Died Suddenly Documentary World Is Live On Rumble


Despite light traffic people were still crashing their cars back than. I'd be going to the emergency rooms to interview the drivers after they were transported.

Yeah, it was pretty quiet in those emergency rooms.

Fixing windmills

The bullshit of the world sure seems far away from up here.

Wish the problems were as easy to fix as this tailbone

Proper windmills, even!

Not your newfangled Condor Cuisinarts!

Keep 'em working! They'll be useful long after the giant chinese plastic ones fall down and blow up.

6mm Dasher vs 6creed

I went through this about 4 years ago.
I sold all my dasher crap and moved to the 6 creed.
I love everything about the 6 creed except barrel wear.
literally Saturday with my dad's tikka and a custom bartlein barrel by a friend, I stacked 4 on top of each other at 900 yards, the first was on a separate, larger target and I used that first shot to dial and I moved to the 4 out of 5 plate which was about a 6 or 7 inch target at 900ish yards because I didn't trust myself that much literally stacked 4 on top of each other.
the gun barrel was dirty and we had some problems and honestly I'm not that good so I only got 10th but the cartridge can do bench rest shit when you treat it like a bench rest cartridge.
yes we do all the fancy shit except trim necks. tried it a bunch, juice not worth the squeeze. annealing was a pleasant surprise and I do it every 2 to 3 firings because I'm too lazy to do it every time. also greatly extends brass life. 20 plus loadings with 40.5 of h4350 under a 115dtac is usual. we ran a load stupid hot for a whole year and toasted a barrel in approx 1100 or 1200 rounds because america... it shot good as shit though, 115 dtacs at 3150 out of a 28" gain twist barty. we averaged 1500 rounds on a barrel running the normal 40.5 load with perfect accuracy. when we see fliers or drop in velocity we now call it a day.
I'm down to 2 6 creed barrels (with my new atxc coming with one, unless im super lucky and get a used atx cheapy cheap).
looking at Bartys lead times I may need to go ahead and make that order and finally try out the new mod BB! hope they offer it in gain twist...

Nothing new. They buried the entire life of the kenyan they installed as president.

CZ 457

That is insanely awesome! You know we need more details 😋
CZ 457 Varmint 20" in a Krg Bravo back bone with a W3 folder and enclosed forend.
Area 419 30 MOA rail for a Spuhr with additionally 20 MOA cant for a total of 50 MOA which is a tad less than half of the total adjustability of the IOR Recon 4-28×.
Old random bolt knob rubber ball, a Atlas PRS bipod and a Ase Utra ECOi moderator.

Fixing windmills

NE 2 through the Sandhills is one of my favorite drives, a big reason being the hundreds of still functioning windmills out there. I have a lot of time out there working on the tracks; always peaceful, always friendly folks. I know the OP is a bit north of there, but when you're in that region it's all pretty similar.

Just don't try it in the snow, it gets absolutely brutal.

The wife wants a windmill on our land, purely for decorative reasons because I'll be damned if I'm drilling another 400+ ft deep well for a couple critters. I might dip my hand into that venture next summer, I'd like to just sit on the porch with a cool drink and watch it turn in the wind. There's some kits out there to fashion one up, but those heads wouldn't survive Wyoming.
We have a 'decorative' one here, mounted on one of our decks. Over the past decade or so, we've had quite a few compliments on it. I won't deny that I've thought a time-or-two about making it "do something" as opposed to just 'spin'.

But, there have always been far importanter jobs to get done in our short allotted time.
