If it wasn't for that and my job, I'd probably move somewhere else...but I'll deal with some of the silliness for now. That's all I'll say about that, don't want this thread to attract the attention of the moderators again.

Nice shots! This is my last day off for a while. I'm off to work for several days and then have saws to build when I come back home...so I probably will fall about 20 pages behind when I get back on here.
 
When I first priced out a fully decked out Madone 7 they were over $13,000 and I just said "no way".

But then I started playing with pricing on the computer ... I already had the aero wheels (which were almost $3,000), so I entered the cheapest wheels and instead of Dura Ace Electronic, went with Ultegra manual shifters (these new Ultegra were better but cheaper than the previous Dura Ace). Then I opted for the aluminum handle bars (instead of carbon) and the second lightest seat and I got the cost of the bike under $4,800 for a complete bike with "good" stuff.

My bike shop guy could not believe it, but confirmed it was correct. A frame alone was over $4,600!

So that is my ride now.
 
The bike frame makes a huge difference. When I first started riding with the group, I had an entry level aluminum frame, and I just could not keep up with the group. At 6'1" 185 lbs is not a lot, but it made me one of the heavier guys in the group.

When I got the Carbon Madone 5.2 all of a sudden, I could stay with these guys, especially going uphill. I had no idea how much power I was losing to frame flex. The better frames are also more aerodynamic and ride and handle better. Carbon frames smooth your ride. They layer the carbon to flex one way but not another.
 
The Hell Cat had the best kill ratio over the Zero of any airplane in history.

While the Zero was superior to the previous Wild Cat, it had virtually no chance against the Hell Cat ... kill ratio was 19:1.

The Hell Cat in the Pacific and P-51-D Mustang in Europe are two of the reasons we won the war. (Note: The D was the SC version, just like my car!)

The Hell Cats saved our aircraft carriers, and the Mustangs saved our bombers.

thanks mm, i knew he was wrong........
 
My 10/22 is a Delux version, so no barrel band and real Walnut checkered stock.

I don't remember if I got it in the late 60s or early 70s, but it is way more than 30 years old.

It is my favorite 22, I love the detachable 10 round mag, and we always keep it on the ready up at the cabin to dispatch porcupines. It is very light, short and handy.

It is not a target rifle, but it is plenty accurate at its useful range.

I remember a Hell Cat pilot’s story. He encountered a Zero and the Zero went straight up, he followed it. Then the Zero came back down while he was still climbing, he shot the Zero down. It had US kills painted on it. The Hell Cats had just come out and he figured the pilot thought it was a Wild Cat, he said a Wild Cat would have stalled in that climb, and that’s how the Zero had got its kills. The Zero pilot thought he had another easy kill.

One thing I HATE about 10/22's is, they sit in your hand like a beached whale! Yes I do have an OLD one, but these days it rarely gets fired.

Why do they sell so many upgrades for them? Because if you want them accurate, they need them. lol
