Attorneys and Barristers of the Lounge
It is a tough way to make a living. It is no road to guaranteed success that's for certain. I would first think of the skill sets you have and what you enjoy doing. In reality there are many things one can do with a law degree besides practice law, but law school is far less flexible than...- warbird

What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?
The BBF at one time was my favorite, but my that changed a while back. My favorite now is the Partagas, most especially the PSD4- warbird

Post New Hats Here!
Thanks guys. I appreciate the thoughts. I tired to make it to Mike's last time but was caught in St. Louis in traffic coming back from KC. I bought these hats on my way up there a few days before. Also got a beauty of a black Whippet. I need to take it to Mike because even though the hat... -
Post New Hats Here!
Picked these up several months ago, but haven't put them up. Stetson Custom V Stetson Stratoliner Disney. Wonderful felt, great feel, but it just isn't me. I may sell it. It is a size 7 stretched sometime along the way to between a 7 and 7 1/8. Still a beauty. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Rainy day here. Have to decide between the Fed and the Gun Club. The Fed and I just arrived back from the arctic circle, where it again provided me comfort and warmth, though I did have to wear a heavy hat for 2 days. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Just returned from a trip to the far north with my camo on and Akubra Fed. on my head. I believe I have around 4 million miles on the Akubra from deserts to monsoons, to arctic blasts. It is finally starting to show some wear and a bit of sweat stain on the ribbon. Just adds character. The... -
A minor Grumbel RE: Campdraft
New Stetson Open Roads are light tan as well, not the true silver which you were seeking. As was said above, silverbelly runs the gamut. I have them in solver to tan to greenish grey. -
SHOW US YOUR TAXIDERMY
Taxidermy really took off in the 20th century and was very popular after famed people like TR and Hemingway had magazine spreads in the early to mid part of the century. I have several mounts and many more notches in the belt. I shall have a caribou to add in September. My wife doesn't care...- warbird

Show us your Guns!
Certainly in the end accuracy is mostly about whether you can shoot. I can shoot about anything well, given that the firearm is well made to begin with. The 1911 is inherently an accurate weapon. It is also my experience if you give a good shooter a decent gun he will perform nearly if not as...- warbird

The latest addition to my assemblage of firearms, a new take on an old classic. Kimber frame bobtailed. The bobtail makes the weapon more comfortable and easier to conceal. Frame also had front strap and trigger guard checkered Ed Brown bobtail, beavertail safety and grips Old Caspian...- warbird

Then you will have to have 2 different slides because the 45 and 10mm have incompatible breech facings.- warbird

TOM'S {GTDean48} NEW HAT
Sorry I missed the fun. Late start out of KC CIty on Sunday and got hung up in St. Louis unexpectedly. Just got back. Ugh! -
Suggestions for a good golf hat
Well.... maybe you should move. Where I live there are plenty of parks for the kids and plenty of golf courses for the golfers. Oh and by the way, our golf courses run from $7 and up to play a round. It is often full of retired folks and 90+% are hardly rich. No I don't play golf much. I... -

Probably not enough. The 1911 does lend itself very nicely to being a BBQ gun as does the High Power and a nice SAA fits well too.- warbird

Good grief, my head shrank!
This is it here. I have worn the same size hat since I was a teenager. During that time I have l changed weight from very very lean to fat and have never changed hats sizes at all. I gain weight in the face but not subcutaneously on my skull. My hair far more effects how my hats fit than... -
MIKE MOORE
Mike, I have been in and out of town and missed the opportunity for well wishes. I am glad you are better and wish you a speedy recover back to full health. -
Show us your Guns!
The most recent ones made are fairly good. Other than that I say BEWARE!. They have had chronic problems with barrels, accuracy and horrid triggers. Out of the 100+ mini 14's I have shot, maybe 15-20 of them were naturally good shooters. They as all Rugers are work horses, overbuilt and...- warbird

I will have to respectfully disagree with my friend Doublegun here. I find the Red Label to eb the hardest kicking sob O/U built. They will wear you out, especially for sporting clays. I could handle one for a few shots hunting, but man on a clays course after 100 rounds, they are killers...- warbird

The Sporting Life?
I missed this thread. I must have been hunting somewhere when it was up. I am not typically what you would call a vintage dresser as in actual or repro vintage clothing. However, I do dress in very traditional colors and fabrics and rarely am seen in a slovenly state. When I hunt though...- warbird
