...Strictly All Brass hulls, which, near as I can tell, never wear out (unless some ham hock steps on one).

Yep!  When I bought my Rem-UMC hulls years ago before Magtechs were around, a few at a time here and there (mostly $2 each on ebay), I have no idea how many times they had been previously reloaded.  But I have reloaded them at least 50 times each since then.  One hull had a tiny split at the top in the beginning that I ignored.  One more hull developed a tiny split at the top.  Yeah, you gets your moneys worth outa dem der shells, youbetcha! (famous Coffinmaker word).

Mako, to correct my earlier statement, the pics started showing up on my laptop, but not on the Android.  But now, they show up on both and yes they are bigger.

I was alerted to be by the phone at 10AM this morning for a surprise.

 The call came in from a 4th. grade class at Polk County's Lena Vista Elementary school.
The entire class sang Happy Birthday to me 
I don't know the first one of them, course I do know their teacher who is the wife of a friend.
 I never had a anything like that, what a great gift. 


I'm off to have 4 new tires put on my SUV, that's gonna set the mad cash in sock drawer back!

Hmm, so I checked again this morning, and the pictures did not show up here nor on my Android phone.  Then one minute later, they show up on both.  Weird.  But now I see them!

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are hot.

'Tis 28 and sunny. High of 47 and windy.

Slim

Thanks for the explanation, Mako, and I knew some of that stuff but not that name.  However, the pictures did not show up for me.  And when I tell one to open in a new tab, I get a message from https://live.staticflickr.com... that says "These aren't the droids you're looking for."
