I was looking for some bullets on gunbroker and I started in reloading components. On the first page were some primers that caught my eye. $230 for 1000 cci pistol primers plus $39 shipping. Wow. It makes me consider selling a few.

I am having the same thought, here is an active auction in MN, folks are bidding stuff up,
Yeah. We got around 3-4”. It closed my school and most of the ones affected.
A lot of it has melted now. Luckily it didn’t stick to the roads. However, the roads are still pretty wet right now and the temp is supposed to drop below freezing tonight.
I have (yet another) virtual performance coming up. I decided I'd do something I haven't done in awhile: Raks al Shemadan - dancing with a lit candelabra balanced on my head. So I went looking to see when the last time I did this was - 6, 7 years ago? Nope, it was 8 and the performance had some problems due to a situation beyond my control - so the last time I did this successfully was in 2010.
So not only do I need to practice practice, but I need to get the Shemadan (candelabra) back in shape. Its covered with wax drippings, is dirty, and is an all around mess - and I only have 7 candles for it and I need 9! Ace Hardware - of all places - carries the candles I use, so I put in an order and they'll email me when its ready to pickup as its not my local store. The darn Shemadan is disassembled and in my freezer to make de-waxing easier. Oh boy!

I just made this adapter for a customers pistol because he wants to use his suppressor on it. The difficulty was that the barrel doesn't protrude at all but has a sleeve thats pressed and pinned in the "outer barrel". I pressed it out, indicated it, turned it down to 8mm, threaded it and made the adapter, threaded it, installed and then turned it down to the liner diameter and then finally single point threaded the1/2-28 threads. I actually have the same exact cheap pistol as this and was considering doing the same until I had the bright idea to remove the 22lr liner from mine and make a 17cal liner for the abundance of 17hm2 that I have. Thatll definitely be something different and fun so I ordered a bbl blank.

Watched a rerun of Death Wish (1974) last night. Can't believe it's 47 years old. Some of the gun handling skills? was laughable but a lot of the movies message fits right into our present craziness.
Finished The Grand Alliance by Winston Churchill today. Read Alone a couple years ago. Have yet to aquire The Gathering Storm to complete the three volume set. Excellet windows to the past. Fascinating man.
Niiiiiice! That my kind of tech - the stuff I cut my teeth on. I have an RCA console/floor AM/SW radio from 1937, model 811K with a motorized tuner. Restored it back when I was a teenager, still works.
The video was very informative, I saw some old friends, and some new brands I'd never heard of before - lots of brands were regional in those days. Guy obviously has an Atwater-Kent fetish, but he can be excused for it as they made wonderful radios. The title "animations" were annoying though.
No collection would be complete without a Zenith Trans-Oceanic!

If you are looking for something to watch on Sunday night, PBS is running a series based on the James Herriot book, "All Creatures Great and Small" , watched the second episode tonight, got introduced to "Tricky Woo" and his flop bottom problems

I’ve been watching this. I read his books years ago.
If you like animals and haven’t read his books you really need to read them.

I had never heard of some of those brands. The obvious craftsmanship in a mass produced appliance was fantastic. It's nice you have an example that's had the benefit of your own hands.

That is a great show. I use to watch it with my dad when he was alive. I don't know if I enjoyed the show as much as watching the old man laughing his ass off at some of situations on the show. There is a series of books by James Herriot about his career and iirc they were all pretty good reads. One of my favorites is about Cedric the farting boxer!
Refusing to conform to the left wing mantra of political correctness by insisting on telling the truth does not make you a loud mouth.

A couple of them were new by me too. Definitely a time when companies took pride in their product and designed things to last - unlike the crap made today.
I went in and snapped a picture of the RCA just now:

A 25 inch screen was as large as you could get for many years, and what we had up to about 2010, when I got a 35 inch flatscreen. Left it behind in California, we're using a 28 I think it is now. Wife watches the news on it, and we'll watch the occasional movie, don't need anything bigger. Sis in law has some gigantic thing, 60 inches or so.

I think this is brand new production, but I am not sure.

What gun is that?
Not really, but I welcome the distraction.

Don't forget to let set warm up before adjusting the tuner.

A boyhood freind had tv's with cabinets like that in his house. Worked very well all through the 1970's. Small screen though.
