unk greg

PM sent. Bro-in-law interested. For some reason he can't get on board, password not working. i need contact info for you to pass along to him....he lives in Toledo.

Latest auction results....for your memory banks..... https://bid.kaufman-auctions.com/auctions/catalog/id/31679/

Skipped ahead to fruits. Yep....I eat grapes, apples and oranges....no, no, no. Nuts are okay....good, I like cashews...oh wait, not so much on the cashews. Burnt again. Somebody told me the "Caveman" diet.....just like them good ole pre-history times. More reading to ensue. Incidentally....my sugar exploration and eating. Diabetic and related heart. Fasting blood sugar reading should be in the 80's (no idea what that means). I read the meter that sips on a drop of blood. Then after eating, the second reading, which tells the effect of your meal. Book says shouldn't peak any higher than 140 to 145. Chinese... I was good on first reading. 1 hour later after take-out Chinee, the reading was 200. Oops, no more Chinee!

Book is: 60 Ways to Lower Your Blood Sugar, by Dennis Pollock. I'm just to the chapter on beans. 🏃🗯

I enjoy salmon as well.....now to the centipede recipe....that's a no go.....itz fried! Thanks for the link on diabetic eats......doc gave me a book to read on diet. Surprisingly, I'm not too far off. Never one for sweets and desserts. Don't use salt as I figure enuff in processed food already. I have cut back on portions. No more seconds and the red meat is to be no bigger than a deck of cards.

It be the sugar/diabetic discovery. Anything white is out.....potatoes, obviously white sugar...well, sugar anyway.....if I ate it, it is no longer a welcome addition to my diet or my menu. Dietician said the more legs it has.....the more it's not to be eaten....fish -no legs. Ok for consumption.👨‍🍳

Diet? if it tastes good......spit it out!!!

Ok, I'm home now. Last three weeks with three visits to hospital (scheduled). I'm on a first name basis with hospital staff at reception and sign-in stations. For instance, Deb is a Vegan....not alien Vegan, but diet type. Her husband is in Texas doing construction work. Her son is an Air Force "spook" - there goes his clearance now, right? Stationed in Japan....that speaks volumes I guess, to me. Double hernia and coordination with Cardiologist on upcoming surgery. She had interceded, interjected, interrupted and postponed surgery until today. That's ok, better safe than sorry, right? It was for visits to hospital for tests then, too, run to the doctor's office to discuss test results, yadda, yadda .....guessing she (she is a Filapeena) wanted to be sure I would make it thru the hernia ops....🤕 Given the past surgeries vs today's escapade.....this was the most painful. I actually took pain medication for the after effects (or should that be affects? Carlos?!!?) on this one. The past open heart surgery was a breeze for me".....no stents could be used here...although not an in and out deal like today's event. Smiling as I got several comments on the bevy of nurses and techs with a doctor or two thrown in, hovering around. It took 5 hours from today's report in, to my release and sent home. Slow moving for now. No driving, they said. So I presume no motorcycle outings then?......OH, NO, was the chorus reply! At home it is a "Barricade" constructed to keep my two canine buddies at distance. I'll prollee live-sleep in the recliner for the next few days. The industrious black lab has already probed for weak spots. 😏 I got most of the yard mowed a few days ago, and contracted for further mowings....not sure how long I'll be laid up. Momma is/has notified the family members re: so I am letting the rest of the world know. Later. Doing well, toodles. Feeling good, but then it was a rather large pain pill.

Yet another....for anyone interested..... https://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/photopanel.cgi?listingid=3651328&category=0&zip=44654&kwd=Guns

Two more auctions.....Colt snake guns. There were 6 in one guy's collection and 4 in the other auction......bringing a low of 2 grand to high of 4 grand. Marlins are climbing in price, and these didn't have the JM stamp. Learned about a German single shot 12 ga., Mauser Geha. They were passed out to German citizens so they could shoot the pigeons. Allies used homing pigeons to send messages back to headquarters (?). i suppose a dinner of "squab" was of a secondary benefit.

