  1. It was pretty cool up here. That little solar flare was at about 7 o'clock up here. The light got kinda bronze color until totality, then dark and cold. It was amazing how light it stayed right up to totality. The stars were neat too. There was dog with us that when it got to about three quarters sat down with it's back to it until it started getting light again. Was a great experience for us even with the unbelievable traffic.

  2. Ellie & I went up to Northern VT to see it! It was pretty dang neat! Traffic not so much. Took us 3 1/2 hours to get home! Normally an hour and a half. Took an hour and forty to go 7 miles:rolleyes:, but was worth it!

    I've used Titewad for years as well and it works great.  I load light recoiling 3/4 oz loads in Win AA hulls with 209 primers and Claybuster CB0175-12 pink wads.  I love shooting the shells and so does 110-lb Bullion Rose and they are more than adequate for every KD we've shot at.  I'll check the MEC bushing in my 9000GN tomorrow for you.

    Weigh it if you have a chance,please. Might work for Ellie.

  4. Funniest thing I saw at a lake boat launch...

    2 black guys show up towing a brand new boat with a Cadillac. Took them forever and a day to get it backed down the ramp zig zaging and trying and trying! Finally to the water and manage to unload the boat which started to float away! Didn't have a line on the bow. One guy managed to hold on to it, the other started unloading the water ski equipment which was still in the packages. Finally moved the car and trailer, I should've gone and watched him park it!

    Then he walks back and unpacks the ski equipment and puts it on right there at the ramp! The other guy managed to hook up the tow rope and gets the boat started and sorta backed into the ramp area. Here's the hysterical part... Rope is quite slack, guy on skis has the handle sorta wrapped around his arms/hands. The guy in the boat says " Is you ready skiah?". At which point he slams the throttle forward, yanking the guy right out of the skis and out onto the lake bouncing his tangled buddy off of the moorings etc and didn't look back for a hundred yards!!! :D

    That was back in the late 70s, I still pee myself to this day in remembrance!!

    I'll never forget "Is you ready skiah" :lol:

    I've ordered stuff from Amazon and it was shipped via UPS.  I get a message that the package was delivered but nothing showed up at the house.  Apparently, UPS has a deal with the USPS to do the last leg of the delivery on small packages.  It shows that the package was delivered but actually, they just turned it over to the post office.  It has caused a few anxious moments until I learned to just be patient.  Not my strong suit.

    They call it "Smart post" IIRC

    Knew a guy who swears he saw the guides wife boiling diapers in the same kettle she was using the night before to cook their supper at elk camp.     Makes you wonder  huh            GW

    She was making a Poo Poo platter for tonight.

    A sad day today, but I’d say sixteen years of traveling with her and all of her hijinks and lovable companionship are what I would call a monster win!  
     

    Wouldn’t you??

    You bet I would. We've been fortunate getting full lifetimes from our fur kids as well .:wub:
