It appears to be the rare fully automatic Mossberg 500 Cruiser/Sweeper.

That WAS fast, Eddie! :-)

Great pictures! Thanks for posting.

Yeah, text is all that worked during Katrina. Well, that and my rotary phones. Cell service was dead for days.

RyanShort1, thanks for the clarification.

As I understand it, the bill has not been reconciled to final form yet. It sounds as though it will require some type of permit, but not necessarily the same permit as for concealed carry.

Yeah, and we have Han Solo!

Let us not forget, Six is the man who sacrificed his thumb in the pursuit of Yuletide micro-aviation, AKA trampoline. His opposable thumb, the thing that makes him human, separating him from the animals and primordial ooze, and facilitates texting. Seriously though, he has a long track record...

Great bunch of photos! Thanks a lot for posting them. :-)

All but six states allow open carry. There's a fair amount of data available, mostly FBI stats, but there does not seem to be a direct correlation between open carry and mayhem. Most people don't carry firearms, and it seems that most who do, carry concealed. With few exceptions, these folks...

Great story! Glad to hear it.

I recall a lady who said her husband worked aboard a sub. Gone 9 months at a time, no communication. I kinda had to wonder: What's the point? But they stayed together. Well, if you can call that "together."

For simple scrolling and the like, the iphone can be operated with one hand. Seems like the apple watch will require both hands (or a hand and a wrist) for any operation...? Or will it respond to wrist motions? I used to be a futurist, but as I stand still, I think I'm becoming a Luddite...

Congratulations! Your study plan sounds fantastic. I'm sure you're a great instructor.

I like wind-ups as well. I usually wear one of these (left to right): Seiko automatic; Eterna winder; Elgin A-II winder; Field and Stream electric; Hamilton winder; Victorinox V-7 "sub-racer." Mostly got them used on eBay/internet for very small amounts. They all keep great time. No need to...

Wow, if they're not ready for IDC10 by now, they ARE screwed. Good move to abort. Took my kids to Stennis a couple weeks ago. Good times. There's no do-over if you miss out on the wonder years. Your priorities are approved. :-)

Ron, thanks for taking the time and effort to give such a thorough explanation. That's what makes this board so useful.

We have dishwasher A. If I had a time machine, instead of using it to control the world, I'd be content to use it to shop for appliances made out of metal.

I'm also a new student in my 50s. I'd recommend the book Say Again, Please, by one of our board members here, for the radio talk. Available on Amazon. The book makes it as plain as it can be. Enjoy your training! Keep us posted.

Thanks for posting this, Art. (Say Hi to Jerry!). Excellent video. The National WWII Museum in New Orleans has an audio/video archive of thousands of these stories. Well worth checking out. When you see the look of wonder on the faces of the kids there, it will restore hope for the future.
