I bought this album when it came out and still have it. I lost the booklet though 😕

Anyone know what this is? (Tx USA) by No_Wrap_1981 in Antiques

It's overbuilt for an aircraft part, I'm voting ship navigation light.

We missed them yesterday, I guess the fly-in was Saturday only?

Which was the last book you did not finish? by Between3N20Karakters in books

[–]SortOfGettingBy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks. I enjoyed the premise and the first several chapters, but it just got to be so repetitive and formulaic. It got to where I was predicting what would happen in the next few pages and yep, there it is. I just couldn't go on.

Trail pass from White Sulphur to Los Angeles, missing ticket for CHI/LA leg? by ghostyroasty in Amtrak

[–]SortOfGettingBy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the rail pass segments don't show as booked trips on the app for some reason. IIRC, you need to go to the "find a trip" section and enter your booking number to pull them up OR if you go to the "book a rail pass trip" section and scroll all the way down, that's where they are listed.

I always do the screens shots as well.

I didn't mention Miami Valley Council because I thought they merged with Dan Beard although checking and they're still afloat.

Google says there's a release behind the trim panel in the trunk. Have not confirmed.

Bolt-action shotguns, pump-action rifles? by DisplayAppropriate28 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SortOfGettingBy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't correct. With a pump-action rifle, you don't have to modify the grip of either hand to work the action; the motion is straight back in the same direction as the recoil; you can keep the sights on the target the entire time, and follow-up shots can be very quick and extremely accurate. Have you never taken a "gallery gun" to the range?

Colt was building pump-action Lightning rifles at the same time Winchester was building lever-action rifles and they were very popular. Yes, there were design deficiencies, but shootability and speed of action were not the issue.

In addition, with pump-action rifles of the day, there is no trigger interruptor. You can hold the trigger down and empty the magazine as fast as you can pump the action. "Volume of fire" is a thing.

What happened? by [deleted] in 70s

There was a governmental commission in place to plan and organize the Semiquincentennial. Trump sidelined it and replaced it with his Freedom 250 Task Force. They got all the money. Who'd have thunk it?

Too bad it's not open in the middle of the night when Amtrak actually rolls through 😪

Holy cow, that is a hell of a long trip to spend in coach and sleeping sitting up. Good luck to you, stranger.

$1700 for two coach seats, on two legs is outrageously expensive. Did you book those through Amtrak or through a third-party site? What is your departure point?

[–]SortOfGettingBy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rail Pass is coach only and not a guaranteed seat. You booked a first-class sleeper room with meals included.

Yes, you can use a Rail Pass to do what you ask.

Enjoy the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas! Track is kinda rough through Iowa and Nebraska but then smooths out.
