The CZickness XLIII prepping for winter.

[88E30M50]

I finally received the ammo that was supposed to be here on Wednesday. I was talking for a bit to the driver that was admiring the cars in the garage. He was a younger guy and he looks around and says, 'this is a really cool Grandpa garage'. Dang, that hurt. I'd feel better if I actually had grandkids.

I now feel bad that I have a great grandpa garage but no grandkids to enjoy it with

My press still hasn't arrived, thanks to FedEx's continued incompetence. It made it to 57 miles straight north of me in Fremont just after midnight and then went over to Perrysburg, Ohio, which is 89 miles NE of me.....in F'ing OHIO. Now it says it's being delivered tomorrow (originally Friday, then Thursday, then Pending, then Delayed, now this).

So I spent today reading reloading materials, researching annealing, watching reloading videos and then decided to sort my brass out and installed some fancy blue and red bins from Menards. Okay, the bins were installed last night, but whatever.

That reminds me of when I was waiting on delivery of my press. I was sorting my 45 cases by headstamp as if that mattered with plinking ammo.

I see it as more of a complement. Probably more organized and can get more work done.

I received the parts today for rejetting the ATV. I'm close to being done with this project. There is still a fan issue that I need to address, but I need to get it screaming before I need to cool it down.

I'm guessing that you'll need the AWOL press ?

It might be delayed beyond that. I ordered something today that I previously overlooked, a Hornady headspace comparator. And I've been thinking about ordering an annealer today also.

If, IF, your reloading bench stays this clean and organized you will be declared mentally unfit to reload and will have to forfeit all reloading equipment to me!

Same philosophy with my guitars. Although at this point, I've gained one (the new Telecaster), my plan is to sell / trade (3) others.
I don't really need eight guitars, after all ! It's not like I'm a traveling musician !

I start to think…. Does a guy really need 30 vintage bicycles. Then I start to smell the smoke… that ends my thinking for the day.

Ain't that the way of it !

I run a tight ship over here. Disorganized is not my way of life.

Some people have no idea just how special you are…

Ain't that the way of it !

Although if a guy is gonna try to make some room for some more cowboy guns….. somethin’s gonna hafta give.

 

[MindfulMan]

BTW, I'm probably the only nut that wanted one, but SWFA is running a promotion on a few scopes, that include free accessories ..... and the offer is good until 12/5 (tomorrow, I guess .... it's sneaking up). But, in case I'm not the only one, I think that it's a good deal, if you have a use for such scopes.
It was really nice to get free rings, sun shade, and bubble level (on top of the $30 discount).

Perrysburg, OH is some sort of Fedex black hole, my dealer shipped a buddy two handguns from me that were just going from Greenfield up to Defiance, OH about 2 hours away, package went to Perrysburg and sat there for at least a week to week and a half.

Down the rabbit hole we go.....

That's probably in their tracking software in the if location = lost statement then display as Perrysburg.

That's right ..... I forgot that you had one too !

 

[churchmouse]

Been a good day here.
Gave the kids the Legacy 1911's.
There were tears.
Made other arrangements for some AR stuff to go to a lifelong friend.
Good family time.

MM I love that Fender.
