    Jacksonville, FL

    Hi. I just wanted to invite members in the area to our garage sale this Friday and Saturday. I would like to meet some of the members in our area.

    Link to online ad:

    http://secure.adpay.com/The%20Florid...40&region=2064

    I'll be the old dude that's yakking and the young lady who's watching and selling our stuff is my wife.

    I hope the weather isn't all bad, but we'll be open rain or shine because we use the garage for most stuff. The residents along our street have been invited to participate, so there should be a few others, depending on the weather.

    I'll drop by if we can. Your link is a secured site, and doesn't work for us.

      Okay... I'll go online with jacksonville.com and go to the classified ads... garage sale.

      Thanks, John. I would love to meet a fellow KT member. I hope that I'm not still hopping around trying to label stuff!

        I think the new link might work now. I opened a "private window" on FireFox to go to jacksonville.com classifieds.

          Worked for me. I can't believe your parting with your Springer.

          I'm a little out of visiting distance, about as far out as I can get actually.

          Hope the sale goes well for you.

            Thanks, Bawanna. I have a month's worth of work to do to get ready for the sale and I usually wait until Wednesday night, then put it off to the next morning and at the end of the first day of the sale, I'll still be labeling stuff and remembering stuff I forgot to put out!

            The 1911 IS my only real "Safe Queen"... that's where it was... in its box.

            I thought about listing things on here, but it will be so much easier just to sell them at the sale and not have to ask or pay for shipping and fees.

            I feel more guilty about the K9... and a little about the TPH, but I really don't use them and would rather replace some of the huge amount of money that I diverted from household use. I figure that the guns and a wee bit of ammo will help get more people to the sale, too. Wifey has been pretty uncomplaining about my expenditures... says she trusts me. Yeah... remember your Mother saying that and suing that subtle guilt thing?

              I've always wanted a TPH, but cannot justify the expenditure. It would be a safe queen and range toy, but wouldn't be added to my SD rotation. And SD is the #1 reason for my gun collection.

              I've always liked how small the TPH is. Heck, if you are going to go to a small caliber, it ought to be in a tiny gun. I like the clean lines, too. One would have to be dilligent to avoid slide bite, though. Ouch!

              I've about decided that, if I get a micro gun, it will be in 25acp, the round invented by John Browning especially for micros. A Baby Browning or clone, or a Colt Junior.

              And I have decided that, if I get something in 22 caliber, it will be a rifle in order to maximize the effectiveness of the round and take advantage of it's accuracy.
              Very interesting...

                I carried it for about a decade... until the P380 came out... then I had to wait another 11 months for one with night sights! The P380 actually weighs a few grams less loaded than the TPH loaded with Stingers. And the +P Gold Dots... Speer or Underwood... outperform a snubby .38... for me, anyhow!

                The slide is very sharp and likes to punish the unwary. I had to have a PPK/S and it was kind of the same... sold it in a garage sale along with a lot of other pistols well over a decade ago.

                I still have to decide what pistol I'll wear... or carry... for the sale... since I'll be selling firearms. I wish that I had one of those clear-topped display cases, but am planning to take 8x10's of each pistol for display and bring the pistol(s) out for serious interest. I do have surveillance cameras, too.

                I forgot... I'll just print those pix I put in the online ad.

                    She's a French singer that I "discovered" while stationed in West Germany back in 1983-1986. She sings in a bunch of languages and is incredible. She's about my age now... approaching 67!

                    I drove all over Europe listening to cassettes of her music that I made from her LPs.

                    This is from the CD I bought online through Amazon from a German company. I love Internet shopping! I paid about $25 back in 2004 and now I see prices from $79.99 to over $1,200 at Amazon!



                    She's petite but has quite a set of vocal chords!

                      If I were still at Mayport I'd come and see you and the missus, but being in LA now it is a bit of a drive.

                        Thanks for the thought, anyhow. I don't think I'll ever visit the "Left" coast again. The Atlantic is a little warmer down here. The beaches were beautiful out there, but the water was always cold! Then there are all of those Leftist Liberals and wackos... isn't the latter a political party out there?

                              I had a mint Baby Browning, (long sad story)

                              Now I got a Colt Vest Pocket, not quite as mint but shoots good and belonged to a departed Uncle so worth something.
