Get a load of this… The incident in that post may in the fullness of time be remembered as Torso Boy’s greatest moment; neighbors were talking about it at a get-together yesterday. And now he’s receiving generous gifts from afar. … Continue reading →

Took the bike to chicken chores this morning. Got to the end of my little side road, looked left and right, and… Incoming from the right was a small pod (herdlet? whatever.) of cattle which immediately stopped when they saw … Continue reading →

Sorry for the no posting, it’s just hot here and nothing’s going on. Sort of an all-week siesta. I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s such a thing as too many pockets: I was looking all over for the tiny … Continue reading →

I woke to the gentle lowing of cattle all around me – which would probably be kind of a WTF moment for most people but I’ve been expecting it. Alas I’m not hitting on all cylinders when I first wake … Continue reading →

I went on a long afternoon ride yesterday without considering that the ebike had already been back and forth on chicken chores a couple of times and wasn’t fully charged no matter what the power bar said. I ended up … Continue reading →

I loaded nearly my last sized and primed .44 Special cases yesterday, which means… …it’s time for another turn of the Great Circle of Brass. Got the tumbler running while I went off, TB-less, on morning chicken chores… Sometimes I … Continue reading →

So … Bryco? Why would a rich lawyer lady carry a Bryco? Funny, anyway… The gun handling was cringeworthy to be sure; if these two ever took any training they must be among the few in history who flunked. But … Continue reading →

Periodically I stop at Landlady’s house to check mousetraps and generally try to keep entropy to a minimum. This morning I was greeted on the porch by an intermittent but rather loud rustling noise, and I couldn’t find the source … Continue reading →

H/T to The Adaptive Curmudgeon, who’s having the same problem adapting to our brave new world as I am. And he has less excuse – I mean the word is right in his handle.

With the shim I installed last evening, the Model 69 was 96% on reloaded ammo: 2 light strikes from fifty rounds. Not bad – even borderline acceptable for practice ammo, given that I don’t use handloads for anything but practice … Continue reading →

I’m going to fix my pistol’s light strikes if it’s the last thing I do! My new/old S&W L-frame has the most delightful trigger of any pistol I ever owned! As well it should, since it’s easily the nicest pistol … Continue reading →

Well, that’s out of the way. Sooner or later I had to schedule a trip to the big town about 50 miles away to get my new leg adjusted. And time will tell how much that helps. Nice to have … Continue reading →

Music to my ears, especially coming from Neighbor L whom I love like a sister but sometimes think of as kind of a Karen when it comes to neighborhood gunfire. We came back from the Monday morning water run to … Continue reading →

…whenever I get bored or a little out of sorts, as long as the weather allows and my chores are done. It doesn’t cost a penny in gasoline, and as long as I don’t fall down I always feel better … Continue reading →

I keep saying I’m not going to post on this sort of thing any more. I’m decreasingly inclined to even read about it, and hope for the day when I lose the impulse entirely. It’s a process. But sometimes… Sigh. … Continue reading →

My goodness, it’s good to be back in the saddle. Regular readers know I went out of the reloading business almost four years ago when I took a fall and wrecked my (other) shoulder. I wish I could say the … Continue reading →

This passive cell signal booster does nothing. It took hours before my notional signal strengthened enough to enable Airdrop so that I could even get this pic on the Official TUAK ‘Pooter. We’ve had some variable weather, I have 3 … Continue reading →

Torso Boy has taken it upon himself to protect my blind side from marauding cattle. And let it be said that he’s doing a hell of a job.

It’s kind of a problem for me that you can buy AC and DC lightbulbs with the same socket size and design. Often Chinese-made, they sometimes don’t even have identifying markings which means if you store them carelessly – and … Continue reading →
