The Gun Room

I was real apprehensive about loading 300BO. Read about a lot of people having problems.
I must have got real lucky as I'm not what I would call a professional by any means.
I use a standard RCBS .556 shell holder, a new set of small base AR series RCBS dies, and a Lee Factory Crimp die. Even make my own brass, which is another whole subject where people have issues.
Not one problem for me. Had super accuracy and 100% reliability. Been lucky.

Or all, it was 110 here today, same tomorrow.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 12:42 am

Ok.....
I KNOW I don't want OS's 110 degrees.

I have a couple Buck 110s

I don't need that rifle, as it isn't an old Winchester.

I do have a bunch of work to do at the lot. The Tractor it is! Make sure there is a bucket. Maybe a log winch. A disk harrow would be nice for food plots. I'd really like a backhoe too, if it has that capability.
Send it up by the first of September. That'd be great.
Thanks guys!

I don't have enough stamps to mail a tractor!?

Personally I'd take the Savage bolt gun, the tractor is old , the Rover is older but useful and I too have a Buck 110.

Jack your son has the right idea. When distances are determined by hours instead of miles it makes sense for him to stay instead of driving back and forth. When I lived in Trinidad if we wanted to go see a movie it was an hour & 20 minute ride one way, heck Denver was 4 hours away. I'd rather drive there, stay as long as needed and drive home instead of having to leave the house early and get home late to do that over and over.

Ah well where's my coffee!?

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 1:15 pm

Well....that's two against one.....I've always looked at money as being the determining factor in a decision....plenty of "time" but only so much money......wow....that really opened my eyes.........maybe I'd do it in a cheaper way.....keep the Jeep and just tent it with a wash bowl, a towel, Coleman lantern, maybe some deodorant, ........whoa! wait a minute......because he is bringing in the loot wouldn't it make sense to buy a ten cent no frills Honda car, live with no luxuries, and bank the loot.....you know, keep the overhead LOW and retire early.....that's pretty much what I did.

Well, this is America where our destiny is controlled by each individual's decisions......let him make his own path....that's what my mom used to tell me...she said...."you make your own path and by doing that you will create your own luck".

Well...back to Mr. Jay......the WINNER!......don't know about those English defenders.....I've heard there is nothing like them as to durability but looking over that spare tire would drive me nuts.

then I have to buy a 55 gallon drum of talcum powder.

Jay can make his own decision on what he wants...he just has to tell Gunny what color he wants and his bank transfer numbers so Gunny can get the loot up there .....Gunny is closer than me to Jay so that makes sense.....takes a while to wire money....

No gun club and it looks like I'm too lazy to get a load of stone...there's always tomorrow! ----006

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 4:28 pm

Well it ain't gonna be me! Just dropped another $350 for the brake job just in parts! Seems in 2007 Dodge decided to use an oddball flare fitting on the rear lines and no one has those fittings! He had to rescue the orignal and make the new line with it.
Now I think 58,000 miles is a bit too much- no pads left on them! Was steel on steel !! Between always having the radio rockin and no muffler I never heard the squeakin &squealing .

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Tue Aug 18, 2020 9:01 pm

Oh well....what you spent on brakes is about what it's going to cost me for the botched up plumbing job I did today. Moms been climbing up my you know what..."that shower head keeps dropping". Blah...blah,..blah.......so the handy guy I am ....today I looked at it..no biggie.......needs a new cartridge......go to Home Depot...nada.....drive to Delaware Lowes..they got it...$46......come home and found out I needed a puller to get the old cartridge out...screw that....I made one out of 1 and 1/4" PVC and a mess of washers....got the old one out and that was a job......25 years of high mineral water had that sealed in before we had the purifier put in......anyway, get it out and the new one don't want to go in.........steel wool, you know....clean down to the copper......get the new one in and the last 1/2" was tight so I got a block of Osage orange and tapped it in........well, a hard tap.

Leaks.....I know I damaged it somehow so I'm calling the plumber up to have the whole unit replaced.

Post by **Old Savage** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 3:55 am

Well there 006. That bush is on 9 or 18 depending on your count and it can serve the purpose in a pinch. Gotta watch no soft stuff can see.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 4:43 am

Yeah Jack those cartridges can be a real PITA to change! I've changed one in the kitchen and in the bathroom. Kitchen one was pretty easy but the other one still doesn't shut off right. But for the cost I'll make sure it shuts off. Always put some silicone grease on the O rings.

Wow that was some thunderstorm about 4am!

The grounds keeper will have that tree cleaned up by the next T time.

Jay, I'll fill the tank on your tractor, point it in your direction and send it on its way just as soon as Six delivers it here.

Am I missing something in your picture Gunny? I see some white stuff there and it looks like the ashes out of a hash pipe.........

Went down with the mighty Rubicon and got a load of stone ......that stuff is heavy! No putting the transmission in second gear to start off like I usually do.......unloaded it at the pond.....and went back to get another load........the guy running the loader asks me how I got the stone off so fast as I was back in 45 minutes.......I pointed to my arms and exclaimed, "W.P."

oh man! That started it...his boy came over, a lad of about 30 and we got into one heck of a conversation.........

