Started this little project. Troy at Colorado Gun Writes did the engraving for me. He does amazing work. Still waiting on the barrel from Tromix, muzzle brake, and the BCG. Once I have those parts, the upper will be complete.

The Taco got new bones! Not really a “purchase”, since Toyota paid for it. After a couple failed attempts and a class action lawsuit, Toyota replaced the frame on my ‘05 Tacoma.
Thought this might be interesting in relation to this post:

Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited, .44mag/spl, 20" octagon barrel, 99% condition, no box/manual but this thing is in fantastic condition. It's a pre-Remington from 2004, has the "JM" stamp on the barrel. Wasn't looking but got it as a partial trade on some stuff. Quick pic tonight.

My new purchase is pretty boring comparatively, but I picked up a 10/22 to use for the appleseed event I'm attending in june
Used, but looks perfect, $200 including the rings and cabelas branded 22lr bdc scope. Not fancy, but it'll do the job and was a better deal than buying a new cheapo 22.

I had an awful time with skin irritation when I had to shave everyday, but this combined with having a job where nobody gives a damn if you skip a day or two has sorted it all out.

I bought the butt connectors on a whim as they were a flash sale on Amazon. The spade connectors are to install some rock lights on my rock crawling buggy.
The rest is to clean and replace the dry rotted rubber parts on a 1963 GiGi Pinball machine.
Thanks guys! It's certainly a rough looking head. Here it is after the first round of vinegar

Keep us informed on how those butt splices work out, there have been some bad reviews about them not working as advertised.
I used a couple of the large ones today and I am not impressed. You have to get them very hot to melt the solder and they get very flimsy. It's fine if you have a stationary heat source and can hold the wires on each end of the splice. Not ideal for using in the console of a vehicle. Once cool they are stiff and seem secure and sealed though.

I just use a metal crimp, then solder, but don't forget the shrink tubing first!
Buy either adhesive lined marine tubing, or if you're working on bigger stuff and have 2-3x shrink, I just use a hot melt glue gun. Give it a squirt, then double down with a heat gun. However, hard to do on small stuff.
https://www.amazon.com/270-pcs-Adhesive-Assortment-MILAPEAK/dp/B0771K1Z7Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1523326901&sr=8-2&keywords=waterproof+shrink+tubing&dpID=513Vt3AIEwL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
If you need a lot of just a few common sizes, might be better to order from Mouser or Digikey.
https://www.mouser.com/Wire-Cable/Wire-Protection-Management/Heat-Shrink-Tubing-and-Sleeves/_/N-5ggzZ1yzvvqx?P=1z0xe63Z1z0xg3xZ1yzp2rpZ1z0xfzwZ1z0 xfztZ1ydlw43Z1z0jnfk&Keyword=heat+shrink+waterproof&Ns=Recovered+Diameter%7c0&FS=True
When I worked as a marine tech we only used T&B connectors, and a proper crimp tool. To seal the connector just squirt some silicone into the tube prior to crimping. Theoretically that should add resistance to the joint but in reality it prevented corrosion so well, and the crimper removed the silicone at the crimp well enough. The joints lasted for years even in bilges with sea water.
Two more chicks to replace the one that died. I wanted a variety to start with so I was happy at the opportunity. Also, since they are a few weeks old (to match mine) they were even discounted.
The one that looks like a chipmunk is a Speckled Sussex and the darkest one is a Barred Rock, which is the breed that got me into this whole chicken fiasco to begin with.

Construction probably starts tomorrow. They are supposed to be able to be in the coop full time (without heat) at 6 weeks. I'll probably have it mostly built pretty quick, and functional shortly after. Once it's ready to rock, I plan on putting them outside anyway with the heat lamp at nights. They already spend pretty much all day outside already. d

Bummer. I just walk around the house and knock on every window until he let's me in. Sometimes he tries to play tough, but when he sees me get the ladder to get the second story windows, he usually lets me in.

Look at Tractor Supply for them. Jax doesn't deserve your business.
These were discounted down to $1.99 each at the Big R at 120th and Colorado. I don't know what the regular price is, but can't be much more. They discounted the older ones and just got new ones in.
Older chicks in the left two bins, brand new chicks in the other bins.

Great deal on the safe. I have similar sets of puck lights that I use in the gun safe, kitchen, bath and bar cabinet. Sometimes we'll have frequent power outages here so these work great for backup lighting. But use them conservatively and be prepared to buy more AAA batteries.
Sam's Club sells the lights that can be used in four colors and dimmed to save power.

Haha, not for sale yet! Got a set of Pachmayr Compac grips on the way (the original combat wood grips never fit my hand) and a good buddy in Wyoming, now retired and goes to all the gun shows in that free state, is on the prowl for a holster for me. There's one of the original S&W/Lew Horton new old stock in the bag on that popular auction site but at $150+ I'm gonna pass lol.

Another amazon purchase I made for my safe was a set of these:

The set I got, the rods were black.... so far I haven't had a problem forgetting to remove the rods, but I think the bright orange rods is a much better idea.
Makes getting rifles in and out of the safe much easier than the rifle rest, and makes it easy to deal with different length rifles.

