Mornin all

First off Congrats Pistol on being so unselfish. I Hope your all very happy. It's definitely not something everyone can do. Have to watch those vans, there has been a lot of upsets because when they're loaded they're top heavy.

Got to go get cleaned up for church so will have to continue this later. Slept in cause I was up at 0400 for an hour. Don't know what that was....

Later...

If he only had Sundays off, that would be OK but he seems to think he should be off on all the days that end in "Y"! Bad janitor, no donut.

Afternoon... arm hurts. Just did ol's plugs, that is a PITA!!! Pics later.

Gonna go eat some chow with one of my good friends that is leaving the area, he is a Marine. Bad thing about the Corps, you can only be friends with someone for 3 years at a time...

My local range is only 100 yrds. but I can break three inch clays all day off hand with M855.

I didn't build that rifle as a 500 yrd rifle. I have a 7mm Rem Mag Savage for that.

A little family picnic while I was working on the hemi...

I was having a hard time trying to keep my hand clean with the brace on, so I just put the glove under the brace.

The CRAP I was working on...




These plugs are a pain in the back. I did the whole passenger side in the same time that it took to do one plug on the driver side.

What ever gave you the idea that using tonka trucks as skates and being pulled by a dune buggy was a good idea???

for the .5xx, I got a muzzle loader. The only other calibers that I would like in a rifle is a .22-250 or a .300 Win Mag

The Tonka skates video was PRICELESS .... I'd expect nothing less from one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children .

Somebody want to come do my weekly timesheet for me ??? I ain't too good at writing fiction .

teaching them to be boys is one thing, teaching them to do dumb things is another....
Oh well, thats not worse than the guy I passed yesterday on a 4 wheeler pulling his kid on a toy 4 wheeler down the road.

Pistol, just do like I do on my time sheet, charge about 20 hours to each of your projects and 10 hours to shop support.

Ouch... Well, I know what you think of me now, FO.

As long as it's supervised, I'm not worried about it. Either me or my wife is outside with them when they are on the go cart or bikes. No, I would never let my kids do that now, but ya gotta live a little. Guess that's why I'm not scared of getting blown up, either, huh?
