Steam baths are good, depending on location….Good morning, all! I think we will be in the steam bath today weather wise.
150 hrs of tractor time. +loading and unloading, travel time, and repairs. That's a busy month.My nephew plants just over 6000 acres.
I shoot for 9 and I'm satisfied if I get 7 restful hours. I need a better mattress in the truck.Morning folks! ️
7.5 hours of sleep is what I get every night. I only sleep in on Sundays, but even then, I'm up at about 6:30
What a wonderful acquisition ... with a brilliant write up with lots of photos AND a range report.My new wheel gun is home too! No box, but came with a holster! Holster seems well made and its my size! A Sportsman, I googled briefly and found no info. I know this is a little modern for him (1968 manufacture date) but if @Leadeye knows anything would love to learn.

Just back from the range and it’s a shooter!

Great revolver! Your holster and belt I can't help much with, although I find two holsters like it on Ebay with no marking other than Sportsman. The rig is what's known as a drop rig as opposed to a belt rig. It places the holster lower down than the belt.My new wheel gun is home too! No box, but came with a holster!

Thanks LE, I will look for the powder horn!Great revolver! Your holster and belt I can't help much with, although I find two holsters like it on Ebay with no marking other than Sportsman. The rig is what's known as a drop rig as opposed to a belt rig. It places the holster lower down than the belt.
The holster looks like a Hunter, which used the name Sportsman as one of their models, but you should find their distinctive trademark of a powder horn somewhere on it.
The rig looks to be in good condition and you will get a lot of years service out of it, best of luck with it and your new Colt.
He has more than one tractor and a few farmhands.150 hrs of tractor time. +loading and unloading, travel time, and repairs. That's a busy month.
I was up late last night too with some libations, hanging out in the room with a buddy while he watched hockey. This older than me crusty SF tabbed 1SG came down to the room to visit and then chastised every beer I pulled out of my cooler like 'you're drinking Red Stripe on purpose' lol, then my Modelo, I was afraid to pull the Blue Moon Light out lol, but he had a big glass of scotch so he was probably a hater anyway.hey, I'm up late because it's WEEKEND .... that's what people do right ? Stay up late ?
My wife still goes to bed at 9 PM on Friday, because she's been up since 5 AM, and worked all week .... that's understandable.
But I like to be WILD .... so I think I'll stay up until 1 AM.
Nice. Has all sorts of goodies with it.Here are some more pictures of the latest purchase. Some people have the time to be more in-depth at the moment. Between mowing 6 ac, installing a new window in a house and grand kids baseball games in one day that's all the time I had. Best way to be is not being a smart ***.

Dumb question, what's the little toy gun for?
That happens to be a little tool kit with Torq bits and screws for mounting an optic. The bits go in the barrel end and you use the pistol as the driver. Optic will be here next week. Holosun Comp.Nice. Has all sorts of goodies with it.
