We got blasted with snow. Gone now but left a mess! Snow detail first thing today....

Ehh no - it's a 'Peaky Blinders' style American Baker Boy hat - without flaps or aerlorons - or even a tailplane -

Speaking of Peaky Blinders is it true you met the real James Bond?

I remember seeing something you replaced the nipple with and ran a co2 to blow out the ball.
I have 2 50cal Hawkens and a spring field 1862/ repro

I use a grease fitting and grease them out if dry balled or pop the nipples and fill behind with powder if there's space.

My Mia would get on top oof my head wearing a base ball cap.
Was so funny having her stand on the brim and look at me.
She also Chews the shit of any top button right off!
My Mia is a Sun Conure

Jeez - you must have a light wife - my wife weighs 45kilos now - so I've asked her to be very careful when she sits on my head -

Depending on the read I like to drink my coffee slow ,( depending on the read) ( safer that way)
Coffee gets cold. I decide to buy a 24 ox soup thermos for mine coffee to keep warm.
The dam thing keeps it hot. hot as Subie playin "Purple Haze" on her electric ukulele

You may want to upgrade to one of those fancy Yette ones for a bit more heat.

The last time a Category 5 hit was in the year 1900. Yup.

Nope. Michael in 2018

Hurricane Michael upgraded to a Category 5 at time of U.S. landfall

Post-storm analysis estimates sustained winds of 160 mph

www.noaa.gov

It does not have to be a Category 5 hurricane to cause incredible damage. I think you may have overlooked the panhandle in your assessment. Ivan, Opal and Sally were Category 3 storms that did major damage. Ian, Irma and Charley came in at Category 4 wiping out homes and businesses.


I hate hurricane season. It only takes one to ruin one's day.

Ehhh - let's put it this way - and take it as you may - I haven't signed the official secrets act - yet - and don't intend to either -

Who is the real James Bond?

I was wondering how long you could leave them loaded before shooting them. Say I had one loaded up in the coat closet by the front door for say two or three years “just in case”. Would it still fire ok after sitting up for that long? Seems like a fresh pack would be better for some reason…

As long as the powder stays dry and the cap is good it will go bang.

There is only one one.....rest are fake

Maybe better find one with ear flaps. His ears get cold in the winter…

This is the 555g conical my hawg gun shoots:

While we are on the subject, here is the photo signed with a note from President Bush Sr. that arrived in my mail in a White House franked envelope while I was recovering from my owie.

This was back when he was still a hero of mine and I did not know of his treason, so at the time I was quite impressed that he:

A. Knew of me
B. Gave a shit

It no longer hangs on my wall. I am saving it for when Antiques Roadshow comes to South Floriduh and invites me.

@jokerman -- It's an April Fool's spoof. Check the article's respondents.

Not an April Fools joke. https://firearmwiki.com/wiki/.17_Incinerator

My Mia"S little ass is getting bigger.

Hot enough for me like, slow dancing in the summer.

Shaving that ring of lead is desired as it assures A tight fit sealing the chamber preventing chain fires and increasing pressure.

True dat. But there are 3 sizes of .44's... and the largest size is simply too large for the reproduction .44.

My Bro makes Tavern Puzzles for over 40 years and has a formal letter of defeat signed by the president for not being able to figure it out.

That’s funny. But yes I have ukulee concerts for my plants all the time. They love it. I sing to them too. My voice is not so good but is good enough for them

Arlo's a pretty good dog with musical talent.

And a cute little hiney that books were written about and songs sung to

A whole DOUBLE album of songs.

I regularly leave BP revolvers loaded for extended periods of time and never had one fail to fire.
Grease over the balls or conicals and properly fitting caps make for a fairly tight seal.
We've been playing around with them for a few years but not as long as walt.
Immediately clean in soapy water after firing or corrosion will wreck your gun.

Black powder is not corrosive dry, but can become so with moisture. The bad actor is typically the primers.

I washed my 50 BMG in hot soapy water after shooting surplus military ammunition with smokeless powder and corrosive mercury fulminate primers.
