Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DeathHates: I would be a Tom. I would be me. Sucks to be a cat out here. A smart cat takes a bite, looks around for danger before taking its next bite. Small housecats have to be smart to survive in the woods. Bobcats, foxes, coyotes, mtn lions, eagles can all prey on them. |

Anyone remember the cement mixer drama? It’s back at the garage today.
  Almost three years and it’s still not finished. No point in rushing into things.

Pretty happy. Got a 112 year old shotgun working again. 1909 Remington pre-model 10 that I bought as a project. Action wouldn't close far enough for the bolt to lock, which made it unable to be disassembled.
Finally said fuck it, risked destruction(the gun wasn't working anyway, right?) and started prying to get the bolt separated from the action bar. After that everything came apart as Pedersen intended. And I found a steel BB jammed in the extractor groove above the barrel. Funny thing is, in the process I found a youtube video, a guy in Canada has one with a serial number only 1000 or so earlier than mine. Closest I've ever seen to a gun with a number consecutive to one I have. ETA-and if I ever consider a non working model 10 as a project again, kick me in the nuts. It'll be easier. Nothing in a model 10 is intuitive, and a Browning Auto-5 is easier to take apart and assemble. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 4v50: Good save. That model is the first pump shotgun I ever shot(not that exact gun) so I'm a little sentimental about them. Looking for one in truly nice shape but they're just not out there. They were usually farm guns and not as well maintained as Winchester 12's. |

Pay is low, but the hours, bennies are really good and the stress level is way down. We will see what happens. Less stress = longer life. I had that when I was subjected to a RIF. It gave me time to read books from 2004-6 to determine what was wrong with the economy. By 2006, I learned the dollar was doomed. I also retired early (we have a tendency to die young) and to enjoy what life I had left. Going on ten years now and it's been a blast and an adventure. Certainly less money, but a heckuva lot more fun.

Just finished setting up tens shelves of bookcases (2 x 2 and 2 x 3). Made a stand for them and now need to get some trim wood. Anyway, five shelves are just aviation books and five are WW II material (German and American). If I shift things around and bring stuff downstairs, I think I can fill five shelves with just American WW II history material. The German stuff (2 shelves) can go into another bookcase.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DeathHates: Great news, Ken. 4v, have you looked in your underwear drawer? I'm not brave enough. Took apart the bookcase and bought more wood. I want the stand to have a 1/2" lip to help keep the bookcases from shifting. Had to buy 1" x 6" (which is really only 3/4" by 5 1/2" wood) which I cut and stained. Forgot to buy nails and I'll do that tomorrow. May go for the "Mission Style" furniture with the side pieces. |

@DeathHates, nesting season has begun for eagles in IA. Confirmed brooding at 2 nests within 15 miles of my house tonight, and this guy was eating a deer in the ditch, most likely the mate to one of the nesting birds.
 ETA-I was within 15 feet when I first spotted him. My reaction was the same as always. "Shit, they're big!" |

My reaction was the same as always. "Shit, they're big!" we have some eagles near me at a lake. I feel bad for the property owner because there is always peepers with high power lenses taking pictures from across the lake. local police had to restrict traffic on his side of the lake to residents only. |
