Check out my new texas-mac.net website

Some of you guys may remember that I let my old website expire a couple of years ago due to obsolete software & I could not justify the increased cost. My Grandson who is in his 4th year at UT Dallas and will graduate with a dual degree in Elect. Engr. & Computer Science surprised me with the new website yesterday. He located the old info & downloaded all my articles from the archive on this forum, then wrote some code and used AI to help format & organize it. He will continue to maintain the site. We did have to change the domain extension from .com to .net. So, check it out. My book, other stuff for sale in the store section & all my articles are listed for your reading pleasure.

This is great! Your site and book helped me a ton when I got into bpcr, and got my first winchester traditional hunter, then moved to a bpcr. Was a real loss when the old site went down.

An amusing comment.  As I mentioned, my 21yr old grandson is in his 4th year in college.  When he called & surprised me with the website, I asked him to include a USPS money order option for folks buying the book.  The response was a long pause, then he asked, "what's a money order?".  Since he was setting at his desk, I could hear him quickly typing on his computer.  Then he said, "Oh, you can get them at the Post Office".  He was well aware of the newer forms of online payment, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Cash, etc., but was not aware of money orders.  Grin

Thanks Bob.  Your comments are way too generous.  I enjoy experimenting, writing articles and sharing my results.  When I decided to write & self-publish the book on the Browning & Winchester BPCRs, I thought I'd be lucky to sell a hundred copies.  With sales currently approaching 20 times that amount it's been a very pleasant surprise.

It's worse than that. I went into a hardware/everything emporium recently, founded by a gentleman who just passed away at the age of 85. I went in and asked two helpers easily in their Fifties where their drill indexes were. I had to state what they contained to get directions. The rot is progressing.
