Running around this morning doing Monday chores. Cleaning out rodent traps, taking care of three sets of chickens, making sure various plants and trees are alive, that sort of thing. Putting to use some of the stuff Landlady brought up last weekend: Do you know how sad it is, with all the cool shooting stuff out there begging to be bought, when a hermit blows his whole shooting budget on a bag of crushed walnut shells? That’s sad. But I put new media in the case polisher, because I’m a (ahem) mature, sober individual who does not waste money on useless fripperies. (/ahem) Dammit.
I got to play with fripperies anyway, thanks to an unnamed benefactor…
I load all my pistol practice ammo on a single-stage RCBS press, which is a fine little press don’t get me wrong but when you thread the powder dumper on it every part of the press except the part that actually holds the dumper is directly in the way of the operation. I’ve loaded several thousand cartridges on this little press, and every single time I’ve dumped powder into one of them I’ve wanted a separate dumper stand. But lo! They’re expensive for what they are.
Now I’ve got one of my very own, and thank you very much.

Try not to spill walnut shells on your doilies Joel. OK?
Or gunpowder… That would really mess up your doilies. 🙂
Been using that same arrangement for nearly forty years. Makes all the difference, doesn’t it?!
😉
Bah. Gunpowder shakes right out of my doilies.
Really? That’s good to know. 🙂 I never owned any doilies myself. LOL
Well, I’m not a complete barbarian…
You are welcome! I would have sent the long undies too, but I’m a married woman. Plus, they would probably get too sweaty this time of year. But it’s a sincere thank you for good writing.
