I did more modifications on my swinging plate. Forgot to take pictures. Put my shop press to good use squashing the legs to attach to 2×4 tighter. More gong swing less stand gyrations!

I've been catching up on with what's been going on the forum. I've been away from the computer for about week recovering from heart surgery. I'm not to lift over 5 lbs. for a month, this will limit my shop time, so I will be spending more time on the ML forum
.

Been there. Pay attention to your doctor and therapist. You will heal and be able to do things you wish.. I've had three heart surgeries including bypasses. That was 8 years ago and I am 90. Look toward your future without fear.

I am impressed sir! My Dad will be 91 come September and still going strong!

Six months older than me, congratulations ... ... maybe I'll get there .. who knows. Dale

By the way Dale, that's my Dad's name too! The years are clicking by like miles on an odometer at 200 mph. Scary fast!

Ringing steel at the range with my Frontier flintlock. It seems to really like GOEX 2fg powder as main and pan charge. Better than Schutzen 3fg.

Hands on the clock turn like a fan as you get older.

 

[BigAl52]

Just wait till you retire my friend

After ringing some steel the wind was starting to pick up but I did get these 3 off before it really got howling. 50 yds off hand.

Last night jackdaw came to Joan to say goodbye then walked into hall and dropped down dead. Poor little thing. She was eating very well and running around. Took to climbing stairs and then flying down. Must admit I shed a few tears. Found a nice spot and buried her. I do get attached to animals. But now we can have the patio doors open. It’s stinking hot. And as to previous comments on my little green pool. It’s ain’t no longer green

These guys make good company

Continuing work on my Kibler SMR…sat on the deck early this morning, great time to get some Kit work completed.

By Wednesday, I should be in a position to start staining the stock…

Our Walmart didn’t have any percussion caps, so I came home and made these.

Hmmmm? I'm sure Ford appreciated the cover. I wonder how much Ford paid Tennesse Wildlife?

 

[user 49399]

Made another 60 grain, wooden powder measure. Back woods, primitive

Orrrr do Tennessee game wardens drive ford trucks? Did the department get a break on a new truck or two or three for the free advertising?

Doesn't look like an agency truck. Too fancy. Most government agencies go by a bid system.

As to black powder stuff, went by Lowes & got some hardware to build some portable target stands.
