I hear ya. Cat got me up at 3:30 after going to bed late. Dozed for about a half hour and then laid in bed awake until 6:30 when I finally gave up and got up.

The dog go me up early as he had business to attend to. Just couldnt get back to sleep so I gave up also and got up. Thought I went to bed early enough but didn't get to sleep til around 1-2. Might try a sleep aid tonite.

The kerosene soak yesterday revealed all the numbers and address on the Colt 1851 this morning. What was thought to be corrosion was actually dirt and hardened oil. New York address, all parts match and it's an 1867 date.

I saw the "before" photo. Please repost the before and add an after photo when you get it cleaned up. Thanks.

Thanks, but I suspect I might have difficulty finding one for a 1911 Commander pistol.

They are out there, Heiser also made a very nice shoulder holster for the 1911.

That colt is definitely a oldy. Nice too that is a matching parts gun also

I'm going to lightly brush the cylinder sides today and see how much of the roll picture is left. Conservation takes patience as you don't want to remove metal patina, just dirt.

I'm probably gonna hit the rack very early tonight.

Wouldn't doubt I will too.

Bought dinner for my son and DIL in Hopkinsville last night and got to hold the grandbaby a while. She took two steps in a row for the first time while I was there. Was their anniversary. Nova will be a year old in about a month. Hard to believe.

That's really cool

V-Bob, AR15 with new quietener and the CZ457 are going to the range today.

Only 14? Amateur.

Try 20 or so tabs on each of 3 monitors and work your way up from there.

I'm going to give out a tip that may help someone. For those of you who use Chrome, you can get a Chrome extension called Panic Button.

Panic Button

Hide all your tabs at once with one single button and restore them later.

chrome.google.com

It's a free extension that you install in your browser. After installing it you press the red button that is now in the browser and it closes all of your open tabs and opens a new blank tab up. You press the now green button and it will open all of the previous closed tabs up. I don't use it for it's intended purpose, but for when I go to reboot my computer and don't want to have to open all of those precious tabs back up. You press it and it closes all of the open tabs and opens a new tab, afterwards reboot your computer and when it's back up you open the browser again and press it again and all of your tabs come back to life.
There might be other ways to get this same effect, but this is what I researched and works for me.
Morning all!

Annie, my RART, my BCM upper AR and my PDP compact are going with me.

I would have to find a solution for that cat. A child is one thing, or even a dog that needs to go out, but a cat...

In high school in shop class we used kerosene to clean small engines that worked on. I overhauled my dad's tiller one year at school and it ran so good after I was done. Still proud of that project.

The cat sleeps on the end of the bed. Around 3:30 - 4:30, she hears our other cat on the outside of the bedroom door, waiting for me to get up to feed him. She decides since he's up, she should be up and wakes me up so I can feed them. Yay.

 

[gmcttr]

You should teach her to feed him like a good woman.

I shouldn't have said that even in purple...totally joking ladies.

Going to have to see if I can get the 17 out to MCF&G for a bit this weekend, but also hope to get some fishing time in as well since last weekend didn't happen for me. This time of year is prime time.

Once I get a little time with the 17 myself I may reach out to some of you guys to sync up at a range in the near future.

I really should have taken today off.

Balancing all that with my shoulder pain (presumably from the disc problems identified in my neck a few years back) is just killing me the last several days. May put a damper on things.

 

[wtburnette]

Sorry to hear about the neck pain. Believe me I understand.

 

[Benp]

Sometimes I'll get neck pain and will not be able to move my head to look around and have to move my whole body. This will happen generally for about 3 days and then I get back to normal. The last time it happened I was like that for almost a month. Not sure what is happening there.

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

Have a good weekend all. May the sun shine on your face and the wind at your back.

Locked and loaded for the forestry. Much needed R&R for RR and crew. Bets on who drops the first mallow in the fire?
