Got back just in time to move about 5" of heavy wet snow, drifts 1 1/2 to 2 feet high. April Fool's Day no less.

Earlier this week I was on the way home from a trip to see one of my sons in Florida. It worked out to meet Justin face to face and buy some lead. Just wanted to say thanks - and that he was super easy to work with as we set up the deal.

Just short of 20 years ago was checking my declared revolver to leave Mpls./St. Paul for Alaska. The ammunition was in the cartridge belt loops and they weren’t going to allow it because “that’s loose ammunition”. After a 45 minute conversation/argument between the guy, his supervisor and me...

Best guess is about 120 shooters.

T-storm went through last night. Clear and nice right now. People saying attendance down. Just done with sighters.

Checked out the location late this afternoon. Weather forecast calls for rain tonight, hope not too much. Vendor had pure lead round ball. Bought some .375” for my Whitney.

I was thinking along those lines. Contemplating drilling and tapping a fine hole in the screw and attaching the lever that way.

Back in the day John Gallagher built a takedown latch that did not require a screwdriver. While John is no longer with us, I emailed his son Isaac who related that it was something they no longer provide. My google searches have not yet paid off - anybody know if somebody makes something...

There are others but these are the three where I can remember the most details. T/C Hawken .50 caplock with 80grs. Goex FFg. I was moving to a different spot and got a broadside snap shot at a young meat doe at 15 yards. Both of us were very surprised to see each other and I had poor shot...
