Yikes! MERCURY RETROGRADE is bumping up against all sorts of things this week. First of all, it lines up between those of us living on Earth and the sun, resulting in all sorts of domestic chaos. At the same time, it’s teaming up with Venus in Cancer, so expect changes in your love life, and be prepared for any secrets you’ve been trying to hide wrt sex to be disclosed. Also chest colds and pectoral strains. Mars in Leo brings power struggles, fights with your boss and even moreso if you are the boss. don’t expect for other people to maintain their cool while all of this is happening — the moon is in Pisces, which indicates that this would be a good time to get away from people and go fishing. Be careful while doing that however, MERCURY RETROGRADE and fishhooks can be a nasty combination.
Odd week in the cards. Extremely eventful, but nothing much resolved.

Despite the consistent abuse portended by the stars, I booked my lowest golf handicap ever yesterday. As long as Capricorn continues to be wrong, this horoscope means I might take another stroke off this week !
In need to look up last week’s horoscope again, because the week itself was a doozy

Double typo. I recommend a drink.
I forget: is this your original screenname, since recovered ?
She’s also Roadsplosives for traveling, IIRC
Yeah ‘tis true, but I did recover the password for this one so now I’m Jayek on travel too
Hi Jayek!
A little while ago there was a flap over a Bible at a display in a Manchester, NH VA hospital. The veteran that donated the Bible tells his story. It’s interesting.
What the hell is wrong with people?
Hmmm …. first amendment.
That must be the right to remain unexposed to new and different ideas and religious brliefs.
Silly me!!
And the typos keep on rolling in..
You gotta keep your tax payments up or the alphabet police will start restricting use of the “prime” letters.
You live in Cali so you KNOW that is a possibility.
You mean there are things California doesn’t tax?
No, silly Man, all is Tax, all for the State!
Keep it up! You’re doing great. You’ve done enough so far that Ted May have a small stroke.
Jeebus. Displaying a bible in an exhibit is a violation of the 1A? The derp is strong in some.
I’m not sure how that equates to “Congress shall make no law establishing a religion”.
If the government funded and maintained exhibit says “An American POW carried this book of true faith that you should follow.” 1A violation.
If the exhibit says “This bible was carried by an American POW.” No 1A violation. It is no different than, “This shaver was carried by an American POW”
he carried a family bible in combat ?
Yeah, it’s not as if there were maps of Belgium stitched in the covers.
I”m just asking a practical question. If he carried it in combat, it’s a legitimate artifact. If it’s something laying around the house that via his veteran status he gets to display, are we happy with any veteran tossing any random Koran into the display because whatever?
I’m supporting your point. It has no relevance to POWs except a nebulously defined “faith”.
But the phrase “100-year old WWII vet” gets the cons right in the feels they claim never impact FACTS and LOGIC.
My memory is vague. I could be remembering this incorrectly, but I think he did carry it with him. There was an article mentioning why he donated the Bible but I can’t find it and the mobile version of the article doesn’t include related links (the desktop version did)
Noting in the story suggests he carried the bible, in fact sounds like he couldn’t have seeing the size of it and what he went through.
also
The prisoners even managed to make a radio so they could listen to news from the BBC, hiding it in a hollowed-out table leg. And that’s how they knew the Allied forces were gaining the upper hand. The Germans suspected the American prisoners were getting news from somewhere, and although they searched for the radio, “they never found it,” he said.
I think the old geezer is confusing Hogan’s Heroes reruns with his lived expieriences.
I know there is nothing in the article I linked about whether or not he carried it. I did read the article I linked.
There was an earlier article from when the flap started which said why he donated the Bible. That’s the article I was thinking of. I think it was linkex on the desktop version but is not on the mobile version.
POWs making radios was fairly common in the camps. Numerous accounts mention them. After all you had technically trained people (including radiomen) with lots of time on their hands and a great deal of interest. I have never read of a POW transmitter, but a receiver was easy to make,
Well…Congress did pass a law when it funded the VA. Whether funding the display of a bible is the same as establishing a religion, I’m not sure. I can see both sides.
BUT…
If the determination is that it is, wouldn’t the soldier carrying the bible during the performance of his official duties also be an establishment of religion?
One man pretended he was ill, and the other two offered to wait with him for the next “kranken-wagen,” the wagons used to carry sick prisoners. When the line moved on, “the three of us picked our gear up and ran into the woods.”
Jumps to mind
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

