The CZickness XLIII prepping for winter.

[RustyHornet]

I don’t mind the cold for a little bit. Give me two weeks before Christmas and two weeks after. No wind though… don’t tease me with snow flurries though, give me a blizzard if you’re gonna do it… just dump it on so we can’t leave the house for a week.

Morning everyone
Stay warm if you must venture out. I will be heading over to Nobletucky in just a little while.

Being snowed in leads to more babies.

But morning always comes.

Fixing that issue soon.

Fixing that issue soon.

Which brand of snow blower are you going with?

 

[WebSnyper]

That sounds nice. But I'm not enjoying cold weather like I used to, so this year I'm asking my wife for a heated jacket for winter.

My wife and daughter both have heated vests and love them, but I'm not a vest kinda guy.


I can't get Amazon links to work? Even if I direct copy and paste.....??

I think there is one that takes Milwaukee batteries (since I know you have some Milwaukee stuff). Not sure if you have seen those or not:

Ugh, replaced the trigger in my Mark IV 22/45 tactical and it was a PITA. I'm definitely not a hardware guy...

Though, now that it's done it feels pretty good. Not ready to try to tackle the VQ accurizing kit at this time though.

Just sleeping from ~5am to 8am is not long enough. Going to be a wasted day for me.

Wheel Horse if I can find one!

But are you prettier than you were yesterday?

How do you like their enhanced uppers/hand guard? Also, have you seen the Faxon integrated muzzle device barrels? https://faxonfirearms.com/rifle-barrels/integral-muzzle-device/
Would only make sense if not wanting to swap for another muzzle device, but an interesting concept (especially since I originally hail from a state with restrictions)

Can't say, haven't had/used one before. I do like a lot of Aero's other goods, so it's time to go full Monty.

My MD will be designed around the ability to put a can on after the eFile thing dust settles. Would like to pin&weld to prevent a 2stamper. Still currently researching this portion of the design.

I immediately assumed you were wanting another baby, not a snow blower. Lol.

I have one of the older Milwaukee heated sweatshirts with M12 1.5 & 2.0 Ah batteries and they work great. The 3.0 Ah batteries last a hour longer than mine and would be well worth the price. I'm wearing mine right now on medium and very comfy.
The Milwaukee has larger elements than the dewalt brand. I think the new Milwaukee line has heated pockets for your hands.

Morning.

 

[bcannon]

Howdy 88, staying warm I hope..?

 

[88E30M50]

I am. Hope you are as well. I’ve been waiting on a FedEx that was scheduled for delivery today. It got to Kentucky on Saturday, so it should have been able to make it to the Indy area by today.

But, as was expected, it’s still showing as being in Kentucky. The thing that I hate about FedEx is that their delivery prediction routine is crap. The package is sitting in Independence Kentucky, yet they still show that it will be delivered by 8pm today. I’ll be lucky to see if by the end of the week and it will most likely continue to show delivery scheduled for today.

Once it shows ‘Out for Delivery’, it should be here within 3 days normally. But, who knows now days. I fully understand about the system being swamped but they really need to work on their algorithm for predicting deliveries.

The snowblower was actually a drink served at the Regulator in Bloomington during the late 70s, half Bacardi 151 and half Yukon Jack. Had one for free, it was nasty, like drinking after shave.

I spent a lot of time in Btown in the 70's .... I remember that drink !
