Yesterday.......Mrs BPMS, my daughter and I are going home from a Texas vacation. Drove 2000+ miles touring places in TN, Arkansas and Texas. Spent a day shooting black powder with the Red River Renegades in northern TX. That video will be posted after I get it edited soon.
This was taken yesterday in St Louis at 130pm....home to eastern KY by 830pm. Slept in my own bed last night. Vacations are nice, but home is better.

Finished re-re-re-re assembling the basket case:

Cast some balls for the basket case - and some more balls for my Frontier .54

Made a ham, egg, onion, cheese and spinach quiche - and then ate 2 slices with a little TX-TX Ghost sauce.

Hoisted a camera on a stick to see how many swallows eggs there are in the back porch nest.

After everything cooled down - I tidied up the casting table.

Then I sat down and browsed the forum.....

finished sewing the sleeve for my Mortimor Flinter. tried to stay cool. 104 in the shade here. unheard of.
old girl saw me put a long barreled gun in the sleeve. thought we were going grouse hunting. her days in the woods are over.
still need to decorate it and put closure system on it. and stain the off side fringe to match.

So far, not a @#$%^@& thing other than widen my [buttocks] sitting at this computer. It's 12:10 PM and it's already 95º outside, soon to be at least 101º. Having said that, I just reminded myself I have things to do or I'll never hear the end of it. Fortunately, inside.

 

[deerstalkert]

JamesA, you must be close to me. porch is 98 and my battery room is 90.

finished (for now) the sleeve with a closure on the flap. too hot to do anything more. need to find a stain to do the buckskin fringes to match the suede side. Maybe i will dye the fringes a different color? old brain is shutting down with this heat.

So far a very calm day.
Had homemade biscuits and gravy with a side of my Kielbasa hot pepper for breakfast.
Made a skillet of American Ghoul for lunch with a cold Zieg on the side.
I was thinking about casting a batch of .452 - 200g SWC-BB to beef up my stock of "other" stuff.
(Sorry - I had to strike that because it is not kosher here.)
However - I have been contemplating loading a batch of these into an 1858 New Model cylinder to see if they would fly - and they are all lead!
They may be just short enough to clear the cone while rotating but would have to be loaded out of the gun.

I’m fed up with lock-down. I have authority to buy two ‘new’ revolvers but can’t get to go and get them ndd,, what's worse the ranges are all closed.

I have powder, charges made up and, I’m getting in top of my domestic duties - sort of.........

I went out to the fettling shed while my wife was at the gym and

The mug of tea is a most essential piece of kit.

Another 200 .457 balls for my Rugers and another 100 .577 for my lovely Enfield.

What did anyone else do (shooting related - today)

I know those in the US have some day to go yet but here the sun will be gone in an hour.

Us in the USA are wondering that the heck is a "fettling"shed?

My local gun shop has a Lyman GPR used for $199. Don't know the caliber but it's perc. Just don't see too many of them on a sale rack around my parts.

I'm making a Windsor chair. I got the stiles made today. Spindles & the wing left to make along with a steam box for bending the top wing.

Waited on the AC repairman that didn't show. Luckily yesterday was 97 and a storm blew through and a cold front. Today was 78. While I was waiting for him I put together some range boxes and a great nap.
