Wade from tech support called tonight, seems we have wormholes in our registar program and we're being defrauded from off site.   ::)


Hung up before he got to the part about me activating a bunch of gift cards to help track it and giving them to someone when they show up. ;D

Alerted the distric manager so she could start making calls.  

Smitty from tech support called about an hour later and now the cell towers in the area were down and now we we're being scammed that way.  

Hung up again and called Mary.   Two Omaha  stores had dummies working and got scammed.

Stopped snowing, finally. Nothing stayed around for very long.

Got that FAA test out of the way.  Passed it with room to spare. History class went pretty well, too.  Got a much better grade on a paper than I thought I should have, but I'm not one to complain about these things.

Spent some time with my girlfriend before dinner, played a game of pool and talked for a while just to get away from studying.  Now she's off studying for a final tomorrow, while I'm sitting in my room listening to music.

Speeding ?    here in Fl. it's  $204 - $254  on up  and point(s) even worst your Insurance goes up and that stays at the new cost.

https://youtu.be/_x2m6i4KFqg

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
This old engine makes it on time
Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine
Hits River Junction at seventeen two
At a quarter to ten you know it's travelin' again
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Trouble ahead, Lady in red
Take my advice you'd be better off dead
Switchman's sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Drive your train, whoo
Trouble with you is the trouble with me
Got two good eyes but you still don't see
Come round the bend, you know it's the end
The fireman screams and the engine just gleams
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
Driving that train, high on cocaine
Casey Jones you better, watch your speed
Trouble ahead, you know, trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind
And you know that notion just cross my mind

Good afternoon all.

Sitting here in the Havre train station waiting for the westbound Empire Builder.  Supposed to get into the station at 2:40, but checkout at the hotel was 11, so I've been sitting here for a while already. Got another while to go.

I recently discovered the latest trend in coffee consumption while perusing the internet. It's called "Keto" or "Bullet Proof" coffee. I'll let y'all look it up at your own discretion, but I saw this monstrousity at breakfast this morning and came close to losing my appetite.

Keto coffee ain't new or discovered by Yuppies.

Butter in coffee or tea is common in Eastern Europe.   Butter keeps better than cream if you don't have refrigeration.  Put it in a crock in the cellar.  Good way for those off grid people if the sun don't shine and the wind don't blow and you got no legtrivity.  Probably can read all about it on those living off the grid boards.  How that works is beyond me. Had a lady join our cast iron cooking group the other day going on about living off the grid.  Several of us pointed out the net is part of the grid.   She told us off and left the group.  Rough group but a lot of good knowledge in it if you ain't a whiny snowflake.

32 and foggy here. Not really forecast to change.

My plans for today include some nothing, followed by more nothing.  I may walk the dog, though I twisted my knee yesterday, so I may forgo that step.

My girlfriend is on a plane now, flying to Denver, then on to Spain for vacation with her family. That will be an interesting ordeal, I'm sure.

here is the news as offered...

A Model 1917 Eddystone came home with me today .... I'll do some photos tomorrow ( weather drizzly & cloudy all day )
Barrel date indicates 1-18 , SS# match to date ....original blue 80% or better ....all parts E stamped , Ordinance bomb present on Receiver & bolt & barrel.
Extractor spring is not broken , Bore is bright with strong rifling, Head Space is a go, ...Sights are E marked.
The wood had been sanded but not abused.... I think the upper hand guard is a replacement ( its a shade darker ) but has a E .
 So far it all Eddystone, no armory mismatched parts.  

Probably slug it tomorrow , before reassembly....  EDIT: slugged @ .308  - found an R on the Stock after Cosmolene or RENAISSANCE WAX or whatever the gook was....

Planets aligned and the trade was made  ;D ....my FFl had a pretty nice Remington Bayonet with 6-1-1918 date I grabbed for $20

  1  HAPPY CAMPER

M-2, I don't know what the P-17 set you back, but any US bayonet in good shape for $20 will make a happy camper.

MY 1903 has a better trigger than my P-17, but I still shoot better with the 1917, at leastr with jacketed loads. Have not had success with my cast GAF loads.

So far today, I have not done anything of value except cook some eggs and take the dog out to pee.  In a couple hours we're going out squirrel hunting again, so that is sort of useful.

Mornin Y'all, Just had to replace the battery on my Daughters cay, was 5 years old, which is pretty good for this area. $100.00 plus tax and a $5.00 core charge to make sure I returned with the dead battery, I fooled them because I had it with me, Not worth the drive there and back for $5.00. I did some research and found out that Walmart had the best price, Auto Zone and Advance Auto wanted $150.00 & $160.00 for there store brand battery, which is made by the same company that makes Walmarts.

I will probably start looking to Wally World for batteries next. For a long time, O'Reillys was where I went, they were competitive in price, but no more at around 150-170, and recently I found they had dropped all the long 4, 5 or 6 year warrantees, only 2 year now. Warranty service was the main reason I was using them.

