Actually, I have one *exactly* like that ! Haven't used it in a while, but used to carry it frequently for doing bird photography. <thumbsup>

Love the mountain man hat, Rusty !!!

Nice chair Rusty. I have a similar, though probably cheaper version.

Made it to the range with a buddy of mine and tested out both the Ruger Mark IV Competition with the rail and red dot, as well as the Victory with the Victory trigger installed and tested against the Performance Center Victory. The Victory trigger in the SW22 Victory is a big improvement, but it isn't as nice as the flat faced performance center trigger. Still very nice compared to stock. I need to figure out the Thunder hammer situation, as I believe that adding it would make it closer to the performance center trigger. The Victory trigger in the Mark IV Competition, along with the VQ accurizing kit makes it the winner for trigger though. I need to get off my butt and get the VQ kit installed in the Mark IV 22/45 Tactical.

Hmmm... started drinking at lunch (had a coffee blonde ale, which started off good but then just got annoying) and had a nice Bell's Two Harted when I got home. Now sipping a New Belgium Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA which doesn't taste all that great, but is giving me a bit of a tingle as it's 9% ABV...

Sounds like a Gunbroker kinda night.

It sounds like a headache to me.

I like a good IPA

I like Busch lite unless someone else is buying. Not that i actually drink much.

I never could drink all that craft beer crap.

I try it when its free. I just have no idea what most of it is plus it’s expensive. I think there’s one called dragons milk, it’s no busch lite but its pretty decent lol. That stuff is like $20 for a 4 pack though so I’ve bought it like twice.

This was not that, though it was potent...

Bell's Porter with a friend tonite. Helped empty their SUV's of personal belongings from storage and got paid in beer, ham, and cookies.

4 pack of dragons milk is best shared with at least one friend. As I recall, they are 16 oz bottles and nearly 12% alcohol.
One kicks my ass.

I was wishing for ruby slippers about 2130 last night. That is a haul.

Wow, it sure was. I’m going to run down to NC on Sunday, then back home again on Tuesday. That’s only 11 hours each way and that is about my limit for a single day. It’s almost like you have a lot of experience behind the wheel or something Patience.

For my Bud, Rusty H. ! (or anyone else who wants to look)
'N' gauge trains, and track are very small. Most of these engines, and cars are only about 2" tall.

Northwestern engine, hauling some coal !

Tis' the season ... my Christmas train !

Setup is completed with the inclusion of an ice skating rink. I had to place the little people with tweezers, and super-glue on their feet ! (penny for size reference)

And then, there's my Circus Tribute set .... I have every car.
All Hail Barnum & Bailey !

I know that some of you have probably seen some of these photos before, but I'm getting older, so forgive me for the repetition.

That’s really cool MM. I still have all of the old N-gauge stuff in boxes, some of which dates back to the late 1970s. It’s been a decade or more since I’ve had any of it out and running.

I did a quick range trip down to HHRP this afternoon to run the Mouse AR and a second one. It was empty except for me, so I could just take my time and have fun. I need to work up a load that the MouseGun likes. Too many good parts on that gun to be satisfied with 1.5 to 2.0 MOA groups at 100.

I was testing two different loads today. One with some 68g HPBT and the other with plain old 55g FMJ. The 68g shows promise on that gun and I’ll try to work up a ladder before heading back to the range sometime this week. The hand loaded 55g was running with BL-C(2) and were more accurate than the surplus stuff I’d been burning through.

Wow, 88' .... I know that we've talked about it before, but it slipped my mind.
Someday, please bring something over we can put on a small track .... it would be fun to set something up, and run some of your older models !
