Yul Lose

I delivered newspapers for the Rocky Mountain News and The Denver Post, one was a morning paper the other was after school. They always had a promotion going on for stuff you could win and I won a combination record player and 8 track tape machine. My first album was Merl Haggard, Okie From Muskogee.

There’s a good looking blond behind home plate and she’s been drinking tall cans of beer the entire game, hope she isn’t driving.

Surprisingly there are still quite a few fans there.

Mrs. Lose and I are having a debate. I say beer sales are higher in a blow out like this because fans want to drown their sorrows and she says they’re lower because the fans feel bad about wasting their money on tickets and don’t want to waste anymore money on high priced beer.

19-0 now.

Mrs. Lose didn’t think that was funny and starving the cat was even less funny. I’ve tried to tell her that if you don’t put anything in the cat nothing will come out.

That’s how we do the monthly medication and it’s pretty wild, adding a shaver into the mix takes it to another level. She won’t let me near her anymore.

Yep. She’s got me pretty good a few times when I’m putting the flea/tick medicine on.

We have this cat named Fluffy and as she’s gotten older she’s gotten lazier in her grooming habits, I guess you’d call it. Quite regularly anymore and usually when we have visitors she shows up to be petted and lo and behold she has a “clingon”. Sunday evening at a family dinner it happened again. I suggested a couple of fixes like let the coyotes take care of it or stop feeding her and my wife didn’t care for those ideas. So she thinks we should shave the cats a$$ and that would make it easier for the cat to clean itself. This cat is hard enough to manage when you’re trying to remove a clingon or put the monthly flea/tick medication on it and shaving its behind might be a real rodeo. So the question is have any of you run into this problem with a cats hygiene failure and if so how did you handle it?

Don’t buy one. I doubt Pedersoli had CAS in mind when they designed and built this Lightning model. It appeals to me and will find its way into my hands someday.

N Millions of those employed in the technology field will be replaced by AI, or so I’m told by someone who’s in the path of the AI takeover. He jokingly (not so) said he’s going to become a hacker full time instead of part time.

Hope things workout. Come back soon.

I believe that’s the place I first met you at a couple of years ago.

Just got my Bordertown notice that I’m in. Who else is going?

I’ve always wanted a Gatling gun. The one that Battery Gunworks builds I’ve slobbered over for years. Tippman builds a 9mm Gatling gun and I’ve nearly worked out a trade of a Gatling gun for a gun cart for one a couple of times but none of the ranges out here will let me shoot one. So I guess having a Gatling gun out here would be like being married to a beautiful woman that you could look at but never do anything else.

Not his SASS alias.

Might want to use a dry media or wet tumbler to clean your brass instead of an ultrasonic cleaner. They both do a better job of cleaning brass than an ultrasonic cleaner does.

A craftsman for sure and a real nice man. He built this set of grips and I was fortunate enough to be able to meet him and pick them up when I was up there on a hunting trip. Rest in peace, Patrick.

Your second thought was Mrs. Loses first thought. I guess it’s stored in a glass display case in France.

I like to search Pinterest for interesting woodworking pieces. Here’s one that I found this morning. It ships from France so I’d imagine shipping will be $20k or more. It was built in the 1980’s. The more I study it the more I see. If those joints that Subdeacon Joe posted the other day make your head hurt this thing might make it explode.

Since I’m not building gun carts anymore I’ve got lots of time on my hands and my oldest daughter showed me a picture of a table that she liked so I studied up on what a trestle or farm table is. There are hundreds of different types on Pinterest and she picked out one design that she liked and bought the first batch of lumber. I was in a quandary on how I was going to do a lot of the hidden joinery and talked with a few woodworkers that have high praise for the Festool DR700 XL Domino joiner. I watched one in action and lots of YouTube videos and made the leap and bought one. It’s pretty pricey but for this table it’s a great tool and the domino joinery is very strong. Mrs. Lose was out in the shop checking my progress on the table and I showed her the Domino joiner in action and now she wants me to build a table just like the one that I’m building for my daughter to replace our 40 year+ dining table. I told her that if I built a new table that she’d have to spring for the Festool dust collector because the Domino joiner really creates the sawdust. The one picture is of the leg bases with the Domino pockets cut and then with the Dominos installed dry, no glue. The one picture is of one of the leg posts with the domino pockets cut. There are a couple of pictures of the dry fitted leg assemblies also.

I’ve always wanted to visit Major League Baseball parks in other cities and my youngest son and I have been talking about maybe hitting half of them in 2026 and the remainder in 2027. He says he found an app that will help plan the trips and ensure that there’s a game when you’re there. Have any of you done anything like this? I’ve been to Candlestick in San Francisco but it’s gone now and I’ve been to Angels Stadium in Anaheim and Dodger Stadium in L.A. the park in Phoenix where the D Backs play, Coors field in Denver and the Kingdome in Seattle but it’s gone now too. Petco Park in San Diego numerous times. Wrigley Field, Camden Yards, Fenway Park in Boston and Miller Park in Milwaukee look like fun parks to visit too.

Great travel documentary, Scout. Keep them coming. Places I’d like to visit someday but likely never will.

The copper buffalo nickle buttons are 21mm+ and a 21mm Forstner bit is a little tight but a little light sanding with 120 grit paper on a sanding block makes for a very nice fit. If you need any additional info PM me and I’ll try to help you out.

A larger buffalo nickel button on a lid lift. Some of these would also fit on Vaquero grip panels also, a little larger but they would fit and look pretty good.