I’ve argued before that there is nothing necessarily freedom-loving about conservatism. The petty and authoritarian urges of Republican southerners were the only thing that kept me from easily and naturally growing a Republican sympathy, and so they continue to offend. Fuck off, neighbor: fuck off, slaver.

I was ordained by The Universal Life Church back before the Web existed; had to send in a SASE and everything. Also, I’m pretty sure I’ve collected enough Bobbies’ souls to guarantee me a seat on the rockets to Greenhelle when X-Day arrives.

Looks like a good week to start a neighborhood watch group.

Two pork bellies going in the smoker in a bit. One to be pepper bacon and the other is slathered with a jalapeno puree. I only had them rest in the fridge a day and a half though. I forgot about that step and today is the only day I am going to have a chance to smoke them this week so in they go.
Given that they’re not cured, make sure you get to an internal temp of 140 in four hours.
Oh they are cured. Been vacuum bagged in the fridge with cure mix for two weeks as per your article.
Gotcha! I misread your original post.
These were the first full bellies I have ever got so I trimmed them up to a good sliced bacon length and made Pork Belly Burnt Ends with the trimmings a few weeks ago. I highly recommend that if you’ve never tried it.
*insert Homer drooling gif*
Yummy.
Jesus, man. Take it easy on the Capricorns once in a while.
I know, it really gets my goat.

Boom! We hit 100. Can it be tomorrow already?
Phaa! that was 2 hours ago, now it’s 105 and rising, but I’m told it’s a dry heat…….
Up here in the Catskills it’s “only” 92.
I think we’re upper 90s. I’m waiting for the Sun to go down a bit so I can do a little yard work.
It was 80 at 3500′ at 11:30, 90 at 2000′ at 12:30 and 100 at 700′ at 1:30.
Should’ve stayed in the mountains.