Added to my next amazon purchase. I filled the pistol pockets on the door but need to get a few more in there. The rods will work great so I can remove that damned shelf that doesn't fit any of my suppressors.

I filled my door pockets and had to buy a few of the Shelf hook kits and I still have some kicking around and should probably order another one now that I'm thinking about it. My safe looks like a tornado went through a garage sale and it takes a little bit of effort to get the door closed each time. One of these days I'll just break down and buy a bigger safe.

No pic, but I got an unworn pair of these yesterday at the thrift store for $22 bucks.
https://www.amazon.com/Danner-Mens-Steadfast-Inch-Hunting/dp/B00XF10OJ8
I see on the reviews that someone says they aren't waterproof. Not sure what they were doing, but after a walk around the block to see how I liked em, I came in and my oldest was taking his bath. So naturally, and to my wife's displeasure, I stepped into water up to my ankles and stood there moving my feet around for a few minutes. No soak-through.
They were missing an insole, so I ripped a pair out of my converse allstars and they fit perfectly. I actually didn't like the Danner insole that came with them.
Very happy with these so far, as my Columbia hiking books are now 9 years old and worse for wear.
Nice score. I will warn you though. I bought brand new water proof hunting boots mid-season two years ago. They were water proof exactly one time. The very next year they got swamped out just as bad as the pair that made me buy water proof boots in the first place!

Marlin 1895G. JM stamp, added a WWG happy lever kit, skinner sights and converted it to pistol grip with a big loop lever, tang, and stocks from a newer GBL. Had to do some fitting on the stocks. I wrapped the lever with paracord. I’ve wanted this rifle for years. The last JM GBL on gunbroker sold for stupid $, so I decided to build my own.

I've heard the Toyos wear like iron, but tend to chunk if you wheel rocky stuff a lot. Seeing as how my driving consists of 80/20 pavement/dirt on a good season, I'm happy with the decision. 65k warranty is hard to beat for an AT.
Finally got around to picking up a proper set of Grace hollow ground screwdrivers, about time.

Fair. YT has a wealth of good info. That guys vids are pretty good.
I have been told that it is to eliminate distractions on the track. No headlights and no brake/tail lights, so that people are paying attention to what the other riders are doing, not what their lights indicate (brake lights without actually braking being a prime example).
Beyond that, because the Safety Tech guys say I have to...

Got some new shoes for a 1911. They were intended for a customized blued 1911, but the gunsmith who has had it for the last 7 months appears to have made zero progress, so it might be a while. In the meantime, they will ride on my fancy Delta:

ER20.
It's a cheapy China water cooled spindle, so I'm not too worried if I end up hating the ER20. I can always sell it off in the DIY CNC world, and then upgrade to something better/different once I know what would be better.
Aaah. So is that an ER11 adapter by the orange line, then?

They really do. I loved my 5” straight pipe but no one else did, including Johnny Law. I had talked for about a month on toning it down since it was literally rattling my house windows and everything in the cab. My citation just convinced me to do it sooner.

One of thinest & lightest kydex holster we've owned. My wife's were J-hook version.So far I'm a huge fan. I don't foresee this holster lasting as long as standard kydex, and not because of craftsmanship, but the kydex is literally so thin, that I can see it cracking in certain places. That being said, the fact that my G26 feels as thin as a G43 in a thicker holster, I'm prepared to replace this ultra thin every few years.

Definitely shouldn't have gone camping at a place where I had cell service. I swear I'm going to wind up with an axe for absolutely every perceivable axe using scenario.

No offense taken.
That’s the normal response lol. I bought one for camping , then another , got on a couple forums and it all went to hell. I really only collect vintage axes ,It’s cheaper than collecting knives or guns. I only buy em if I can make a profit if I decide to sell.
I’ve got a few axes and hand/crosscut saws that are around 100 years old. I think it’s cool to see something like that survive that long without being destroyed or thrown away. The quality of vintage tools blows most modern shit clean out of the water.
True craftsman made these things with their hands. I appreciate that.

I thought it looked familiar. Been there a few times and they have an amazing marg there but I cannot remember what it is called. Love their salsa bar.

My office is right by the one in Fort Collins so if anyone wants to meet there (or Torchy's, Smashburger, etc.) for lunch sometime just let me know.

On Boardwalk or Downtown?

Boardwalk. I wasn't aware they had a downtown Fort Collins location.
ETA: Is that in the old Rasta Pasta location? I think I've actually been there now that I think about it.

That's the spot. It's confusing though as they have different websites but the same name and menu. Not sure if they are actually related.

The one on walnut, that's the original LaLuz, actually it was 1 off from Silver Grill Cafe. Then took over RP's spot after they decided to close due to a noticeable rent increase. The one on boardwalk was at one time part of the same ownership.

Just ate at the Silver Grill for the first time on Sunday. Really good food and decent Bloody Mary bar too.
