Still hand Bill

An age old problem. With off road vehicles they become whoops and are far bigger. Places where acceleration and braking happen make it worse.

Unfortunately I think people who own MG’s are incentivized to fight this. Doesn’t help get it passed. While I have little use for one, I wouldn’t mind having a few. Although the proliferation of FRT’s may make it somewhat irrelevant. Just saw a new design that is simply a new disconnecter. Simple and cheap to make.

From talking with my post master, the higher ups are continually trying to increase efficiency. They used to get 2 mail trucks per day, one in the AM with the new mail, and one in the pm to pick up what they collected. What was collected went to a hub and was distributed from there. Now they get one truck per day in AM. This truck drops off and picks up the previous days mail. This means everything takes one day longer by default. Not good for speed of service in a time when Amazon has changed the time to ship to be you can have it tomorrow. as others have mentioned the mail is now sorted at hubs that may be 100’s of miles from the source. I have watched a package that was going 1.5 hrs east of me, go 3 hrs south and west, then 4 hrs north, then go back east. The journey took almost a week. While hub and distribution does seem to be the way to handle mail/package delivery, usps doesn’t seem to have a good handle on it. I think part of the issue is the usps is not adapting well to the change in what’s shipped. People simply send less letters, envelopes and now it’s more packages. I know I send and receive few bills now. Maybe send 1 per month. Most are handled with electronic payments. I used to use usps for shipping as it was the only local option. Now ups has added a drop off location in town. I too use pirate ship and purchase/print labels at home, then just drop off shipments. Easy and cheaper.

I worked on my Remlin and it is pretty good after the work. Read Widder’s instructions and was able to slick it up and it runs well now. It would hardly cycle when I got it. If can get a good deal and do the work, it’s probably worth it.

The reasons I have heard for 38 super being popular was it allowed making major pf with less recoil than a 45, had more pressure so comps worked better, and it’s the same length as a 45 acp so feeds well in a 1911. Essentially it was a cartridge that fit the rules better. I expect that a rule change that let you do the same with 9mm would end the need for 38 super.

I like that they split the record of firearm transferred and personal data. Makes it harder to link the data than the current form.

It takes a little while. More common to do this in motorcycles and there used to be a bar in Daytona that had burn out stalls. I would guess there are videos of them doing burn outs until failure. I have seen it done and the tire takes a lot of abuse before letting go.

I have had filters rip when doing this method. Then you are really up a creek. I try to save it as a last resort when nothing else works.

We have several that will eat from the suet feeders and the seed feeders. They can be quite ravenous, a suet blocks lasts less than 24 hrs.

While possible, why not just get a threaded marlin or s&w to start and then find another as a SASS rifle. Might be cheaper than rebarreling and threading.

Correct atmospheric pressure changes the boiling point. You can “boil” water in a vacuum jar at room temp. Alcohol boils at 171 ish and at 6200 ft it’s 163 ish depending on the day. Don’t ask how I know, almost cost me a days run of vodka when a front came through.

My nephew at 5 or 6 when living in Germany and when asked where he was from, ie the other kid was German, he answered, that he was a Texan.

I have used a Henry golden boy, regular, and a durya tm22 mag fed. I didn’t like the golden boy as the stock angle is wrong for me. Too much drop. The regular Henry with a Widder soft stroke is great and better stock angle. The durya is decent and only 300. Also threaded so you can run a silencer.

Not against them, but the current trend seems to try and look like a teenager’s scribble pad. A bunch of random stuff doesn’t appeal to me. I read that Pete Davidson is getting most of his removed. Honestly looks a lot better.

I called in a coyote and hawk while turkey hunting this year. Not surprised someone called in a bobcat. A bit surprised it attacked.
