KFC has really dipped as of late.

Always preferred Church's.

Popeye’s or GTFO

We’ve got a Dallas local brand called Williams Chicken. I’m pretty sure they lace their fried chicken with crack. It’s sooooooooo damn good.

I cant remember, but do you do a lot of salt water fishing or freshwater?

Mostly salt/brackish but I go bass fishing with my father a few times each year, and piddle around with the ponds in my neighborhood.

Vast majority of what i do is creek fishing for reds, trout, and flounder in a kayak, or surf fishing from the beach or jetties.

I'll get a decent boat one day and get into offshore stuff more. Now i only go through charters or through friends that have boats.

On the contrary, fish and chicken have a storied history together. Haven't you ever heard of Hip Hop Fish and Chicken?

You ever see guys using fish skis? I have been thinking about setting mine up for it for a destin trip we have coming.

@Grand Vol

Thinking of getting a Winchester model 1873. What are your thoughts and what sort of price range should I deem acceptable?

As in new or one of the vintage ones?

 

[Grand Vol]

Also Dink, while I tend to have a broad look on such things, @DEFENDTHISHOUSE or @Pepe_Silvia really are the best to ask about lever guns.

Dink if you’re talking original gun with maybe a resto look here for ideas? But these are pricey guns.

I've got a buddy that collects them. His wife groans when he gets on Gunbroker

He was a heckuva baseball player, for sure.

I’ll bet. Original guns in good shape are pricey. I’ve always liked the Turnbull items. They no longer offer a replica 1873 new it sounds like but I’m sure you can find them on gunbroker. I’ve toyed with the idea of wall mounting a display on the man cave wall with a Turnbull 1873 and a Colt SAA in them.

He does the restoration himself, or he did. A friend of his family found an original 1873 octagon barrel in the old family barn that was being torn down. I don't remember the caliber, but it was his pet project for a couple of years.

Since Winchester brought back the case hardened manufacturing on their throwback 1873 I thought about one of these. But I’d read up that they are junk compared to historical quality so not sure. Probably doesn’t matter for a wall ornament and it IS a Winchester ... but it just seems wrong.

I swear, military guys are lazy these days.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

I wouldn't mind getting a replica for recreational use, but I'd be willing to throw in the necessary cheddar to have an antique to mount on my mantle. They really are one of the most beautiful thundersticks ever made.
