Blackout?

 

[Ericpwp]

Getting ready to leave for vacation. Fly out Wednesday.

where to?

 

[melensdad]

where to?

Going to hike across Spain. Starting in Biarritz (France) heading south over the Pyrenees mountains, then west into Spain to the Atlantic ocean. Roughly 618 miles.

Another walkabout?

Pretty much, that or a very long argument with my family ... good thing I have noise cancelling earbuds

I would walk 5 hun dred miles and I would walk a hundred and 18 more. da da da.

I tried to check out that tapas restaurant on 30 yesterday and they were closed. What's up with that?

 

[KLB]

Just heard 130 & County Line Rd will be closing down later this month until mid-Sept. Widening the intersection, putting in turn lanes, and adding a stop light.

All needed, but they are starting to make it hard for me to get to work with construction everywhere.

 

[bulletsmith]

Blackout?

Yes. I put together a rifle, now I need ammo. My first time ever trying something like this, reforming brass from one caliber to another.

Making room to let someone merge is called courtesy. As long as it doesn't involve having to break hard, you shouldn't be an ass and try to stop someone from merging onto the highway

Yep, unfortunately common courtesy and driving don't go hand in hand these days. They had a special segment on TV last week about road rage. Some jack wad expert attributed it to people leaving too late to get to where they need to go. IMO that may be part of it. I just think it's a who different attitude of me first, I am entitled, and just plain ole lack of courtesy. Everyday I see people turning at the last second in front of on-coming cars. Last week as I was driving to work, a lady turned in front of an oncoming car at 149 and 130 intersection. The lady turning got t-boned real bad. I stopped, and 3 other people got out to assist. I figured they don't need more congestion at the crash site, so I continued on to work. I am pretty sure they were going to have to cut her out of the vehicle.

How I get to and from work every day. Explain's the marker flags on the sides of the intersection. Need to find another way to get around the intersection. The turn lanes will be a great addition for getting thru the intersection with a train blocking traffic. Wonder about the detour route with all the traffic going thru there.

In the same boat. I shot almost all of my factory stuff. Time to start chopping.

I'm going in head first. Haven't even fired the rifle yet. The first round through it is likely to be one of my own. BTW, I see that berry's now has .308 220 grain bullets. Prices seem reasonable too.

 

[Ericpwp]

Wow, I did not see that. I was wondering if you were going to source them from your guy.

Oh.

My daughter is comparing this trip to the Trail of Tears.

I tried to check out that tapas restaurant on 30 yesterday and they were closed. What's up with that?

I dunno. I've driven past that one about 100 times, never stopped in.

There is a good one over in Valpo. Don Quiote

 

[Ericpwp]

It sounded good from the reviews on the net. Looked kind of dumpy when I go there. Who's not open on a Saturday?

They were one of the vendors at that benefit I was at a while ago. Having sampled their offerings, I'd consider an alternative. It's nothing you couldn't make at home.

In the long run it will be nice to have a light there. I am sure County Line Orchard is hoping they finish on time too.

Sounds like the Bataan Death March to me.

No, they didn't have to carry backpacks with their all belongings on the Bataan Death March.

Some nights coming home there will be over 50 cars in a line waiting to get thru the east bound stop sign.
