Working on a ramp and winch combination for loading deer into my truck.
I wet the leather for a nice tight fit around the stock of my Sav. 340. I will post pics. when done.
Rest of the day was spent in finishing the upgrades to the fish house.

Loaded some .38 Spl for Brad's wife to shoot thru my 586+.
Turned on the hose to water the plants......went down to the basement. OH CRAP!!!!
Found water running down the basement wall.....finished basement wall from a leak
when the hose bib is on. A good bit of sheet rock will be coming down. My guess
is some idiot.....who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty.....left a hose on last winter and
the drain down portion froze and ruptured, in the wall, above the ceiling.
Never saw one of those kind of hose bibs as a kid on Fla. and we left the hose on year round.
Does NOT work here.
PITA, big time.

leave a hose connected ONCE and you'll never do that again.
when I was working both of my spigots froze with a hose on them,,,,,, twice.
I piped them in the second time with a loop and a shut-off valve inside the house making it easier to replace the valves without interrupting the rest of the water supply.
I also reamed everyone that lives here a new one letting them know how much a 3/4" freeze proof spigot costs, and what a pain in the butt they are to replace in the process.

Bill,
With fresh water & no pre-existing water or mold issues an in-place dry down would save you some headaches, but time is of the essence. In as little as 72 hr the water can be as dangerous as raw sewage, unless you remove the conditions that allow it.
If your around kc, there is a supply house down there (interlink or aramsco) that would let you rent the proper equipment to dry it yourself. Some rental shops keep a supply of real drying equipment.
1. Reduce the humidity below 30%, lower the better. You can contain the area (close doors, block return air vents, 6mil plastic) to facilitate using smaller equipment. 15-20% is a good target for drying environment & removes one of the conditions required for mold to grow, high humidity.
2. Apply pressurized air movement. Axial fans or snail "carpet turbo dryer" style produce great results. You'd need at least 1 per 10' of drywall, 1 per 5 being better. The equipment we use to do this is low amperage, this allows designing the system to fit the available power/circuts. It also removes one of the conditions required for mold to grow, stagnant air.
3. Heat it up! 90-110 will dry it faster & remove one of the conditions required for mold to grow, a temp between 68-86f.
4. Leave the lights on. Not kidding, many types of microbial growth need darkness to grow.
It's not to hard, & your a smart guy. It definitely beats removing & replacing when possible. If you use a system as described it will be bone dry in 3-5 days. Those outfits may rent you a thermal imager or non penetrating moisture meter to asses & track the progress. If you have vapor barriers to dry through you want to exceed those #'s

Looks like they do mostly DuPont overhauls and rearranging the furniture in King Aires through G4-5s . Kind of out of my comfort zone after years with Beech 35, 33 55,56,58 , Twin Bonanza J3&4 and PA18-32 with just enough T-6 and 421 to keep it fresh .
Maybe it'll set with me until the loto numbers come in .
Everything else has washed out here though so I'm not holding my breath .

Went fishing today. Local reservoir. Can be there and on the water in 45 minutes. Rained off and on but not to bad. No wind which is great and it was cool. We caught our limits and was home in under 5 hours. Fish fry Saturday.
Had a great day yesterday with Bill.
My wife and I each learned quite a bit about being a better show with a handgun. We have a lot to work on but now we have some idea of what to do.
Sadly it also means I need a few new handguns. Sigh
If Bill ever comments on having a nice trigger on his 1911 he isn’t kidding. Sweet as hell. And it is the same on every one of them. Color me jealous.

Was privy to one of the first Delta Elites to hit the streets way back.Just happened to be in the right place/time thing. Anyway,I was on point with handguns at that time so when the dealer offered it up to see,"what she'll do" .... well,yeah. Factory 10mm 180's.Was at their range and figured what the hey,throw some clays up on the 100yd berm.We were busting them very regular.My impression then was it did a nice job splitting the difference between full hose 357's and 44 mags.... albeit in a bttm feeder.
Sounds like a nice visit Brad.

Hey Waco,didn't want to foul your HV 500 thread so here's today's report..... 130g Lee in my SS,SPS R700,2016,7-08.
Raining so no chrono.Started with 38g of Varget,oal set to a light to medium jam.1-4x20 Loopy wasn't getting it done,sorta?But 1 1/2" ,5 shot group @50.Seat of pants and looking at primer..... little too much poop.Barrel was almost spotless,cpl buggers and a "cute" little wash(antimony).
Hot load cause 5 shots and the brrl was a wee bit warm,haha.
Back to the bench..... put a 4-12x40 shop mule scope on( weaver mounts,popped 1-4 off).Went 37 g..... 36 is/was the start load on Steve's pages.... and backed of the seating depth .010".Back to shooting.
I bore sighted the 4-12 so was close.First two shots hit low.Cranked in some elevation and next 3 cloverleafed @50.Gonna load 10 more with this same recipe and go to 100.
I know the 38 g was prolly in at around 2500,maybe a touch more looking at the primers,and recoil.The 37 is under that obviously but it's much nicer from a stock torquing standpoint.Like a hot date..... not really a sweetheart,but got the bells N whistles,woohoo.
Mine will be in plain old 45 ACP just like intended.
Did learn that mine feeds better from GI lip magazines than the hybrid lips. GI has no hitch in feeding, the hybrid does. Thanks for helping by pointing that out Bill.
Gonna need more magazines now too.

Made a batch of «simple lube» today, slightly modified. Pan lubed some 266-140-FN, soon due for testing in my 6,5x55 (if I can only get it back from the gunsmith...). Also testing the prescribed «break in»- procedure for a couple of new .30- cal molds from NOE.
Range trip tomorrow, will test some soup cans, and .309-150-F, in .308. New alloy, completely unmodified «nuclear medicine» lead. Interesting alloy.

Had a lot of fun with Brad and his wonderful wife yesterday! Tremendous time at dinner, too.
Great to have a chance to chat for a while.
Today, I wanted some corn bread. I have a favorite recipe, which I have tweaked over the years
to suit me. So I whipped up a pan full.
Now for some butter, and a snack.
And all my 1911s have a 2 lb trigger.
