Most canvas is cotton duck and starts out kind of an “off white” in color. If I were one of those wagon owners, I’d refuse to participate and then park my wagon, white canvas and all, where everyone would have to pass by it and hang a sign on it explaining why!! If I had time, I’d have some flyers printed and hand them out during the exhibition, accusing the organizers of racism!!

I have some of about every brand of all brass shotgun shells that are or have been available in the last forty years. Magtechs, Remingtons, Winchesters, Rocky Mountain Cartridge, Track of the Wolf, and a few more odd examples. The RMCs, I figure I will never have to resize. But I shoot my brass shells in three different SxSs, four different ‘97s, two Winchester ‘93s, three Marlin ‘98s, and a magazine fed semi-auto shotgun. Between the different chamber dimensions of a dozen different guns, the different loads that I shoot in these guns, and club footed lumoxes that stumble around stepping on spent shells, I often find it necessary to run the other brands through a sizing die to avoid having to keep separate batches for the various shotguns. I used to use the RCBS Cowboy die set, but when a good friend of mine passed away some years ago, I bought his CH4D dies, along with all of his brass shell components. I am much happier with these and I’m in the process of going through all of my brass shells, resizing and roll crimping them. There’s over 250 of ‘em, not counting the RMCs, and I have a set of shell checking tools now, so I’m hoping that after getting all my brass shells full length sized, I’ll be able to just fix the ones that are found to be out of spec from now on.

Nothing good can come of this!!!

I’d like to see that thing run! I’d be interested to see how it turns..

CORRECTION!! It’s been going on for a few THOUSAND years!!

Just an update, since I’ve had a couple folks call and ask. Schoolmarm had her quarterly oncology checkup last Wednesday. She’s going on nine years cancer free and it has become sort of “run of the mill” because she’s done so well! Her doctor wasn’t happy with her kidney function numbers. He sent her for new blood tests and prescribed a blood transfusion to help get all her numbers back in order. No worries about the cancer, but all the meds and the recent bout with Covid has him a little concerned. She’s still doing well and nothing new has happened to set her back. I’m waiting on the home health nurse to come in and check out my foot and change the bandage. The doctor says that I am almost there, but I still can’t walk or wear a regular, (modified or otherwise) shoe. I have another appointment with the doctor Wednesday and I reckon that I’ll be attending the Kentucky State Match on crutches.
