New guy

Urny here. I just discovered this sight, signed up a couple of days ago and made my first post today, so it seems appropriate to introduce myself.

I go by Urny on other forums, and mostly read, posting little. Around 2004 or 2005 I stumbled across the an old cast bullet forum, Shooters maybe, which got me entangled with that bunch at NCBS. They were, and remain, a great bunch of people. Good to see some of them here. Many of your handles are familiar, and some of you are recognizable even if the handles have changed.

Currently in Northeast Nevada, but by the end of the year will be relocated to Southwest Missouri. Hello Ozarks.

Keep up the good work.

Urny

Welcome, good bunch of shooters, caster, etc. here willing to share their knowledge and experience.

Welcome. Glad you found us.
The Ozarks are certainly a place I could live.

Me too!

Welcome Urny, love living in the Ozarks.

There are a number of the old Shooters.com alumni here as well. Those were magical days to be sure.

Welcome!

Welcome Urny! Sorry you don't like the NE Nevada area, I love that country! But if many thought that way it would be way to crowded. Enjoy the East.

I like NE Nevada too.
it does get cold there and then hot and cold again and then real hot.

Not really up on its weather, but Elko is appealing. Wells has developed a lot since I was first through there, in '95, and I've enjoyed the drive between there and Twin Falls.

Driving along the highways, you don't really see the country. You just about have to know one of the ranchers or miners to see the beautiful areas off the roads. Plus, there are some people who don't like sage brush and bunch grass.

Ric,
No doubt as to that. Unfortunately, I've not had the chance to traipse round the many places that, from the highways, call to me.

Lived most of my life over on the west side of Nevada in the crook . Lotta beautiful places no escort or land owners needed .

Urny we met at NCBS and would you believe with your coming move you'll be closer to 2 really great get togethers than you were to Winnemucca ? A spring thing in SW Mo and a a fall thing on the west side of AR .

I'll look forward to getting together again !

Thank you all for the welcome and kind words.

Apologies if I created an impression that NE Nevada is some how not to my liking. My opinion of this place is that I would like to live here until the day I die, but diagnosis of severe asthma in my early sixties means that living at 5400 feet, and hunting sometimes at over 8000, is no longer a sensible thing for me. I live just over the hill from Elko, which used to be a wonderful small town, and is now a pretty nice small city. Retired mine millwright, surface and underground. Please do not tell people that Elko county is more than I-80. There are already too many people here who really ought to live in a really big city. The weather here? I like the weather.

Our place in Wright County, Missouri is at about twelve or thirteen hundred feet, just right for my changed circumstances. Our little farm has a 45 acre wood with Prairie Branch flowing through it. Thousands of black walnuts, oak, sycamore, cedar, southern maple, and some other trees make it a paradise for the woods loafer and hunter. We have white tail deer, turkey, squirrels, cottontails and even an occasional quail. The road is dirt/gravel and three miles north or south to pavement. There are three barns, three small ponds, and a dumpy old mobile home that has to go. Neighbors are wonderful, and few.

I remember you well Mr. Harter, and your lovely family. We will get together when my long relocation is complete and do some shooting and reminiscing. If the gatherings there can compare to NCBS, SW Missouri will truly be heaven.

358156 I agree completely that the early days of cast bullet/internet discovery were golden. Cast Boolits has grown beyond my comfort zone and I mostly dwell in the NCBS group now. I look forward to my time here.

Welcome Urny,

Ben

Thank you, Ben.

Welcome to the board!
Walter

you mean through the tunnel from Elko...
is the Chinaman's still open?,, they had some pretty good burgers there.

Hello from the mnts of Virginia.

Again, thanks to all for the welcome.

Fiver, do you mean the old, long gone Sing's (New China Cafe) in Elko, or the one in Carlin whose name escapes me right now? Sings had the best store bought burgers I have ever had, but he retired long ago, and his children left for more lucrative career's. Never had a burger in the Chinese restaurant in Carlin; the Chinese food there is to good to pass up.

the one in Carlin.
my Dad laid over there like twice a week when he worked for the Rail Road.
I never knew or heard the place called anything other than 'the Chinaman's', haven't been there since jeez,, since,,,, well, it's been a long time.
