    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Fun project today. A freestanding mounting stand for a cabinet. Goes on the production floor so everything had to be sealed up, including sleeves for where the legs go.

    Hornady ELX - No Good for Hunting Elk???

    Switched to them from Barnes ttsx in my '06 after it took 4 shots at 40 yards to put an elk down a few years back. All of the ttsx bullets opened and looked great. None of them exited. After seeing what the eld bullets did to the antelope and mule deer I killed last year, I think those could...

    Tyson vs paul

    Brutal decision. Thought Serrano had that one clearly.

    Tyson vs paul

    As a long time Cowboys fan, I hope Jerry sees the crowd here and decides to sell the team and go into the boxing world.

    Tyson vs paul

    Felt like Barrios probably should've won that last fight. I think as long as Jake Paul survives the first few rounds, then he will win the fight. Even at his age though, I think Tyson's speed is going to surprise Paul.

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    We've done some tedious work but I don't think I've been as happy to see something leave the shop as I will be when this project is over. Making 4 trays for a parts coating machine. Each tray has a total of 336 welds involved.

    As they lay

    Killed a little 8 point this evening in game lands. First one I've killed with a muzzleloader in a couple years. Came in behind me, just about ran me over and then he turned inside out and went the other way. Hollered at him and he stopped 30 yards away.

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Slow day in the shop today so I decided to try my hand at aluminum for the first time. Made a pencil holder for my wife's desk.

    2024 Garden!

    Been a while since I pulled everything up. But the good ol NC growing season (still haven't had a frost yet) keeps going. Volunteer late squash plant is growing well.

    Show me your Subaru

    I wanted to like the crosstrek wilderness but the front end on that thing is so dumb looking. Not that the new foresters are any better.

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Waiting on the helper to bring some stuff to the attic, so I figured I'd post what we've been up to. Made a set of ramps because the plant didn't plan for the difference in finished floor heights. And then made some floor chases for new lines that are getting run. Currently running some propress...

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    A lot of in-position stuff yesterday getting some tees cut in. No way to purge through these lines so that's why we had to put ferrules in. Picture sucks because I was just getting proof everything was in place when I left.

    What's on the smoker today?

    Tomorrow is the start of our annual men's fishing trip at church, so I figured we'd kick it off in style this year.

    NFA Wait Times

    Just shy of 2 months. Picked it up yesterday. Still plenty of time before squirrel season to figure out which subsonics I want to try.

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    Thank you, and yes the missionaries we were with sent us home with a whole care package. Deworming meds, charcoal pills, etc.

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    Just landed back in DC. 5 hour drive home and then a nice hot shower and some much needed sleep. Thanks for following along everybody.

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    When we were up in the rainforest it definitely felt like a different place than I had been before. We were a little insulated in what we saw because we were working so much that we didn't really see more than a snapshot of the country and the culture. A nice place for sure. I can imagine back...

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    Just flew into the capital. We have a few hours before we have to check in for our flight to Turkey so we are going to go visit the market and get some lunch. It's been a good trip, I am looking forward to being home though.

    Semi-live NOT a deer hunt

    Cell network is down so I haven't had a chance to post, but today was our last work day. We finished the goal of getting all the trusses up, all the cross braces installed, and all but 1 course of purlins installed. It was sketchy at times and a lot of work, but the result is very good. Tomorrow...