Nice. Very nice. I am envious.

Latest auction:

Check the link: https://bid.kaufman-auctions.com/auctions/catalog/id/30581/ , as noted above. The Russian one had a poor refinish on the wood.....looked like someone just varnished it. Pic in the link....scroll to ya find it.

Ok, resting a bit.....6 auctions in a week. The 630 plus guns listed above.......I thought prices were high. One rifle brought $8000.00! Yes, one rifle. I know there are some out there commanding 5 figures, but they ain't usually at auctions I attend. This last auction I attended, seemed to be a better bit of pricing. The link shows sold for.....that amount is the winning bid, plus 10% buyer's premium and sales tax (auction on the auction house premise means, store and they charge sales tax). They will ship long guns out of state (you pay)....FFL paperwork was involved (Kaufman's seem to want to check off all the boxes on their sales). A whole bunch of items are headed to Georgia, the US state, not former ussr. Bidder #100. He buys a lot.....the first sixty items sold this auction and 53 were bidder #100. I may have mentioned him before..... https://bid.kaufman-auctions.com/auctions/catalog/id/30581/ The two SKS rifles, one was Russian made, neither had matching numbers......managed to get a good price in spite of not having matching numbers.

Correcting myself....the 1000 rds of .556 at $575.00, I thought was way over priced. Today I ran around some of the shops...first stop was 1000 rds at $799.99. The second place had them marked at $899.99, but no limit. You could buy as many boxes as you wanted (yeah, at $899.99). My final stop for the afternoon....790 rds for $760 (?), but ya got a ammo can....

Today I learned.....scratching your head means you bid a thousand $ on a Remington 700 BDL in .308 cal. it got resolved and sold two bids later. 🙄 You forgot toilet paper. That will command in trades.

Found this.....pics. Somewhere out in the nether world of the internet would be the results posted (sold for prices). https://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/photopanel.cgi?listingid=3643826&category=0&zip=&kwd= From the netherworld.... https://live.proxibid.com/BidderWeb/main.do?auctionId=216623&wo=false#|216623|show-me-catalog-item|

Here's the catalog I rec'd in the mail: https://www.airworksauction.com/auction-information-downloads/Nelson Weaver 2022 Airworks Gun Auction Catalog.pdf yeah, the air works auction was going on at the same time.....yikes!

I watched a young Amish guy carrying his 3 cases of .556. AR' s...truly a farmer's rifle. Lotsa varmits need to be taken care of. 😃 Last auction tammarah......so far I've not been lucky to win a bid. CheyTac went for just under new $. I missed the Colt Python. I was thinking on it, but with the prices things were bringing....I also figured no for a cheap buy. The prices that the guns are bringing will keep me out. Today, a Winchester 42, .410, pigeon grade brought $8000.00. I lusted after a matched set of shotties in a leather covered hard case. Ammo......sold for: 150 rds, of 9mm, 115 gr., 3 boxes -$65...ammo sold in lots, not each. $65 divided by 3 then. 250 rds of Winchester .556, 62 gr @ $130. 300 rds. 115 gr. 9mm @ $150. Some lots were a single box. Ya get the idea.

Auction results of one of five auctions..... https://www.proxibid.com/Atlee-Raber-Auctions/Gun-Auction-Day1-Collection-2-75-Guns/event-catalog/216620 if you were interested. 20,000 rds of ammo too, but not listed....just figure twice as much as you normally see it priced. ($525 for a thousand .556).

Just saw the Kaufman auction posted for Dec. 12. Online and skimmed through it. https://bid.kaufman-auctions.com/auctions/catalog/id/29897/ i see some more of my items have reappeared. The Argentine "sporterized" Mauser at $30 right now. I think it brought $250 at my auction... cruise thru listings and enjoy. That means I am planning a road trip for Monday. Go see in person. Snake gun at a good price....hmmm?
