Warden Callaway 4,833 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Waiting for the turkey to get on the table and family to show up, I've been keeping busy with projects. I picked up some 1/4" drive magnetic driver bits at a flea market 10 for $5.00. I epoxied the shanks into blocks. In this case walnut. I turned the upper on on my little metal lathe and put a coat of Tru-Oil on it earlier this morning. The lower is "before". I collected the memory card from a trail cam I placed to cover the carcass of a deer my son found dead. It took two videos to cover the traffic. Just got noticed son is on his way.

DocWard 5,620 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 My Thanksgiving morning projects were to go get propane for the grill, then to remove the bad heating element from the oven so we can at least use the stovetop. Next challenge will be to cook a turkey breast on the grill. Link to post Share on other sites
Badlands Bob #61228 1,939 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I drained the camper of water from our recent 2 week trip. Then filled all the traps with RV antifreeze. It's going down to 25 degrees on Monday. I've still got 4 guns to clean but I think I'll put that off until after the match on Saturday. Maybe its time for a nap. Link to post Share on other sites

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L 2,102 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I put a slow cooker pot of pinto beans on this morning. Took care of some internet stuff, then the wife and I took a ride in the Miata for a couple of hours. Stopped at a local city park and had a very light lunch while watching the fountain. Got home and got the turkey breast into the oven, should take about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to cook. Link to post Share on other sites

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 3,034 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Been having trouble with an older S&W K-10 where the bolt would rise before the cylinder turned, thus locking it up. I’ve never owned one these much less take it apart. Today I dove in and took it completely apart. No parts showed any wear etc. so I just put it back together. Now it works perfectly. No idea what I did, but I’m not complaining. At least now I know how to disassemble and reassemble one. A good day. Link to post Share on other sites

Texas Joker 328 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Did a .50 cent action job on a new Rossi 45. Took it all apart smoothed it out pre loaded the trigger spring and swapped the ejector spring after I put the turkey in. Functioned checks great. Made a bunch of difference on the rifle Link to post Share on other sites
