I'll drop this in here first. I got the "year end" numbers from the local DEA office. Just over 830 arrests last year, only two arrested were citizens. Clearly a case of discrimination. :)
 
Wat I raised 4 millennials who can all drive standards, handle tractors and tobacco axes and they can drink unpasteurized milk and do all the basic tasks necessary for survival. I know not all can do, my eldest had to teach a college roommate how to bake from the box foods. But if there are 4, there are more and they can teach the others.

As for me, I am a child of the cold war. By the time I hit double digits I knew that if Armageddon came I would never survive it because there are too many targets in my region.

Lastly, I just made a fresh pot of coffee. My weekend has started.
 
Home - Wat's house. The one the cats live in. Got out good-n-early, and it was the first drive since The Prophet was a boy that was done with sunshine and clear skies. Thanks be to Allah. In for the night, I suppose. A hot shower looks wonderful.


Tomorrow will be busy running errands and waiting for sneaux.


I saw an ad for .410 AR uppers. It's not the receiver, so it can ship FedEx. It's intriguing, and no, I don't mean the former Lit drama queen. It looks like it might make sense, in a close-in situation. I may have to look for some reviews on it.


I see you lads have drawn the Lit Intelligentsia. Amazing. No, wait, st000pifying . . . . :rolleyes:

Junior is quite adept at a whole lot of things, some of which I taught him and some he figured out on his own, like I did. I'd like to take credit for the whole ball of wax, but that would be arrogant.


I think I've said it before, but I want to be like him when I grow up.


 
Junior has had an amazing life thus far. I am sure Dad helped a little.

I wish for snow but we are at -28. Time to nest.

I can also drive a standard.

I made a mistake up in your neck of the woods once. Oh well, I get to chalk it up to . . . posterior. ;)



A .410 upper? Hmmm, I'll have to look into that as well. Intriguing.


Exactly. It said it doesn't work on a DPMS lower. Mine's a Mossberg.


I allow as how I'd call them first. Three bills and $18 per 15-round (plastic) mag.


 
I started looking into it a bit. All that I found were restricted to 2 1/2" loads and wouldn't feed reliably with large capacity mags or shells made by certain manufacturers. The shell issue isn't a show stopper, many firearms show sensitivity to certain manufacturers offerings. But the 2 1/2" and high capacity mag. issues have me pausing for further thought. Especially at the price asked.
 
Great!!!! What is it you got again?


Mossberg 590 A1, 18.5" barrel. And 250 rounds of #4. :D



I would like to see you in my neck of the woods. Miss you.


Yeah, or if you ever happened to wander south.


Don't do it and not tell me.


Miss, you, too . . . . :(


 
Good choice. I picked up an 870 Express not too long ago and I wish I'd of gotten the Mossy instead. The Express is NOT up to anywhere near the standard that my old Wingmaster is and the new Wingmasters are $800+ these days.

Oh, it shoots well enough but it was difficult to eject the steel base shells they sell these days. I ended up having to fabricate a honing rig and spent an hour honing the chamber with 000 steel wool.
 
I didn't bother to jump start the car so I walked to a different Mexican food restaurant today ate there and walked home. When I walk in I was the only one it was a marisco themed one. Had a couple of fish tacos and a shrimp one. The shrimp was pretty good the fish was marginal. The beans were probably out of a can and the rice was not great and had a can of veg all thrown in it. I hate that version.

Then I got the bright idea to walk some distance the other direction to a purveyor of crap to buy a charger for the battery. Walked home found that the $57 highfalutin battery charger didn't work or at least it didn't want to turn on because it didn't want to acknowledge that I had it on a battery.

Walked all the way back in a snit got my money back, bought an old school $6 trickle charger will see what that does overnight. I passed a quality auto parts store I should have just bought the charger there when I went for Mexican.

I figure I walked about 6 miles, total. That's about 5 miles more than I am in any kind of condition to walk. Part of the return the charger trip was a jog, so I am going to be well and truly crippled tomorrow.

Fortunately, pain is weakness leaving the body.

I really need to get in some sort of shape. There was a time when 5 miles was just what I might jog to work up an appetite for breakfast. Being mobile under one's own power seems to be kind of a de minimis requirement for post-apocalyptic zombie survival.
 
Happy Saturday!!!


I might shoulda bought a 20 gauge. Maybe next time. I don't want to add too damn many more calibres to my concoction of shootin' irons, but a well-chosen one . . . well, could be just what Dr. Wat ordered.


Wat gets lotsa walkabout on the jobsite. Yesterday was done with cold feetses. That part sucks the worst. The new hip tingles in the cold. It produces the occasional burning sensation, too. Fortunately, walking about helps keep everything limber enough, because driving kidneys way back when - didn't.


The current weekend weather "prediction": less sneaux and more ice. :rolleyes:

I have a .20 gauge. Can't say that I use it much, but it reaches out and touches skeet better than my .12...

Then again, my .12 has a much shorter barrel on it. Good for clearing a crowd, shooting birds, not so much, but it will do a number on a tree.

:D :D :D
 
Can't have enough guns. All calibres, shapes, sizes, purposes, types . . . and needs for storage space.


Which reminds me, I still need to buy a scope for the one (and sight it in), rebarrel the next one, get the revolver back on track . . . world without end, amen.


Tomorrow.


There's always tomorrow . . . .

 
That's on the side of my Ibuprofen bottle.

My ibuprofen bottle is in my daily driver I did not get back.

Anyone any good at battery math. Should I try the battery that's been on a 2 Amp trickle charger for about since I started complaining about my aching legs? I'm thinking no.

I'm pretty sure I'm still going to have to jump start it in the morning but I don't think it's going to be quite as anemic when I do jump start it is what I'm hoping.
 
My Wingmaster is a 20. I love the damn thing, late 60's manufacture, light as a feather and has NEVER given me any problems. At the Trap line I can hang with the 12's until the 23 yd. line. And it's killer on upland birds. The issue was the choke, it's fixed, and the fact that it's a 20 and with steel shot it's not very good for waterfowl.

Sooooooooo, I bought the Express for the 12 bore and the interchangeable chokes. A decent gun but it took some work to get it there.
