Hey everybody, just wanted to give y'all a little update about one of our VA members ReelVirginian1861. The poor fellow's busted up. He was out in the yard a couple months back and stepped in a hole his dogs dug. He hurt his knee bad and needed surgery to repair it. The operation was back in early March and he's still recovering. The good news is, he's in good spirits considering he can't really do all that much right now. He's a tough old boy so I've got no doubt he'll bounce back from this setback. If you all wouldn't mind saying a prayer or two for him I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
 Here's to a speedy recovery pal! MJD

YEAH! I'M BACK! PART II, THE SEQUEL!!!
I sure appreciate the nice kind words, today is the second day I've been out and about. Well, hobblin' around, really. My wife, Mrs. RV, wouldn't let me hurt her crazy hole digging puppy, so he's still here, alive and well and still digging holes. I haven't been on ARFCOM in so long I got kicked off! Yeah, my prespiration expired is what it says. Shame on me. Believe it or not, as much as I played this hurt thing up, it really worked out good. Mrs. RV has been so nice to me, fixing whatever I wanted to eat, bringing me little treats, letting me keep the remote control and all kinds of nice things. It made being in drydock worthwhile. I even asked her one night (real sissy and moany and whiney like): "Honey Bun, maybe if I got a new rifle it would give me some kind of reason to get well faster, you know, something to aim for..." But she didn't fall for that. Well thanks again for the cheers! Y'alls Pal, RV |

Now that's funny! Even if it is from a yankee boy!
PS: My daughter got moved to NJ with her job. I tried to load her up with guns and knives and get her some Grasshopper Kung Fu lessons but she wouldn't go for it. All I do is worry about her being up there with those people! |

Make sure you stop into the forum more often.

I'm just a nublet around here, but my mother got laid up with a knee injury a few years back (ACL? PCL? one of the two) so I know how tough it can be. Nice to see you back up and around, I look forward to getting a chance to converse with you on these forums.

Jobs are about the only positive aspect of NJ. What city or town is she working and living in. As long as she stays close to her co-workers or friends, she'll be fine. There are good arfcommers up here who can help her out if she needs anything.

She's in hoboken on river street. Nice place I hear. Maybe I should relocate to hoboken? Can I bring my toys too? You are a Confederate yankee though, aren't you? Don't you and John live in the South of jersey? Did you notice how the only words that get capital letters are Real Proper Words? |

I'm still considering my first firearms purchase, and it's 17 days (give or take) to my 18th birthday, so I've got 17 more days of fearing the badguys, zombies, and politicos who want to take my rights. I'm certain that I'll be cured of my fear of zombies soon after my first purchase.

Hoboken? I wouldn't wish Hoboken on my worst enemies. Just kidding. Hoboken used to be a real shithole, but they've gone a long way sprucing the place up. It really isn't bad, but it is expensive to live in that area. The worst thing you'll have to worry about, is if she comes home with a Yankee.

hoboken still is what you said, methinks. She drives one and a half hours each way to work, at the stinking airport, JFK or one of those in ny. Is that nuts? 3 hours a day driving like forty miles? On the other point: SHE WOULD NOT COME HOME, and that goes double if the guy is an I.... I can't say it.... well, if the guy ain't one of us: IRISH! You know the gang I'm thinking of, they talk funny, and there's lots of movies about them, but they do eat real good food that nobody can spell.

Aye matey, ye land lubber! (Pirate accent with parrott on shoulder) Shiver me magazines (Pirate accent with AR-15) I hope we can do another Blastfest and get together, maybe in May? My cousin just finished building a swell BBar-B-Que cooker last week. I think I'll hobble over the dam this morning, take a pic of it to post. Then ask if anyone has any idea on what we could do with such a unit... highwayman was cooking up a plan for us but I haven't spoken with him about any final set in concrete dates. When are you available, say from, May to mid June? Matter of fact, when is anyone available for a Blastfest II, The Sequel? |

Glad to see you're back to posting RV. I'll be perfectly fine helping you out with Blastfest II in any way I can. Things might be getting a tad interesting soon. I'm leaving my DC job in 5 days with nothing on the other end. Sounds foolish huh, but I had to get out before I said something bad to the wrong person and got myself fired. I might wind up working with our pal Druffick before too long. We'll see. MJD

