The Czickness LIII….CZing into the summer with friends near and far.

Ran across this video on the Sthil mini chainsaw. Not impressed compared to others.

Not that I have much to do around here but I use my Milwaukee Hackzall with a pruning blade for minor tree trimming.

Last night I was debating whether to try and mow or hit the range before the rain comes today but now looks like the rain is coming earlier than they said. May have to be an indoor range day.

Morning all!

Doing some smokeless work with 32-20, I want an accurate mid power load to work in the turn of the century revolvers and the 1873. Trying to do that with the same mold that I use for 32 ACP. I already have a good higher power load using a cast gas checked bullet that makes a good shooter in my younger revolvers and Winchester 1892s along with a rocket rifle jacketed one. When you work with this cartridge you understand why it's still around, it's accurate no matter how you load it and that range is wide.

We are forecasted for heavy rain later...still need to clean my gutters out.

Bought a new 28' ladder because I am too wimpy to get on my roof with a leaf blower anymore...

I don't climb ladders.

 

[rkwhyte2]

Morning folks

 

[mcapo]

I don't climb ladders.

I expect to make that statement in not too many more years.

Hoping my firefighter son takes pity on me and does the ladder work. I kinda expect we will be in a ranch home within five years or so though.

Think acreage and a barndominium.

Leaf guards are a excellent investment to not have to deal with cleaning gutters anymore. One of the best upgrades to my house I've made. Haven't needed to touch my gutters in 15yrs.

Morn'n fellas :bgoOJ:

That would be me but the wife told me she wasn't living in a barn of any kind. She is getting prissy in her old age.

The level of your restraint, self-control and patience is, well, baffling to me.

That being said I have 13 motorcycles saved. Several of which match my criteria but I am struggling to pull the trigger...

Not really. I usually buy lesser $ guns and stack them deep. I've also always been of the mind in the past to only buy guns that would be possibly in my carry rotation, etc, but loosening up with that a bit in the past year with a few purchases (such as SA-35 -- 2 of them though of course ;-) ).

For this one I'm looking at something to be the FNS gun (shot the last one with my Scorpion though and that was fun!) but also be manageable vs the monster sized guns. Pretty well set that if I go hammer fired, it will be SAO, and have some cool factor, but also still in that more "compact" size.

I was dead set on the 229 Legion SAO (relatively compact size, optic ready, SAO etc), but then the S2C kind of crept into my mind since I know now it can be converted to SAO. I just need to get out to handle one.

Didn't want to drive the FJ over the extended weekend due to the fuel tank strap being broken or I would have gotten out to lay hands on one. Got the truck back this morning, but now work.

Got some medical stuff coming up later in the month that will sideline me for a bit, but still working on the plan for this gun.

Hold up, there.

Toyotas break?????????????????????

Ha, nothing that would have stopped me had I really had to get up and go, but I decided not to drive it until I could get it in to be safe. The front fuel tank strap was still intact, but the rear one had broken. It's a 2007 so a few things here and there expected. I'm guessing most people would never have noticed it, but I did.

Indy Arms and HCT had the S2C in stock. Hopefully one of them still has one maybe this coming weekend.

I've never been to Indy Arms. Decent shop to browse around? I've been to HCT alot so it's the more comfortable route, but also cool to check out a new to me shop as well. I generally don't head to the east side though unless there is something worth going for.

The Wizard, Reese's Pieces and I (along with a few more gentlemen) shoot at Indy Arms every Monday and have done so for the past year plus. Nice range...

Those ***holes quoted me $3200 to do my gutters. I told 'em I could hire some kid twice a year for $50 for the next 32 yrs and not have to worry about it.

I have a friend's home nearby that might change her mind.

$3200 is ridiculous, wow. I'd tell them to pound sand too. I paid $900ish for 16 8' pieces of leaf guard/gutter cover, which i thought was ridiculous, and a buddy and I did the install in less than a day. $3200 is just gouging at its finest/worst.

How's the shop itself? Worth browsing?

They have a nice selection of firearms, staff is friendly and helpful I think.
