Mixed and poured bedding on the 782 barrel channel & post lug.
More prayers said. This one isnt so straight. That post lug dovetails into bbl. I have staked it at 4 corners, so bunch of places ta "grab". I have stoned the sharp spots and filled everything with clay before release spray.

While roughing & gouging up channel grabbed traction and put a nasty gouge in my finish. GRRR. Hope I can dress it up to fix the ugly... Durn dremel tools...

I ordered a Douglas XX premium 30 cal. 10 twist barrel today. I was going to order a Shilen but they said it would be 6 to 8 weeks, Douglas said 3 to 5 . I am very impatient so even though the Douglas is more expensive thats what I went with. Lord am I going to have a bunch of money in this gun, but what's money good for if you don't spend it. It makes lousy toilet paper.

I didn`t get much done today.
I pulled the battery out of my Wifes car.
It's been setting far too long.
I am riding up to 7 Feathers Casino this afternoon with my niece and nephew.
We are going to spend a couple of nights.
We are attending the Oregon Hunters Assoc state convention Saturday.

California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Yesterday and overnight were brutal, man , brutal.

Started off by stepping sideways with my left leg from one elevation to a lower one. Felt a very sharp pain in my left hip/groin area and went down on my side. Collected myself and hobbled in the house, decided nothing was broken, just pulled groin muscles.

Back story: Many years ago my nephew woke up in the middle of the night having to pee, and as he was peeing he fainted. His wife was a nurse and later told me the story and the cause of his fainting. Since then, when I get up in the middle of the night to pee, I do so sitting down.

About 0145 this morning I had to pee. While sitting and peeing I started feeling a little light headed and attributed it to the acute pain in my groin area. Next thing I knew my face was hitting the tiled floor and I was out of sorts. My wife came in, saw my lying on a bloody floor with my face a mess, and called 9-1-1.

Not easy to argue with two EMTs and three fireman, so it was an ambulance ride to the ER.

Doc scheduled a head, neck, and facial CT scan, and a left pelvic area X-ray. Scans were normal and the X-ray didn't show any breaks or fractures (just strained/pulled hip flexor and groin area muscles). Good news, that, but I've a broken and scraped nose, the right eye is black, and the tops of my shoulders and back of the neck are quite painful from their third whiplash.

Got a recovery follow-up with the family doc scheduled Tuesday, and will find out how bad the nose is and whether an ENT is necessary to fix it.

My expert advise, men, is if you wake up in the middle of the night from a sound sleep and have to pee,
SIT DOWN. The fall is shorter . . .

cough,,, cough..


why i got up at 3am to watch a game that just makes me all tense i'll never know.
i have a DVR and it was recording the whole time i was watching it, then again i didn't set an alarm or anything i just woke up after about 3.5hrs. of sleep and stayed up.

i did get to see it snow which would have been nice if i hadn't already seen it 400 times this year.

:rofl: You wish.
Cast about 30 145gr PB. I had been cutting the sprue with good old hickory stick. Those had non-square bases. Used a box-end wrench this time. Didn't find any 'bad' bases on them. Lined them up on a flat plate against a wall and look for nose not in alignment. I'll size and load them in a couple weeks. Good friend had surgery to keep his eyelid hair from getting into eye. Next day freaked wife out as was bleeding heavy from the eyes. Fix surgery after they stopped the bleeding. Scared the crap out of his wife.

Greeeeeaaaaat, another one of those little secrets about getting older. The toilet seats only get lifted at my house for cleaning underneath, wifey and I settled the lid debate right quick and in a hurry: When I sit it doesn't splash and make a mess on the rim, so less frequent cleanings, she never falls in in the middle of the night because I left the seat up she didn't check. Win/win. I was going to put urninals in both bathrooms when I built the house because I hate the splash/sprinkle factor, but just sitting down is a better compromise.

My wife and I had our monthly chiropractic adjustments today. We have been doing it for 18 months now, and it is helping with several things back, neck, knees, and feet. I never thought I'd do it, but it has helped noticeably.

Letting the boy use the Jeep this weekend, for his Girl friends prom. And to get to her graduation party. She lives a good ways away. So did the full inspection-top off thing this morning, before bed and got my stuff out of it.
Any how I am finally driving the truck to work again. At least for the next two days.
It's definitely going to need at little TLC. The boy just don't notice those little noises. Or vibrations. Feels good to be behind the wheel of the old girl again.

I decided I’m pretty much a sitter from now on, very hard to stand on one leg and pee.

Not sure that 6’2” is an average height and size 12 shoes are still a little insane but I feel good about everything right now. Only time I notice being shorter is when I have to reach up to loosen the drawbar on my vertical mill for tool changes. Not a big deal.

5'9" on my best day. Always kept a 6" step by the Bridgeport. Didn't have to have it, but why risk tweaking back or shoulder. Also helped when fiddling with the shaper attachment on the back end of the ram.

I thought you were trying for 6' even. That's how tall I am and I wear size 11 shoes.

that used to be super common at the start of the 1900's.
they didn't have a cure and the outcome was blindness.
it usually affected women 95% of the time though.

why do i know dumb crap like that.
