I'm sure that, Obama like, I can rephrase my original assertion in such a way that what I was really saying was that I couildn't hit a golf ball further with a baseball bat than a golf club while not admitting that I was mistaken about being able to do so leaving the impression that indeed I could hit a golf ball further with a baseball bat than a golf club only I can't. I'll figure it out eventually. :>) >>>>>> Did you know that the artichoke is actually a thistle? >>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > I'll figure it out eventually. :>) If you want to learn to rephrase, just watch your boy McCain spewing out absolute b.s. because, sadly, he has nothing to say of interest to anyone. > >>>>>> Did you know that the artichoke is actually a thistle? > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > - Show quoted text - harry, I take it you're putting McCain in the same class as Grey Davis? *kidding* ?;^ ) >>>>>>>> Did you know that the artichoke is actually a thistle? >>>>>>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artichoke [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > *kidding* ?;^ ) That's not far off the mark. But, worse, for McCain is that he keeps claiming he hasn't said what he has said, and he's running a dirty campaign, which he said he would not do. Typical Bush-Rove crap, all over again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If America is at least partially over its racism, Obama will win. If Obama were white, he'd win in a landslide, But because he ain't, it'll be close. But Obama will win. McCain has absolutely nothing to offer. You can tell that by the "attack" campaign commercials he is running right now. McCain needs a new slogan. How about: "There is no hope." - John McCain. >>>>>> I am rethinking - um...attempting to develop a way to effectively say >>>>>> that I was...er...."incorrect"...no, that's not the word - mistaken - [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > McCain ain't gonna win. I was watching the 'Chronicle' show last night on CBS Boston They talked about the Balsams Hotel in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire. Seems this spot has the first returns on the presidential vote and the17eligible voters claim a 75% success rate in picking a new president. That might be a fun place to hold a Wrecked Boats re-union. >>>>>>> I am rethinking - um...attempting to develop a way to effectively say >>>>>>> that I was...er...."incorrect"...no, that's not the word - mistaken - [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > the17eligible voters claim a 75% success rate in picking a new president. > That might be a fun place to hold a Wrecked Boats re-union. I wouldn't go to a rec.boats "reunion" unless I could open carry my Sig Sauer X-5. :>) Seriously, I'll be watching closely for the Virginia returns. If Obama carries Virginia, the outcome of the election will be known. If he loses Virginia, we'll have to stay up a little later. You can tell how desperate McCain is by the sniping remarks and attack commericals he is running. This week, McCain had another skin cancer removed. I think it reasonable, since he has had more than one bout with cancer, for him to be examined by a nationally known oncologist who will release a report on that aspect of his health. > >>>>>>> I am rethinking - um...attempting to develop a way to effectively say > >>>>>>> that I was...er...."incorrect"...no, that's not the word - mistaken - [quoted text clipped - 48 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Another lie.

At the standard pistol range distance of 25 yards, though, I regularly shoot 4" groups *off-hand* with a 9mm semi-auto, and if I try hard, I can shoot even tighter groups. At "defensive ranges," I can do a bellybutton group, which, I suppose, would be the equivalent of 1 MOA with a good rifle at 100 yards! I've never had an affinity for rifles. Dunno why. When I go out shooting with my buddies, they usually want to shoot my handguns and I get to shoot their rifles. Fair trade. My favorite rifle is a Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55 mm. Not much recoil, and damned accurate. >. My favorite rifle is a Swedish Mauser in > 6.5x55 mm. Not much recoil, and damned accurate.

I've never shot one, but I've heard good things about it as a solid all-purpose rifle. My personal all-around bestest rifle is a older Winchester lever action that was rechambered and re-barreled to .325 with iron sights. Custom match ammo and that rifle is as accurate at a laser. >>> . My favorite rifle is a Swedish Mauser in >>> 6.5x55 mm. Not much recoil, and damned accurate.

Are you referring to the semi-auto Ljungman? Not one of my favorites. I prefer the old reliable bolt action swedish mauser for 6.5x55 rounds. > >>> .

When loading that first round into the chamber, it's so fascinating watching all those parts sliding around. brilliant design. then the Egyptiand decided to copy it and make the "HAKIM" chambered in 30-06 and really kind of butchered the design IMHO. But harry, i have a couple of 7.5x55 Swiss "Straight pulls" For military arms, they are absolute works of art. Especially for their time period they are perfect specimens of Swiss machining. Extreme accuracy, too! >>>>> . My favorite rifle is a Swedish Mauser in >>>>> 6.5x55 mm. Not much recoil, and damned accurate. [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Extreme accuracy, too! If I were buying a rifle, I'd want one of the Swedish Mausers or, if I were buying a new rifle, I'd buy one of the modern knock-off with "Mauser action." In anything larger than .22LR, I prefer bolt action. But I am really more into pistols. Here's a target from my day with a semi-auto shooting .40S&W, 25 yards, offhand. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b287/hank100/Miscellaneous/40-0004.jpg I shoot .22LR with a nice old Victor: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b287/hank100/Miscellaneous/victor.jpg and also a Ruger, and I shoot competitively with this work of art: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b287/hank100/Miscellaneous/x-five1.jpg It's a 9mm Sig Sauer X-5, wearing its everyday grips. It came with a pair of beautiful wood grips, but I'm wary of scratching them, so I put the black grips on it. 19-shot mag, one in the pipe = 20 rounds and amazingly accurate. >>>>>> .

But one of the nicest pistols I've ever shot was my brothers Walther PPK in .22. The top of the slide is V-shaped with a little dot on the far end. No back sight. you eye lines through the V down the slide to the dot. If I may candidly use the phrase, it's one io the most fun "point 'n shoot" pistols I've had the pleasure of working with. >>>>>>> . My favorite rifle is a Swedish Mauser in >>>>>>> 6.5x55 mm.

I am working on something that I'll share if it comes out right. I have a Yamaha Acoustic. Not sure how it compares with the "Classical Line", but I'll tell you, it's an excellent guitar for under 300 bucks. I have a few other 6 string acoustics .... a Taylor, a Fender, a Takamine, and a "no-name" something. The Taylor is nice and has a distinctive sound. The Fender I really don't care for. It sounds "dead". Fender makes some great electrics, but I am not impressed with the acoustic ... at least the one I have. The Yamaha is a well balanced, very playable guitar with nice sound. I keep it here at my desk as my "practice" guitar for keeping the fingers hard and learning new tunes. Eisboch > >> Can I interrupt to tell you about my new guitar? > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Eisboch I have played a few fender acoustics, I never liked the feel..

The loft of a golf club puts backspin on the ball which lowers the pressure above the ball, and raises it below it. This tends to hold the ball up and make it go farther. This is called the Magnus effect. It works much better with a dimpled ball, which will go aboout twice as far as a smooth one. Casady >>There's a big difference between a baseball and a golf ball.
