Today is our 58th wedding anniversary.
Today is also the last day that we can walk in at restaurants . Take out only after today.
We will go out to dinner.
Our governor here in Oregon has put us into another lock down for 2 weeks. We know she will extend it after the 2 weeks.

Congratulations!!! 58 years!!

Yeah I'd say something about your Governor being a piece of work, but that would be getting into politics which I won't do. Kids and Grandkids live in Ashland.

don't feel bad, Utah is in lockdown again and we are heading there soon.
or local township's establishment is trying to flex their muscles too but are being brushed off by the citizenry.
but I'm pretty positive the governor is gonna do some sort of modified stage 2 thing here soon.

I don't even know what stage 2 is soo, shrug, i'll just keep on doing whatever it is I'm doing.

BWC has been going around here. Closing down any businesses wherever customers, or employees, are not seen wearing masks, and mask less customers are not being refused service. We are down to one Convenient store- Gas station, near our Town.
They have a walk up so they are allowing that option for mask less, the customers are complying, to the dual service policy, and the BWC seems to be ok with that.

My,. 556 brass
I have always just took a drill bit, or a Phillips head bit in the drill, to cut a taper in and crimp out. Never had an issue ever. Of course I clean up for a once a month LEO practice session. Seem to get just enough to keep me and a couple locals in a good rotation of brass. So I do not even mess with anealing, only use my brass twice then throw it away.

I had a Dr. appointment at 9:30 this am. We were driving home at 12.30 an within a 1/2 mile of our driveway. Their is a set of bear tracks in the snow going rite down the road. it turned off into the brush about 200 y. from our driveway.
First thing i did when we got home was to check inside my polebarn to see if the 1.5 deer that are hanging were still their. Second thing i did was close the door. If the bear shows up to claim one of my deer. He will have to break through one of the garage doors.
Now we have to worry about our bird feeders.

Did a little yard work. Then in the garage, I found 150 brand new 30/30 cases - winchester. 2 boxes of 100 cnt WWB 40sw + 250 or so already loaded cast 40sw. Ammo box of 30/30 factory stuff. 1/2 half case 20ga. Need to look in that corner more often.

Yes, indeed--Happy 58th Anniversary to Mr. & Mrs. Dale!

Fiver--Your mode of operation is pretty much how most Californians have run their affairs since the abundantly-obvious fraudulent nature of the 2020 ScamDem-ic took root. They pretend to rule us, we pretend to obey. To paraphrase P.J. O'Rourke--"Giving extraordinary powers to politicians is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenaged boys." Humbug and horse-warp.

With the worktable cleared of debris from MidwayUSA--and said debris stored in orderly fashion--I have commenced to doing the Sinclair tool bit in the 243 with the various bullets I will give test-drives to--including castings (RCBS #6mm-95-SP and Lyman Loverin #245496). Also on deck are the Barnes Varminators for use in Kalifornistan and elsewhere if they shoot halfway-decently. I have an E-mail in to Barnes concerning their recommendation for leade clearance with these designs--I do know they recommend a minimum of .050" of clearance with their TSX and TTSX designs, so we shall see what they say in response.

Good luck with those Barnes solids, I tried everything I could think of to make them shoot in my 7mm Rem Mag (150 gr. old style before they started cutting relief, lube grooves???? in them). They grouped from poor to worse, I gave up on them. My rifle didn't like them even a little bit.

Got deck? Yep!

Yesterday my nephew gave two of his crew the day off, from the multi-million dollar house they're building in Clint Eastwood Tahama, so they could finish the deck by adding the steps -- one single-step 13-footer and one two-step five-footer.
It took a while longer than was initially planned, but we understand my nephew's priorities.

My experience with the Barnes Condor Cuddlers has been that they do not have the accuracy potential of Nosler Partitions or Ballistic Tips, in my guns they run about 20%-40% larger 5-shot groups at 100 and 200 yards. E.g., my Ruger 77R in 6.5 x 55 Swede groups several makers' lead-core 140 grain J-words @ 0.6 to 0.8 MOA, and the absolute BEST I can get with the Barnes offerings (1 each of TSX and TTSX) is about 1.2-1.4 MOA. Deer-capable, certainly--but just not as good. Heck, cast #266469s can beat out the Cuddlers if kept around 1700 FPS. The grooved Cuddlers are the only examples I've tried out. If I had real choices, either NosParts or soft-point castings would be my choices.

The good news--the TSX/TTSX bullets give outstanding terminal ballistics, and perform as advertised--this from guys I know and hunt with.

Made My wife home made chicken soup today but Instead of water I used Home made chicken stock for a double punch!
Topped off by home made Egg Noodles!. Man making the noodles were a workout for an old guy!
She just went wild ! Nice surprise...

I have to take her in for a Heart CAT procedure on Thursday...so I'm trying to do as much in the house as I can. I'm pretty worried... she is a very active woman but to see he sidelined like this is scary! I'm used to see her playing tennis 3 days a week but all of a sudden she gets exhausted just doing every day things! I know there has to be a problem some where.... She went through a CAT scan and a stress test in the past weeks but everything is inconclusive! Heart Doc things there is a blockage some where.... Hope we find out after Thursday

JW,
All the best to your wife, and hope whatever the scan discovers has an easy and painless remedy.

JW, prayers from our house for a quick, happy, resolution to your wife's challenges.

Mitty - I'm very slow today - what's BWC?
Bureau of workers compensation.
Sorry it's an Ohio thing. They are State ran insurance that most all employers must have to operate. They pay benefits to those who are injured at work and their medical bills.If they say you are not insured you do not do business.
Not to get too political but since they have the authority to close unsafe business by refusing them insurance, then they have been expanded by our governer to become the coved police.
Please I would rather go no further in this conversation, I will end up getting banned.
