Hey Murray. They must all be snowed in or something.

Hop on that funicular and I'll bet you'll find some snow at the top. ;)

lol.

Almost ran over a guy on a bicycle this morning. I was turning right onto a busy street so I'm watching the traffic coming from the left, start to pull out and another old guy comes bicycling up from my right.

Hit the brakes and the guy does that sort of slow wobble thing on his bike, gives me a dirty look and keeps going.

If he'd been there a second earlier, I might have knocked him down.

Just a little snow left on the higher mountains to the sw. Can't see where the tram goes from where I am but there's probably still snow there.

I've been riding the Road Glide a lot the last couple of weekends. Rode Mount St. Helens last weekend and went up Hwy 14 to Bridge of the Gods, crossed over to Oregon, then came back down I-84 today. Stopped by Multnomah Falls for a leg stretch on the way. Denise likes to occupy herself by playing with her tablet phone.

I enjoy hearing of rambles up and down the Columbia. My grandparents lived in White Salmon, and some long summer visits were very idylic passages in my childhood.

[mpholland]

The Gorge is a beautiful place to ride. I like the Washington side on the bike as it is mostly gently winding 2 lane highway vs the chaotic freeway on the Oregon side. Thinking about a ride to the coast next weekend.

[skippy_ps]

Cool pics. Nice grab of you in the mirror.

Nice pics. I remember when I was the one that got stuck cleaning out the engine compartment of a TV reporters' 914 that he took up to the eruption years ago. Man getting all that ash out without making any mess was something else, it was like a super fine powder.

Hard to believe it's been 35 years this May since she blew her top. I remember feet of ash on the ground in central Washington. Everybody was cursing the ash.

Took a break yesterday, but figured there's be an AK temp set up @ PC. Assuming politiking allowed @ all around us, but not within this particular sub forum? ;-)

[mystic]

Just took a brief tour of the "regular" topics @ the various discussion boards that comprise Political Chat, and was surprised there's not a board dedicated to discussion of Firearms. Seems like that's be a natural.

[mystic]

Maybe there's a "2A" discussion board that I overlooked?

Uhhh, I was going with keep your creepy political views out of here but go big or go home in the rest of it.

Just my personal opinion, reasonable minds may differ.

Here I am! Ooh Ooh Ooh. Pick me!

Just awaiting the return. I too have been surprised at the lack of AK carryover.

I think most are afraid of themselves and how they will react if tempted into the mainstream of the site. Not sure why there isn't a gun topic. Trust me, if you type "guns" into the title search you will come up with plenty of hits. I guess there is enough violence lately that a lot of it goes into current events and then beaten to death. Maybe talk to Don or Pete if you would like one. They could be afraid that someone might get so excited or angry in it that it may lead to a heart attack or to some actual violence between members. It is a very heated love/hate topic and there ain't much in between.

As a member of the CALGUNS forums, I'm inclined to agree with you, M.

You will see many posts of mine on guns, and my main stance is that the 2nd amendment, like the other 9 in the BOR needs a bit of common sense attributed. I think some regulation is necessary, but disarming the people in general or making ammunition illegal or any other such forms of "trickery" is volatile and stupid. OTOH, we don't need private citizens with 18 tons of C4 or dirty bombs either.

Or grenade launchers. Have a stop @ CALGUNS, you'd be amazed @ what's "out there", and in the Nanny State, even.

Pretty much my feelings on the deal.

I am against free speech, however, if it's about something I don't like. Those folks need to be silenced. :)

Lol at Carl's family values post. I think she meant "family values for others." A lot of that kind of thinking going around.

Pretty good, CV. (but a smidge political? heh heh)

[Boreas]

Being a political board, discussions of firearms per se aren't really in our wheelhouse. The 2nd Amendment or the latest bit of fun with a Bushmaster are a different matter, of course, but these are so intertwined with politics and/or current events that the discussions usually happen there. Personally, I think that's more than sufficient.

Of course, if you want to indulge, there's this (http://politicalchat.org/group.php?groupid=2). The group was started by and subscribed to by a dozen or so members here but no conversations ever took place. Maybe you could start it rolling.

[skippy_ps]

Nice looking, though. She may want to think about "eye values" too. More than a little silly not wearing some kind of eye protection whilst firing on a range.

Years ago, I was firing a 357/38 revolver and a little piece of shell casing peeled off and struck me in the face, about an inch below my eye. I know it was part of a brass shell because it stuck in my skin.

Not sure how the heck it came back and hit me but it did. That was enough to convince me.

[donquixote99]

Reloaded cart, perchance? Could mean metal fatigue from repeated resizing/bullet seating.

And an overloaded .357 puts a lot of unburned powder out the barrel, where it gets to explode like explosives always want, in all directions. Which, as you experienced, includes back your way.

Yes, reloaded brass. Likely a thin piece broken off from the end of the casing from resizing/trimming.

Reloads can be unreliable. In my case, the only "fails" I've experinced w/ reloads are squib rounds.
