a lot...

    Movie Theater The Mandalorian (Spoilers are ok; youve been warned)

    Just watched the first episode of the new season last night. Excellent. Anxiously awaiting the rest of the season.

    Movie Theater The Delta Force -- 1986

    Loved Blue Thunder. Airwolf was OK, but not as good I didn't think. Now, if you want to see some really badass helicopter flying, find a copy of the movie "Deadly Encounter". The story line is so-so, but the helo flying is fantastic!

    tipton vs bore tech cleaning rods

    Personally, I'd go with a third choice. J Dewey Rods. I have several of their items. Good stuff made in the USA. https://deweyrods.com/

    So, when you get your hands on a brand new rifle in a large caliber, do you:

    ^^^ This ^^^ I strip and clean a new firearm and then head to the range. I don't overwork the firearm on the first range trip. Just basic function checks and preliminary dialing in of the optic (if there is one). Then strip and clean again before getting down to business of dialing...

    Hornady Brass

    So school me here. What makes Hornady brass less than "premium"? I'm just going to get started loading some rifle rounds and have some Hornady brass, I I'm interested in knowing the score.