For those of you who want to hear Hayeksplosivem harrowing tale of her last few days, gather ‘round.
For all others, the ones who prefer to think of Splosives as-healthy-as-a-horse, or as mythical, scroll on past.
Preface, over 10 years ago, when I was about to turn 32, I was in public, serving as head teller during a political convention nominating vote count on a Saturday. (This was in Minnesota). We had finished, and I was walking toward the Secretary and Treasurer to hand over the vote tallies and envelopes of ballots when the next thing I knew, I was fighting off a paramedic in the back of an ambulance.
I immediately relaxed. Dialog:
Paramedic: “You’re ok”
Me: “.Ok”
Paramedic: “I’m here to help, OK?”
Me: “OK”
Paramedic: “You had a seizure, Ok?”
Me: “OK…NOT OK!!”
They took me to the ER where they checked blood, etc. then a CT to look for tumors or other immediate threats. Everything was fine, so they set up an MRI for Monday and an EEG for Tuesday. Thursday afternoon the neurologist called and told me I had “epileptiform” spikes in the left temporal lobe, and I should pick up a prescription (rather, have someone else pick it up since I couldn’t drive til I was seizure-free for 6 months.
Fast forward over 10 years with nary a problem, faithfully taking my meds.
Last Thursday at work, I had a normal morning, skipped lunch, and then had a stressful meeting in which a direct report berated me for giving him a poor review for last year. He left, and I was organizing files when, once again, here I am in an ambulance with a paramedic filling me in.
Only this time, I’ve landed so hard on my back (in a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, aka grand mal) the body goes stiff as a board, you fall straight back, and then convulsions start), I hit the ground so hard with no give that I fractured 2 vertebrae.
To add to the fun, I had another one at the ER that the doctor witnessed. It lasted 5 minutes. Any longer than that and they intervene. So they injected me full of anti seizure stuff and admitted me to a hospital that is in-network for me.
I’m home now, and my brain is as good as it was before, but my spine and hips are excruciatingly painful.
To top it off, I can’t drive until the neurologist says “ok.”
Sigh
Sorry. I hope your fractures heal soon and you can get back to driving soon.
Thanks, DEG. I know plenty of people have it worse than I do so I should e thanking my lucky stars.
The seizure isn’t affecting your spelling, is it?
It can! Lol.
But the fact I’m lying on my side with one eye open is the main issue there.
hang in there and thanks for sharing
so much of life is a crapshoot, and such stories help me appreciate others’ challenges and my own luck
Anytime. I need someone to talk to and you are the least judgmental bunch I know
HAH!
Now I got beer up my nose…
I have to up my game and get judgier.
Dang Hayek. I am trusting that you heal on time and to 100% .
Thanks. We met just in time to have a nice drama-free dinner 🙂
Except for CPRM, right? 😉
Well, CPRM IS pretty judgy
Holy crap. Hope that goes back to where it has been for the last ten years. That sucks.
Yeah and this time it can stay there!!
Agreed, it should fuck right off back to wherever it’s been hiding.
Speedy healing!
Hoping you get things under control and get better. If it makes you feel better, for the un-initiated that have never witnessed a seizure, you likely scared the shit out of some people.
Yeah I think so. They sent me a lovely bouquet with a get well note.
It is probably meant as a “Please never do that to us again!” 🙂
I am so sorry to hear that. Here’s to hoping that was your last episode like that.
Having health problems is a real son-of-a-bitch. It really fucks up your life, or more like takes it over. Unfortunately as we get older the fun only gets better.
Thanks. Ain’t that the truth.
One of the reasons I do splurge a bit here and there; I don’t want to have a pile of gold coins and a wheelchair from which to admire them with no memories of having had any adventures when I was healthy enough to do so
I am terribly sorry to hear that. I hope they can get this under control and you can get back on the road soon.
Thanks.
My Tesla is going to miss me.
Wow, I hope they get them under control soon.
You and me both, sistah. They did increase the dose and I have follow up appointments.
I think i failed to convey to them just how bad my back is though. I’m going to make an ortho appointment and hope for an MRI.
Holy Moly. That’s scary.
Seventh grade to girl sitting in front of me (I had a huge crush on her) had a seizure. She stood up turned around and froze. Her eyes wide wide open, her face contorted and she was pointing at me with a crooked finger.
The teacher had been told beforehand and knew what to do.
After the excitement we got a lesson in epilesey. When she came back to class we all treated her like everything was cool. She remembered nothing of course.
I can see why people would think epileptics evil. Had she said to me “You are a toad!” I would have believed her. Not knowing what was happening it was frightening.
The teacher said he probably should of told us before just in case there was a seizure, but they were afraid we’d treat her baldly and we proved him wrong.