I'm not, but I know some about it.... There many blends & flavors.... most develop a fondness for mixes over packaged brands.
There mild, harsh, mellow, sweet, aromatic , fine & courser cuts , if you think it easier than a stogie ....you gonna get an education  :)

Depends on what type of cigars you like. I like medium to Maduro cigars (Foundation Charter Oaks Maduro is my favorite. The Petit is just about a 70 minute smoke for me, but I digress).  My favorite pipe tobacco right now is a mix I made from three other blends. I take two blends from the tobacco store Smoker Friendly, their Sweet and Natural and Cherry flavor. The third is old fashioned Velvet pipe tobacco(same stuff my grandpa smoked). I mix those in equal parts and smoke it through my cob.  I have some in a jar "cellaring" right now.

Coffee's on , and some of the Wife's seasonal bake goods, leftovers after "SHE" all her cookie plate rounds....
43 ° this morning,  clear a bell ....

Going to have Lunch with Coffinmaker ( down on his annual Mouse venture )


Had comedy of errors ...I ordered 30/06 dies for loading my 1917 Enfield from Amazon.com supposed to arrive at my home 20 on Friday  the 21st.   

Got a email it was delivered, left in the MAIL ROOM  ???  ( strange  :-\  should be my home mailbox ) but I also got an email ,  there was package for me at work ( I had left for the day... Ok so I check my home MAIL BOX ..nothing ) 
I check tracking to see if they send it to my work....NO  it was sent to my home , OK then its not here...

So I called AMAZON for clarification.... Customer Service they will check with carrier while I wait ... seem s it was delivered

to different address different street... but add that address is 23 FEET away ...REALLY ????  I live on acreage my own mailbox is 400 feet away !!!    So they offer apologies and will send a replacement...  that's acceptable I tell them...

I have no Idea what package is waiting at work.... and since I've got Holiday until Wed. I won't know...

Now the comedy part....seems the mail came early at home this day, normally 4pm of later... Friday it came a 1PM
 "SHE" that shall be obeyed , intercepted it...had it with her ! on her drive around delivering her cookies , ( thats why the Mail BOX was empty @ 4:30 when I got home  ::)

"SHE" has my 30/06 dies package ... So I call Amazon  :-[  and tell them to cancel ...to late they say , replacement have been sent to be delivered TODAY , special carrier.... I have a free shipping account .

SO I say, I'll return them....NOT necessary I'm told ...they won't issue a return .... guess I'll have 2 sets of 30/06 dies.


Wonder whats at work  ???

Enjoy your meetup with the Coffinmaker, M-2. Never met him, but his writing"s a hoot.

It's not hard to hit the wrong item on the postal scanner's  menu, and if you don't notice at first, you have about a 15 second window to correct it, before it uploads, then it can't be changed. Delivered to individual is #2 option, I think Mailroom may be #5, right below on the keypad. No businesses on my route, so I don't get to use "Mailroom" much.


I also have 2 sets of '06 dies. One with a case stuck fast in it. Learned the hard way to use real case lube on rifle cases, the stuck one is from "one shot" spray case lube. OK for pistol or neck sizing only, not so much for F/L rifle re-sizing.

I also have 2 sets of '06 dies. One with a case stuck fast in it. Learned the hard way to use real case lube on rifle cases, the stuck one is from "one shot" spray case lube. OK for pistol or neck sizing only, not so much for F/L rifle re-sizing.

very valuable Info,  that  !  I have One Shot and planed to use it.....  :P

I'll shop for real case lube (rifle)

Thanks for the coffee this morning.

Not happy at all with Amazon
Not sure if i am not happy with USPS or the point of purchase or both on 2nd item. Ordered on 17th tracking stopped on 20th- with first and only track.


Yep use real lube on rifle casings, i agree

I ordered something from Dillon on the 14th and according to the tracker it's still sitting there waiting to be picked up  ::) ::)
Kid, in cigars I like the CAO MX2, a double maduro, In pipe tobacco I'm looking for something that's mild with a nice scent so as to not offend others around me, Not a fan of flavored cigars, so I most likely wouldn't like a flavored pipe tobacco. Thanks for the advice from all that gave it.

M-2, the One Shot may work for you, if you're just going to neck size. I have total 4 in 30-06, and one's a Garand, so all my loading is made "Garand friendly", sized full length, 150gr bullets and not too slow powder(usually IMR 4064).
Title: Re: It's December you dummies
Post by: Major 2 on December 23, 2018, 01:27:35 PM
Roo... that's funny right there  :)


PE....I load 30/40 Krag and just neck size ...my load is 12.5 Grains Trail Boss & a 195 grain GC cast bullet.


I'll start there with the 30/06 - 12.5 Grains TB but use a Coated 165 Grain cast bullet non GC'ed  ,  being its a Bolt action I don't need to blow back the auto action.

