not so pros

Doing alright. Waiting for the weather to finally break.

Seems like .31-.35¢/Rd is the new norm.

SGAmmo is my first choice, PSA is second although shipping can be sketchy from them at times.

I've read a fair amount that PMC 223/556 is high flash stuff.

It's great training ammo, reloads like a dream. I keep a Hornady load for self defense.

It's amazing to me just how much heavy equipment some of you fellas have...backhoes, trackhoes, bulldozers, big tractors, even as simple as trucks with plows, etc. Heaviest chit I got is a couple of riding mowers, lol. I don't see how y'all can afford the breakdowns and wear and tear on stuff like that...it damn sure can't be cheap, even a short hydraulic hose that has to be made up, gotta cost $100 at least, and that's probably an understatement guess there. I'm sure some hydraulic hoses based on diameter, are into the hundreds of dollars. How about the tires on equipment like that? They ain't giving them f'rs away either. Righto? And God forbid an engine problem!

Some of you fellas must be making a wheelbarrow of loot everyday. I understand the timely, periodic maintenance on your own equipment, trust me, it's the only way I survive without any major f ups...but damn. A single tire purchase on some of that chit would mess me up real bad, If I could even afford it from the get go.

I live tighter than dicks' hatband now getting my daughter through college, and she's just a Freshman. I thought before she went to college I was a little Rockefeller, lol, living single, buying what I wanted within reason...I was just fooling my ol' former Jarhead self...she showed me real quick...I ain't nothing but a Littlefeller.

I wouldn't have it no other way my brothers. I want her, like my Navy son, to blow the doors off my ol' ass.

I know C-17 GlobeMasters III's, C-5 Galaxies, C-130 Hercules, F-15/C Strike Eagles, A-6/E Intruders, EA/6-B Prowlers, AV/8-B Harrier II's...flight controls/avionics/electrical like the back of my hand. It's just my niche...but it's where I'm best at on this planet.

Truth be known, I'd probably *b-word like a whining ass woman if I had a backhoe, piece of heavy equipment, that didn't do what it was designed to do. I'd sit back and look at it for damn sure, then try to figure how I could scrape the coin together to fix the f' up.

Hey Dallas...doing good. Piddling around with the Traeger smoker with a couple whole chickens, sampling another apple/maple mix pellet. See how they turn out. I'll pull them shortly. You enjoy the chainsaw cutting today?

Evening Dallas, I have a question and I'm being serious here, do you really find it easier to work on Stihl's or just like 'em better. After the flippy cap incident today, I'm at my whits end with them. Seems for whatever reason I have no where near the trouble working on Husqvarna's vs the Stihl's. I'm trying to keep an open mind here, but damn if they ain't making it tough for me.

Evening fellas. How'd everybody's Saturday go?

Tranny cooler could be plugged. That'll cause it to overheat. It happened to our '04 and smoked the transmission. Mechanic friend of mine that replaced it for me said it was common and he has repaired several.
