The CZickness XLIII prepping for winter.

[MindfulMan]

I got some local product in the mail today. Not as exciting as MMs.

It’s been initiated, anointed, played, and loved-on…now, a suitable name must come to me in a vision quest !

The unwrapping !

Today was a fun day for me, like a kid in a candy store, when the UPS guy dropped off goodies.

Started getting a good majority of reloading stuff in over the weekend and today, with a bulk of the items from Midway. I want to give a shout out to Accurate Arms out of PA, they sent me some dies with a very nice handwritten note thanking me and wishing me a blessed Christmas season, that was nice to see and I sent them a thank you email in response. Dillon sent me a Fedex tracking number and the press shows Friday for delivery. Looking like I should be ready to reload this upcoming weekend at some point.

Here's the progress I made today.



Fully cleaned the Lyman powder measure per the manual, using rubbing alcohol. Easy peasy.



Made a "custom" bracket for it anchored to my "custom" made shelving. I'm big on repurposing wood in the garage, I find it fun to give an old something or other new meaning.



Got some other stuff situated and organized. Opened some stuff up and played around a little bit with it. Picked up a food dehydrator from Menards for $25 ($40 - $15 rebate money) to use for drying brass after wet tumbling. The brand is Professional Series, so I knew it was meant to be.





Ended the day in the garage with fully cleaning the Redding Premium dies per their instructions using Bore Solvent (I used Hoppes #9) and a brass brush. Applied a thin coat of case lube to the inside of the full length resizing dies, adjusted the decapping pins to protrude 3/16" and made it all look pretty. I found it very entertaining working with those dies, more than it should have been. It was really cool to see how they work.

I finished off a bottle of Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban scotch tonight. There was just enough for 2 fingers plus maybe a smidge more.

Finished that glass and added 2 rocks and refilled. Hits the spot

Hmmmm, May need to start a fine scotch thread (or have I just missed it).

 

[bcannon]

No scotch for me I'm a bourbon guy. Rum when I'm out of bourbon.... ok maybe need a alcohol for fun thread or something of the sort.

I find myself slightly aroused by the way you use words.

Be careful of that last "Smidge"

You are now my newest, best friend !
Kind of took a chance with it (based on listening to many YouTube reviews), and now in person, I'm astounded at the range of this guitar.

 

[MindfulMan]

..... and by the way, Spicy, your reloading outfit appears to be taking shape in well-organized fashion !

I'll take "things my wife has never said to me" for 500.

 

[T-DOGG]

Just one more drink and then it's bed time.

That’s why I’m the right man for you…

Agreed. Once you read it, you can't unread it.

A buddy of mine in high school had a 1969 Pontiac Catalina convertible. Seated 6 and was a major land yacht, but fun.

my 2nd car was a 1967 Catalina hardtop 2-door. Man I loved that thing.
