Mrs FPGT72 we ruined your tire......thoughts from the collective.

That was the phone call from the wife got on Friday. Last week we go out to leave for work and her tire is flat as can be. I air it up and tell her if she feels it funny to call me. She has raced before and knows how a car feels. She has also spent time under a car, and had carbs apart on kitchen tables.....she is not an idiot when it comes to vehicles. She gets to work fine and is in meetings all day with folk from over seas. During lunch she runs out and flat. This time she can see a nail on top, so at least we know now. One of the other girls there has a 12v pump and they air up her tire, she will follow my wife to the tire shop and give her a lift back. She has a pump of her own, but now wants one of these, its faster. Its ok, I am a tool junkie as well.

Phone rings an hour later and she thinks her car is done and ready to pick up. Nope.

Tire dude: ahh, Mrs FP, we tore up your tire trying to get it off the rim, all our fault.
wife: well the tires are old, I was just trying to hold out till july.
Tire dude: We will give you a new tire.
wife: Ok I want xyz, model abc.
Tire dude: well I don't have those in stock, I can get them monday (friday remember)
Wife: well give me one to drive on till monday.
Tire dude: well we can't, you car is AWD and it will screw stuff up.
Wife: let me call my husband
Tire dude: What if we give you 4 new tires
Wife: that does not sound right me knowing I needed them anyway, let me call my husband.

She rings me and tells me the entire deal, yea cars don't like having one different tire, even if it was the same make it could be bad, one being new and the others being REALLY old. She tells me he has this other tire and asks if they are ok. Yea they are fine name brand and a good tire. So should she do it, yea just replace all now, pay for three, and get him to toss in a free alignment.

She calls back lays it out for him. I am told he is in shock she is not ranting and raving. Says she will do it, pay for three if he can toss in an alignment. He says sure, and he will give her the other three tires at cost. Her last question was how soon. He knew she was having a real busy day, he could have the tires done in an hour, but he would need another hour for the alignment, he can do that next week, but don't wait too long. She got the car back in an hour and taking it back on Tuesday.

Guy was in shock she was so mellow about it all, she told them she knows about changing tires both her and I drove race cars, and built one from scratch, yup that little 100lb 5' nothing female. He thanked her up and down and it is a done deal.

So thoughts from the collective. I see it a little like the shopping cart rule, it was just the right thing to do.

Not that I really care, but just interested in what the collective thinks.

15 minute cities

For those that have forgotten recent history. This is EXACTLY the Soviet existence. Within a few buildings around you, your kids go to school, your local supermarket, your work. Within a few city blocks you will have no need to leave the area in your daily life.

CONTROL over individuals as they will not have the means to travel, move, speak, purchase, learn outside of the small area module those who sit above have deemed necessary for you.

If they move from animal protein to insect protein, what are you going to do? No means to travel or transport anything, meet, rally, anything.

The Great Reset involves pushing us back to Soviet era control of citizenry. We are not learning from history, but the Globalists are and actively trying to apply it.

ignore the source, the info is valid

Shop interior ideas

Anyone have any good ideas for the interior of my shop. It is about 2400sq ft with 16ft side walls. It is getting spray foamed in the next few weeks then I will put steal on the ceiling.

I am trying to figure out what to do with the walls. Steel looks good but is expensive and makes the barn extremely loud if you are doing anything. I have thought about osb and painting it. Or a decent ply wood and leaving it natural. It is stick built so no extra work for plywood.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Hearing Aids

Looked at a few threads on the subject, but did not see anything relating to my questions, so for you guys using hearing aids...

My hearing is on the borderline "significantly impaired" and tinnitus seems to be my favorite music. This AM I had a thought and put in my Sound Gear Phantoms and turned on the TV. I can hear it at about half the volume I would normally select. Hey! Great, but...

1) My voice seems muffled.
2) Sound seems to lack bass.
3) Can't hear crap if chewing/drinking.

Can I expect the same with hearing aids?

Is there an advantage to behind the ear or in ear versions?

Any other advice is greatly appreciated.

lindbergh

reading a bio sketch re chas lindbergh. i knew that he was anti war (2) and read that he was classed by many as pro nazi. wasn't sure and am now learning that was not the case. he was against any european involvement and wanting to see america building it's military up in a strong unassailable defensive posture. he did blame the roosevelt regime, the english and jews for pushing us to war. he was right. somehow he missed the subversive influence of the ussr. the roosevelt regime was totally under the influence of soviet intelligence. the jews in europe,he felt,would only be further damaged by this push. that was logical but incorrect assessment of jewish outcomes in europe. the actions and response of the media,regime propaganda,character assassination,false and slanted reporting seem very reminiscent of the deep states attack on trump. and,the whole lend lease prewar scam reminds of what is happening re biden and ukraine today. one can hope the next step,a world war,is not the outcome again. but,as others have said here,seems like that's the goal of the NWO elites. if that happens,gonna cost the USA way more than 400,00 dead and the world more than 50,000,000.

Chopping a die down?

Okay so long story short I cannot get enough shoulder bump on my brass. I am using Redding type s 6.5cm dies and lapua brass. 400 pieces are on their 5th firing and 200 pieces on their second firing.

The issue started on the 4th firing as I was getting a tougher bolt close than I would like. So since it is a barrel nut barrel I assumed I pinched my head space a little tight so I opened it up so I got about 1/2 bolt close on no go instead of 1/4 bolt close. That worked for a firing but now I’m back in the same boat.
D993ED72-DD4B-4080-918E-9391F6556A76.jpeg


I got a tikka to build a hunter/beater rig and I sized a piece of the 2x fired brass and it won’t chamber. I am getting 1.502-1.503 shoulder measure prior to sizing and 1.501 after sizing. I can chamber it in my barrel nut barrel with light resistance but it’s way too tight for my tikka.

I have already tried light to really heavy can over on my press and it doesn’t change the outcome.

So I have a buddy that can turn my die down to shorten it up a bit so I can use the comp shell holder set to adjust back up in case I shorten the die too much.

My question is how much do I take off the die? Currently I am thinking around 6thou. And has anyone ran into this and is there anything I am missing?
