Talk about a lack of information.

Umm okay who let us fall onto the 2nd page?

I think it was you.

Nah - he was busy today, shooting and schooling. I helped with the shooting part. It was actually pretty nice outside, a couple of hours shooting flew by.

 

[CTC B4Z]

Actually worked at work today soooooo yea....

I have an idea for a meet & shoot. There will be a rather large steel challenge match at North Porter County in August. I just signed up to shoot 4 guns, which means two sessions. Maybe we can get a squad together from the NWI group?

American Reloading's Conquest of the Midwest Steel Challenge Match

North Porter County Conservation Club will be hosting a major 3 day Steel Challenge event August 20th thru 22nd in Chesterton Indiana. We will have cash payouts for Steel Master 150.00 and Rifle Master 100.00. We also will have a 2 stage outlaw side match Saturday night for Rimfire and...

This will be a chance to shoot all 8 stages of Steel Challenge at one match.

That would be great, are you supplying the ammo?

 

[marvin02]

I am supplying nothing but a smile and good wishes. You are a reloader now - don't those fancy machines make new rounds out of thin air?

Edit - just cause I am crazy and shooting 8-900 rounds in one weekend doesn't mean you have to, you can shoot one gun and then you only need 200-250.

Note to self: put away enought ammo for big match - i.e. gotta hide some of the good stuff from myself. I'm not worried, my wife will find it if I forget where I put it.

2nd Edit: There is a reason that I almost exclusively shoot .22lr at steel.

The next few days, starting this afternoon, should be fun.

Lots of "free" sand at the beach. Just got to go and scoop it up.

And then dry it out, or carry an ice pick. Something about wet sand when there is snow on the ground that just does not make the sand easy to spread.

Yup. A little more snow tonight and then frigid temps for a week or so. Dont mind the snow but hate the cold

I'm the opposite. Don't mind the cold except that we have another appointment with Daisy at the Purdue Westville ophthalmologist tomorrow morning, and it's curbside. That means you call when you get there, they come and get the dog (at least a half hour later) and then 30-60 min later, the vet calls you to discuss the progress and options. Then another half hour later, they come to the car with the dog and the bill. So 87-yr-old Mom, our other pup, and I are sitting in the car for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the cold. We've done it three times already. We have lots of warm throws and everyone will dress warm. I'll start the car for a few minutes when I need to.

why would you not just leave the car running? it won't hurt anything, gas usage will be extremely minimal.

I don't like either, but if I have to choose I'll take snow over cold.

 

[Snapdragon]

For two hours? I run it for a few minutes at a time to warm the car up, and then we're good for a while. Also, there will be cars on either side of us for the whole time, and they will be breathing our exhaust.

 

[darkkevin]

run it all day if you want, won't bother a thing. modern cars running properly emit so little emissions you could be inches from the tailpipe and not even get dizzy. I sit in my truck for lunch almost every day with it running for heat or air conditioning more often than not. two hours wouldn't be a pint of fuel.

OK, good to know. I'll run it when I need to.

 

[Lushamania]

Would running the climate control system exert any additional fuel usage? I'm a bit surprised how little gasoline is used in this scenario; I learned something new today!

I don't like either, but if I have to choose I'll take snow over cold.

Yeah, likewise.

 

[darkkevin]

No. If it weren’t for climate control it wouldn’t really be running for anything else
