Give me a
Moment!!



My next “kit” from them will be combining two of their Hindenburg kits to make a British R31 post ww1 airship. No one makes a kit of the R31. But the “math” works that you can combine the center frames of two Hindenburgs to stretch it and end up with a R32 that is almost 4 feet long!!!


I have the two kits and a plan drawn up… but it will wait until “air conditioning” weather in summer when farm work is done!

DOGE finds Treasury Dept loses 1 Billion dollars a week to fraud and corruption: Deep State Judge blocks exposure

What I find difficult to understand watching all this from the UK, is why the looney liberal left are so anti DOGE, are they saying "we are happy for our tax dollars to be squandered on quite frankly nonsense projects and/or and embezzled via fraud"?
They are absolutely fine with it as long as the money ends up in leftist pockets and supports their agenda domestically and or globally. The state and its tax collection is their way to foist their dogma on others.

Bench setup and workflow help

You're off to a good start and giving it some forethought....

If it were me, I'd bolt on some bench extensions to the back of your bench that would fill in the gaps around the column and increase the bench surface area... I'd keep any shelving higher up off the bench. Definitely agree with the GOOD lighting!

It will eventually change over time as you find what works for you, so don't get too deep before you figure out what works best for you and your processes....

Leofoto tripod for NRL

I have them on my 324 CLX. It’s just a spring loaded tab and I’d say it is quite a bit faster.The fewer sections should help with stability. My 404 with 100mm apex is rock solid. Especially compared to my 324
Do you think the added stability of the 404 over the 324 has more to do with a wider 100mm apex or the tube diameter?

New Zealand’s Lesbian Navy Captain Loses $100M Naval Ship in Peacetime Disaster – Ship Runs Aground, Catches Fire, and Sinks, Unleashing Oil Spill.

My takeaway is that the NZ "Navy" is not an actual military branch, and cannot be trusted not to sink their ships and kill their sailors suggesting a battle efficiency of something very close to zero. My guess is that all those redactions aren't even secrets, but even more embarrassing circumstances than even the clown show we know.

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

So I did some more planned work on the 4Runner.

New lower ball joints, genuine Toyota (anything else is peeing into the wind)

Took the faux beadlock bolts out of the wheels, drilled the holes smooth and sanded , sanded, sanded. They are beat up pretty good but are acceptable now. New dark bronze metallic paint and matte clear simulate the color of the newer TRD wheels I see sometimes. Look great from 10’ 😅

Cataract Surgeon in DFW Area

I can't use a dope card or bubble level with these lenses, but my distance vision is perfect. I can and have spotted coyotes at well over 1000yds since during the day, had to work on my shotgun mechanics and ended up just removing beads or fiber optics because of the blurriness. I need etched reticle red dots to overcome the effects of astigmatism and halos/half moon dots. Overall, I would go with exactly what I have. I asked about replacements if the need arises, my ophthalmologist said that these will outlast me. I guess I shouldn't be too upset, considering that my old eyes were something terrible.

Custom Ruger American Gen 2 6.5 Grendel

“It’s not the destination, but the journey…” 😜

I like to tinker and improve cheap rifles, too.
Makes me think I’m getting a deal when in reality I probably spend close to custom rifle cost! But it keeps me occupied in the cold months here, and keeps the costs spread out which the better half is more OK with I’ve learned.

Glad you got that 6.5 Gr working. Now it’s time to burn some powder! Pictures are always welcome. 👍
