The ultra liberal environmentalist business owners next door to our slab yard give me thumbs up because I told them I haul it off for recycling. Did not tell them I burn it for heat, but discovered later they don't cry too much over fireplaces/stoves.

When my Pa was still alive, he was a pallet hunting crazy man. They use some wicked hardwoods, I expect all the cosmetic culls, for a lot of them and they burn hot.

The ctop skids from our post former are like that, oak, ash, hickory, pretty much all heartwood and hard as hell. Good BTU content.

Got a rack of baby back ribs in the oven! Dry rub applied last night, and into the fridge for 12 hours or so. Got them sitting in the oven now at 275 deg for a couple more hours. Should be done just in time for TWD!

Multi-tasking.

Kids are over with the new baby.

Tumbling 5.56 again today. Busted my decapping pin getting a stuck case out.

Decapped/sized about 100 rds of .308

I may go reset the trimmer that's setup for 5.56 and start trimming the .308.

I should setup the .45ACP die and load up the few hundred cases I have prepped.

Anything to avoid work.

got the lee decapper myself, and they claim lifetime warrant on the pin. Ever try one? I bought a small single stage just to decap, etc. helps me avoid real work too.

Nice, what did you shoot it out of?

I may go reset the trimmer that's setup for 5.56 and start trimming the .308.

have you made your own BLK cases yet by reforming 5.56?

1/4-20 tap #7 or 13/64 drill bit, 1/4-20 socket head screw 1" in length. 3/4" spacer approz 1/4" dia. Drill primer pocket, tap screw with spacer, remove stuck case. I haven't bothered reading the previous pwt ramblings, cause i have a steal searing on the grill. RCBS is slow but great CS. Go to SW and buy a 5 pack of pins, you'll appreciate next time round.

Broke/bent/busted both a Lee .223 and .308 die set. I love the Lee FC die and that's about it. switched to RCBS and seem to have better luck. The stuck case was totally my bad. I may pickup a decapping only die so I can decap before tumble. I really want to get setup for wet tumble as my walnut media never seems to do much on the inside of the cases or primer pockets if I retumble after decapping/sizing. Cleaning up after media tumble is the only part of this reloading stuff I despise.

Most of it was filthy dirty suppressed brass from the Sig 716. Damn thing still isn't running right - overgassed I believe. I tried to polish the chamber a little myself so hopefully I didn't mess it up worse. I have a very odd ring on the brass coming out of that gun.

Not yet, just getting into 300BLK. I have one 16" DD Upper I just picked up in the TP for cheap with 100rds supersonic 110gr, a couple boxes fo 220gr sub, and parts for a 9" AAC build on the way. I need to finish that other Form1 that's sitting in draft.

Was this storm some sort of surprise to DOT? Everybody off for holiday?

Drove 45 miles before I saw a plow and it was headed up the ramp to E 470 from I76. Drove another 15 miles until I saw one actually plowing a public highway.

When I first moved back down here, I got some work building a solar plant. The crates of brackets came from thePhilipines. Turns out all the crates were made of scrap mahogany. 1x3 six footers. Made some very nice shelves in the house, and I still got a couple hundred board feet left in the barn. Couldn't bring myself to burn this stuff, but any other scrap, pallets, or salvage are all BTU's to me. Most of this winter, my house has been heated by pieces of some old barns from Philmont Scout Ranch. 70 year old rough sawn lumber burned really well.

The ones plowing E-470 are private contractors for the Tollway authority, same with the HOV on I-25 through town and will be the same for the toll lanes under construction on US 36.

And yes, today is a CDOT holiday.

I know, that was why I mentioned it. My sarcasm projector was weak this morning.

Drove over 50 miles on tax payer funded highways and only saw private plows plowing private roads.

That confirms I did in fact see you the other day around 104th and Huron, and I'm too old to try and beat anyone up lol.

You probably did see me, but there is another guy that lives behind the Jack in the Box just North of Thornton Pkwy and Washington, and another guy that shops at the Westminster Costco over on 92nd and Sheridan. It could have been them, but it was probably me. :D
