At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
Yeah Im shooting more wheel guns cause I can drop brass in my hand then box instead of off the floor with my 1911's
Which is part of why I prefer wheelguns to bottom feeders in the first place! My range has no "floor", it's got dirt, grass and weeds. You can loose a bright red 3" 12ga hull in that stuff! A 380 case hasn't got a chance!

Marriage is a team. Marriage is a union.

Marriage is a Teamsters Union.

Got this from some comedian on the Ed Sullivan show many moons ago. Might have been Allen King

I got three tips today, first-hand.

1. The balance point of a gun safe is not in the middle front to back because the door weighs a lot more than than the back.

2. If it falls over door side down on a stack of three, large, pillow dog beds instead of face planting directly onto concrete, it might not wreck the controls and you might get it open again.

3. A black Sharpie is good for touching up scuffs and large scratches. Bondo and a few stickers cover up the dents.

Not a scratch on me from that, my jump-back reflexes are tuned to 11 when moving heavy crap by myself. The Remington 1100 bare barrel that was on the pillows can be saved by sawing it off at 20".

All that, got it safely unloaded in my garage with straps and chain hoist, most stuff put away, and then I peeled all the skin and most of the flesh off of my thumb knuckle moving a frigging LAUNDRY BASKET. SMH.

Here's one few people need anymore. If you have sintered bronze bearings on a power tool you will find this works very well:

Find a small vacuum seal jar big enough to hold the bearing(s) and oil. Put your gear in it and fill with your choice of oil... I have just used what goes in the truck and it seems fine.

Keep the lid loose and set the jar in a pot of water, bring to a boil and hold for 10 minutes. Take out the jar and crank the lid down. Set on the counter to cool. It sucks the oil in and no more overheated shafts.

Check all the registers after the duct cleaners leave - and open the closed ones with a broom handle so you don't have to get the stepladder out. I don't have a problem picking up brass off the ground, but getting back up off the knees is difficult.

That hard to focus and hard to reach problem is the result of "short arm" disease. There might be a correlation with the dreaded "dunlaps" bug as well. (as in my belly dunlaps over my belt)
Which is worse, dunlap or dickydo?