Ahoy! Come alongside Matey! Yeah, finally I can sit up a while and com-pu-tate. It hurts my leg after a while though. I did some farming the last two days and I'm real sore now and debating if I ought to go do some more, or sit here and get stiffer. It would be swell you working with druffick, that way if I end up in there you two can sneak me candy and nudie magazines and not tear up my pin up girls. I wouldn't worry about those folks, you have to do what is best for you. As long as you can survive UNTIL your next ship you'll do just fine. It helps the mind's clarity in pondering if it is unobstructed by such distractions as petty workplace personas yakking in your ears too! Besides, then you'll be off more and can play some too! I'm goinna walk across the dam now and take a pic of the marvelous cooker my cousin made. You ought to see this unit! Man, that boy is talented with a torch and steel! |

Now this ain't right! I gave you 50 bucks to keep that quiet! How is everything with you and your pal. I saw him over Christmas at the Fire station, I was with a mutual friend who used to be on the S.C. volunteer dept. They were cooking Brunswick stew. Did you drive your jeep in the parade? Matter of fact, that week is the last time I was out and about with a regular leg! Wow! It's been like three months? YIKES!!!! Nice to hear from you, oh and be advised: I'm going to be putting LOTS of WW II stuff on ebay this week. So if you two guys want to look at it before hand, let me know ASAP. I got some beauties. |

NOOOO! Do not put that stuff on Ebay! Put it here in the EE. Your militaria is part of history and should not be demeaned by listing it on a commie-run, liberal-lovin', auction site. Oh, and hang on to that FN 30-06, I might want to buy some of that off you. MJD |

I dunno that y'all be able to help any. I'm stubborn, obstinate, and fairly set in my ways. I'm up in the Fairfax County area, and my friend tells me Blue Ridge Arsenal and Bull Run are a couple of good local ranges. I haven't shot in years; not since I was in Shooting Sports in 4H out in Kalistan, so I'm fairly out of it. Haven't been to any of the local Arfcom functions, but it seems like Arfcom members are pretty abundant here in NoVA. Around the top of my list are getting a good plinker/target .22 and getting something for home defense. Shotguns have been heavily recommended to me, and I've been looking at maybe getting an 870, but I just don't feel much of the "shotgun love." I'd prefer a pistol-calibre carbine, and I'm currently trying to get a straight answer out of the .gov as to whether or not .45 ACP counts as handgun ammunition when I use it in a longarm. So I've been looking at the Remington 870, Ruger 10/22, Rhineland Arms R22, Beretta Cx4, and a couple others as possibilities. I'm hoping to get the cash together for a Leitner-Wise Gas Piston Operated 7.62x51 AR when those come around. Another three years and I'll be 21; then it'll be time for a Springfield 1911. |

Even if the .gov tells you it's rifle ammunition when used in a rifle, try convincing the local retailers. I doubt that will be an easy proposition. Heck, I had trouble getting an AR when I was 20 "because it had a pistol grip and was therefore considered a pistol." That is not a joke. A dealer in Prince William county told me that. Darksun did too. I took up reloading when I was 19 or 20 to get around the retailers. You can buy components from most places at 18 and assemble them into loaded ammunition yourself. I'm not necessarily advising this as I'm not sure posession of handgun ammunition is technically legal under 21, but that's what I did. MJD |

Are you serious? This stuff is mostly for a collector and worth way more than a shooter would want to pay. I just don't think it will more on the EE. What do you all think? WW II stuff, like webbing, ammo belts, helmets, German helmet, junk like that? |

Bobby, I think it's more of a case trying to keep her job. The company she works for thinks their people are in the army or something. They just move where and when they want. She'll be there for at least 2 years. That could destroy a beautiful Southern girl too! Hey, serious, thanks for the offer to help her anyway! |

I think possessing if you only own a pistol caliber carbine is legal, though thats just from what i've gathered and the voices in my head are telling me. although i do know that a lot of the time at wally world, if you buy pistol ammo, they'll ask if it's for a rifle or a handgun, at least in my experience. Oh, and get well soon Real, hope to meetcha someday. word of advice on the knee injury, if it's swollen up bad still, put a cold pad on it for 10 min., hit it with heat for 10, and hten cold pad again for 10, it'll pump all the liqiuids and gooiness out. sounds like hooey but from one knee-injured virginian to another, it works real good!
