You sure about that K?

I am aware of that happening a couple of times but was under the understanding that it was usually just one company present.

In 1910, a family in Pike County, Kentucky, proudly posed in front of their modest wooden home, offering a rare glimpse into rural Appalachian life. Their simple, sturdy, and likely hand-built house reflects the hard-won self-sufficiency of mountain families who made a living through farming, coal mining, and crafts.

The photograph captures more than just a structure; it conveys a story of resilience and kinship. In these hills, survival depended on strong bonds—both with the land and with each other. The family's quiet pride speaks of a life rooted in perseverance, where hardships were met with determination and dignity.
Such images are enduring testaments to the cultural roots of the Appalachians, nurtured by work, storytelling, and shared endurance. This family, like so many others, formed the backbone of a community shaped not by wealth, but by grit and connection to their heritage. Their legacy lives on in the enduring spirit of the Kentucky hills.

GritGuy, can you share where you are sending the tails to tan?

You best just stay on that boat another turn if you don't want a honey do list

First big show I ever went to was Robert Plant solo. Jimmy Paige came out and did 3 songs with him. Always considered myself fortunate to see half of Led Zeppelin.

Had tix to see GNR on their Appetite tour, but they cancelled unexpectedly. Never have had a chance to see them again.

Seen just about all of the Metal, Hard Rock and Country artist over the last 35 years. The band that I really enjoy anymore is BlackBerry Smoke. Every show has been consistently great.

I remember I gave Greg his pickup line, back when he was single. I told him when he was talking to a woman about what he did for a living, say "You know how people say it's not rocket science, for me it is, I work for NASA.". Hanging out with him and his brother, is in good part how I ended up with Diane. Their mother is one of Diane's best friends.

Looks great.

I lean towards replacement theology and the fact that the Old Testament version of Israel squandered their inheritance so believers have taken their place. I’ve read the Old Testament multiple times. God prepared the place for the Jews. They didn’t accept, but the place of the wedding feast hasn’t changed.

As to Catholics, I used to think they were way off. I still do on many things, but I’ve heard some good arguments for many of their beliefs that I used to take exception to

Waylon said Buddy Holly teased him about freezing to death on the tour bus, and Waylon joked to Holly that he hoped his plane crashed. Waylon said that haunted him for the rest of his life.

I’d like to buy or trade for a percussion muzzleloader. I am interested in anything stainless with percussion caps. Models like the T/c cougar or silver elite, or the Lyman / Investarms deer stalker. I’d also be interested in one of the H&r huntsman’s with slow twist for round balls. Please send me a pm with gun details and pricing.
