[jacques]

Good morning. Going to be a busy day. Make up for all the stuff that didn't get done when I was gone Friday. Have a happy Monday.

I wonder how many people outside the Govt or banks actually get veterens day off?

[saigon1965]

Morning Jacques - Well some not all schools are out - But it's actually tomorrow, not today -

Stay busy - It'll keep your mind off the BS -

[VegasND]

Morning all.  I'm off work today and tomorrow, but I've got to sit around the house waiting for UPS to deliver a couple of cases of ammo. 

I hate sitting around when I've got time off.  Hopefully you'll help entertain me.

Good morning guys,

[saigon1965]

That's too bad that you have to wait around for it - Well enjoy your days off -

Nice that you've got a Garand to look forward to.  Once you get it and can take it apart please post details... Then shoot it and give us a range report.  Do you have ammo for it?

Yeah I will learn how to field strip it and such , I will fondle it alot thats for sure. As of now i have no 30-06 ammo , need to stock pile soon,

QUESTION

Why do they call it (30-06) "Thirdy ODD six "  instead of thirty o ' six

[saigon1965]

Not work - Just feeling unmotivated - I am getting ready to head out though - Perhaps it's because I worked late yesterday - Got home at 8 instead of the usual 6 on Sundays -

What are the things you're looking for? Put it up perhaps someone will have something -

QUESTION

Why do they call it (30-06) "Thirdy ODD six "  instead of thirty o ' six

Actually it's "thirty ought six"


The cartridge was originally adopted in 1903 and was listed as the 30-03 (I forget the other milspeak that went with it)
The new cartridge was modified in 1906 and redesignated 30-06 for that year.
The 'ought' means 'zero' -- today we'd probably call it "thirty oh six"
English is an ever-changing language.


Edited to make some sort of sense.

LOL , i think the last time i took family portrait type pictures was when i was 5 years old. In the past 3-4 months ive cut my hard short, kinda like a buzz cut maybe size 3 or 4 all around, i like it this way better, no need to comb my hair or anything

[saigon1965]

Had the long hair before - Down to center of my back - In my rebelding days - Not portrait but just family picutres - You've never seen an Asian get together? Everyone has at least 2 cameras to document everything -

I always heard it call 30 - oh 6

I was smart enough to buy some of the Greek ammo from Century right before they decided to stop shipping to us regulars here in Cali.

I didn't win that 10/22 auction. I was out hunting and not near a computer. It ended up selling for $167.
