i swear they are using some sort of over pressurized machinery to flick flack them poor birds down the line.
i've been to a turkey processing plant and in the homes of people that work at one,, that smell never leaves your memory [or your house] so i can't say i blame them if they do.
Kinda like sausage, those that enjoy it should not be around while the pieces parts are being gathered!
Spent a good amount of time trying to remember all the what was it I was doing stuff before I got interrupted by other stuff that someone told me needed doing right now. Stowed the Thanksgiving decorations that someone had displayed all about the house.
My son-in-law gave me a corded oscillating saw (he went cordless), so I searched all the things it can do that I didn't know I wasn't doing, wasn't doing efficiently enough, or didn't know I needed to do, and the different kinds of blades that are available to do all those things.
With Christmas upcoming, I'm wondering if I really need to replace the old cordless circular saw. How many times a year do I use it? How difficult is it to uncoil an extension cord and use the corded one?
I'm not giving up my corded skill saws. Maybe there is a battery powered saw out there that will power it's way through dozens of green 2x10's but I can't think of why I'd need one. What IS handy in cordless is a reciprocating sawsall. If I had a dollar for every time I was under a crawlspace or up in some rafters and the extension cord I'd knotted together came undone, or the times I spent 45 minutes on my knees in the snow with a hacksaw trying to cut apart some mangled hunka something I'd smashed in the woods... I could probably buy several of us here a nice supper!
I looked at a Carcano today pretty clean, beautiful gun. All matching.
Got a chance to get it for 180. The owner said he can't afford the ammo, he has been shooting Norma 156 grain. Says it will not get better then 6 inch groups and stove pipes abourt a third of the time anyway. So it will not do what he wants.
I walked for now. Got enough projects unfinished.
Took the wife's Bersa out for a real test drive after some gun smithing. Ran 100 round thru it no issues. So on to the next project.
IMO finding a good shooting Carcano is not an easy thing. And even if you do, then what? I suppose the horrid example I was exposed to that wouldn't hold a 6" group at 50 feet back in the 70's, with Norma 156 factory stuff, soured me. Part of the reason I've never bought the Lee Harvey Oswald story.
My double faced, double bottomed wool motorcycle jodphurs, had the sap pocket on the right leg convenient to the fall of your hand. I had inherited these from an older motor officer along with his puttees when he gave up riding. I'm sure in 1980 they were older than I was.
I had several pair of the old wool "winter" Troop pants. All had the sap pocket. I was always going to get a good big sap but it never happened. Those heavy trousers sure were nice at accident scenes at 40 below! Our later issued trousers came sans sap pocket and were pretty thin. The wind would cut right through you. If you dressed for the weather you'd sweat like crazy indoors and invariably you'd have to ride with someone that demanded the fires of hell type heat in the car. If you dressed for that, you'd find yourself on a road block or directing traffic for hours in miserable cold. Couldn't win!
Well, we got about 2-3" of white stuff. Nice cold breeze too. I hate winter, just hate it.
