Got out to test some ammo, IMR 4895 & 168 pills. As usual, ran perfectly, a little more tweaking and the kids who play on my beautiful crab grass lawn won't stand a chance. 🤨🤣
 
That’s incredible. Beautiful work!
Thanks, I’ll tell him. Since he worked for a while in a guitar store with a real luthier and knowledgeable craftsman, he knew which components worked best with each other for a specific result. He just didn’t yet know the wood working and craft parts.

He says it is still his sweetest sounding and smoothest guitar.
 
When you're PM'in @BurtG while day drinking, things tend to happen.

Needs a few more coats… almost thick enough! 🤣

I actually love that you treat that like a useful tool…fuck the purists who will get the vapors over rattle can paint on a KA gun.

You’ve inspired me to try to rattle can a couple more of mine this weekend if the rain holds off; mine are just regular ARs, not KA or URX sacred cows though.

It's like someone buying a Tree 2-UVR knee and not using it proper because OMG it's better than a Bridgeport... DONT USE IT!

Im too dumb to do angles other than 90.
 
A client I trained on the rifle range works for Bell. His only job is the main rotor blades on the Huey. He told me they've been converted to four main rotor blades, because it is more efficient. I said "But that would mean they lost their distinctive sound and that makes me sad."

The conversion started way back in 2005-6. The new ones do not whop whop whop anymore but like most rotary wing aircraft they are still easy to tell apart. The upgrades in performance and better part compatability between hueys and cobras is a big deal.

Thanks for posting that… I just sent it to my son, and a couple of his friends/peer group that I try to mentor or at least keep well armed and proficient! LoL.

I remember reading Seneca when I was young, and honestly tried hard to live something that at least smelled like a Stoic life. One of the greatest compliments one of my bosses ever paid me was when he told me I’m a “Ditch digger”…he said he was impressed by how I just put my head down and got shit done, and didn’t care who got the credit.

I’ve become far too cynical over the years though…and I know it’s wrong to say or even think this way, but I’m also getting too old to change my ways. Or maybe I just don’t care about other people's opinions anymore. 🤷‍♂️

Myself, I mostly vacillate between Laconic and Cynic… With a fair bit of Ironic thrown in for good measure! Healthy doses of Satire and Sarcasm help me get through my day too! LoL

It’s good to get reminders of what can and should be though, so again, thanks for posting that. I needed a reminder today.