This buddy of mine who owns a mulch, topsoil, stone,sand, business made this video 4 years ago. He used the actual voice mail to make this video......some libs going down the road did not like his giaganic Trump sign and made the phone call.......so he made a jail and put Hillary in it.......

We were laughing like crazy today talking about the current state of affairs..........these libs don't know who they are messing with.-------006

I said it snowed here today! What don't ya get ? That is pvc saw dust. All exposed wood on this front porch is getting covered in pvc boards. Its miserable, when its dry the static makes it cling to everything. When wet it sticks to everything. God forbid you get this in your eyes!

That video should be run on Fox News! Hopefully in his second term he can get her tossed in a cell !

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 6:13 pm

PVC boards......are they like 1" x 6" tongue and groove? I saw small pieces at the gunclub that someone was using to prop up their sandbags. I liked it so much the guy gave me a short piece to take home....has wood grain in it and is gray in color.....I bet that stuff is EXPENSIVE.

Here, I gather, organize, and freely donate all of my glass, plastics, and metal cans in the name of recycling. Then they take the free stuff, melt it down...and make money. Good ole capitalism at work! To be honest I really don't give a S about recycling....they are taking my trash and I don't pay $30 a month or $360 a year for trash removal.....can buy a lot of primers with dat.

Every couple of days I have a nice fire down in the burn pit......yea, in it is some stuff I don't feel like taking out, like deer park plastic bottles.....burn it all up and smile as I watch the smoke go in the sky.....once a week or so I'll throw a quart of drain oil in it to make it burn better.......it's really neat when I throw on some styrofoam or some old rubber of some sort.......then jump on the Kubota and watch those diesel fumes spiral up.......puts a nice warm feeling in ya knowing I'm helping the U.S to catch up with china in destroying the earth.

Well...gotta go....have a gallon of old gasoline to get rid of....its great for killing weeds.-------006

Definitely a different feel in the air this week. Much cooler. We been shutting the overhead doors at work the last couple nights.
I ordered some climbing sticks for a hang on stand today. Going to run up to the lot Friday and do some work.
Have a wheeling trip with the Jeep club Saturday. Supposed to run some skidder roads in off the Lower Enchanted road up to The Forks. We'll see......

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Thu Aug 20, 2020 4:08 am

Six what you have sounds like decking, usually has color in it. This stuff is white throughout, it's PVC just like PVC pipe. It's smooth although the early boards were wood grain on 1 face.

Yes much cooler here too, only about 73 for the high yesterday- it's about 60 this morning! Very dry too.

Your burning a couple plastic bottles don't hold a candle to that plastic plant in Texas that is/was on fire!

Well....might as well join the crowd by checking in...........

Yea...nutting happening.....I am surprised at the humidity....44% ! Whoa! 82 degrees.....

Went to bed at around 2 and got up at 1.......I always let myself sleep when I want to.....yesterday I shoveled 5,000 pounds of modified on the bridge.....non stop each load....afterwards my shirt was so wet I could have wrung it out...it's good for ya about once or twice a week to beat yourself up.....

Well? Anyone there? Well screw ya, I'm going back to bed.

GRRR... drivin', y'all got nuttin' to complain about. There's a reason I avoid PA. Musta been a touch soft when I accepted this load to Pittsburgh. Took an hour & a half to drive 18 miles. Signs all over the place, "Not a truck route", "truck route" but going the wrong way. Weight restrictions, height restrictions, what ain't up is down... give me the wide open west. This east stuff is stuff! Construction... good thing most of 'em are nice guys, as one had to move his barrels so I could make the turn... Nearly 3 hours late to pick up. Still have 627 miles to deliver in GA tomorrow am!

Y'all should be having GOOD weather today. I brought the sunshine east with me... Nice enough that I had "the Rose" washed and waxed yesterday!

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Thu Aug 20, 2020 4:34 pm

Good you checked in Griff!! Yes this part of the country isn't all that truck friendly anymore! You guys that drive for a living get my respect! I always do my best to let you guys use a hill, i wave as I pass . Sadly its the morons in the cars that cause the problems but blame the truckers. Sounds like the donkey party don't it !?

Yes Sixer the weather has been down right pleasant! Was 53 ° along the river valley this morning. I actually put on a sweatshirt for a couple hours.

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Thu Aug 20, 2020 5:25 pm

My hat is off to you Griff! Over the years drivers I knew well would let me get in their tractor for a short spin around the parking lot.......talk about intimidation! Waaaaaaayyyy too much to think about and ya can't see all those hidden spots.......

I don't like driving a four wheeler in traffic or especially any city.....I get aggravated instantly....signs here...signs there...anywhere you look, signs....bridges too low, cars sneaking up in your blind spot...more signs.....and the cops are looking........

I'm used to having the road to myself pretty much........today I drove 5 miles down back roads to the infamous Brandywine Creek....right through where battles took place...past the Lafayette cemetery where soldiers from both sides were buried.....down to the hardware store where I purchased ANOTHER $50 cartridge for the bathroom.......turning the water off and on to take a shower is a major PITA.......got out the new/old cartridge and am here taking a mental break.

