Gotta Love FaceBook

I bought this one the FB Marketplace, but it was more of a restoration challenge than a buy and shoot. Airguns are rare in the marketplace. You've just got to do searches for what you're interested in.
I've bought all kinds of stuff there from go karts to music equipment.

I discovered something interesting about that. My wife has a "family only" account. She posts pictures all the time even though I've asked her not to. Somebody managed to do a picture search and find me through her photos. He had no access to see her page, but I still popped up in a search. Once he did that, all kinds of info about me started coming out linked to that one damn picture. Fb started in with the sign up bs til I sent those to spam. Luckily, it hasn't connected to my shell account.I guess I should have said I get those too, but not many lately - I think they gave up on me. Of course I have not been in it for a while, so that might be it. But those e-mails are just a form of spam, and you can automatically send them to junk - there will never be anything in there that matters.
The funny thing was that when I first signed up I did so with a brand new gmail address purposely created for use for FB. It had no history of any kind, and when I joined they had NO idea who I was - they used to recommend random people around the country as they had no clue who this email represented. It was funny. I only used to log in at work on my company computer (allowed, of course) during lunch and see what my kid was up to, and they had no clue who I was.
Then one day I decided I wanted to show my parents some stuff on their grandkid and I loaded the app on my iPhone. BAM! They instantly knew who I was, and they started recommending my actual friends to me. Of course I never did send any requests. To this day even my wife and kids cannot find any clue of me on Facebook no matter how they search, but Facebook now knows who I am. So if you really want to be anonymous, use a dedicated e-mail address and don't log in on any "registered" device . . .
I guess I ended up getting that library card anyways, but I still never check anything out from FB . . .

When I get those I ask the sender, "What's the difference between a Bentley & a dead prostitute?" Then I answer, "I don't have a Bentley in my garage!" Never hear back from them!

I have never visited FB, but accidental a couple of times by pressing " this link " have sent me there
Right now youtube slammed me hard, i cant even see my own videos unless i just uploaded it.
I just get a black box saying
1: you can get premium and pay, and hand over some information.
2: you can say yes to anything we ask you, and let us mine all your information.
I think my time using youtube to kill time are over, it is also the last google product i use.
Mind you i am not going to any of the other SOSH sites

Its an original Sheridan "Intermount" that I got back in the 70's.
I actually like the performance of the Amazon mounts better. I have a couple sets of those.

all i found are the "fiber " ones, not steel . I find the ones made of fiber can twist a little under a scope , not much but just laying the gun on its side can introduce a slight twist in the mounts enough to move poi an inch @ 16 yards .

Or how about this one.
Albert Einstein arrives at a party and introduces himself to the first person he sees and asks, "What is your IQ?" to which the man answers "230."
"Wonderful!," says Albert. "We will talk about the Grand Unification Theory and the mysteries of the Universe. We will have much to discuss!"
Next Albert introduces himself to a woman and asks, "What is your IQ?" To which the lady answers, "142."
"That is great!," responds Albert. "We can discuss politics and current affairs. We will have much to discuss!"
Albert asks the next person, "What is your IQ?" to which the man answers, "49."
Albert responds, "Are you on Facebook?"

Well. She did message me again. Asked about the bodies out back.
Then threatened to have the Government investigate.
I told her Yes I have multiple buried out there. All Female. Then told her about the Male Red haired guy I had to drag into the woods cause the ground was frozen and I couldn't dig a grave.
I might have forgotten to tell her they were all pets that had passed away.
I'd be happy if the Government comes and digs up the yard.
There's a drain tile that needs fixed back there.
