Roy, coincidence that you should be talking of leaving a couple of guns on consignment as yesterday I received a cheque in the post for my Browning 12 gauge semi auto which I've sold the same way. It wasn't getting used, I find the little Rizzini 28 gauge over and under is more fun and with a box of hot shells on the shelf for "special occasions", it should be up to the task if another bad dog comes this way.

37 going to 45...still windy, and now cloudy.

Rick, that's a great thing you guys do for the young hunters. As an adult, that is more rewarding than actually doing the hunting yourself.

Kyle, your pic warmed me up for a moment. I'm a little late this morning cleaning out the ash box on my woodstove and then throwing a couple of logs on the coals.

David, congrats on your new truck. Sorry you had problems with the Toyota and their dealer. I bought a truck over the phone kind of like you...I had moved from Virginia Beach, but liked the dealer there, saw a truck on their lot while visiting relatives on a Sunday (dealers closed on Sundays back then). Called on Monday, got a better deal than local, and they brought me the truck and papers to sign. Salesman's girlfriend followed him here, and then they went on to DC that night for his day off (I probably paid for that with the commission). That was before the internet - 1989.

Randy, I guess you're hoping for lots of snow this winter so you can use that new Massey .

Roy, sweet pistol.

Didn't get anything like as much done as I hoped yesterday either, but that often seems to be the way it goes. Only progress on the tank cover was these support brackets, drying on the range after washing off cutting oil.



I need to come up with a better way of drilling holes bigger than 1/2 inch. It would be nice to keep my existing pillar drill for wood working and maybe one day get a vertical milling machine that could take over as a drill, but a shorter term plan may be to get a much lower cost annular cutter magnetic base drill and then make a drill stand for it. That way I would still have something portable for things that don't fit easily into the workshop. Anyone have any thoughts on mag drills ?

They're all late middle school to early high school age. None have ever harvested a deer and a few have never hunted before. The TPWD reps gave hunting safety presentations and rules of "the hunt" were discussed. This is a "doe" only hunt as we're trying to get our local deer population back to a better balance. Today ... we'll be smoking several briskets for the dinner this evening. .

Sounds like good event and great time. :thumbsup:

6 degrees right now...high in the mid-30's

Picked up a bottle of Glenfiddich Scotch Whiskey yesterday. I had bought four sippin' glasses from Lucky Shot
And watched a couple 1950's science fiction flicks (THEM, It Came From Outer Space) while sipping the Scotch.
Glenfiddich is good, but I like a smokier taste.
Since I have 2 or 3 more 50's SF flicks, today might be a repeat of yesterday...probably stick with beer today

I've only sold one gun (an SKS rifle) in a private sale. I normally don't sell a gun at all. Although I rarely shoot it, I still have the Glock 17L I bought in 1987.
I do prefer consignments sales...

Last gun I traded for was a marlin lever action 45/70 two years ago before that a 7mm mag ruger back in 1989

Pleasant surprise yesterday.
I purchased a 10,000 watt generator as I had blown my older 6.5 due to my stupidity.

Delivery was via a pickup and he had a sheet of 3/4 plywood to slide it out.
That worked just fine.

He asked where I'd like it and I jokingly said 'in the wood shed' and he promptly pushed it down the slope (on the snow) tore off the cardboard packing, opened the shed door and placed it exactly where I'd want it.

WOW, service!
When I tipped him a $20 he asked was I sure.
I sure was!

I later went back to the store and commended him to his boss.
