A BIG THANK YOU to all the customers and friends wishing me a good and quick recovery. All is going well but taking its time. Both shoulders have some healing to go, but it is the most recent replacement (left) that is preventing me from providing full services. My brain tells my hand what needs to be done, but the shoulder and arm in between don't want to comply yet. While I am taking some business at the moment, I fully intend to be back to restorations and machine work as soon as feasibly possible. Cheers-

Used to watch this as a youngster when I could keep my eyes open.

Bill Cardille, known as "Chilly Billy" while host of the popular "Chiller Theatre" aired on WIIC / WPXI Channel 11 in Pittsburgh in this photo taken in the 1970s. Born in Farrell, PA, Cardille was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Cardille of Sharon and was a 1947 graduate of Sharon High School. He majored in English and speech at the State Teachers College (today I.U.P.) at Indiana where he played varsity tennis and basketball. Cardille had a nightly record program on WDAD radio in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, in 1951. He first worked in television at WICU in Erie beginning on January 19, 1952. He was for many years a fixture on Channel 11 (WIIC/WPXI) in Pittsburgh. He was the first voice heard when WIIC went on the air on September 1, 1957. He became best known for being the host of "Chiller Theatre" and was nicknamed "Chilly Billy". Cardille also hosted other programs including Studio Wrestling and a combination game show /movie program that ran in the late afternoon. He also hosted a teen dance show "The 6 Oclock Hop", the Four O'Clock Money Movie, and Movies to Laugh By for WIIC. For many years he was the local host for the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon. Cardille appeared in both the 1968 original version and the 1990 remake of the movie "Night of the Living Dead", the television movie "The Assassination File" and in the documentary "American Scary". Cardille also called the play-by-play of western Pennsylvania high school basketball playoff games for many years on WQED-TV. Cardille also hosted morning radio shows on Pittsburgh radio stations WWSW and WIXZ. He also co-hosted $50,000 Jackpot Bingo on WPXI weeknights with Kate English from Feb. 10 thru Dec. 26 in 1986. Outside of broadcasting, Cardille owned and operated Chilly Billy Cardille Travel and Tours in Wexford for many years which was managed by his son, Bill Jr. Cardille was also the father of actress Lori Cardille who played the lead role in Romero's "Day of the Dead" and also was an extra as one of the zombies towards the end of "Day of the Dead".

GUNSMITH TRIVIA - Season 2, Question #23

These days the myth that a longer barrel always shoots more accurate than a shorter barrel has been debunked repeatedly. But with that, a safe rule is that the words "always" and "never" should not be used without 100% physical and statistical proof. SO..., what are the two primary, yet very basic important issues (though there are many, and aside from legal issues) to determine just how short your barrel should be with a given cartridge to maintain as much accuracy and efficiency as possible?
