Finally pulled the trigger on the scope. It is a Vortex Viper HS LR 4-16x50.



I don't have a rifle vise so had to jury rig up kinda one. Trying to keep everything level.


I think it is a level as I can get it after tightening it all down. Good eye relief and nice cheek weld height.

I'll have to bore sight first and then now that it getting nicer get out and SHOOT.

Quick question. Do you guys loctite your scope ring bolts? 

All done and back to the Safe. Had to modify the lense cover that came with it. Too tight on the front to rail. I also have to go back this morning and swap out the high rings to extra high rings so I would have front clearance.

Good job on the level.
I locktite blue on mine. And once finished I dab a little red nail polish across the cap screw to the ring so I can see at a glance if the bolt has backed out.

Mowed too close to the edge of the pond. Had to bail off. Pulled it out with the tractor. Then pulled the plug and carb. Changed oil which looked milky.  Got it running again. Need to change the oil one more time.

Today is another concrete day. And my AIr Dog blew a fuse on the Bus.




And I decided to use a water level to set the remaining tube forms. Aaaaannnd apparently my string level was way off when I set the corners.  They are off as much as an inch or inch and a half. Gonna have to pour a cap on three of them. Should have used the water level to begin with.

Or spend $600 on a laser level

Reports of 17 aircraft destroyed.  The un is a gutless and nutless American hating organization.  The collective world governments have agreed that chem ware fare  is a big no no. No one else enforces the morality of warfare against women and children.  He's sending a message.  A little message would be a single tommy through the window of an aspirin factory like Clinton did to get the attention off his humidor. 59 is a warning to not only Assad but the rest of the bad players.  Every time Russian hardware in the hands of arabs has gone to war the world has been dumbfounded by the speed and lopsided nature of war in which the US technology dwarfed the rest of the world and embarrassed the Russians.  Don't think for a minute they didn't realize that in the first and second gulf war that their best stuff was obliterated in hours. Putin is a high testosterone thug with ED. He knows better. The last 8 years he played Obama for the foool that he was. The gig is up and he knows it. He won't dare push the envelope.

Moral of the story is you need to carry a few ounces of gold in the glovebox in case ATMs shut down and you need to fill the thank on that beast

Some of the shots in shooter were suspect.  but the dialogue with danny glover and the senator were awesome.

Read the comments below in the article. I think the community supports him. I want to send him some more ammo.

I'd send the thugs grandfather a road map to Chicago or CA. Apparently they're not welcome in OK

Life is hard. It's harder when you are stupid.

Funny story, Stewie. I've got a few things for sale on CL and I'm amazed at the stupidity level.

Just duct tape it until you actually get it running....

Back on North American soil!
Thank god!

Been a whirlwind tour, glad it's over, and a long list of places to not return...
Been up 24 hrs now, stupid time changes...time to sleep.

Welcome back!  Glad you survived being disarmed.

Negative sir. Just random pondering.

Tell us more about the fixtures you are using in the holes?

I salt a few hours before rub and no salt in rub. Salt is the only seasoning that penetrates so i put it on early and let the meat come to room temp.

 I use apple juice to spritz every 45-60 min and then a bit in the foil before wrapping. Then either plain or I use Stubbs with a bit of honey

3-2-1 on baby backs is a bit long in my experience.  I do 2-1.75. and 1 or thereabouts.  Tweak to your temp and preference.

just curious.  How many bits did it take to drill all the holes?

And would it be more cost effective to have a fab shop water jet or cnc, or laser cut all the holes for you?  Other than having an excuse to use the cool drill, of course.

Are you a democrat, republican or a redneck??

Here is a little test that will help you decide

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.

You are carrying a Glock cal 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Democrat's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!

Does the man look poor! Or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

Could we run away?

What does my wife think? What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

What does the law say about this situation?

Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on , could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

Should I call 9-1-1 ?

Why is this street so deserted?

We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing!

I need to discuss with some friends over a latte and try to come to a consensus.

Republican's Answer:

BANG!

Redneck's Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click....
(sounds of reloading)

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click

Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?'

Son: 'You got him, Pop! Can I shoot the next one?'

Wife: 'You are not taking that to the taxidermist !

Other than the jumps it looks a lot my last ride down Mt Werner in Co.  although I had full suspension.

And Mike there were some idiots going back up hill later. I had a lift ticket. Smart. Ride down, lift ticket up. Ride down. Repeat. Next day. Unable to stand legs were so sore.

When I looked I thought the harvestnright freeze driers were closer to $7k. What's the best source for a deal?

I loaned my framing nailer to my dad.  So now I'm looking for a new one. What did you look for in your nailer?

I don't think there is an accelerator pump. I stand to be corrected perhaps.  I would check fuel pressure and then look for vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks will make it do that. On that era vehicle there are a lot of small vacuum lines and pieces that develop cracks.

I still look at the pictures I have with both my girls and their first fish. What a great memory.
