Thanks man. I'm also bummed we didn't get to meet. I met a lot of really great folks on here (and a few weirdos! [LOL]) but you're one of the people I really wish I had met up with. Who knows when I'll be back.... But I'll certainly stay in touch. I have no plans of abandoning my post here! I introduced myself over at calguns and got a pretty cold welcome. That place just doesn't seem to have the quality people that this forum has to make it enjoyable and worth my time.

Forget the link, we finally watched the season finale of AGENTS OF SHIELD. Lots of interesting might happen next season. That is all
Yeah it was! I dare say that finale was more exciting than Age of Ultron! Definitely looking forward to September...

Wife's brand new car got hit from behind today on her way to work. She's ok and I'm at work so I don't know what the damage is like. Neither party called LE to file a report. Her excuse was because it was raining....WTF kind of logic is this!

She needs to file a desk report. I think that's what they call them, some can be done online. She needs to do it asap. The interwebs should be able to help her locate what she needs to do depending on where it happened.
Obviously she didn't want to get her hair wet. Hope the at fault party has insurance, and she got the info. She also needs to call it in to their insurance, and her own. ASAP.
At least she is ok.. the other things can be worked out. If she starts feeling any pain she needs to go to a doctor.

Pretty much ^^

I was hoping you'd pop in and confirm. Desk report/Counter report, is what I see them called on this end.
The gf was insurance shopping this weekend and wanted help. She wasn't happy with the price when I made her get good coverage. 'I don't get why i need that much...' /facepalm
I don't think a desk or counter report will mean much at this point, as it is just her side of things, but she should do it anyway just to get it on record.
Online report filed. Told her earlier on the phone to contact insurance comp. on both parties next. She said the dude who hit her "was a nice guy". No shit. I'd b a nice guy too if I fucked up if I didn't want to get sued.
Just be sure if she starts feeling any pain to get checked out. Common with a rear end collisions is nothing hurts till the next day. Has to do with physiological reaction to trauma. Going to a chiropractor is not the same as going to a doctor.

Again, this is correct. She might not feel anything until all the adrenaline goes down. Also agree about Chiro not being the same as a doctor. Had a claim once where a lady got rear ended with kids in the car dove them straight to a chiropractor. They were 1 and 3. Facepalm.

Was doing the plank challenge with my buddy who's a fitness nut. He made it to a 3 minute plank and finally gave up, just spite him, I did the next step and completed thru 3:30 and then stopped out of lack of motivation. I am pretty sure I could have finished it.

Thanks Stu. Wifes doing fine and we are waiting for the other parties agent to call us back. They are aware of the accident. She took the car to a body shop and they said the damage is cosmetic. I still can't bring myself to look at the car. Obviously it's minor damage, I just like having stuff look perfect.
Cosmetic as in no frame damage? Or that it's only the paint? Either way, glad to hear it. Be prepared for the body shop to be weeks behind. My wife was rear-ended in February and we haven't even had our appointment yet!

I'm sorry to hear about that, my Friend. There is nothing easy about experiencing that.....I hope everyone that you called, appreciates the fact you have feelings about having to make the calls, instead of just reacting to the news...if that makes any sense. And that you have to go over it multiple times like that.
It's all good OBC.
Just wanted to call each sib to express my condolences, and I was on good terms with all of them prior. Not really something you can do in a group text. The repetition is what wears on you (3 brothers and 2 sisters).

I didn't let that 2nd damn seat cover get the best of me. Whipped that fucker into shape today. Had to pull a few staples and rework it in the middle after getting the front part down.
Considering the ill fitting cover they sent me, I'm 98% satisfied with the results - even with the off shade of red (should have ordered the Burgundy or kept it all shades of grey/black/dk grey) I ordered.
If I was gonna keep them, I would have done JetTrim for sure and got a color swatch first.

Morning ladies. How was your Memorial day weekend?
My camping plans were undone by snow and rain in Estes park combined with a massive cold.
The weekend was salvaged by a trip to the Wild Animal Rescue.
Wow, what a place.
The place in Kersey? I've been trying to get out there. Also been fighting a cold all weekend.
It was the Estes city camp ground, they were the only ones kid and dog friendly on short notice.
I meant the Wild Animal rescue.
Ha, that's a " who's on first" moment.
Proper name is The Wild Animal Sanctuary. It is located in Keenesburg.
Folks consider this a PSA: get out there and check it out. This is the closest thing to seeing these animals in the wilderness without going on a safari. I'm not a fan of zoos and this place is like the anti-zoo. Relaxed animals, acting "wild", as you walk 30' above acres of enclosures . Bring binoculars, I had a 7x and 20x set and used them both.
I will post a pic when I get some wifi.
Yes that's the one. I've had my eye on it for a while now.
Here is a few snapshots.

