My buddy had one for him and his wife, she never got the hang of it and he sold them. There are a lot of bike trails local, one shop rents them, you should see if that's the case near you, Rent before you buy.

If you were running 500 of those, might be worth it. But only one part, end mill flip it end mill, done. Did you notice no safety glasses, with those high speed cutters I'd be scared to death.

But that's irrelevant. It does not matter what the Hague says or does not say. We - the United States of America - have decided this is how we're going to do it. And we - the US of A - do not use soft point ammunition in warfare. It is against OUR rules.

You sure?

Are you sure? I thought it was some treaty or other for rules of war, since that was not a declared war it didn't count and we didn't sign it anyway.

I would say the rules for basements are the same near any body of water. You are going to need the bottom of the basement above the highest level of the water. That said many places around Lake Superior rise quite fast as you move away from the lake, you could be 20' away and 20' higher, The church I go to up there is about a mile from the lake but a good 100' above it, it has a basement.

When I started reloading my mother taught me how to read a micrometer.

Pretty common in NE Ohio back in the day. A good number of guys in my apprenticeship learned from their mothers.

Seems that some south American cinnamon producers are adding lead to their product to increase its weight since it is sold buy the pound.

Oh, that kind of vernier calipers! Being an old rocket engineer, I thought you were referring to the twin 1,000 lbF thrust rocket engines on the sides of an Atlas-D ICBM/Mercury capsule booster.

You should have know better, this is cowboy action shooting, not rocket science.