Hope you’re back to what passes for normal soon!
Hope you’re back to what passes for normal soon!
Coming from this crowd, that has the ring of may you live in interesting times.
Ugh, that sounds horrible. Sorry to hear that.
Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Thanks, dude. Doing my bit.
Obviously, this is the fault of the direct report that isn’t pulling their weight and are trying to eliminate the evidence.
You want we should whack ’em?
*gets in line*
It would be less complicated than going forward with the firing ritual at my workplace
Prayers and best wishes, lady. That really sucks. I blame it on moving to Cali.
Possibly the EMF from the Tesla.
after Hayeks tale, I almost feel guilty but, New Mexico beer!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/71uJFXEsuagu9GuW9
Santa Fe brewing, not bad, but not hoppy at all,
Hey YUFUS!
You know what to do!
Nice!
Toss away your guilt! After I finish this chicken soup (did I mention my teeth shredded my tongue? “Just the tip” in the office, but split down the side in the ER. They collected over a pint of blood from my mouth in the ER), I plan to have a nice wine cooler.
Oh, Hayek! I’m so sorry to hear that (the condition in general but, particularly, the tongue thing; that really sucks). If I may be so bold, does your job involve access to liquid nitrogen? Or, if not, is there a TRI-GAS or similar vendor near you? My SiL uses it to make instant ice cream for her catering biz and it is cold enough to freeze alcohol so a Bourbon slushie sounds like just the RX for you.
Sounds highly tempting
did you hope that Title IX perversions were at an end ?
The family’s attorneys contend the university has failed to protect male students in Greek life in the same way it had with women in sororities.
I never understood fraternities at any level, but if a bunch of guys want to live together and drink all day, you’d think they would just do so, off campus, with as little university oversight, control, or review as possible.
I also don’t assert responsibility for stupid shit to anyone other than the person who voluntarily did it.
This case is a lasagna of stupidity.
I’ll add my vote to the “never understood frats” thing.
Two things:
1) this case will go nowhere. Theres an implied “benefitting women” written into every provision of Title IX.
2) notwithstanding point 1), this is how you destroy the system. You expose the aspects that require handicapping women.
Ditto with playing organized sports, or doing anything else other than going to class and studying.
College as we know it needs to go the way of the dinosaurs.
” playing organized sports,”
If I was boss of high schools organized sports would be played in private organizations and not with tax payer money. Sports clubs would emerge, kids would play, parents would assume financial responsibility and personal responsibility. Pop Warner football, Industrial leagues, Little League and sandlots.
My school had *maybe* 2% fraternity membership, but it was in a large city with lots to do. I can see joining at a small school in the middle of nowhere.
I did play a sport so that served as a quasi-fraternity, complete with our ‘hazing’ when all the rookies had the monstrous task of having to clean up after practice.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/portland-considers-antimask-law-aimed-at-antifa-violence/ar-AAEvBOh
Well, anything to make the police happy
This is a tricky line, because clearly the mask is being worn to prevent identification, which makes it substantially more difficult to prosecute people who commit crimes. Making the wearing of a mask itself a crime creates yet another excuse for police to fuck with people, and for a theoretical tyrannical government to suppress dissent. But not making it a crime leads to situations where dissent can just as well be surprised, this time by thugs in masks. Not to mention the risk of agents provacateur going unidentified, whether they be from the government or other factions.
I think that, unlike in the case of pseudonymity and anonymity in the press, the need to control violence outweighs the “right” to privacy in a public assembly. But I admit that taking such a position does not leave me feeling thrilled.
+1Skokie and the Kkk
I can’t see the ACLU of today taking that case.
I’m against the masks more from the ability of “the people” to identify the protestors than I give a shit about the government’s ability to identify and charge them.
I am tempted to agree but thinking about it I believe this is where we get in trouble. Anger and frustration with a very unsympathetic target. Ski masks exist for a reason and it isn’t street thugs or hold-up artists. People wearing them for their intended purposes will end up being prosecuted. Next you know someone wearing a low hanging hat will get busted. What about hijabs?
You have one target you are aiming for buy the law isn’t a rifle. It’s a damned shotgun.
How about motorcycle helmets?. Will riders be required to remove their helmets before dismounting their bikes? Otherwise simply standing next to your bike for half a second after dismounting with the helmet on would be an infraction of the law and you know some cops are going to take advantage of that.
