so waht ya doin today?

[Rally]

Lamar,
You sure we weren't on the same lake yesterday? We were in two boats, anchored at the lily pad line. About twenty feet between us and the actual shore. About 9:30 two kayakers paddled through between us and shore. The lake is only 3 miles long, so maybe they felt crowded or something.

 

[Glaciers]

run a main support beam and add in a couple of trusses and that might hold up ''some'' [you know,, like 6-8"s snow.

I put ratchet straps around the ridge, purlins then across in the winter and Had as much as 16" on them. Of course we have dry fluffy snow, so it's light. If you mop on some Armor All or something slippery it comes off easily. I have to tents one rebuilt tent 12' by 12' with only three supports per side with ratchet straps In between two per channel, total of four, which has two units of plywood and a half pallet of Sheetrock.
I have a second tent, 10 x 20 with a stack of salvaged 3 sided logs From a cabin took down. Got to get building so I can use these materials up and get rid of these tents and just stay inside of my 24 x72 foot shop and make life easier.

You typed between the code for quote beginning and end. When you reply, make sure you start typing UNDER the quoted text, and hit return a couple times to give some space.

If you want to shorten or snip a long quote and only reply to part of it, do that inside the quote boxes but don't delete the quote code.

Going to head to the range.

Biggest machine I've ever seen was as a kid, drag line in the coal pits. The monster bucket here was good sized too.
tidbit while reading about old car makers. Chrysler was a train mechanic in the plains states, went to work for Buick which was owned by a guy named Nash! Willys bought into Overland, then sold some to Kaiser. Duesenberg and Miller (left to Offenhouser) worked together to make racing motors, then added coachwork manufacture to sell cars. Miller motor was cut in half by Evenrude to make outboard motors. Lockheed (Lougheed) bros, one built (barely - Hudson bomber was most successful) airplanes, the other developed hydraulic (disk) brakes.
Chrysler was from Kansas, most of the rest were from Indiana. Dodge bro. were into producing hi-tek autos, hence the constant state of the art stuff, usually dodge/plymouth. Forget who was trying to make a gas turbine car back in the 20s. None of these guys from NY or Mich. Tucker was trying to build a 5L rear engine fluid coupled auto (Buick had the dynaflow). Ford was not the first to make 'production line' motors - lycoming. Who about went out of business trying to make radials and from Continental competition.
Whoda thought?

Update: Friend got transferred to Baylor (Heart, I hope) but got breakfast this morning so surgery is probably tomorrow. Said his leg gave him fits last nite, jumping around. Good as the nerves and brain are not in too bad shape. Chem stuff evidently didn't work completely so he's going to have a bad haircut for a while.
She said were low on ice cream so going to the store. Must be excited getting out as her pulse is fast.

I did the same thing, the other day, while replying to a RicinYakama post.

 

[JWFilips]

Took out the large marauding "Grundsow" on the top of my property....gardens just went in a week ago and he knew where the food was!
Been watching him for the past week and our paths crossed this afternoon! I'm still am in the fringe of city limits so A 22 with CCI Segmented Subsonics are the usual load!
45 yards ...Heart/ lung shot....may not be fast but it is lethal! With subsonics you hear the body hit! He went about 20 feet into the woodline and that was it! 3 exit wounds ! That old bugger went at least 20 lbs,
now to find a time and place for the other 3 yearlings on the property!

 

[fiver]

except for the lily pad part we might have been.

I cut the kayakers here all the slack I can.
they gotta be all sorts of brave or willing to walk back from wherever they happen to get to shore when the wind comes up, more usually when I see one come scooting down the lake any time after about noon I know they ain't been there before.

had a nice chat with the new next door neighbor lady today.
she asked about my garden setup since she is re-doing a lot of her yard and wondered what all I had growing back there.
I was like you want the full list or just what I have had good luck with the last few years?
she laughed and was pretty cool about it when I mentioned I had something like 200 more plants to go out there, but I ain't tried everything yet.
wow you must like gardening...
uhh no, actually I'm not a fan of it,,,
but I hate mowing the lawn even more and that was the best thing I could come up with.

 

[Mitty38]

Had fun at the range today. Went to the 100 yard one about 40 miles away. Had it l by myself four hrs. Tried out fivers jammed to the lands 30 166 xcb load in my 06. He gave me the projectiles and info to work up. Just wow.
Shot several other loads in the 06 and my AR.
My eyes and reflexes were really spot on today, The wind was still the whole time.

I wish I had someone filming Fivers load, Benched and bagged taking my time, with about 3 to get on target, Then I was taking out hard boiled eggs at 100 yards.just wow. Never thought I or my cheap Axis could do that. I had never shot that well before even when I was younger. Just everything was clicking and I had an awesome load Thanks Lamar.

Almost made me ashamed of my load work ups.

Had a Great Uncle who's entire back yard was a vegetable garden. What little grass there was in front I think he mowed with a reel mower.

 

[Brad]

I dislike gardening and mowing. We moved to a house with a heavily wooded back yard.
Problem solved.

Wife thought we had a porch panda on the roof last night. Nope, just a turkey walking the ridge looking for a place to roost for the night.

 

[fiver]

no problem Emmett.
I use that same basic 4064 [where I told you about where to stop] load in my 308.
you can take it up to the Jacketed load I gave you if you want,,, but... there's that little 24-2500 fps window... LOL.
I think you found it.

 

[Ian]

All I get on the ridge are buzzards and squirrels. My horticultural routine involves walking around the house and shop with a weed eater once a year (after everything is done growing and has gone to seed) to knock back the weeds so I can spray insecticide, and cutting the driveway brush back about every five. There's a really good reason I don't live in an HOA neighborhood. I hate thistles and beggar lice so I do make a few passes in the areas where that stuff pops up in the spring and get rid of it. Had it all killed out but the deer and other critters keep tracking in the beggar lice burrs and if you miss pulling one there's hell to pay the next few years.

Mitty, it ain't rocket surgery and you don't have to have a 20-lb custom rifle with a 30" slow twist barrel to shoot good groups with cast. You just have to get the fit, the alloy, and the powder right and make sure you don't screw it all up with the wrong lube or bad reloading practices.

Yep Definatly found the sweet spot.

There's another one past that in the '06 but it requires copper-plated case necks and a case full of RX-22/granulated shot buffer.

 

[Brad]

Beggar lice are a pain in the butt. We have them in the ‘hood and we seem to find a plant in the back yard regularly. Always hated them.

 

[fiver]

yeah,,, that's the one where I, drop the buffer, switch over to copper wrappers and only shoot them at stuff I'm going to eat.

 

[Mitty38]

How about gas checked powder coated 311284 over H110 and some bird seed? Just a thought. Let's just forget I had it.
I think I am going to bed now.