I did order some case lube anyway, though I have no issue with the 30/40 cases & One Shot ..can't hurt I guess.

But I'm open to suggestions or opinions

I use H4895 for .30-06 and .30-40. Like PE, I load my full power .30-06 to be "Garand Friendly" since I like shooting a non bolt-action once in the awhile. I think I use Hornady paste case lube.

Are there any Pipe smokers here? Looking for suggestions on tobacco, Figured a Pipe would be easier than the cigars I've been smoking at the matches.

Back when I used to smoke pipes, I got Three Star from Iwann Ries in Chicago. Best Stuff Ever.
I don't know if they still exist. According to Herr Google, they are still around.
"Iwan Ries and Company is a tobacconist located in Chicago, Illinois, one of the oldest family owned tobacco companies in North America,"

After moving away for chicagoland, I switched to Captain Black.

https://captainblackpipe.com/cbp-home/

always smelled nice, even non-smokers liked it.
oddly the folks who can't stand cigaret smoke did not mind it either.
hope this helps

Hopefully the Trailboss load you mentioned will do well in the M-1917. I use 12 gr and a 190 gr cast GC bullet in my '03, but my '17 doesn't like it. Haven't experimented too much yet, though. This particular bullet seems to have too small diameter in the nose section for the '17,but not for the '03 or 30-40. Actually, I've never had any success yet with any Enfield I own with cast, although I've never really worked much with them.

You probably won't need to anneal your cases, and shouldn't need to do more than neck size the first time just to straighten out out-of-round case necks common in bulk packed brass.

Advice for Holiday travelers.

When stopping at a gas station/convenance store if prepaying for gas look at the pump number before you come in.

The clerk don't care if batteries you forgot to buy are cheaper at Walmart, it's closed.

If I don't have it, I don't have it, can't stock everything.

And don't say anything about it being awful I have to work the holiday, if people like you thought ahead they couldn't afford to pay me holiday pay. ;D

Sunshine here, instead of the forecasters wild guessers cloudy weather. Number One daughter has a stomach bug, so the shredding of the wrapping paper will be delayed a little. Doing a little firewood work in the meantime. Farmall was stubborn this morning, wouldn't start with the crank, but the barely there battery started it-barely. Holding off on the battery purchase as long as possible, this one's about 5 years old, no charging system, i just hook it to a charger periodically.

Farmall "A". First owned by my Dad's uncle, restored by my Dad and his brother in the early 90's. Still runs good, but needs some cosmetic work again. Not the best tractor for a sidehill Ozark farm, Great uncle Ralph rolled it one time, almost killed him. When it came to us, with motor frozen up, it had the wheel on the short axle side turned around to dish it out wider, as well as lots of wheel weights on the long axle side to try and keep that from happening again.

Tried searching online about re-sizing pic, only to find a bunch of other people with the same problem, with no answer other than get Photoshop.

OK... did some deep breathing to calm down. only sorta worked, so I went to the reloading shed. THat worked. Shed's kind of cold, but "Mr Heater" on a propane tank helped a lot.


Anyways, yes, all "A" FArmalls are wide front, BUT, they're narrow and the engine/transmission is offset, they were meant for garden/ truck farm use, it's offset for better visibility of the crops. So if you get the "short axle" downhill, they can tip.

Currently 25 degrees as of 22:55.  Today got up to 45.

Did a little bear hunting today. Didn't see anything, but that's pretty normal. I did see some healthy looking deer, though. They should make it through the winter.

My girlfriend has had a great day traveling. The flight from Spain to England was delayed for weather, and she missed her connection. The airline got her on another flight, since it was their fault the plane left before she had even gotten off the other one but instead of heading to Denver, she had to go to Las Vegas, lay over two hours, then get into Denver. Which means she missed her flight to Billings by 6 hours.  And on top of all that, they lost her luggage.  Fortunately she has a friend in Denver that she's staying with tonight, then get back to it in the morning.   Things like that are why I don't have any desire to travel.

Pickup started yesterday with out a jump, slow but enough.  Cables looked fine, volt meter went way over.  Parked in drive, wife pulled in.  Let it run an hour meter was normal.  Started it several times and it was fine.  Did fine this morning.   Think when I came home Thursday night I listened to the news and didn't get ass switch all the way off.   Switch is worn to the point you can pull the key on or off.

Mine has been acting up recently too. If I remember correctly, we have similar vehicles. Mine just intermittently won't start. I think it's the distributor, just have to figure out which part.

60 and sunny today. Walked the dog, and that's pretty much it.

Coffee is up for the last day of the year.

Temps in 60’s and more liquid sunshine.  More thru Tuesday.

Rode down to the nursery this morning one leg hobbled a kicking nanny. Works on cows and goats- all the babies are fed and happy

According to Alton Brown,In 1525 DeSoto brought 13 pigs to Florida. Today only China has more than the US.  I don’t think Alton Brown’s reserchers counted the pigs in D.C......
