The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[mcapo]

They are not the only ones. Bid on some ammo in a local auction, some paid more for factory reload 45 acp then I paid at my lgs (with buyers premium). 5 minutes later I picked up the same stuff for 32 cents/rnd out the door. Go figure.

At some point there has to be a correction.

Yes, and it will be a hard correction.

Good Morning : My Peep-Hole

Today I am carless, as my beloved 144,000 mile Subaru Outback has an interesting clicking sound in the front left.

Probably not a hub as it is too rhythmic. Consistently getting louder and really sings when I turn hard left.

Took it to my "guy" and he states its prolly a CV joint....nice, on my car that only drives straight lines for 144,000 miles.

Mkay, whatever, lets get the credit card warmed up and do this.

Maybe it's time for that new to me used Tundra I've been dreaming about.

YMMV

Morning all

For what it's worth, I sold ALOT of CV shafts in my auto parts days. Also installed quite a few when I turned a wrench for a living. Not an uncommon failure. Just like a U-Joint, they get a lot of torque put through them.

Morning folks

Played the break a fever game again last night, thankfully slept thru it well, had to change my shirt out afterwards. This morning I feel better, but my throat is sore, so the hot coffee is more refreshing than usual.

Our first Suby needed CV joints at about the same point but it was my fault since I had noticed the boots were torn about 30k miles earlier. IIRC, it was an easy job that only took a couple of hours. Messy, but not difficult.

Hot toddy’s will fix a sore throat every time, no fail. The key is to just keep drinking them until the sore throat doesn’t bother you. It normally takes one but I’ve never had a sore throat that burned through 5 of them.

Evidently he didn't find me on the lot in my reptile costume. Maybe next time.

Feeling mo better?

Lot Lizard jokes? Feeling with my fingers.

I wonder if S&W will eventually sell their new AR grip separately. They come with interchangeable backstraps. I do like the M&P 2.0 grip texture and shape.

The Larue looks nice, but I like a more vertical grip angle. Currently run BCM grips on most of my rifles.

Night sweats were the worst part for me. Sore throat was a short term effect. Had the night sweats about 4 nights. Hope it leaves quickly, T. I'm still barking up some lung congestion.

It's an interesting cycle. I'm just starting to cough some stuff up. Seems like the body aches and fatigue start towards middle of the day and get really bad at night. Clinic told me about 2 weeks is average for the crud to work it's way through completely.

Parked on the couch watching Terminator 2. Lever action shotgun and 1911 very precedent in this movie. And a very fit Linda Hamilton.

Might I add…..GOOD Carbon MonOxide detectors save lives!!!!
Don’t buy the idiot light only cheap ones.
Digital ppm display that plugs in and has battery back up.

Thanks! I just ordered 3 more to change out with what we currently have been using!

Let me know when you decide to retire that old worn out Outback, I might be interested.
