I'm a bit rough on the troops at times. irreverent, irascible, acerbic, dirty old man with out remorse. I do have my good side . I really do teach what I learn and try to have some humor about it. Problem is I also have no problem calling an inept time waster just that, a waste of time. Guess I'll have to work on that.I have nearly 30 years' experience working on all common makes of motorcycle and somewhat less experience working on those I can't spell. I honestly don't have a brand preference and believe that anything less than that you ride being more important than what you ride is a posture for a--hats, imbeciles and docile media led lemmings of the American public.My experience with firearms is only slightly less extensive having owned and used everything from black powder to SAAs to a .338-.416 REM. Far from having a broad knowledge of firearms I fall into several eclectic niches. I prefer N frames for wheel guns, think the security six was golden, I don't modify my SER.70 carry weapon, think the 5.56 and 9mm are a waste of powder, construct overbore capacity wildcats just to reach out and touch something in the next county and hunt with a .270 in open country and a model 141 .35 REM in the brush. I can't seem to shoot a Glock to save my life but appreciate the design and engineering. I'm a curious mix of set in my dinosaur ways but able and willing to learn near anything I deem worthwhile.I digress, as per usual. If I reach the edges of your tolerance please inform me, publicly if necessary. I'm far beyond the age where a bruised ego means anything more than your using my transgression to show the rank and file what is and isn't allowed as well as keep my arrogant self out of trouble long enough to be of some assistance.I do hope that this will be a fruitful and valuable if not at times difficult union. Online help, derision, insults, and outright laughing at you is available any time I'm actually at a keyboard. That's why I'm so easy to find. The only request is that if it is of a unique and useful nature and that after having your ego bruised and your sensibilities offended beyond all sane expectations please post a synopsis of the problem, diagnosis and repair to the forum. I'd do it for you, but I feel I've already done my bit by making you feel small , ignorant, inept and oh by the way, helping fix the problem...laughing with you , not at you~kop