Been busy this week. Friday night we had a good storm happening. I woke up at 1am feeling weird. Half awake I thought to myself, "I know this feeling. Where do I know this from?" Seconds later "BLAM!" the entire room lit up blue. Wife screams, I'm outa bed with the pistol in my hand. (stupid, you can't shoot lighting) So I start checking the house inside and find half the panel is tripped. Smell of burnt electronics is pretty light but there. Once the lightning tapers off, I head out into the rain the check the outside. Can't find a mark on the house or nearby. So go back in and wait till morning. Can't sleep after that and the TV was dead. The next day I check the house and surrounding acreage and still can't find the strike mark. Spend the day checking circuits and appliances. Here's the final damage tally. Every GFI in the house was completely blown, bathroom fart fans timers blown, AC/DC phone power source dead, one cell phone charger dead, two single throw wall switches dead, TV dead, DVD dead and a couple of LED bulbs are dead. The TV and DVD suck to replace, but both were over 10 years old, so I finally got to upgrade (42" flatscreen) Switching out the bad boxes is not hard, but GFI's are damn expensive. Looks like most of the bad stuff was on only one of the legs. (staggered on the panel) Good reminder for me to add whole house surge protection, but the weird thing to me is how some stuff like the LED's blew. The switch was off, so there was no physical connection between the bulbs and the hot. (unless it arc'd the gap) It was a close strike so my guess was it energized the neutral or came up the ground. Well, got the new TV plugged in last night and couldn't get a good fix on a station. Put up the ladder and went to check the antennae. Found the littlest little burn mark on top. Started looking real close and found more evidence. The TV antennae is mounted on a 1" pole that is sunk into the ground. It definetly took the hit. COAX cable was completely intact and ohm'd out fine. Antennae itself is one of those wound coil units. It's fried. There is a small arc mark between the pole and the roof line, so my current guess is that part of the charge lit up the roof and traveled through the house ground. Whatever happened, the final result sucked. I have decent protection on the house, it just sucks that even good surge protection and ground doesn't always protect during a direct strike like I had. If anything, I'm gonna change the TV antennae to a outside wall/ roof mount instead of the pole. That way, at least I figure, the lightning rods will be a more attractive target to ground than the antennae pole.

Dang! That sucks, man!
a few weeks ago, I had a very close bolt of cloud-cloud lightning right over my house that tripped most of my GFIs and fried a few electronic things like my garage door opener and my nice sound bar by the TV. I guess I got lucky. [Dunno]

Lightning strikes suck.
We had a direct hit on our big tree at the corner of the house several years ago. It survived but has a huge seeping crack about 12 feet up. I had some large dead limbs pruned off last summer by a pro that was working at the neighbors (funny what a Benjamin will get ya). He initially thought the tree had been recently struck and was potentially going to have to come down. When I told him it had been a few years and he looked it over better when he got roped up into it, he agreed it was still healthy. The last snowstorm has done a little more damage, so I don't know how much longer it will last. Big ass "hybrid cottonwood." Someone once told me "Russian Cottonwood," but I don't really know.
Last night, we had one of those flashes that light up the room and the crack came nearly instantly. It seemed like it hit just on the other corner of the open space behind the house. Probably 300 meters away.
Luckily, we've never lost anything electronic that I recall. My primary AV stuff and all computer stuff in my office is on good UPS.

I might be offering one (IAI Javelina) in the near future. I'm overinvested in new projects and need the funds. I'm going 300 BLK ACR, Friend and I are colluding on either replacing the barrel on my new ACR with a 300 or maybe even making up an entire assembly from a mix of scratch and factory parts. Looking to modify the gas reg to a 3 or 4 setting setup to get the piston to work right with all ammo. Outa be fun. Got my Colt New Service Project put back together, still need parkerization. Got my latest stamp in, so my new 6" Ti suppressor won't take long. Some people are amazed at my total disregard for "taking a dremel" to a brand new high priced firearm. But, like I've said before, tools are fun.

