Goodies!

Finally a day rain-free enough I felt comfortable about taking the bike to town. And the bike came back laden!

I know I’m always complaining about being on the ragged edge of the supply chain but this is ridiculous. I needed a little bit of plumber’s strap – so last week I went into the hardware store to buy a roll. They don’t carry it. Seriously?

So yeah…

I had to send away for a little roll of plumber’s strap. At least now I can casually do that. Not so long ago I’d have had to improvise.

Also, a Friend of the Blog sent me 500 more rounds of 9mm practice ammo – plus 50 rounds of the expensive stuff! Thanks!

I know I said I wasn’t going to buy any more of the reloaded stuff, and I meant it. But free has a value all its own, well worth having to do the “plunk test” 500 times. And sure enough, about the same percentage of the ammo failed the test. So far I haven’t had further problems with the previously-culled batch, so this should do it. Thanks again! I can blaze away without guilt for a while.
