Good list of uses... :)

Thought you'd like em'

Good point Bear.

.308 stuff, especially surplus military can be fairly accurate. I am thinking of that silver lookin' German Armee stuff. It out performs the us mil .762 rounds and can be found from time to time dirt cheap. I always keep a battle pack of that stuff laying around.

Wil, congrats on the new shed/shop.  As we here at RMTW all know, having a space to retreat to and call your own is tantamount to mental health for men.

Here, Here!

they'll keep pushing because they know that when backed into a corner, gun owners will always comply. there is zip, zilch, zero stopping them.

Oh, make no mistake my friend, there is something out there which can stop them!

The Glock 21 can be used as a:

Framing hammer
Wheel chock
Pry bar
Dog toy (As in throw the thing like a stick, dog brings back)
New years eve noise maker
Mag well fits some tractor lug nut sizes
Spade
Gardening tool (Just shoot uniformly spaced holes in the ground to plant large shrubs or trees in)
Barrel fits on the end of gardening hoses for pressure washing (For nasty stains, place barrel back in weapon!)
Finish nailer (With some mags)
Use as weight for important papers on passenger seat when driving with open windows
Use Halloween (Or any other night) to scare people!
Fixes, cell phones, lap tops, TV's, power tools, or anything else that needs "Fixin!"
Use barrel to straighten up steel parts like antennas or late model bumpers
Keeps idiots out or induces anxiety into their lives
   Example: Pick up teen age or hippie lookin hitch-hiker. Then when underway pick up the G21 and drive with it in your hand while steering the 
                 vehicle. Begin conversation about all the finer points of the Trump presidency, and all the trash Obummer has brought about. For added 
                 fun, cite how you can't wait to be accosted by a black lives matter angry mob...
Place over broken off shifter handles, and just keep on rowin' those gears!
Use barrel to store survival rations in. Things like Slim Jim's actually lubricate the weapon as well!
Place on dash when trying to find a parking space in a crowded venue
Take into restaurant and place on table when you just want to eat your meal without being bothered by people...Or you really don't care to pay!
Take into the post office, school, or other public places if you feel like you want someone to talk to
Reduces the normal range of guns you carry. Simply remove anything from a .22 to your handy elephant gun! The G21 replaces all
If you're an Army artilleryman, use it to replace everything up to 60mm
Ever have to change a tire, pull out the jack, but couldn't find the jack handle? Well there you are, problem solved!
Ever in a hurry, and when approaching the guy with the slow/stop sign, he goes to stop just as you arrive?  ;-)  ;-)
Place it on your hip, pull in the gas station in your huge 4 X 4...Right up to and way too close to some KIA, then step out and ask, Am I too close?
Can be used to stir up paint, chemicals which have seperated or yesterdays chicken soup.
Use to screed and smooth out concrete
Going to a cookout and forgot your spatula?
Shove raw meat in one end and yield processed summer sausage out of the other! Note: Requires added gun lube though
If you're ever giving a talk and you need a pointing device, there ya go!
And
If you ever want to shoot
You've also got a gun!

For a truck gun that sees lots of harsh environments and little routine "love" I would highly recommend a polymer weapon (dare I say the G word?). A full size G21 with a 10RD mag would almost never need to be maintained and would fire while full of Cheetoe crumbs ( I've shot  with beat cops that had crumbs in their holster and weapon)

It exists!

Nice!

^^^^ The boy just don't learn! He's still at it^^^^

Got a shed delivered....was going to build one but the cost was only about $800 more than what I would have paid for the materials...I liked that one. The only issue was where I wanted it the guy couldn't drop it just right. It was in the right spot but about 35 degrees off from the direction I wanted it to face.

The shed has 5 4x4's as runners under the whole thing. I threw some big lags in the ends of the 4x4's. Jacked up one end with the Hi-Lift, put a long 4x4 under the mounted ones then got some Sch 40 pvc pipe under the corner I needed to spin. Ran the come along to a tree and spun it on the center axis. Had to reset the chain for the come along a couple of times but it worked slick as hell.

Now I'm like a little kid putting stuff in there and figured out the layout. It will be a workspace as well as storage. I'll wire it for power and run a line off the house. I'll prob make that a plugged version so I just run power when I need it.

Ah, come on on man...No pics of this? You know I'm "Shed man" in another alternate reality, gotta see what can be done with the mighty shed!

Shed thread, shed thread, shed thread, shed thread...

Very nice!

Oh, and Stewie,

Sorry for wreckin' your thread, but it goes like that around here!

I hear Stewie has one of those "chain letter" pardons Obummer's handing out on the way, so no sense banning him until after Jan. 20 if it's going to mean anything....... ;)

Say it sin't so!

Well, if Stewie envokes the kings authority and pardons him, knowing that the Shawn was rescued by the Obummer, well I guess I could live with that...  ;-)

My bet would be Shawn is talking more than just a little bleach mixed with water.

Shawn, Are ya?

I'll get to the bottom of this!

It's definitely nasty stuff, I'd be using more than dawn and a little bleach myself. I understand it's just for showers and toilets but a little work now is better than headache later imo.

Just for an idea we had about a 95 gallon reservoir on our one vertical cnc mill & we would add a gallon of bleach every 3-4 weeks just to keep bacteria growth down in the summer.

