What did YOU do today?

["Risky Bizness"]

Today, I re-inforced a steel shop door for the dealership, and painted it. Will re-install it tomorrow.

So sorry about your Mom passing. In my prayers.

But I have to say, she sounds like my kind of woman. Why would you throw out all that stuff that you might use someday for something else?

Because it never actually gets used.

I’m not familiar. What wine would you recommend with that?

Update: Btw, I baited Steve Jr with some peanut butter in a clean tuna fish can, and a couple peanuts dribbled to lead him in. Now I hear him rubbing that tin can can back-and-forth across the side of the cage like James Cagney did and George Ralph did in the old gangster movies, running their metal cups back-and-forth on the jailhouse bars.

I don’t have an air gun powerful enough, but maybe I could make a shiv and get him in the shower…

I’m not much of a wine drinker so I dunno. I enjoyed a fine Pilsner beer with it.

They are apparently taunting you. They don’t think you have what it takes to get them evicted. They’ve also apparently been watching your movie choices…

I got one of the modern single-stroke break-barrel airguns awhile back. Supposedly around 1,000 FPS. Thats .22 Rimfire velocities. Pointed, hollow point, or ballistic tip pellets and no more live squirrel.

I've been going through the binder full of technician paperwork to make sure I have a copy saved before I shred the paper. I didn't do as well as I did with military papeerwork on saving it. Shame on me.

I have something similar. maybe even faster because it has a nasty loud crack. way too loud to use around neighbors.

Springer type airguns (break barrel and underlever mostly, underlever isn't common) have quite the twang no matter what, also recoil in both directions that tend to eat scopes... breaking the sound barrier with pellets actually hurts accuracy as pellets with the diabolo shape (waist in the middle) are designed for subsonic speeds so the 800-1000fps is pretty much the sweet spot for range and accuracy... Break barrels are also hard to shoot accurately in general with the torque of the spring and the dual recoil, a loose grip on the gun and follow through is necessary. For attic work a cheap Crosman 1377 or Daisy 880 are perfectly capable. I have cheap and fancy, I go for the fancy ones for my pesting uses because I have them and they are better but I like and have most of the spectrum... heck there's 10 pellet guns to my right and three to my left right now... several in the top of the desk, some in the closet, probably a couple in the safe... I might have a problem... lol!

Did the shackle install on my truck and went to my neice's 18th birthday party

All that earlier and I forgot to type up what I did today? dang... I used to be more into pellet guns than I am now, still have them, kinda like RC airplanes and stuff, been too busy for a while, hoping to get back into both more or at least a little more of each...

Anyway today I took in the scrap from the camper I tore apart over the last month and turns out it's not how to be a millionaire! Between the 50lb stove and all the sheeting I got a whopping $29, you only get paid there for the ferrous metal so I got $2.48ish in cash and a check for the rest that will come in the mail next week... would have been more if the aluminum would have been clean but I wasn't going to pull all the rusty staples and screws and scrape off all the butyl tape... would have been hours of work for $10.

After that I went to a farm store that's going out of business, 10% off so I got some stuff that would be handy for a little below retail like a gallon of acetone, couple gallons of mineral spirits, 3 bags of smoker pellets, some 12ga ammo, Georgia Romeos since it's about time to replace my good pair and a trenching shovel... I might stop by Wednesday after thinking on things more...

Oh and my brother called and wanted me to go with when he looked at a tractor... he ended up getting it so I spent an hour driving his car at 18mph with the flashers on following to his place... It's a mid '70's John Deere 90ish horsepower unit, spendy but I think worth it, everything oddly works other than the A/C but there's no windows anymore so who cares... and no lights but that also doesn't matter...

I've done a lot of aluminum scrapping. In your situation just cut the thin strip of glue and staples off and make a separate pile.

I made tacos for dinner. I decided to try Spanglish Asadero taco seasoning. The tacos turned out very good.

That would be reasonable, could have done that for sure, didn't think about it and would have probably doubled my return, oh well, this project is done though but next time...

Funny thing happened a bit ago, I had one of the bigger harbor freight magnetic parts trays with the plastic flap thing to hold stuff in while on it's side that had fallen and broken, it had oil on the plastic so I sprayed it with acetone to degrease... well that melted the plastic! I don't have a whole lot of experience with acetone yet but found that odd... I mean I was going to glue it back together with a MEK based model glue which did work, didn't realize acetone broke down abs...
