    Default OH EM GEE! It's BYTE!

    I figured this was better than answering all of the PMs

    Yes, my time out is over.
    I Spent 30 days in the corner for speaking out against something which I Feel strongly about. While I make no apologies, I will not speak out about that in this forum again.

    During my time out I Bartered labor for reloading supplies and equipment.(Thank you again Chris!)
    I am now the proud owner of a Lee Anniversary Press as well as a Lee 1000 Progressive for .45ACP
    With much fighting screaming, clawing and gnashing of teeth, I finally got it all figured out. I think for a day or two the wife was plotting my demise.
    After reloading over 1400 rounds I now look like Popeye.









    I Continued on my never ending mission to clean up the squaw pass site. pulling ALLOT of trash out of there still. Stupid people continue to abound.
    Last week we pulled at least one full contractor grade bag full of canned goods someone shot up. Yes, someone is shooting food instead of donating it to a church.

    I Did happen to catch the ad Alan posted up for the Springfield 1911. I Traded out my XD for it so my Conversion to the 1911 handgun is now complete. Thanks to Alan and Bert!



    Speaking of Bert, he did the Fluff and Buff on my Kimber... Beautiful fluffer that Bert.
    Seriously, this man made a good Pistol GREAT... Now I Need to work out a way to get some nice internals for it so it will be an AWESOME pistol.

    Still fighting with the VA... bureaucracy at its finest.

    Little Byte is getting bigger, Smarter, started spelling. Anyone with Kids needs to let them on http://www.sproutonline.com/sprout/home/jump.aspx
    I Swear its like having a teacher here, he loves it and he is learning.
    He still goes up with me every Wednesday and loves picking up shotgun shells, so if you reload shotgun, we have shells and need to start on his college fund!

    Mrs. Byte is as awnry as ever, she is going to be taking her mandatory vacation week starting Thursday... so if I Suddenly disappear, send CSI, I am probably in tiny chunks in the garbage disposal. LOL
    Mrs. Byte had a message for the Mod that banned her, but I'm not repeating it.

    Hopefully we are going to get some shooting in this weekend. we are probably going to head to the Swainson range, we will see.

    I will leave you with this:

    Then they came for me
    and there was no one left to speak out for me.

    It's good see you around again. Glad to hear that the time away from this island of misfits was productive for you.

    I'll have to check out Sprout Online when my guy is to that stage.

    Welcome back man!

    Nice! I was (sorta) glad to see that mil-spec disappear. Any chance to run your loads through your 1911's yet?

    Absolutely
    Whenever I get out to Squaw pass or to Hbarleatherneck's house I run some.
    I am glad that I got that Milspec There Graves, It's what I use now to test the loads as opposed to my $1K Aluminum frame Kimber!

    I have that same cheap LEE press and have loaded thousands of 40 and 9mm with it, some 223, and 308. I just finished a couple hundred rounds of 9mm! Reloading on a single stage press is a good get away from reality!
