Any ideas on the age of this? There’s no lot number or anything on it. And it cost a buck 75.

I have almost the same can but mine does not have the logo at the top. I Googled B.E. Hodgdon Inc. Merriam KS and found this.

In 1949, he began acquisition of powder salvaged from disassembled Oerlikon 20mm cannon cartridges. This powder resembled IMR 4350 in appearance, and with a slower burning rate, was initially marketed as "4350 Data", and later as 4831

His family initially packaged the powder for resale in the basement of their home.

Yah this ones pretty cool it’s unopened, my wife’s grandpa dug it up somewhere. He said he couldn’t remember when he bought it and he’s pushing 80 so I’m guessing it’s 40 ish years or more old

At least 40+ I'd guess. The can I have is from the mid 1950's. Purchased by my Father when he began reloading 270.
 
Difficult to tell from the pix, but it doesn't look like a very large sanctuary. But, then again, apparently last Sunday's attendance was 585.
The church is pretty small, fifty people in there would be cozy. Here it is from the entrance at the rear. (585 is the first song of the service.)

I went back in our cruise log, this is the Mariner’s Church in Kagawong, Ontario on Manitoulin Island.

About a week ago, I installed a Senville mini-split (from Amazon) in our house here in the hills. This is a small house, under 700 feet, and isn’t particularly well insulated. It is temporary until we build our retirement home. We just sold/closed our old house.

The unit is highly rated on Amazon and it is very user install friendly. It is 19 seer and the energy sticker shows it to be very energy efficient. Supposed to heat down to 5* and it has been in the 20s several nights since. Zero issues, just works.

I am completely blown away! It is almost silent yet heats and cools amazingly well. What is this wizardry!

It has a remote and a few different modes but I simply set it on auto and to the temp I want and let it switch from heat to cool as it needs to during 24 hrs.

All I needed was a vacuum pump and a set of gauges, it comes pre-charged with refrigerant. I did it in about 4 hours but now that I have done one I could do it much faster.

I bought the line cover kit for outside and I mounted the compressor on a hanging bracket I built under my porch.

All for about the price of a nice window unit 🤭

Mini-splits are the future, I plan to put them in our new house.

My only comment on mini split units - If you have multiple units on the same head unit, they all have to be in the same mode.

We love ours, but there are times we would prefer to run A/C upstairs without changing the downstairs units. We have 3 inside units on one head.

Also I have gotten water and electric run to my shop. Ain’t no dirt like mountain dirt.

I am removing the oil furnace from the house and turning that space into a closet. I sold the tank on CL this week.

Driveway is good, we hauled about 35 tons of stone and ABC.

Bought a pro type paint sprayer, going to paint the shop soon.

Ready to bust up the garden area. I got a screaming deal on a disc, 1 bottom plow and a cultivator.

Making lots of progress.

This will be our final home and we certainly love it here.


My grandson does too. ❤️

I had read that too. My plan is a compressor for each zone. Cost isn’t much different and if one goes down it doesn’t kill the whole house.
 
Looks a bit too close to the ceiling. The brand I install requires at least 12 inches from the ceiling

Southern Baptists do it different....today's attendance, last Sunday's attendance, Sunday School...

Neat looking church.

If you still plan on using minisplits when you build the new house, most of the major manufacturers have cartridges that will fit in the ceiling in your truss spacing is 24"oc. This would eliminate the intrusive wall wart

I hesitate to post this but it is just too good.

If you are a person who takes every opportunity to denigrate any religious post, please refrain and listen to the guy. I’m not Catholic but am very familiar with their faith. This is a RARE priest right here and I hope he does not back down because the church leadership WILL be coming for him.

I have seen those as an option. Sort of look like a return.

WOW!!!
God bless this man!
 
Had a rancher come in at his wife's insistence. I was working at a Rural Health Clinic in an isolated area. NO X-ray and no serious care available. He really didn't want to be there. I listened to his story, and told him to take off his shirt.
He had been working in the barn, and putting his horse in the stall. He'd worked with it all day and had done fine, tno balkiness or other head-strong behavior out of the horse. It was his favorite mount, and his best cow-pony.
For some reason, unknown, the animal kicked him square in the chest, throwing him clean across the length of the barn.
As he took off his shirt, there was a red horsehoe print right in the chest between the sternum and his left nipple. It covered the entire area. NO deformity, but I suspected immediately cracked ribs, and a possible flail chest, even though there was no paradoxical movement. His lung sounds were clear and his heart sounds were no muffled. It had only been about 10 minutes since he'd been kicked.
I told his wife, don't let him leave, (he was wanting to put on the shirt and go), and called the EMT. I did a quick 12 lead, but didn't find anything wrong with his tracing, and had him on O2 immediately. The EMT's put him on the monitor, and while I sat with him and explained what might happen next (including tapping a hematoma, blind if I could get the off duty doc inthe next town to come over (50 miles), I also called Reno, to send their helicopter. The bird got there in an hour, and flew him away.
He did in fact have a cardiac contusion, that was just developing, and a tear in his pericardial sac. He resisted the idea of going to Reno, but his wife was deeply grateful. He was too after they were done with him .
Great guy, and I am glad we caught it early. Had he waited til morning to come in, he'd have never made it through the night.
Horses can put a serious hurt on you.
