The CZickness XXXVIII....To Honor a friend

[patience0830]

Until I get the rifle and base I don't know if I'll need standard or cantilevered rings or even what height I'll need.

I'll try and have an accurate inventory available.

I've been stripping the old liner and paint out of my S10 bed. Got it prepped between church services. Should be able to primer it tomorrow. Then to get it lined again.

That looks a lot like work.

That looks like it was a lot of work.

It was more time consuming than I thought. It'll be worth it though. Old one was flat worn out.

That bed has seen its share of work for sure.

I'll blame H45 for this. After thinking about my needs some more, the M12 (12 volt) lineup from Milwaukee made more sense and reduced the cost of things down to where I was more comfortable with pricing while still getting a high quality product. Didn't really feel like spending the cash right now, so I signed up for a Home Depot card instead, they offer 6 months no interest financing on purchases over $299. A first time card purchase promo took another $50 off my items, free shipping and everything will be here in 2-3 days. Needless to say, I have a fair amount of Milwaukee items in the works. I'm pretty excited. New drills, drivers, lights and even added in a nice little vacuum for cleaning the couches and cars out (our shop vac can be quite obnoxious). Plenty of batteries and chargers were bundled in there too (it's like you're buying the batteries and they give you the tools for free...).

A man cannot have too many quality tools. Projects will come that you will be glad to have them for.
I think you did the right thing.

Ugh, Monica starts new job today and the new schedule has us waking up at 5:30 every morning. I had fairly recently gotten used to getting up at 7:00, so I'm feeling a bit rough.

Morning all...

Morning

Finished watching The Umbrella Academy last night on Netflix. Time to find another series to watch.

 

[T-DOGG]

And Gmail is down this morning, great.

Edit, appears to be Google Drive & Docs as well.

 

[wtburnette]

Weird, Gmail seems up for me...

 

[wtburnette]

Nevermind. Sent myself a test email and nada.

It's back up and running now.

I dunno if anyone shoots .30-30, but SNR in Plainfield had 4(?) boxes remaining when I left there Saturday for $25/box. One of the Federal power shok, 3 of the Win. Super X. Not a great price, but not the most inflated, either. I cleaned out their .357 Sig range ammo while there.. The Indy area has so many gun shops.. It's kinda nice.

Gmail seems down for me, too. Edit: At least it was when I started writing this post.

I don't have Netflix now, but if I recall the Umbrella Academy was a little odd - a friend of mine watched it. If you're into stuff that's a little unusual, check out "Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein" with David Harbour. I think it's a pretty good short movie. "Stranger Things" is only worth watching the first two seasons (yep, I said it). "Kim's Convenience" is a cute little comedy, but isn't everyone's cup of tea. Otherwise, I'm not sure what's still available these days.

 

[wtburnette]

Yep, just got emails starting to come in. Just seems a bit slow now.

Morning folks!

I need to find some 7.7 Arisaka ammo. That and some .303 Enfield ammo. Not a dire need by any stretch but I’d like to have some on hand when the restoration of those two old rifles are completed.

Anyone have a favorite source for either of those?

 

[churchmouse]

Morning peoples..... is brewing.
Had to get a different brand for part of my blend as BLCC is getting really dodgy. Not sure how this will come out.

I think I saw some .303 at Premier Arms or SPR, but I can't guarantee. Could call and ask.

I need to find a creamer that tastes like Bailey's Irish Creme, minus the alcohol.

Eventually you're gonna have to learn to drink it black if you don't wanna sit with the kids at Thanksgiving.

I'd rather lick a leather boot than drink coffee black.

I just hope the kids are nice to me at the kiddie table...
