Oh and today I had 72 tons of rock delivered. 36 rip rap and 36 crushed limestone roadbase. I have to re-cut the drainage channel along side the driveway and line with rip rap to stop the erosion. I put down about 4 inches of the road base by the shop and will eventually do the entire drive. Getting practice with the tractor trying to get a smooth surface.
Really want a hydraulic top link and hydraulic lift link. I already have the two rear remotes, I just need the links and hoses.

Gonna DOT up the gossup thread
So Tex, we're talkin' roofin'
Noun, not verb
I am about to roof up that trellis thing I built and the two offerings I have to choose from are either the metal roof, 29 gage standard stuff in multicam cammo of course
or
This Codura asphalt fabric stuff.
Now life span of either exceeds mine, so that is not a consideration.
But
Codura is 30%-50_ less costly.
And
A tad easier to layup
so
What say ye? thoughts?
https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/7798/what-are-the-pros-cons-of-ondura-for-roofingA little googlefu turned up this. I would stick with metal. R panel is cheaper than standing seam

Don, question for you. I know you had cows show up on your property, have you had any stray dogs show up? I seem to be a magnet for stray dogs at my place.

Ok. Three racks of ribs today. Three different ways. All used my same rub, but one was not spritzed/mopped, one was spritzed with apple juice and one was mopped in a vinegar sauce that had pepper, brown sugar, salt, white vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes and Texas Petes hot sauce. I really really liked the vinegar/ pork combo. Wow.   Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't do MOA. I only do MIL. What ever system you choose make sure that all your weapons systems are the same. Only one system to learn. Computers can give you trajectory tables but only real world shooting can show you the real dope. Get a log book and keep detailed meticulous records. Temp humidity wind ammo distance all factor into your dope book. Shoot a lot and keep records

Good job Nate. Old guys rule. I can tell you that water at 50mph hurts. I high sided my seadoo XP at 50+ going around a bend and hitting a wake. Launched me like a rodeo clown getting the wrong end of the bull.
Ken more details.
Today I poured concrete. Did bible study. Poured more concrete.
Didnt like the amount of bearing surface on the 12 inch piers for the 12x3.5 glulam. So I put an 18 inch tube form around the 6 outers and poured a bigger tube.
Should be ready to get with the structure of the casita soon.

I'll take a stab at it.
Most of the left was indoctrinated from birth with liberal ideas although they do not know it was from Marxist socialist teachers and professors.
Because of this, and the fact they've never had to face a real existential threat, they think more with their heart and feelings than with their head.
They were raised in hyperbole and not facts, therefore when their "belief" system is challenged, rather than dealing in facts they resort to violence or insults.
They will continue this destructive pattern until their head is separated from their body by the very people they welcomed under the wonderful idea of tolerance.

I'll happily run some numbers for you. What was the barrel length again? It may be week after next since I'm about to check out for a week and the software is on my desktop computer.
I always Zero at a 100 and dial from there.
I'd consult your barrel mfg for their recommendations but iirc my builder said 5 slow rounds letting the barrel cool between rounds and then a patch of sweets 7.62 always from chamber to muzzle 10 times until clean. Three times of that routine and then I clean about every 50 rounds.

Dave as a brisket nears completion, and the fat starts to render, it becomes tender. When inserting a skewer, you'll notice it slides in like it's going into butter, very little resistance. Another method is how flexible it feels when you pick it up.

Mike, small victories.....
So had the parents over for bible study today and then went to get Pho for lunch. Ordered a simplisafe security system for the weekend place/hide. Then ordered parts to make a 1U rack server/computer that will run the camera system I plan to build to replace the one I have now.
Got terrestrial internet last weekend finally so I can get rid of one of the dishes.

"meh, beyond 1000, I'll just phone in an air strike and unwrap a snickers bar. I don't want to give away my position and that's generally outside the margin of error for a pilot to drop ordinance"

What type of Loc-tite should be used on different areas of assembly?
Back-up sights?
Buffer Tube?
Anti-walk pins for trigger assembly?
Stock/sling mounts?
Anywhere else?
I know "staking" is another method for some areas, but I'm pretty sure those are already covered, except the Buffer Tube, which doesn't have a nut based upon my stock choice.
You can use Blue in all those locations, but really most BUIS don't work loose if they are steel and mil spec rail design. Please describe the buffer tube set up. That is the one location that needs staking, along with gas key on the bolt carrier. The anti walk pins should use blue loctite. Perhaps the most important area for loctite is the scope rings where they hold the scope. I put blue loctite and then apply a dab of red finger nail polish to be able to easily identify if the screws have worked loose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Spent an hour or so climing a tree to install a yagi antenna for a cell phone booster/repeater trying to get a better signal for my cell phone at the hide/weekend place. After climing the tree I had to add an extension cable and the extra length reduced the signal worse than leaving it lower to the ground. Back up the tree to remove it and now mounted on the eave of the house on the gable end. Have some more work to do to route cables and run them into the house. All this in near 100 degree heat...and high humidy....ugh
