    I’ve been using O/U’s almost exclusively for the last 20 years.   It’s going to get well covered by everyone’s favorite.  In that price range you can get any of the B guns, and are sneaking close to some of the upgraded Etchen types.  My only advice would be don’t sleep on some that aren’t new. You can score some really nice superposed, Dalys, red labels, from back when that (imo) are better than a lot of what’s new on a shelf today.   

    Agree with this, I would go the used route to expand your options.  Also recommend going to a trap and skeet club and try shooting some different guns to settle on one with a good fit for you.  For me, it's the Winchester 101, which you can usually find used for under $1k.

    Yeah, I think you're right.  And that building (more like mansion) had one of the largest collections of western art anywhere.  It was really impressive, but shit was everywhere. Like we had to put some sculptures on the floor so we could use the desk space.

    Originally a Louis Schreiner mansion renovated by Gatti's owner Lloyd Brinkman in the 80s to serve as HQ and house his art collection.  I grew up there.  After Brink's death, the mansion sold and art collection was liquidated

    And yet, he's kept quiet about it for how long?  

    Fuck Straus

    He hasn't kept quiet about it.  That statement was out there years ago, just nobody paid attention

    Anyone here in the Ridgmar area? If so curious to get your thoughts on the houses around that neighborhood.

    If you like mid century ranch with decent sized lots, you are in luck.  Most homes have been updated, good mix of starter families and empty nesters.  Great for convenient access to most things in Fort Worth.  Some sketchier areas on the edges/near the apartments, but overall quality neighborhood

    Y'all throw @C-Man a bone, he won't like my advice. 

    For lunch I would say Luciles or Lili's.  Avoid Reata, it has has really gone down which is sad.  Don Artemio is overpriced for lunch, Maria's is the better bet.  Have heard good things about Quince too

    Just had two cancel.  So will be 6.  We are moving south to a house on JW Marriott property tomorrow.  It’s only a few miles as the crow flies but a 30 minute drive around

    If you are still looking check out El Jefe.  They are booked up but might give you a reputable recommendation

    I liked it. Stopped by and got a slice of pepperoni and one of Mexican. It’s not New York because it’s not NYC water nor at sea level but it’s really good and doesn’t cost like a cane Rosso.

    I’ll stop by for take home pies next time. I’ll get a Greek with sausage no shrooms and a mexican.

     

     

    I stopped in once and it was good and quick, actually busy with good mix of people eating there too.  

  8. I don't get why Eva Guzman didn't get more support from that crowd in the last election.  She literally screamed in her commercials about how her parents were murdered by illegals, she married a cop, and had bigger balls than Paxton.  I would think the GOP money base would love her

    I have a question about getting a card PSA graded.  I was looking at the PSA website and checking out the Service Level pricing.  I have a card that I would like to submit but I have no idea of what grade the card will receive.  For example if the card is worth $1499 or less then it looks like the fee is $75.  What if it turns out to be worth more than what I submit it for?

    Take your cards to a local card shop and they can estimate the base level value (sorry but I don't know the exact lingo). They can then recommend if it is worth grading and guide you through the process

    Different strokes for different folks but don’t get the shiv excitement.  
     

    great first episode, so glad to have this show back.  Didn’t realize until tonight it’s been more than 2 years since the last season.  

    I also don't have a thing for fat, ugly, pasty redheads, but god bless the guys that do.  That's why they make fords and chevys (or Dodges in Shiv's case)
