    Yea, well, it's not my fault. My wife's car's brake wear indicators started squeaking, so I did what any self-respecting husband would do and I picked up new rotors and pads and installed them.

    Not going shooting had absolutely nothing to do with it being -12F this morning, trust me.

    I did my part, now it's up to her to go wash it.
     
    Stuck here at work, weather causing delays on relief getting here to make handover...

    Got a new Auto-Trickler V3 just dying for me to get home😬

    Several items waiting on me to get home and
    ship to the new owners..

    Then I’ll go to ELR’ing..

    Yeah that Auto-Trickler has to be hollerin at you, it is a machine of magic. I have a 21 century shooting neck turning lathe waiting for me at home. It was also -14 this morning.

    Rotors too? You are a good husband. Hope that garage was heated! (I am kidding! Have you ever seen a heated garage?)

    Oh it’s definitely hollering, I just knew when I left home 2 weeks ago it would ship... And it did... all this time sitting there. I’m fine just worried about it😬

    3 here this morning...

    Yea I bet the lathe is lonesome too...👍🏼

    Did a little shooting this morning with a 375 for my shooting partner.
    -22 degrees with a DA of -4418
    we had only a 5 to 7mph wind to deal with so testing and trueing BCs work out well at 1000 and 2458 yards. Our ammo temp was at a control 80 degrees.

    cheers

    First time I shot near sea level was this weekend at -12 with a DA of about 400ft while at 8500 ft elevation. Having really only shot long up in the mountains I had to triple check my firing solution.
     
    Vehicles with no wheel studs and rims that don’t center on a hub are f*cling stupid. That’s all I have for this thread.

    I do agree that the no-stud hubs are a bullshit design, but it's trivial to center them up. I don't think I'll ever buy a Jeep again. I've dealt with 3 local dealerships and they were all pieces of shit.
