NWI INGO General Post - Part 12

[Ballstater98]

Soooooo the 1919 ran really good today, although I think I need a new trigger for her...

Probably the last decent day for a while. Glad you got out and enjoyed it!

 

[bulletsmith]

Great day to get out and shoot. You're smart to enjoy it. I stayed home and made bullets. Working 5 days a week is just getting in the way.

 

[gunbunnies]

Yeah it was still under 70 degrees so I froze but making the old Browning sing was awesome....

There was the cool targets too....

5 days

 

[bulletsmith]

That browning looks like a riot!

5 days

I take it you are on the dreaded shift work?

Shift work. And a company that has no problem scheduling buttloads of OT.
At least only have 48 hours this week.

I've honestly never understood the concept of under staffing only to schedule lots of overtime.

It was mentioned that I was "not a team player" once when I didn't want to stay over into a midnight shift.
I was already SCHEDULED 64 hours.
Then, when the Caster went down and I was being replaced by new guys that didn't yet know the job..
We had been screaming about training and replacements. So.. I wanted management to deal with the bed they made.

It's a fine line, isn't it? I guess you have to always know where that line is... I don't envy your situation.

 

[chef larry]

We will see how much of a snow dance Jedi did in the next couple of days.

 

[Ballstater98]

It would appear someone started the snow machine over here.

Flakes are falling in CP

I have always found that when you excel at your job and make your self "nearly" indispensable you can P*** off the boss pretty bad once in a while without serious repercussions.

 

[1775usmarine]

No snow in Laporte yet.

 

[Hawkeye]

Soooooo the 1919 ran really good today, although I think I need a new trigger for her...

Is this a semi-auto or a full auto 1919? Always thought that was a neat lmg for the US, but I guess the Ordnace Generals did not.

 

[gunbunnies]

I'm not in the special class yet to own a full auto so this one is in semi auto but she is pretty cool. Eats ammo faster than my business can provide cash for bullets and still not in full auto... Ths is one of JMB's awesome designs, they should have kept it in service, although the big brother isn't anything to be upset about...

I should have her out to a meet & shoot this summer if you want to give her a try....

 

[Bill B]

Bill B are you in the UP repair shop?

Which one?
Theoretically I work at Joliet but have been on medical leave for a while. I have worked at Dolton and Proviso with Proviso being my home terminal.

Fake cop stops woman on I-65 near Crown Point

I don't see this going well.

"In an effort to prevent others from being victimized by a police impersonator, state police urged drivers to only stop in well lit and heavily populated areas, only roll down their windows an inch or two to communicate well, ask for the officer's identification, remain in their own vehicle and call 911 to provide your location and the license plate of the person stopping you."

 

[actaeon277]

Now I have to find the thread where a woman was arrested for doing exactly that.

Woman said safety was reason she didn't pull over for police
