Preparing to head out for the rest of the day.

Cold, windy and snowy.

That picture looks like the Great Snow Get Together of 2018(?).

Are you up late or up early? Morning everyone.

Up late. Went to sleep about 6AM and got up shortly before noon thinking it was Saturday. No plans today so no problem.

That's what I was thinking. That was the day you drank the Koolaid as I recall...

I went yesterday and picked up that Walther Q4 steel frame from my dealer, I sort of took the whole steel frame thing with a grain of salt but that thing is a little beast, weighs as much as a 1911 but a very sweet Walther trigger. I got notification also my auction stuff should be showing up today, probably just in time with all the weather coming across the midwest.

Stuck along I39 just south of I80. Group of snow piles in the road broke an air fitting on the reserve tank. Awaiting the mechanic with a replacement.

Why does something always seem to break in the middle of winter when it's freezing out.

That is when the stresses of everyday life (and cold temps) turn the surviving parts, partially damaged, to brittle nubs of their former selves.

Just turned to a rain/snow/slush mix coming down here.

Will I'm out of work until the ground freezes.
Guess I'll reload and catch up on YouTube.

The gardener has spent the day putting up all the window and door covers. Won't be able to see outside for a while, but the house stays warmer.

Spent the day in my workshop. There was weather outside?

All set for bluing, toaster oven, hot plate with boiling water, heat gun.

Decided I needed to re-prep the trigger guard and slide as I had some defects coming through the blue So each got 6 cycles today and I finished up the other parts as well.

It is amazing that after 4 cycles there is almost no rust formed after applying the Express Blue and boiling. By the 6th cycle there was no noticeable rust. That’s how I decided I was done.

Hard to capture the tru color in a phone camera photo but more of a dark blue/gray with a hint of silver? It is a black rust coming out of the boil pot. Something in between the next 2 pics

Ready to soak in oil.

And now in Rotella diesel motor oil for a few days.

Next up, reassembly after the oil soak. Will try to get some good pics once it's put back together.
