The CZickness XLVI...What's next my friends.

Just a guess, but could it be that the Lapua is made slightly oversized for looser chambers?

No. If anything, Lapua is made for the best accuracy in match chambers. One feature of these chambers is they have a short throat allowing bullets to engrave into the rifling. This is the source of more effort to close the bolt.

I hear you.
When I was a kid, we got out in mid to late May and didn't start up again until the day after Labor Day.

I think the schools don't want the kids away too long with their family at any one time because they're afraid the indoctrination will be undone too much.

Control.

I ask the question about education this way. Each year goes by and they want more money and more time to produce lower results.

Brutal day in the factories, working with a new powder coating setup. Had to ask who plumed the compressed air supply to the blasting cabinet, they failed to notice that the pipe blocks the door from opening al all.

The filter, regulator, and shut off valve were all convenient for the operator, assuming he did not want to put anything in the cabinet.

Back when I worked in Mexcio I was involved with a line setup that had a big coater/oven in one machine. This machine was heated with an auxiliary boiler. Client was complaining that even with the boiler and air blower at max the parts were not dry. Had racks brought in to keep the line running while I investigated the problem, checking the boiler first then sticking my arm into the discharge end of the machine to feel for heat that wasn't there. Followed the water circulation line from the boiler which was hot, to the machine that wasn't, but could not find the recirculating pump or the electrical service for it. Asked about this and got a blank stare and a "whazzat" in Spanish from the Mexican "millwrights".

Progress on the box. All that’s left is applying the Tung oil.
And it’s way too hot in the shop for that.

Well poop. Went to grab something out of the car and found hard rain delivered a few inches of water in the passenger front floor board. Internet quick search says sunroof drain tubes were a common issue.

A piece of braided cable can be handy for cleaning out blocked sunroof drain tubes

Heck. That may just be the humidity.

Indeed, i siliconed mine and never had another problem. They never got clogged, they just come disconnected by the A pillar. Mine was the drivers side, leaked right on the electrical connector for the gas pedal and threw the car into limp mode every time it rained or went through a car wash. That was a fun one to diagnose.

At least I found something to do tonight after physical therapy, visiting my Mom and dinner.

Samsies. The turkeys have been waiting on me to throttle down so we can read it.

I feel your pain. The Commander had this happen a couple times. The first being about 2 days after I bought it. Heavy storm while at work, came out to sponge floors. Drove it straight to the dealership. My first vehicle with sunroof, and my last.

It's just way too hot. Sweated through my shirt washing the downstairs windows. Inside drinking beer is much more comfortable.

July 5th. Summer is going fast. The kids are back in school late this month for Gods sake. That’s just wrong.

My take on the "balanced" school schedules is that it's a big stinking pile of hooey. While we were out playing in the sun having a grand time and learning all sorts of social skills, the kids who hated summer and lived indoors took charge and turned the whole thing up side down. It puts a real strain on any sort of family vacation time and sure as hell doesn't allow kids to be kids when the sun is shining.

My daughter, who is now a high school teacher, loves the schedule as it allows her time throughout the year to decompress and maintain her sanity.

So, as much as I hate what's happened to summer time for kids and families, I totally understand how it benefits the teachers.

And that's the problem.
Today the teachers put themselves first and the kids last.

Bet there are a bunch of caring educators who make that untrue in their lives. Can't lump them all together , Ed.

I gently use compressed air to blow the drain tube for the sunroof on the Expedition. Usually every spring and fall
