    What Is Your Longest Solo Road Trip?

    Long trip to Portland when my uncle was sick in the VA hospital there. Got home about 4:30 PM from work and wife told me he was dying so I grabbed some clothes and toothbrush and toothpaste and headed out with a paper map in my hand. I made close to the border of Idaho and Oregon before I had...

    Lee Pro 4000

    I have just seated all my primers to bottom out If they do not bottom out you may need to tap them 2 times or more to get the magnum ones to go off. I have never cut my pocket depths to try and match them. Most accuracy I have found in brass prep is neck surface finish and neck tension. Those 2...

    Only One

    Heavy short barrel stupid accurate .223. I have many caliber rifles and I shoot and hunt with my heavy 18" barrel savage .223 the most because it is just stupid accurate. But I will say if I had another caliber that could match it I would choose that. I am not a name or caliber snob I just...

    Any HVAC Techs Here?

    I have many instances where engineers were super dumb. If they were so smart in 1984 they would have built a much larger coil area on that 2.5 ton unit and dropped the head pressure significantly and lowered running load amps significantly. They were cranking out stuff to make money. Do not...

    Lee Pro 4000

    I had to make a different stiff arm on my 1000 to get the shells all the way in. The 4000 uses some springs and man is it smooth.

    Any HVAC Techs Here?

    Might be a bad idea in some instances like where you are not dealing with 4 dogs and cottonwood. But a weekly clogged unit could be even worse. Buddies unit is way undersized and has been in service since 1984. 1500 sq ft home and a 2.5 ton 1984 unit. It did not take much debris to turn that...

    Carpet removal aluminum deck pontoon

    I have a small section 4x4 foot. Then it is work on carbs time to get this thing to idle. Some buddies have decided it is time to work on their hot rods and talk me into building carbs and stabbing distributors in because they are too dumb to do it. You work on this stuff all your life you...

    Lee Pro 4000

    Buddy got one and he is new to reloading. Not new as in a couple years but new as in only loaded 3 rounds of 9 mm. He loved it and got to searching for presses and liked the old 4 hole Lee turret press and bought a 4000 kit. I have not even heard of the 4000 and I got to use it and it does...

    Shen Yun

    I just want to know if they jump really high like Ninjas or fly through the air like a Shaolin Monk. Or if it is on the ground ballet stuff boring people do??

    Any HVAC Techs Here?

    Window screen will not restrict it as much as coils covered in debris. It only takes 2 minutes to clean that screen so weekly is no issue. We have dozens of tall cottonwoods lining the creek 100 yards away and buddies house backs up to the creek and his coils were clogged in a week when it...

    Any HVAC Techs Here?

    @Letfreedomring nailed it I have used window screen wrapped around the outside unit and held in place with strong magnets. Way too simple. Then debris does not fall off though but cottonwood can be brushed away with your hands and it balls up in your hands like a ball of cotton. Add that to...

    Making .250 Savage brass from .300 Savage brass

    I use Hornady Unique case lube. NO need for a single stage. Use this lube or Imperial sizing die wax. Inside of case mouth can be lubed with a Qtip you have swirled in the case lube. 1 swirl should do 10-15 cases easily. It does not take much. Use it on the outside of the case also. I...

    Feral hog poison

    If people start setting poison for hogs then I guess as said K vitamin will cure sickness from it I will need to stock up on K. I love eating wild hogs. I do not care for store meat.

    It's time to remove my wedding ring.

    I can see the bone or knuckle could also grow larger with age or arthritis. No soap will get it past that. I have never wore a ring in my life and never owned one either. Married for decades but never got a ring or any jewelry for myself because that is for girls in my mind. My mind is a bit...

    Fishing

    This was Mondays catch after being on the Arkansas river bank way below lock 16. This picture I took after cleaning 21 sandbass from that icechest. The blue cat is 21" long. I took the wife and grandson there yesterday and the bite got really good a couple hours before dark. Grandson (just...

    Fishing

    Arkansas river below lock 16 and even down stream by the rock jetties are full of hungry sandbass. Went yesterday and got tired of catching them and caught nearly 20 catfish between the 2 of us that went. caught 2 stripers and 1 drum. I like drum. SHAD Fillet was the bait of choice but caught...

    Plastic gas tank repair

    I tried it on a 5 gallon plastic gas can and it ate right through the stuff. But maybe I got a bad batch.

    South West OK Rv

    Really! You think I would actually go that high tech. Some or maybe all of those Frontiers are leaf springs in the rear. I would dig through my pile of leafs and add some and get coil over helper shocks. But even that stuff is not really needed if you get a load leveler hitch sometimes called...