Soon I'll see how I spent $25,000 on a $300 job.....I need a drink...

Remember the three stooges when they accomplished something ??? They would clap hands and do a little dance singing, "success, success, success."...

Well, as usual, I have a success story annnnnnnnndddddd claims to the "winning accomplishments of which I know of no other. (Yea...you other cheese eating hood rats who lurk but don't have no friends...gloat)

Well, the Guardian Angel once again stood watch.......

Had a problem with the leaky faucet in the bathroom shower....tried to replace it..blah blah....assumed defeat and was going to call a plumber...blah...blah.....did that yesterday...called SEVEN plumbers in the surrounding 15 miles....the people I usually deal with don't do little jobs.....only wells, water heaters, water softeners..blah..blah....they recommended two other whom I called......only got a voice mail...one called back and said he was on a big job and could not do it but he recommended 2 people whom I called and once again only voice mail.

The messages I left were like this, "hello, my name is..blah calling from blah...left a brief message and finishing up with the message, "I pay in cash, not checks..cash".....no one called back........picked out 2 others from internet...voice mail..no one callled back.

Now I know big name businesses like Horizon will come right over and GUARANTEED they will hit you up with a $600 bill......I was willing to pay say....3

Went to bed last night with this on my mind and woke up with the answer........went to my favorite hardware store today and bought another cartridge.....DID NOT open the package......got my tools and went to work.....made a tool to fit in the drill that would sand the inside of the pipe a couple of thousandths down......then the big discovery...a hidden piece of plastic down in a crack that kept the new cartridge from going in......it was BONDED to the copper from past minerals......no way of getting it out...so I did what any retart would do.....I have this miniature torch and I melted it out but not hot enough to melt the tin fittings......I'm back in business everything is fine and I'm taking the second new cartridge back for my $50. (Did not open the package), I'm not like most people who buy a suit on Friday, wear it on sat and take it back on Monday like the bros do.

There's a reason why no plumber called back....my Guardian Angel took care of dat.

Hope you enjoyed the story and thank you for hanging around a winner. You don't want to wind up like ....."you know who" and his loser sidekick and their loser allies.

Your teasing me and I don't like it!!!

we keep them around here but as you know, I can't touch them.....one day last week I was outside doing work and must have sweat a half gallon of water out of me....came in the house and mom was eating a hot dog....I said "f.i., I'm eating a piece so I ate a half of a hot dog.

Hot dogs are a great, simple to cook food. I prefer them grilled. My Mother always boiled them. She would not eat a grilled hot dog. She preferred to go hungry. I never did find out why.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:43 am

Hot dogs.
When I was a kid, I didn't care what they were or where they came from. We would buy the packages of 40 hot dogs for a fishing trip. Cheapest nastiest things in the world. Then buy the cheapest buns we could find. Oh! And a cheap no-brand jar of mustard.
In this manner we had lots of money left for beer. If you drank a bunch of beer first, the "hot dogs" tasted great!

Nowadays, I only like the best quality, all beef ones. I don't eat them often, but once in a while I get a taste and will eat 4 or 5. Don't care how they are cooked. Grilled, steamed, boiled. I like em.
Oh! And I still like beer with em.

GunnyMack · Post by **GunnyMack** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 4:39 am

If ya like spivey food look for Berk's Fiesta dogs! These are 1/4 pound hot dogs with cheese and jalapeño and absolutely the best hotdog in my opinion! Put them on the grill just long enough to get them to sweat a little cheese. Paired up with baked beans and ya can't go wrong!

Six the trades are SWAMPED! Each and every plumber, electrician, roofer, carpenter in this area has more work than they can finish. Yes thank you Mr President! I know the lumber yards are bare of pressure treated lumber. Between treatment plants shut down and everybody being home doing projects the supply on treated is gone. The local yards are taking orders but wait times are weeks before you get material. When I worked at the yard we would get 2-4 truckloads of treated a week!

Oh man, I accidentally ate one of those tiny little hot peppers in my General Tso's Kitten last night- talk about heartburn!

Well back to the Washington house today, do a little fishing before work!

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Fri Aug 21, 2020 2:15 pm

Necessity is the mother of invention....or in my case, the mother of learning.......I'm self taught in everything I can do and now I'm an expert at cartridge removal and replacement.......when you know nothing about a certain endeavor, you need to have the T's to "get into it" and yes, you will make mistakes, sometimes stupid mistakes but once you know how to do something, that's another "check off" on an individual, company, business that you can say, GFY.

Most basic household needs such as carpentry, electrical, plumbing, flooring, painting, window replacement, about everything in the "minor dept." can be fixed by the average guy with a bit of diligence and knowledge of tools. People have too much money today and just make phone calls. I never had that luxury....that and I love being able to say, "GFYMF".

Well, in the meantime on the discussion of hot dogs.....just a word of caution to my comrades........

DONT LET YOUR HOTDOG STAND!!!. 006
