Don't feel bad. My BIL had a gorgeous '66 GTO convertible, 389 tri-power, that my sister made him sell to buy a home, years ago.
To this day, at their house, at their dinner table, I'll bring that up. Ida told her she could kiss my bare ass on Main St.
Nice, my father had that car also!

Yikes! I'm glad I never ended up ordering from them.
I did find this that might be of interest to you.. Anywhere I can find .455 eley/webley/Colt black powder ammo?

Aw crap, I don’t have pics. Anyone have a Llama Comanche .22lr? 6” heavy (non-tapered) barrel, at a casual glance has Dirty Harry’s .44 Magnum presence. Was a steal for $75, I traded my Tec 22 for it.
Also: my Philco cabinet radio. Allegedly a 1947 model. AM/FM and police band. It’s beautiful to look at, and has surprisingly warm sound. It fills a room with tunes, but not obnoxiously at all. Sadly, the turntable doesn’t work, I have a decent selection of 33-1/3s which would sound great on it. Even better, the radio parts never got transistorized, so it has the frequency drift and quirkiness I kinda love.

I have a signed copy
Thank you. Shes not my most mechanically involved build, but is my wife's favorite. 8 days run on a rewind, nearly silent as you could hear.
Much appreciated comment. Again, thank you.

Shame it won’t load for me. I’m a low-key watch/timekeeping nerd, I’d love to see that. I daily wear a mechanical watch
Here’s something I bet is pretty unique:
Memories of growing up in California back when it was more Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sublime than it was The Internationale.

I wouldn’t even give myself the horologist label. More of an enthusiast. I can brag about having a mechanical watch because I snagged a Seiko SNK805 for $75
When we took a trip to the Johnson space center, I of course had to go out of my way to get this shot:
Hype or not, an Omega moon watch is pretty cool.

Did a similar thing at Ft. Collins Colorado with a Citizens Blue Angel Atomic watch. Have a photo somewhere of it on my wrist in front of the WWVB atomic transmitter
. Old school!

Funny, last time I dropped my wife’s rings off to get cleaned, that was the only watch in the case which appealed to me (OK, not sure it had the atomic complication). I kinda wanted it, but my wrists are too dainty for anything much bigger than a low-40mm case.
I’ll probably stay Seiko next time with a Pepsi bezel SKX on a few nice NATO straps.
The downside of the SNKs is that they have teeny little straps, and there’s not much out there which isn’t junk and/or ugly, so I just keep it as is.

I found out recently he gave it to my brother. He’s such an asshole too. They hate each other so I don’t know why he gave it to him. He doesn’t appreciate it at all. I was talking to him about all the $$ my aunt was stealing from my grandma and he said well I didn’t get much. I said well I got a few lawn tools rakes, shovels, and a few hand tools. He said well all I got was that old gun and for some reason dad told me not to tell anyone he gave it to me. I said that’s because he told me I could have it. That gun is worth good money and I hope he doesn’t do something stupid with it. He takes care if nothing. I was the one that oiled the leather and the gun to keep them in good condition. Also not to be petty but I helped him redo all the plumbing in his basement and I help my dad something no one else does.

Dam something like that belongs with you, that would appreciate it and properly take care of it let him know you would love to have it. Who knows he might surprise you one day.

Thanks. I doubt my brother would. We don’t really get along. I was only over his house because his wife was paying me to do their landscaping. Normally I’d never take money from family but I was there for 12 hours redoing his plumbing and his wife said she’d get us a gift certificate for dinner and a hotel night stay. That was when snow was on the ground and I’m still waiting for it. So this time around I took the cash. He’s only 2 years older than me too. Tis life. My dad gave me other guns in the past so I guess that’s how it goes. I’m only kissed because he doesn’t care about the gun, the historical value of it, won’t care for it, and I was already promised the gun by my dad and grandma. That’s why I hate families and estate things.
I told my parents when they die all I want is some tools and the 9 acres they have. My brother and sister can fight about the rest. I don’t care about money and I don’t need it. My parents give my sister money monthly to pay their bills, watch their kids 40 hours per week and the only reason I care is because my sister and her husband do nothing to thank them. My dad even cuts their lawn and snow blows. It’s ridiculous
Nice. Does it just look pretty, or do you play?
