Good morning. 36f to 55f with possible moistures beginning in the next few hours. Sounds like temps will become more seasonal a day or so after this moisture event concludes.

Morning everybody.

Rains stopped so coffee is happening and feet have hit the floor. I don't recall the guessers calling for rain. Retirement let's me lay there listening to what I'm not interested in walking into
G'day gents

 

[JimBear]

Raining here as well. After a look look thru the binocs , it appears to be about .30” so far.


Picked up a new to me varmit/plinking shooter, High Standard Longhorn.

It has 2 cylinders, one for 22lr & one for 22mag.

Is that a double action that looks like a single action?

It originally belonged to my son-in- laws grandfather. My SIL’s father offered it to me & I agreed without laying eyes in it.

I has more wear on the the blueing than what I thought was described but I should of eyeballed it first.

The funds are going to my SIL’s grandmother anyway.

I have always been a little leery of my SIL’s father about offering up things. A couple years ago he wanted to “bless” us ( yes his words ) with some deer meat that was taken from a hunting ground that I got permission for them to use. It was marked as being cut up 2 years prior, basically he was cleaning out the freezer to make room for the current stuff.

The dogs had deer loins for supper for a couple nights.

I digress, the High Standard should be fun to shoot, maybe I can find a place to mount a holster in the tractor & carry it in there.

Should be a fun piece.

I keep thinking I need a 22 single action of some kind, my only complaint is they just feel kinda odd not having any recoil....I most generally miss my target with handguns, so I like some decent recoil as it makes me feel like something happened anyways.

I need to clean my grill mats, but we did a little freezer cleaning out today. Last of the ones in the freezer until tomorrow.

I had one of them I coon hunted with it was pretty accurate.been thinking about getting another one.

I was at the local Deere dealer today to get a couple replacement sockets for my box & saw they had a couple of the loaded 36” triangle boxes sitting out.

I was pondering getting one for my son but after being told the price, he can buy his own.

Around $2700, I paid about $1400 for mine in 20 or 21, I am still kicking myself for not buying one in 18 or 19 for $900.

A 3 piece set of fully hardened roller head pry bars with pointed ends was $230, I told him he had the wrong part #. I can get partially hardened set for like $50 but I have seen those crap the bed pretty quickly.

An equivalent set thru snap-on is around $300. I will check out Napa’s prices.

A few years ago I picked up a Heritage revolver from, of all places, a hardware store in Branson. They had a 4 foot section with a few handguns in it. 22 long rifle and 22 magnum interchangeable cylinders. Single action. I usually take it and a few 22 rifles with me when we go visit Rebekah and the kids. The boys are always wanting to do some plinking. James has a Henry lever action 22 that I’ve always admired so I had been wanting one since I saw his. Found one last year on sale at Bass Pro only it was a 22 magnum with octagonal barrel and bought it. When we were down there a few weeks ago (again out back plinking) he comes out with his latest acquisition. An AR15. Now he’s got me wanting one of those, too.

It finally quit raining here yesterday. The cooler weather is nice; getting dark at 5:30, not so much. Carry on with your farming, hunting, milling, shooting, fishing, mechanicing, and cutting wood.
