Maggie’s What's Your View II
- Thread starter 1J04
- Start date
The landscape contractor has it scheduled for September . Too hot right now!
All the neighbors miss us all summer so they wanted to have a little BBQ since we're home. First brisket I've done on this thing. Hope it turns out!
Coarse salt, fresh ground pepper, garlic powder, and a little blackened seasoning.
Pepper is the key to good bark. Not that fine pepper either. A kind of coarse ground I've found works the best

You're in central ND. If you leave now you'd probably get here when I pull it off ?
Thanks for the offer, however today is our anniversary, starting year #33. Prior plans have been made, steaks on the grill tonight, tomorrow Minot for some shopping and a movie.
Think I'll mention to the Child Bride a smoker would make a great anniversary present.
Congrats on the 33years! I've been with my wife 17 but married 9. A smoker would make an awesome present! The big traeger has treated me pretty good so far and my in laws smaller one is good too
Thanks guys, I'm amazed she's tolerated me this long. Either it's love, or she's just given up.
Hear good things about Traegers, will do a walk through of Home Depot tomorrow. Never know, one might follow us home.

Shit just got real. Liv'n the dream man. Been holed up in the reloading room for the last 3 days. Only out long enough to get my friends and I guns warm, then right back at it. Sky's have been just like yours for days. We're drying out and getting critical. Bout 10" now below norm on rainfall and fire are breaking out. Place is gonna burn up good if we don't get some wet. Afraid they're gonna shut down the woods.

That sucks dude. Only select areas open in AZ and having been up there now I get it? Just one dumb ass and we loose a forest. Little early for you to be that dry isn’t it? My wife is going to kill me when she figures out what I’ve been up to in the reloading room???? Wall mounted TV for podcasts and video? Been imursed in 556 and need some entertainment? Don’t want to shoot while standing in a blow dryer so I’m throwing down in bulk.?
Complete and utter madness. But it's my madness. Didn't even screw the pooch once. Did (4), yep, FOUR guns at the same time. Coulda used an extra ChargeMaster and Rock Chucker, but no. Two 300 WM's and two 7MM's. 210's, 185's, and 168 Berger's. Did up some 212 ELD-X just for shit's n giggles. They didn't like the first run. Don't matter. The Berger's continue to impress. Had a great 3 day weekend of marathon reloading and shooting, reloading and shooting, and repeat. Couldn't be happier to be at work. I think I pulled my liver.

Good on Ya !!! Knock that shit out Brother. And ya, it's way early for us to be this dry. It's going to be a nasty fire season I'm afraid. August 1st the unit I bought an access permit for opens up and so does Black Bear. If this keeps up I'm afraid they'll not allow out till things change. Fingers crossed. C'mon RAIN !!!!
I'm almost always losing for at least 4 at a time! Me , wife and the boys. Plus I usually am bringing a friend trying to suck them into the sportComplete and utter madness. But it's my madness.

As long as there's no interruptions it's not a big deal right? But then one or two of your yayhoo buddies stop by, wanna bullshit, wanna have a brewski and ciggy, then start asking about one of their guns. You know the drill. I write notes and leave'm at each station. When I'm running full tilt like this I have stages in 2 or 3 different rooms. Seriously. Then the outside room off the porch and the porch. Tumblers, Annealer, Brass Prep center, then the bench work. Then gotta keep your buddies shit all separate, then separate brass by how many firings. Keep their powder, bullets, primers, yada yada all that shit separate. Maddening. Wife has a good sense of humor. I got shit strewn literally end to end and then some. If I didn't write notes to myself there's no way I could keep it all straight.

And a red-stripe, at that. Pure administrative badass!

None of my business, but I assume you are the self appointed "reloading slave", because if any of your "clients" had to do it, your concerns are (in order of importance);
1. They'd blow up/off body parts, indiscriminately.
2. They'd quickly lose interest in the sport altogether.
3. You'd have to watch them buy store bought ammo......"1 box of 30-06 from the hardware store ought to last me for the year".....
4. "What's a Grain ?"
5. "What's Overall Length ?"
6. "Is this REALLY supposed to look like THIS ?"/"Does this look right to you ?"
.......etc.

You already know my friend. All that and more. So much more. I can't take it. The new guy to the neighborhood wants to learn and is amassing all the goodies, but pissing me off a bit. Not because of the questions, I knew there'd be a million, but questioning why before he even knows what the fuck he's talking about. I honestly don't know if I have it in me to be civil while trying to teach him what a life long learning curve of doing this since a teenager has taught me. I told him he's gonna get the whole thing handed to him. What I believe to be important anyhow. Reloads are just like shooting around a bunch of people. I don't trust'm. You say reload, I say bye bye. I'm a hard sell. But on the other hand, I do all the reloading because I'm known to make factory hunting rifles do crazy shit. So there's a big following and it makes me feel good to see others shoot so well with there guns. I've cut off a number of people who didn't show enough interest or who show up a month before hunting season.
But ya, you get it.

Figure I have about a two weeks before the ultra mag crew show up?
Just spent 3 hrs, hands and knees doing two floors by hand with Murphy’s. Wife insists that we take care of the feral piece of shit cat my son left behind when he moved to Seattle. All I’m gonna say is 3”, #6.......god I hate that animal?
Time to go hit the reloading room?

Huh ? You didn't make him take the cat with him ? Seattle's a great place for "all things feral" (I know, I live there/here).
Nice job on the floors, BTW.....
So, you got a feral, skinny-jeans urban trendoid, too, huh? At least mine pays for his own lifestyle. Hope yours is, too. No way I'll front him cash any more, given his politics. And he has no current clue about our preparedness.
Powder River Pass. A couple hundred feet shy of 10,000.
WY snow fence. Snow was drifted 12-14’ deep behind it less than 60 days ago. All gawn now except for the real high country....
A little hard to see but rock climbers just to the right of the dry black waterfall chute in Ten Sleep Canyon. Becoming quite a thing there....unheard of 5 years ago...
Skinny jeans??? Tell ya what, that cat better leave some evidence of job performance or it’s the desert, 12 gage and fuck the shovel.....leave it for the coyotes? my boy is actually gotten his shit together after a goodly amount of time with his head up his ass and doesn’t ask for money any more god bless him? told my buddy that if they were taught good stuff coming up, they will fall back on it eventually. Got the scars to prove it???
Damn nice job. Looks fantastico. Now pump those rounds out and let's see your shiny boolitz.
Want to jump on some 26 and 7mag but I’m committed to putting a dent in the 556?
That picture gave me post traumatic stress syndrome. I was in charge of the tire department for our local Ryder Truck Rental for 14 years. I could change a full set of 10 tires, including balancing the front, in an hour and a half. I hated that job.
Floor looks great. Wolf Match Extra is only 0.18 per, just sayin ?
It's more fun in the side of the highway in holiday traffic...
A brief view of a project I’ve chipped away at over the last few days. Aluminum telescopic flag pole project. Start by hand digging a 2’ diameter x 3’ deep hole with a heat index of 105+. I know, wait until it cools off a bit, but I’ve always been a “what the hell, get it done” sort. It’s fun to see how quick you can soak a shirt ?
Fabricated a jig to hold the PVC sleeve plumb while crushed rock and cement went in the hole.
