Well, As Long as I'm Here

So You Think Obama is Going to Help the Middle Class?

I'm sure that the Kulaks thought that Lenin was on their side too.

What Bubba Knows


By Way of:

That There Feral Irishman

Didn't Catch His Name

If it Was Wrong Then Why is it Right Now?

If sailing to Africa to buy slaves from Africans was wrong in the 1600s and 1700s; if it was wrong in the 1600s and 1700s for the English to kidnap and ship Scottish and Irish men, women and children to the Americas to be sold (yes, many were sold, not contracted as indentured servants), owned and worked as slaves; if it was wrong to say you owned another man in 1861; then why is it right to say that the government owns us?  Go watch the video here:

Walnut and Steel for Me

Here's something to make the Walnut and Steel set (of which I am a member) take notice:

Not just a steel AR, A COLOR CASE HARDENED STEEL AR!

Doug Turnbull   is building them.   I think I like it.  Kind of a shock at first but it doesn't take long to grow on you.

I'm going to have him make mine just a tad more retro.  A perch belly swell on the underside of the stock and a little bit of a Schnabel on the fore end should do it.  Would a saddle ring be too much?  Would 300 Savage feed from a standard 308 Win. Magazine?

Hey.  Everybody has a dream.

Health Insurance That Rocks!

My Parents are in their eighties and my Mom has a bad knee. Recently, it got to the point where she started having a physical therapist that come to the house.  After a couple of sessions, the therapist said she needed a Walker.

My Dad's a retired Lt. Colonel so they have Tricare.  Danged if it didn't pay for the whole thing.  I had to pay the whole $300 for mine.

I have no idea how it's supposed to help my Mom get around but you gotta admit that any health insurance that will buy you a Walker is awesome!


Update:  The first comment on this one will probably make you chuckle more than the silly joke.

Update II:  I deleted the stupid comment.  It was too stupid to have come from a person.

The Stupid Thing That I Did

Was violate one of the cardinal safety rules of reloading. 

When I got done throwing and weighing itty bitty little charges of Bullseye and poured it back into the can, I poured it into a can of Reloader Seven by mistake.  That's right.  I had two cans of powder on the bench at the same time.    Evidently I can't even count higher than one.  The rule is that you never have more than one can on the bench at a time.  The rule isn't "no more than one open can."  Its "no more than one Effing can" of powder at the same time and I had two.   They were even two of the same kind of can because both are Alliant powders.   I realized it before I was done pouring the powder in but it was too late.  There was no way to separate them.  I had a can that had about half a pound of powder in it and it was two different powders.

I don't even want to think about what would have happened if I hadn't caught the mistake and had used that powder thinking it was Reloader Seven.  My face ain't exactly purty but I've grown attached to it.  Same for my hands, eyes and everything else I would have lost if I had pulled the trigger on a rifle case full of Bullseye.

As it is, I lost all the Reloader Seven that was in the can and all the Bullseye that I poured into it.   To make sure I didn't risk using it by mistake I burnt it in a small pile on the back patio.  I do have a video but I can't get it to upload and work on the blog just yet.  Maybe tomorrow I will fool with it some more.

I have disposed of unknown powders this way in the past but I guess they were slower powders because this pile really took off on me.  Probably should have used a powder trail as a fuse.  At least the dog got a kick out of it.  If I get the video to work you'll see what I mean.
