Then got out the original survival rifle. put the target back to 40 yards, been a while since i had flash in the pan in my eyes. knew i would be rusty. Also had to get back to my loading technique so i had faster lock times. by then i was soaked with sweat and when i started dripping sweat in the pan and on the frizzen i quit. but it was good enough. was shooting a 490 round ball with 90 grains of 2ff and 4ffff in the pan.

Nice chootin @Sharks79 and @Belt Fed

This sideways picture thing could it be something from TAL's picture upload thing? I forgot who else had/has that same problem...

I started having the same problem with my photos, but I figured out a way to upload them so they don’t show sideways. Up on the toolbar there is a picture of pictures that if you click it, it will pop open a box that says “Drop Image or click here”. If you click it, it will give you the option of choosing the image you want, and when you upload it that way, it will come out the right way. I don’t know why it started being that way but it’s the way I found to make it work.
 
Winding down for bed now. We spent the day in town for him to get a laptop for work. This contract has him in internet meetings and such so he need to have something better than his phone. Phones are a PITA.
So I didn’t finish the laundry and dinner until after six. Ah well, I only see him one day a week now so it is what it is. Not much different than the military.
I’m down for the count, 3AM is a rude beast. 😎

Like almost everyone use my cell to take most photos. If needed I crop/orient them in the cell before importing the pictures to photos on my Mac. When pictures are in Mac photos drop and drag them into the image box on the forum. There's probably a simpler way but it works for me.

I have been exporting to files and then saving bck to photos my screen shots becaus they are saving as png and too strong for the forum.
 
Didn’t make it to the range yesterday. They had some promotion thing with vendors showing their wares. Thought about going just to see the action at the Sig booth but don’t like crowds so..
Out this morning on a nice 58 degree morn. Got the newly triggered SA Rimfires along with the Ruger and FN502. Brought the LWRCI too 🥰

Hi,

I'm glad to see everyone up and about. I dropped off Mrs. BassCliff's car at the shop first thing. Workout, a little breakfast and coffee, now it's time to mow before it gets too warm. It's a busy week, trying to squeeze in a range trip somewhere. I'm having a couple thousand rounds delivered this week. I don't want them to get stale. :LOL:


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Copper pigtail replacement. From around 1972 to 1985 risers ( the part of the service that comes up out of the ground under the meter set and has a lock cock on it) consisted of a steel casing pipe with a 1/2” copper service line in it. These were built in the meter shop and modified for length and installed on new construction. So the length of the copper line could be anywhere from 3’ to 15’ depending on how they dug the trench. The copper was transitioned to 1/2” plastic with an amp fit or a coupling which then ran out to the main. Hence the term “ copper pigtail”. Some years ago the public service commission decided we could no longer direct bury copper and put a time mandate on each copper service and copper pigtail. So essentially I dig the riser down to where the copper turns laterally and then I dig a hole over the service either where the coupling is or where the service is already plastic. Then cut the riser off and shove a steel cable through the service line and after squeezing down the plastic service and cutting the line, bring the steel cable up out of the hole over the service line. From there I pull the cable out to my trackhoe where I hook it to a block and tackle. The riser end of the cable has a splitter and a Chinese finger. I hook a new plastic line and riser the appropriate length to the finger and then pull the cable through with my tractor, which yanks out the copper and pulls in new plastic. Air test the new service line at 100lbs for 15 minutes, hook it to the old plastic, rebuild the meter set on top of the new riser, pressure test the fuel runs, paint the piping and relight all the gas appliances.

I don’t do them every day. They usually throw a couple main to meters in ( full service replacement) so I may do 2 full services and 3 or 4 copper pigtails in a week.

When I was getting overtime ( 10 hour days) I was knocking out 10 a week.