My soundbar was on a really good surge protector (almost brand new too) but I'm guessing all the wires connected to it acted as a big antenna to collect just enough of the electromagnetic pulse from the lightning to fry some little component inside. The soundbar sent audio to the sub and surround speakers over Bluetooth and those still worked, but the main speaker bar didn't put out any sound. Bummer. [Dunno]

Thanks, but I've got all the wires. I need to pickup the little box that converts an optical audio cable signal to RCA. What sucks is you lose the dolby surround capabilities, but it will only effect what the TV picks up, not what the DVD plays. Again, first world problems, lucky to have what I have. In other news. Shipping notice on my ACR shows it will be here manana. Cut down my SCAR 17 to 14.1 and perm'd the suppressor mount. Will get it back together tonight. Tools are fun.

Lol understandable. Houses require constant attention like most other things to keep it in good condition. If not taken care of it'll do that. Don't clean and oil your guns see what happens lol that's my point. But if the walls are original try putting your first through one. IDC if you are Ronnie Coleman... It ain't happening. Almost two inch thick plastered walls over 50 years old are solid man.
It might as well be concrete but any manual labor worker with his or her salt knows concrete takes over 30 years to fully cure and reach maximum hardness..... Hence my reasoning behind older homes. Newer homes are nice but not able to withstand the beating you can give to older homes.

Also the jackass that said that needs to get on the ball before he or she has to do a major overhaul. So getting a new place is the better idea. Don't have to deal with the remodel or the nastiness of mold. From personal experience it's gross and not a fun job to handle.

Got the plugs changed in the boat today, had to make a run to the parts store when I realized I didn't have much dielectric grease and saw all the plug boots bone dry. That doesn't give me the warm fuzzies on the past maintenance done on this thing.
CRC sells dielectric grease in a cheese whiz can now, coolest thing ever.
Also got the damn jetski back together after a failed attempt to remove the leaky oil tank. Needed a special factory wrench to remove ONE BOLT on the exhaust that had to come out first and said F that. What a bitch to reconnect those rubber straps when there's no room to work inside the hull. Had to use big zip ties to pull them together.

Now going to take a crack at fixing a gelcoat gouge from a shitty docking last trip last year. Damn low on black gelcoat patch through so white for filler, then top it off later with black. I should have checked the stash over the winter damnit.
Would like to get the truck tires rotated but my jack is on the fritz and it's a damn chore with the 3/4T. POS craftsman 6T(?) jack that never did work right. Just like my POS Craftsman torque wrench. WTF is it with plastic (locking) rings on tools anyway?
Maybe I'll just worry about getting the oil/filter in the truck changed.

YA there is lol I've read several threads already and intrigued. I guess I should be more specific then. Any 5.56/.223 reloaders on the western slope in or near grand junction I can contact and even learn from. From the looks of most threads like ones from zombie Steve and the kazoo they say watching another reloader and learning from them is the best route to go... In their words "monkey see, monkey do." I want to meet somebody and discuss and learn to reload.
Do you reload pistol now?

Start off by getting "The A-B-C's of reloading.
Then pick up a single stage reloading press and dies for pistol calibers, they are a bit more forgiving than the rifle calibers.
*Attention to details is the key to reloading.*
Once you are comfortable with reloading and shooting your own Pistol calibers, Move up to rifle calibers. Remember, that the 5.56/.223 is intolerant of overlength cases ( as all rifle calibers )and trimming them is critical.

I started with rifles and was a bit frustrated. I should have started with pistol calibers. This is some great advice.
Also, buy yourself a couple of reloading manuals. I like the Lyman manual, personally. Start reading. This is the best place to start. Ice you understand the concepts and processes, get some hands on experience with a friend or another member.

I don't drive or ride the pass anymore lol. Never again. And thank you sideshow I'll do that. Gotta look into it first then decide which route to go. I only took a glance in the stores yesterday. I guess another question would be what's a reasonable price for the reloading and die tools needed to reload.
In case you didn't see it in the WS thread:
Take 50 to 285. Problem solved.

You'd also have to help find them in the box... And unpack the rest of the stuff while you're at it

Hornady and Lee offer a starter kit that has everything you need except components, powder & dies in the $180 - $225 range. Make sure to read through "The A-B-C's of reloading several times, and also search for Gun Kabooms pictures & videos to understand how serious it is to pay attention to the details when reloading.
Also get yourself a brass rod smaller than the diameter of the caliber you are reloading and a brass or plastic faced hammer.
while shooting reloads, or any ammunition for that matter, remember:
Bang,Bang pop. Stop and Check it OUT !!,!
If you have a squib stuck in the barrel, you can clear it out with the brass rod and hammer.
