Figured I'd move this thread over, in light of all the folks who posted such great stuff back on the old 'Hide. I captured a lot of it and will incorporate into the new room(s).

Another snowy weekend spent in the barn attic saw the completion of all my framing and the installation of all the wiring. Put in 8 outlets in the room, all at 48" height, to give plenty of clearance over benches. Wired in the light switches, too.

I found a really neat fixture at Home Depot which is an LED track light, but built in an "S" shape. So you can point lights in all kinds of interesting directions. And it current draw is tiny. I'll combine that with some on-bench lights.

Decided, too, to add a Gunsmithing bench for rifle building and other projects. That will be separate from the reloading benches. But I have lots of room.

Pictures when I get around to it. We're getting a 14" dusting of snow up here. So may get a day off tomorrow to keep going!

Insulating next. Did I mention I hate insulating? It itches.

Cheers

With spring and summer here… been a rash of people dumping off unwanted litters around the area. Kittens and puppies both.

Not bothering to take them to the shelter (paperwork and fees? Don’t know if shelter charges for surrenders of litters??) and leaving them in a parking lot or by the road?? That is lower than whale shit.

On the bright side…. This little guy adopted me on Tuesday. After a bath, a couple of days of quarantine away from the other cats and a vet check… he thinks he rules the house.

Meet General “Blackjack” Pershing. He has been stuck to me like glue and eating like a cavalry horse! He loves belly rubs!!



So far Boudicca is afraid of him. General Sherman is not happy. And Pouncy the old man who has been through this before… seems to be accepting him fine. Couple of weeks, they will all be sleeping in a pile together…

Baby kittens are so cute!!!

An acquaintance told me many stories about his plans to retire as a lineman and live in Thailand.

Around 1990, he purchased a home in Thailand and had two girls who lived in the house.

He would go to Thailand 3-4 times a year to drink, PT and F like a madman.

When in country, he stayed in the master bedroom and they cooked/ cleaned etc.

When he was not their they simply lived rent free and maintained the home and paid utilities.

Evidently a non Thai citizen cannot own land so some are able to lease land for 99 years or they can own 49% of a home.

Evidently as a 49% owner, they can simply vote you out and sell the home to themselves or for cash.



I have another friend in the middle of divorce who want to be a digital nomad, leave the US and live in Thailand while still working their IT job.

At face value it seems perfect.
Thai developers built too many condos so you can rent a nice 3 bedroom condo for $300-$400 while making your US income.



Evidently Thailand has a culture in Thailand of fleecing retirees....


I figured I'd post this video and see if any of you have any first hand knowledge of friends / family retiring in Thailand.

This is why I've gone to slugs for my more powerful pcp's, specifically the Altaros slugs, for the longer distance shooting and competitions.

Way back many years ago here on SH I learned about environmentals and have been applying that knowledge to airguns ever since.

I can't help but admire Matt because he's always been a straight forward guy and a great shooter.

Hopefully these new X slugs will be a cheaper alternative than Altaros when they arrive on the market.

Yes I also have less powerful sub 30 fpe pcp's that I use pellets in exclusively but it's quite a different experience. I appreciate both types of projectiles and the attributes each offer.

I typically use Redding type S bushing dies and Forster micrometer seating dies. When I started I bought all basic RCBS dies and quickly upgraded for calibers in which accuracy was a priority. I’ve never had an issue.
That being said I went to load some 300 black out subs using my RCBS dies. They hadn’t been used in a couple years so I spray them down with CLP inside and out to clean any residual gunk.
The cases were a combination of new Starline, once fire Starline from my gun, and once fired from friends rifles. They were all sized with the same RCBS sizing die. Case mouths were chamfered. Graphite lube was used. 3 of the 10 cases (no Starline) pushed the bullet into the die getting completely stuck. The case came out with a massively oversized neck that then wouldn’t hold a bullet. All cases were the same manufacturer. While I would like to blame the brass I’m not sure how the brass could be responsible. Bullets are 220 grain SMK seconds. I’m considering using this as a reason to finish my collection of Redding and Forster dies. Ideas?
