Thanks Ringel, you are our tech Prince !!!!!
I really haven't gone into how to use this thing fully yet.
Been to busy downloading books,reading them as fast as I can plus making a music list.

I'm serious, I have bought 21 books since Sept. 6th and I'm reading book 21 right now, soon to download book 22. Each book has about 300 to 400 pages.
I'm addicted to books.

Me too. And because Amazon.com e-books are so affordable, most of us can afford as many as we are able to read.

How many days until Spring? Let's skip winter and go right back into Spring.

Spring in New Mexico is usually unpleasantly windy. Fall is my favorite season here. So I say let's keep that.

Lately I have been reading some old books that I dearly loved decades ago--Airport, Giant, So Big, Hotel, The Good Earth. One of my favorite all time movies is "Out of Africa" and this past year I down loaded her book by the same name. Not a really riveting book or especially well done, but I was fascinated to find a lot of explanations for things that were shown but never explained in the movie, and also whole sections in the book that were quoted verbatim in the movie.

Then there was the aging US Marshall. I was actually toting twin Colt 1873 revolvers in the gun belt you can see. I'll try to find a shot that included one or both.View attachment 96023

1873 colts, were they percussion revolvers?

Cartridge... Among the first center fire cartridge revolvers, They fire the .45 Long Colt round that carries considerably more punch than the .45 ACP cartridge designed for the Colt 1911 semi automatic. The .45 LC when loaded for an 1873 has a bit more punch than the.44 bulldog, but less that a ,44 magnum. (used to carry one of those beasts) The cartridge can be loaded as potently as a .44 magnum, but it's not a good idea to fire that round through a revolver designed in 1873.

Yup, no modern made rounds fired out of original 1873s and some of the reproductions state "black powder loads only" though most of the cartridge reproductions are built to fire modern loads.
Same with muskets, the originals have relatively thin barrel walls, the new ones must meet modern safety requirements and are almost a pound heavier due to the added barrel wall thickness.

Mine are reproductions made to 1873 drawings. The modern steel allows modern loads, but P+P rounds will likely tear them up.

You can get out-of-copyright books for free. This site has a bunch : Project Gutenberg

If you enjoy older books, some of them real classics, you can find many of them there.

You could also try David Weber. Ringo and Weber wrote the Empire of Man series together, that was a fun read. Weber is usually more focused on larger scale fighting than Ringo, but I prefer Weber as a writer.

Both of them have published a bunch of books through Baen. They have a section of their website with free books as well. Free Library - Categories

Thank you for the link. I will check it out.
I like the ones set in the furture with genetically altered space warriors, like inhanced night vision, able to tap into main computers on space stations.
