Well, I suppose entertainment is in the eye of the beholder... Never found most "reality shows" to be entertaining, but I do enjoy Forged in Fire. Just saw an axe throwing contest, that was kind of cool. Also enjoy Drone Racing League and any kind of robot fighting. Also looking forward to the new show featuring full contact knight fighting.

The wife and i came home from Christmas with the kids in St Paul Minn. When we left there was maybe 1.5" of snow on the ground. We turned into our driveway at last light. There was a minimum of 12" of fresh clean snow on the ground. If i wouldn't have had 4 wheel drive on our car we never would have made it to the house. As it was i had to back up twice to keep going.
Question Why do they call it 4 wheel drive when only 2 wheels have power???

it's 3 wheel drive if you use the steering wheel appropriately.
4 wheel if you have limit slip or lockers.
the 3 wheel part comes in when you turn the steering wheel and the front end switches power from one tire to the other.
that's why you get that skippy steering feedback on dry or semi-dry pavement when in 4 wd. in a solid axle unit, the axles aren't free-wheeling like normal and are still trying to go the same speed but over a different distance.
cost me a couple of drivelines figuring that one out.

I enjoyed working on the effects, props and editorial/post production parts a lot more than watching the shows or films. There are a few movies I worked on that I still haven't seen.
Mostly I had favorable experiences with the actors. It was studio brass that tried to jerk me around.

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
Doesn't matter if it's TV, movies, books, booze, or casting bullets in a zen like trance, it's ALL an escape from the crap we don't want to have to deal with that we simply have to every hour or every day. I can tell you this much, I'd lots rather have my girls watching the Hallmark channel and sappy romances than reality TV where one witch stabs another in the back while being as slutty as possible to try and get a "man".

Well, hopefully today after my wife changes my dressing on my hand this morning I'm going to try to get a nitrile glove over it and attempt to repair my Arisaka firing pin! Look a bit easier then a standard Mauser pin. I can probably get away with a short piece of # 48 drill rod on this one with soft solder since the business end is pretty short.
On the 95-98 mausers I usually have to use a heavier drill rod and then hand taper the tip

Arisaka firing pins are similar to Mausers, but the design was executed by a madman while drinking too much sake. Many of them fail back where the safety knob locks into the firing pin. That particular failure will add color to your vocabulary. If yours simply has a broken tip it will be easier to fix than that bolt body failure I mentioned.

The last three days in Glencoe, MN...
Wednesday night, it snowed about 4", then turned to rain.
Thursday morning, I shoveled 2" of wet/slushy heavy snow, then I did the prep for a colonoscopy, it rained another 1/2" throughout the day.
Friday, It was 15º when I awoke at 6am. My pickup truck was iced up good, Door seals was frozen tight, It took me about an hour to thaw out the doors and warm up the truck, so I could drive my one wheel drive pickup on icy roads to the Hospital for the procedure by 8am.
Minnesota gets some crazy weather.

BTW, what is this "TV" of which people speak? Our local cable company gave me a "come on" price for service a few years back, then doubled my cost when the deal expired and they refused to renew it. A few months later they doubled it again, and I fired them. All I have now is internet, and the new company is about to find out that I mean what I say once again.

Not to Mention the big first meal!
A have had about 4 so far....The second they found a small surprise but it wasn't anything bad! My last was this October. My doctor now said I do not need one until 10 years! Then he said that should be your last one! Well how do I take that!
