What did you accomplish today?

Now shoveling snow is a different story.

If you're taking a shoveling poll I vote Fick Nein!

Cannot complain about mine, finally.

@BudmanTX that rain will be here just in time for the weekend..

Today I was able to accomplish the extinguishing of an oil fire on my stove! (My first-ever!) ..wasn't too big a deal but you wouldn't know it by the amount of smoke still in the house! :/

It's tough to find returning help to say the least

The trick is to say last one, a lot

Was going through some old boxes for a woman and found an old s&w model 31 .32 long. She let me have it. It was missing some parts but I found them on eBay for $50. So I got $50 in a Smith revolver. Supposed to be accurate guns. The blue is gone but I figured it would make a good pocket gun.

throw some permablue on it, and then the protectant they make, it'll last till you're in the ground

ceterum censeo: I find it fascinating that the new talent enjoins me to do it in English, then disregards his own complaint. It bespeaks a bad attitude.

As for continuing any of this in PM away from public scrutiny, fat chance. That is a liar's request. A discordant note, as the Germans and Austrians with whom I grew up had a much more scrupulously honest and considerate way about them.

I wonder if this is generational. The younger generation may have abandoned all decorum, with the corollary of abandoning integrity. In that case das Vaterland is in the same death spiral as the rest of the West. O tempora; o mores.

but...Cato, Carthage is already destroyed.....¿

Hard not to. People either love plowing or absolutely despise it. No real middle ground. Now shoveling snow is a different story.

Changed out a solenoid that was getting red hot. Wasntt the problem. Bad ground. Now I've gotta find where through a cluster fuck of wires. Yay.

I don't envy you that.

Is permablue that cheap cold blue? I hate the look of that stuff.

I'm going to rust blue it.

You can also make hot blue with lye and ammonium nitrate. If amonium nitrate isn't available then potassium or sodium nitrate can be used. One gallon of distilled water, 5 pounds lye and pound of nitrate. Be careful when mixing. Little at a time and then boil it and add gun parts. Boil gun for 30 min to an hour for desired finish.

I like rust bluing.

The model 31 is worth about $450 to $500 in good shape. That $750 price is most likely because it's new old stock and never been fired.

My wife likes it and may end up with it.

Smith and Wesson quit selling parts and only do warranty jobs now which making parts hard to find.

When I looked up prices on numerich each little part was 10 to 40 bucks each. When I found the eBay listing for all internals for $50 I jumped on it.

I was suffering from Balk Tackwards syndrome yesterday. What I meant to say was Too Slo is Slo 2 X Chicken Pen 1.

I don't know how you guys can be so blase about frozen water falling everywhere.

Not all of us are. Frost are big deals to me.

I've got two of those battery drills in 18 volt.

Mine has got used more the last month than it had the 3-4 years that I've had it.

Sam's Clubs have some good prices. But do your homework before buying. I got a great deal on an underwater camera at Sam's last week. I had bought one years ago for 200+ and saw one for 150 and bought it. Got home and was watching You Tube videos to see what it would do. One had a link to Amazon in the description, so I clicked it. Camera, plus extra battery, sdcard, cleaning kit and lost video recovery CD. All for 139. My deal didn't feel as good then.

Yea. I like the look of it. Rust blue has been used for a long time. Have you seen the old Damascus or twisted steel shotguns that are rust blue? Got rings on them because of the way the metal was made. Pretty.

Yes, I have a AS Degree in Gunsmithing from Lassen College. The rust blued shotgun was a school project.
