    Getting old

    I worked in a steel shop and did fabrication for 20 years until I ruptured a disk. Back surgery got rid of the sciatica, but ended up with nerve damage. Good thing is I'm on the right side of the grass.

    What are you doing right now??

    My hip feels pretty good this morning. Tequila, heating pad, Tylenol or CBD cream yesterday or a combination. The hard part will be not aggravating it until it's resolved. I'm guessing it's a bone bruise from a fall. For you music folks out there, go play New Riders "I don't need no doctor."

    What are you doing right now??

    It sprinkled and snowed and made it through 4 stages. My hip was giving me issues. Momma wants to know if I should have it x-rayed. Not really. Had lunch and made virtual bets watching horse racing. Home now and made a tequila drink and watching UFC. Heating pad on medium, oh so nice.

    What are you doing right now??

    It's 40 and raining mixed with snow right now. Rain is supposed to stop around 8:30 and the match starts at 9. Winds to be 20 mph through the afternoon. I love to shoot, but don't like wet guns.

    Thought Y’All Might Enjoy Some Science Fiction

    My wife used a gun once to chase off a car load of dudes who got of the car and approached her at night in her work parking lot. No shots fired, but I figure it saved her from kidnapping, rape and/or murder. The author may have thought she should have her gun unloaded and locked in the safe, but...

    What are you doing right now??

    Just got back from a haircut, last one was Dec. 30th. My hair is pretty thick whether an old guy or not.

    What are you doing right now??

    We like it cooler at night for sleeping. It was 64 inside this morning and since the high will be about 55, I turned the heat on.

    Got My First Shotgun

    If I wanted to buy a modern shotgun, it would likely be a Mossberg in the 500 family. We have multiple shotguns suitable for cowboy action shooting; 1897's, 1887's, hammerless doubles and hammered doubles. My latest purchase was a 1963 Model 12 we use in Wild Bunch matches. 28" barrel makes it...

    What are you doing right now??

    I take Vitamin C, D3, calcium citrate & magnesium with zinc and an adult vitamin daily to prevent sickness. If I get a cold, it will take forever to go away, particularly lung congestion. Coincidence or not, it seems to work for me. Being retired, I am not surrounded by sick folks trying to...

    What are you doing right now??

    Prayers up for you Bassbob. Soon to go set up steel for Saturday. I took some Tylenol in advance.

    Feeling nostalgic

    When I was a kid, there was no inside seating in McDonalds. We sat in the car and ate our meal in our '53 Chevy.

    Feeling nostalgic

    I used to get .22 long rifle ammo at the gas station for $.49/50. I asked online for price of similar and yikes!

    What are you doing right now??

    Replaced a broken primer advance arm. It gave me a chance to try to center the shellplate a bit better. Much better. Watching horse racing now, perhaps a nap.

    "The Curse of Glock" or "Why I Have Moved on, but Cannot Fully Sever that Relationship"

    Instead of buying a Glock and then changing a bunch of things, why not buy a Shadow Systems gun which some writers call the best premium clone? I have no interest in Glocks and understand some of you do, but the SS guns give you various upgrades depending on price right from the factory. Just a...

    "The Curse of Glock" or "Why I Have Moved on, but Cannot Fully Sever that Relationship"

    I don't care for Glocks, but everyone has different tastes. I have a handful of strikers, but have gone old school, picking up several HP clones, CZ 75s and 1911s.

    What are you doing right now??

    Started Longmire again last night. Spent the morning fixing the 650 and readjusting the dies. It's very close, but I don't have the primer adjustment tool. My back is talking to me after so much bending and quit for lunch.

    Ammunition Market Crash 2025 - Why Ammo Prices Will Drop Drastically This Year

    It's still good. I have some discontinued WSL probably older than that and it works fine. I have to look at older reloading manuals and the current burn charts no longer list it.