But if you take the helmet off before climbing off, you’re riding a cycle without a helmet. You must thereofre remove the helmet in the same movement as you dismount or suffer fines.
Ah. The one foot rule.
Well, I made the statement in the scope of a public assembly. But that is a pretty blurry line, and even in that context you bring up some valuable counterexamples. Somebody going to 7-Eleven on their bike wouldn’t need to worry, but what about somebody participating in Rolling Thunder? And ditto a Muslim. Going to the mosque isn’t assembly, but once you’re there? Maybe you could call that a private assembly, but that still leaves protests and activism.
For what it’s worth, the proposed Portland law is about “outlawing the wearing of a mask to commit a crime or escape identification in the commission of a crime” so there has to be an underlying crime first. However, like not wearing a seatbelt as a “secondary offense”, I don’t know how much protection that qualification would afford in practice (or, conversely, how effective the law would be if you have to wait to witness a crime before unmasking someone).
You are correct. Everywhere I am aware of now treats seat belt infractions as primary offenses.
In the past prosecuting the underlying crime has been effective. The problem they are having in Portland is that the underlying crimes are not being prosecuted. The cops are just standing down. This new law will make no difference.
Start cracking some Antifa skulls and tossing their asses in jail and this nonsense will end. Ordinary citizens arming themselves and shooting a few of the little shits would be effective as well. The only reason Antifa punks are behaving the way they are is because they know they can get away with it.
I think that being armed makes a lot of sense for dealing with one-off encounters. But in a fracas, the only thing a gun is going to be good for is getting bystanders hurt. I agree wholeheartedly though that the police are failing in what little duty they legally have. The city government is ultimately responsible, but it remains to be seen if they’ll face any consequences.
The city government is firmly on the side of antifa – that’s why they’re not doing anything to stop this.
Ordinary citizens arming themselves and shooting a few of the little shits would be effective as well
Ordinary citizens in Portlandia are largely sympathetic to Protifa in general if not in specifics. This is just the latest ratchet in allowing protests to run free. They should have used fire hoses and billy clubs on those shutting down freeways three years ago. Hell, they should have used a fire hose on Tre Arrow twenty years ago.
Increase, felicity, beauty, embellishment
Finally a positive one. But, idk. I’m skeptical, and cynical.
2) notwithstanding point 1), this is how you destroy the system. You expose the aspects that require handicapping women.
You and your whataboutisms.
Nooses? We can’t let those racists in
Federal inspectors visiting a California migrant detention center made a shocking discovery last year: Detainees had made nooses from bedsheets in 15 of 20 cells in the facility they visited.
The inspection revealed the extent of a largely unseen mental health crisis within the growing population of migrants who are being held in detention centers in border states. President Donald Trump’s 2017 decision to reverse a policy that encouraged releasing vulnerable individuals while they await deportation hearings has left U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement unequipped to deal with conditions ranging from anxiety to schizophrenia.
One estimate puts the number of detainees with mental illnesses between 3,000 and 6,000. Some advocates and lawyers who work with migrants in the facilities say it’s probably more. Many of the migrants with mental illness are not stable enough to participate in their own legal proceedings, so they languish in detention.
While treatment of immigrants has become an explosive national issue, the plight of mentally ill migrants has scarcely registered.
My guess is those people were crazy before they got here.
Because it was better when we let the ones with mental illnesses out onto the street and made the locals deal with them.
Why not 50 or 60 or some other number you pull out of your ass?
Whut? Nooses in 15 out of 20 cells and no hangings? This is horseshit. They are using the sheets for some reason other than hanging themselves. They are probably hanging up their belongings or something. That is just nonsense. Maybe they were told that if they made a noose and played crazy they would be released sooner.
I would like to find out who is organizing this bullshit. I bet ten bucks it is someone on this side of the border, someone who is not a Trump voter.
So the right wing nut balls who have said they are doing a Mariel boat lift operation and emptying the asylums and prisons into the caravans are right?
Castro’s ghost gives a big double thumbs up.
Well. Last day of vacation for me. I haven’t had a vacation in decades.

