Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
The lefties on my fiber arts board have bought into the rumor that baby #5 is not hers, but rather her oldest daughter’s. They claim to have a timeline all worked out and photos showing a bit of tummy pudge on the girl. Can a public official fake a pregnancy in this day and age? Why would a public official risk even trying? Ack! Leftist freaks.
What’s even more disgusting is the lefties who are celebrating a killer storm bearing down on the Gulf Coast again as the Republican convention is ready to begin. Michael Moore, a former party chair and lefties all over the blogs.
So does that mean the lefties are rooting *for* global warming? I’m sooooo comfuzed.
But I'm still waiting for the RNC to call and ask what I think.
Morning Winmag - nice job on the forend. I like the look alike digicamo look. Harris Bipod? Looks like you’re all set.
A SigSauer P-226 Conversion kit for .22lr followed me home. Did a runthrough last weekend and found it to be quite acceptable. It’s not without its share of teething problems, mainly being the slide not locking back after the last shot and the firing pin hitting the rim of the chamber and in a only a few rounds it can be peened over and that’s the start of the permanent FTEs. So the drill is one snap cap in the magazine right off the bat and then load your 9 or 14 rounds of CCI mini-mag and you’re good to go. Second teething problem is the apparent incompatibility of the conversion kit to pre-1989 models of the 226. The factory doesn’t have either of those ‘warnings’ anware in the literature or on the website. Still all in all I’m satisfied with what it can do and I like shooting it, ‘nuff said.
Good Morning - Had a long walk last night and a similar one this morning. Overtaxed, LSA and I had a spur of the moment mini-moot last night. We rendevoused at JackStax and proceed to do serious damage to a big plate of lamb ribs. We toasted to all who couldn’t be there with us and figured up the last time we were there for dinner was with you guys last summer. Where the heck did the time go.
Well, this ain’t gettin’ it done. But in other newzz..Some more prep work for the painters who are showing up wednesday. Although the paint had faded, it hadn’t peeled so were going with the same painter again. He’s an older fella has an assistant and that’s what he does, paint houses.
OB, dear,
he's younger than we are :)
LSA
Mmmmm......lamb ribs.....
For today I’ve got the lamb rib option, steak, hamburger, or short ribs for thegrill.
Decisions, decisions!
Heh... funny LSA!
Good morning. We made progress yesterday getting things organized for the garage sale. NOW we’re ready. We needed that. If the weather’s good, we’ll do it next weekend.
It just screams desperation that they have to stoop to such extremes to find ways to attack her. I mean...it’s preposterous.
If that’s really all they can manage, they must be hurting.
They’re just jealous that their veep pick is so dull.
I'm getting an updraft from the compost pile.
Maybe the photos don't show it well, but that's just gentle crimp into the bullet cannelure, just like reloading dies can do. Match ammo just has a friction fit, but these rounds are designed for abuse in MGs and rifles. The rounds are NATO-spec, and marked so. I had no problem at all with them in the M1A, but I know they're not up to match standards, and were never intended to be.
I have antique ammo with the case mouth staked to the bullet, and some with a three-piece horizontal crimp at the case mouth. That had to take a special crimping die.
"All set" in the sense of having all the pieces. Not "all set" because I still have to lap the scope rings, mount the scope, and set everything up. At the rate things are going, that might turn into a winter project.
Whoa...did they call you?

Heh...cute! Did that get posted on your yarn board?
Speaking of which...I have two nieces on the way! I should make ‘em each *something*, though likely I’ll cop out and use this one again:

It’s kind of thick unless you use lighter weight yarn, but a nice size for packing around. I’d need some nice colors, though. Mmm...excuses....