The entire cleaning operation on three tanks took maybe an hour and a half. I used dawn and hot soapy water at 3200 psi. I soaped and rinsed each several times. The tanks were then hosed off again with normal garden hose pressures with 140 degree water. In the end each was just as clean as the other. No residue, no beading of water to indicate the presence of oils, and a new like appearance.

Now the other thing is that the water in those tanks, because I plan to collect rain water, will go through the best RV water filtration unit I could find. You know, the standard 99.99% variety.
The setup is good, on to fitting it all out.

Since Shawn is taking cheap shots at me, I wanna ban him again. So I decided to let you knuckleheads vote on this rebel-rouser!

You people decide this man's fate!

Ken gets 20 votes to start with

I get 55

The rest of ya's get, say, one

That seems fair.

I voted the correct choice already ;-))

Well the tanks are sitting next to the camper in the spot I have chosen for them to live.

Looks like it will fit well into the setup I now have and not block the east window very much. With my adding them there I an creating a stair step turned on it's side look to the north end of the camper. After I doll up the skirting some, I'll place some landscape feature in each corner to soften up the approach to my temporary home.

I was looking at the setup I have and no, I don't want to over think it, but if i added a walled in deck to the entrance area, I could create a three or even 4 season room where one could hang their jacket and drop the boots before entering the kitchen area. Might make for a nice place for the doggies to lay around on and chew up the outdoor living furniture I'd likely place out there. Not saying anything for sure, just eyeballing it...

I also clad the remaining slide-out with the pink stuff. Today it was nice outside in the mid 30's. Inside the camper with nothing more than a single heater element of that hot oil radiator turned up about half way, I'd say it was maintaining 60 in there. A check on the propane level showed no usage that I could detect.

Romans 10:9-10

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.


Yippee!
The yippee part is not in the bible, well, not the exact word Yippee. But I think the saints when thinking of what Jesus did for us, were writing elaborate verses that all distill down into a fundamental happiness which, I, a consummate country boy sum up as

YIPPEE!

Two of them were pretty clean, having a small amount of fluid in the bottom. The third tank had been used to catch some cutting fluid and machining residue from some metal processing. The bottom looked awful at first. I picked up this tank for a song, and am keeping it for a possible fuel tank to store off road diesel for the tractors and loader.

After cleaning them with hot soapy water and dawn dish washing detergent and using my pressure washer, I could not tell anything had ever been in there. Actually, now I am not 100% sure which tank had the shavings in it. What that mess was was machining lubricant, water based, and the metal filings, nothing else.

Machining coolant is basically animal fat, bacteria likes to grow in it. I suggest scrubbing the internals with some bleach. I can tell you about some aweful skin rashes it can cause & my guys soaking in bleach baths at night to kill the death itch they would get in the summer. You've been warned.....

Note taken!

And I was going to add bleach to the water in the tank, I always do. Even though the water is filtered, we only wash with it, and drink the bottled stuff.
If you add a bit of bleach to the water in tanks outside, algae doesn't grow in it either.

I hate to keep dotting up Stewies thread. Do we have a thread on raising livestock yet?

You know the deal right?

Edit: Hmmm, tricked myself, you're already the moderator of that forum!

I know, since I like controversy, here's how we'll do it this time

Red Neck since you called for it and I'd normally make that your baby, and since you're already tagged for the job, I'll hose someone else, just because you called for it.

Lucky winner will be: Wilbur!

Now you two boys get along down there, hear!

You can just make out the 300 gallon mark cast into the tank

These tanks are Schultz tanks which are constructed with the same plastic as other tanks, however are a bit thicker, making them a great candidate for the project for which they have been selected

Have a bit of the Beverly hillbillies look going on, but I will soon attend to the ascetics. But for now, so far the winterization is a pass

The rain from the Christmas monsoon has definitely softened up things some. So, we had hard gusty winds and a load of rain but the camper skirting and tape is holding up very well thank you very much!

I no longer have physical custody of the G43, momma adores that piece..... ;D

Ok, same concept.. Take your wife to the range. Let her shoot and you give us HER review!

You review said bag.

Git on em' Bobby!

Closed the loop on the water tanks today. Picked up three - 330 gallon tanks from an hour north of me. I'll get on scrubbing them clean tomorrow then transport to farmside.

After taking some measurements, I'll be able to create the enclosure in the shop downstairs.

So having thought about it, I think I'll build a simple four wall box out of 2X4's and the same high tech siding panel that the shed is sheeted with. I'll add a simple roof, put an access door inside it, and this the cool part:
In the south wall, I'll build in two of those solar collectors that will passively work during daylight hours and hopefully heat the interior enough in the winter to prevent a freeze up. I view this as an intelligent experiment where I believe the chances that it will work approach 100%, however allow that it may fail.
I'll get busy on that tomorrow.
My base plan calls for 660 gallons of water supply which will be additionally fed from camper roof runoff to add some self replenishment aspect to the design. Eventually I'll mount two solar panels on the roof feeding a battery beneath the camper which I hope may supply all the power it needs to stand alone, grid free.
We'll see...

I just love this stuff...

Funny

One thing to own a weapon, its another to know how to use it

Well maybe you'll have some snowflakes sign up to get edumacated..... ???

I have been encountering some. Surprising how fast they fold, now that they are looking over the edge into the abyss of conservative ideals.

Very scary time for them, and Yep, I'm having a good time!