The real test of a vacation is how long back at work before it’s like you never went. I found the time was depressingly short.

I just learned that California’s Prop 65 BS also include nickel. Does spare change in Cali carry the appropriate warnings?

You must now put a warning label on your dick.
The State of California contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects.

Check out La Posta for Mexican food. It’s totes delicious.
I ordered a Carnitas burrito from Santa Fe Grille yesterday, HUGE! and all Pork, no beans, cheese, salsa, nothing but some red sauce, Awesome Meat package, and only 3 bucks, I’ll check out la posta, When in Rome….
It seems Google doesn’t like the Spanish language, RACIST!!!!!
It might come up as “La Posta de Mesilla” but everyone calls it La Posta.
Oh yeah, that would make a trip back out to LC worthwhile.

When I would stay with them as a wee lad, I would awaken first so as to watch Batman on the television and get into the jar full of Oreo cookies. I didn’t really care for the cookie part so I would eat the fillin’ and give the cookies to the dog. Good times…
She has such interesting markings. Purty doggie!
Neat looking dog
I lost my Dubz about 5 years back, and said she was the best dog I ever had, until Bella. She is very smart, loving, stuck up (she prances for people)
and a great companion for the Wife and me, and RABBITS! hold on to that leash, cause 50 pounds of furry is coming your way!
The dog the ex and I had was one hell of a dog. Real smart and handsome and college women would flock over to pet him. I should have taken him after the breakup but he was better off staying with the ex and getting out to the country on a daily basis so he could run around. Damn. I miss him so much.
Naptime.
Your avatar should be of the beautiful Bella instead of your ugly mug! ?

Q! Hello!
LOL
for her type of dog, it really is, lots of well defined muscle,
Haha. I’m reminded of this.

Business plan question:
The executive summary is supposed to be a summary of the plan. But my answers for the majority of the plan are pretty short already and the “summaries” will practically be quotes in a few cases.
Do I:
1. Forget about the executive summary
2. Expand on the other sections in my business plan
I know this may be hard to answer without actually seeing my plan, but do your best. We’re all counting on you.
1. steal underpants
2.
3. profit
Furiously
masturbatestakes notes.Seriously, and executive summary, is a broad overview, no more than a vision, therefore worthless,
Keep the ES short and expand, in order and detail how your business plan will work, HOW is the money part

