  1. I've got to say my new GMC Denali half ton pulls my 30' camper like it wasn't even back there and averages 13-16 mpg with the 3.0 diesel. My 3/4 ton F-250 super duty, struggled to tow it at 6 mpg. And screaming all the time. Could barely maintain 65 on a hill. The GMC, set cruise at 69, turn on super cruise and enjoy your coffee😊 No sway or porpoiseing. Just an enjoyable trip.

  2. EH, it's only 4 boxes. Especially if you can sell it all in one fell swoop! I'd keep it a little under 70# each.

     

    Remember it's the Post Office that decided the 70# Flat rate! They'll probably help ya schlep them in.

    What is it about BP that makes the carbon come off so easily? 

    It burns it off, I guess! It's not that it comes off easy, it's not there anymore!

    Considering I clean the rings off the front of the cylinder a couple times per season, it is clean in less than a minute or so with the brass toothbrush and gun cleaner. First stage they're back!!

    I tried a brass Brillo pad and a brass brush from my cleaning kit neither touched the residue. The only thing that got it to come off was a lot of elbow grease. 

    Be careful of the Brillo pads. Some are just plated steel. Check with a magnet.

  5. Welcome aboard hunter84.

    This is a great family sport for all of you to enjoy. As said already get out to some matches and try guns and leather to see what you and the young'uns like. It'll give you a good grasp on belt sizes as well. Cowpoke in general will be happy to let you try their gear and help you get started. It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on🤣. Hang on for the addiction. You'll probably find that a 12ga will have less felt recoil and easy to load light as well.

    Enjoy the whole process!

    I’ve ruined a couple of pans when boiling eggs! I’d fall asleep and woke up and heard popping noises! Luckily I only boiled 4 eggs at a time. I’m very careful now🙄

    When I first met Ellie, she offered to hard boil me some eggs. She cracked them into a pan of water and left them to boil. Had to throw out the pan!

  7. I use M-pro 7 gun cleaner and a light application of a bronze brush. I use the Mother's once a year or so on the rest just to remove the light scratches, but keep in mind it is removing metal, even if microscopic! The carbon around the barrel is near impossible to completely remove. You just can't get at it. Do a match with black powder and it will be all gone, including the front of the cylinder. I do that every spring. I did mine quick the other day, I'll show you the results this weekend. Be careful with the brushes on blued guns. Stainless is pretty easy comparatively.

    I don't blame you. Climbing a pole that's been spiked 200 times invites blood.... lot's of blood and lots of picking big splinters out of one's body.

     

    Thanks but no....Hell No.

    I've only cut out once and didn't go far due to the instant bear hug! Got blown off one once at about 8' in a thunderstorm! Landed on muddy grass. I've had to climb 2 that a tech earlier took a ride down, pieces of clothing and flesh on them there giant splinters. The old blackjack poles left a splinter that really, really stings. Don't miss it one little bit. Oh had a pole break at the ground once when I was up there😮, fortunately the drops to the building held it till I got down. Climbing them ice covered is a treat! 🤨 Oh the nostalgia!!

  9. Decades ago we were hosting Easter dinner with the family. The timer went off on the oven indicating the ham was done. Poor Ellie opened the oven only to discover the ham was still in the refrigerator!! The veggies, salad and potatoes were excellent!!