I’m sorry, I don’t speak English, Bloke?
Not in Trump’s America, oh and
FUCK YEAH!
I don’t give a shit. I want one.
Trying not to go buythis, and swap in a Rover v8.
Range report:
I put 50 rounds each through the M9 and the CZ with no issues. And although Tulammo has a reputation for being cyka blyat dirty, my forearms looked less like I had been tending a campfire than an equal amount of Blazer Brass would have.
Honestly, for a company that supposedly makes high-quality .22LR, CCI’s 9mm is just filthy.
Gas bypass issues? loose tolerances?
No gas systems on either of the guns.
The old paradigm used to be “loose tolerances = reliable, tight tolerances = accurate,” but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. My CZ is the most reliable and most accurate gun I own. With the possible exception of the Mark IV. Not enough data yet, but it seems like a freaking laser pointer.
No, not the tolerances. Ordinarily the case fits inside the chamber kinda snug but not snug enough to seal. When you fire it the case expands and seals. I load light on purpose…less wear on me and on the gun….so they don’t completely seal. They are still accurate and plenty of punch for paper so it doesn’t bother me. It just takes me longer to clean the gun.
Sorry, wrong response.
Big problem with many brands of 22 is that they use lube on the bullets…paraffin usually. That makes gunk and dirt stick in the wax and the dirty multiplies with each shot.
I have a S&W .22LR semi-auto and CCI is is too dirty to run through it for very long.
Have you found a cleaner .22LR?
I just started shooting my Mark IV Hunter and it hasn’t needed cleaning yet (shooting mostly Winchester), but I don’t know if that’s because of the lack of gunk, or just because it’s a more reliable gun. My Mark I can’t go more than 200 rounds before it’s too dirty to function properly (but again, it was built in 1965).
It’s been far too long since I fired it, and my terrible memory is holding me back here…but I do know what I settled on was one of the cheaper(est) brands. Maybe American Eagle?
I’ve also wondered if maybe the spring was too strong or if the loading ramp needed polishing, or something else mechanical. Or a combination of things. Not a gun expert, so not sure what the root cause(s) was/are.
There is one hell of a difference in the amount of soot different powders produce. Yeah, 22LR is CCI’s wheelhouse. Outside that they don’t seem especially better than anyone else.
I don’t really know much about commercial pistol ammo as I haven’t fired any for probably 30 years. My reloads are typically kinda dirty. I load them down pretty low so they often don’t seal completely. That allows gas and soot to leak around the mouth of the case into the chamber. Not much, mind you, just enough that I get light sooting on the outside of the case. Also, I shoot cast bullets so there is lube to deal with as well. I think the last batch of 45LC was charged with 3.5 grains of Red dot. Very pleasant shooting.
45LC is a caliber I thought I was going to be shooting. However, I’m too damn competitive not to notice that the guys on the leaderboards of Cowboy Action shooting all use .38
Having said that, my lever gun is probably going to be in .44mag. Just because that can be used in all SASS competitions. My club is really big into SASS
I need to start with the lever guns. I have a beautiful .44 mag and a .45lc SAA colt. Lever’s gonna be a .44 mag, though.
#metoo.
.357 mag is top of my wish list. (to go with my GP100)
44 mag is a fantastic round. The range of loads is incredible. You can make it shoot down to around 700 fps and up to 1500 or so with the same bullet. I think with 180 grain bullets you can approach 1800….hell, let me look it up.
Don’t tell anyone, but the only reason I’ve decided I will (eventually) get into Cowboy Shooting is that there is no other plausible way for me to justify picking up a hammered coach gun.
You won’t be sorry. It is the most fun kind of comp shooting. Once you start you probably wont do anything else again.
220 jackets 1000 to 1500 fps
240 jackets 1000 to 1400 fps
240 cast. 700 to 1400 fps (amazing)
320 cast. 1250 fps
300 cast. 1000 to 1250 fps
more data inside those parameters for 255 cast and 275 cast
Thats just from one manual. Somewhere I have data for 180 grainers.
So 180 to 320 grain bullets spit out at from 700 to 1500 fps. That 320/1250 load sounds painful.
Ah, there it is.
180 grain Hornady XTP, 31.5 grains of Hodgdon H-110, 1896 fps.
I envy you. You are in the heady days of learning, improving, shooting and competition is fun. I am past my peak. My eyesight is getting bad, my hands have arthritis and everyone I used to shoot with has moved away to other states. I still have my memories and a boatload of ammo so I just tell myself I can start shooting again any time I want. Then I go mix another vodka.
I don’t know if you need another income stream, but have you considered custom reloads? Like so: https://bulletsbyscarlett.com
Selling reloads is risky. You have to have too much insurance. You can’t control what stoopids do with it and if something happens they will blame it on. you. Besides, I don’t need another income stream and my life is safe and happy.
Sitting at my desk and glancing into the mirror, I noticed some odd wrinkles, smoking and Singing? maybe
Ima try making chicken wings next week. Bake or fry? We don’t have a deep fryer, so it’d be in a dutch oven.
My go to chicken wing procedure is coat wings in rub and smoke for three hours or so, fry and then sauce.
Also, I have never had good luck with wings in the oven. Small kitchen fryers are cheap as chips which are also good to make in a fryer. You will never go back to store bought corn chips.
I did a whole chicken spatchcocked on the grill the other weekend. Just cut off the drumsticks and wings after, cut in half, and coated in butter hot sauce. Was quite good.

ATK’s oven-baked buffalo wings are my go-to. They come out great (start lower temp, then gets cranked at the end).
It may seem redundant, but include the executive summary. Even if the points in the summary are nearly identical to what you put in the body of the report.
I write two audit reports a week, and bankers actually want the executive summary as a guide for reading the whole report. Some reports I include a “ key findings” section, an executive summary, and the same info in the body.
Watch a good “Shark Tank” presentation. Concise summary, then flesh out current situation and reasons for investing (recommendations).
Great advice, man. Thanks!
