KPD posted some drone pictures. It's too bad we probably won't know where this came from. It might have been a cool story.

I’ll be damned if that guy wasn’t there!!! I thought about you, but sadly, my wife wasn’t having any part of me making a pic. He was on the front row and danced his ass off the entire show. Bad as I hate to admit it, it was a pretty good show.

I can help y'all with this... First a bit of background; about 60 years or so ago, dynamite was a normal staple for construction guys, farmers, loggers most everywhere. Ya could buy dynamite at the hardware store a long with fuses n caps. When I wuz a young boy and early teen, a friend of mine's dad regularly kept a case or two of dynamite around to break rocks and shoot stumps as needed in his small excavating business. One of my first jobs was drilling and helping to shoot rocky excavations for a small road building contractor. That was in the mid sixties. We had portable " magazines " not unlike the one described in the article. We kept the dynamite and caps separate, but the dynamite was almost always housed in a steel box magazine which sounds exactly like what the squalling is about. I've handled and played with dynamite lotsa times as both a boy and worked with it as a young man in the construction trade. I'ma thinkin someone found an old " magazine " and brought it to the recycle center. I'ma also guessin the " owners " are long since gone home to their reward and are resting from their earthly labors, abandoning their magazine. That said, dynamite is not particularly dangerous when not struck directly ( as with a sledge hammer ) or shocked with a blasting cap. I've dropped a many a stick of 3 1/2 inch diameter " powder " as we called it down 30 or 40 foot blast holes in rock and I'm still here. Dynamite will burn if split open like a hot dog( that's how we used ta get rid of old dynamite ). Dynamite generally deteriorates by " sweating " out droplets of nitroglycerin. If stored in a cool place, it never goes bad. The " sweating " makes the dynamite more sensitive because the nitro is separating from the filler materials. That can be dangerous, but is manageable. All the hand wringing about dynamite and prilled ( diesel fuel mixed ) ammonium nitrate and the " chain of custody and licensing of explosives " came, as I remember, from the Terrorist/ Kansas City bombing incident. Dynamite n prilled ammonium nitrate now can only be handled by " licensed " and certified blasting contractors with a requirement of 100 percent traceability for the explosives. It wasn't always that way though. blasting leroy.. One time " powder monkey "... Now retired... With all my digits n appendages.

I've been married for 24 years to the same woman. We've never been married to anyone else. We don't go on vacations together. She loves the beach. Every beach. I absolutely hate everything about the beach. I'm miserable the entire time I'm in the heat and sand. If I'm going to be hot and dirty, I better be making $1000 a day. On the flip side, my Wife wouldn't in a million years go hunting for hogs in Texas. It's completely alien to her as to why someone would stay up all night with snakes and hogs. I think it's insane to force her to go. She, at first thought I should go to the beach regardless. I explained it to her and being who she is, gave me the benefit of a doubt..... She loves it. She realized I'd be miserable and she wouldn't have fun because of that. Taking her mother, my mother, her sister, and what ever kids want to go makes for a fantastic...drama free vacation. I take take vacations to places she would never want to go and I have a blast. Her friend and co-workers at first say it's horrible....wrong.... My friends want to know how I pulled it off. In the end her friends love the idea, but their husband's would never let them out of their sight. We do try to find things we can do with the whole family. We have a trip to fall creek falls coming up. We well go to the mountains every few years, but She will do 2 to 3 trips a year for a week at a time(She's in Turks and Caicos at the moment) I do 5 to 6 for a couple of days at a time. I have never talked to anyone that does this. Are we an enigma? Would you live your life like this? None of the people I work with would do this and think I'm crazy (divorce, alcoholism, and self destruction is crazy high in my field dueto stress). We've literally been on 5 vacations together including our honeymoon. I'm taking care of the younger kids so she can take my oldest Daughter on a trip. I'll be taking the younger kids kayaking while she's gone. Is there something odd you do in your marriage that people don't understand that works for you?

Selling a 1898 Krag-Jorgensen rifle. Chambered in the venerable .30-40 Krag cartridge. Someone sporterized it at some point, but did a fine job of things. The rear leaf sight was removed and a Lyman peep sight was added at the rear of the receiver. The old sling swivel was also removed and patched quite nicely. The rifling is still strong and will be even stronger after a good cleaning (there's a fair amount of copper fouling in the grooves). Most importantly, though, is that the action has that smooth-as-butter feel that the Krags are well known for. The rifle is light weight and well balanced for what it is. This would make a heck of a deer gun Asking 450. Would consider trades for .32ACP pistols. I'd also consider SxS or O/U shotguns in 12ga. Show me what you got F2F meetup in Goodlettsville, Hendersonville, White House, Gallatin, or Portland. Any further out and y'all will have to come my way

Truly one of the greatest stories ever told.

Garufa... I simply can't come up with a story as great as Ole Jimmy's..! It's fantastic Brother...!!! We did; however have a shot go bad right about half way between the crossover bridge to the UT AG campus and the light at 23 d street n Cumberland AVE in the UT area about 1965 or so. We shot some boulders in a cut we were excavating to boulevard 23 d Street that were poorly covered. We broke a bunch of glass out of the old AG campus greenhouse and scared a poor gardener almost to death who was working at one of the stately old houses that were about a block east of 23 d Street. We searched and notified everyone in the area about the blast in the neighborhood prior to setting it off and closing the road, but evidently the ole guy was forgotten by the lady he worked for. I'ma guessin he was asleep in a garden shed or small greenhouse right next to the excavation when the blast went off. The blast evidently scared him so bad he ran home and we couldn't find him, nor could his employtress. She panicked n swore we blew him up, and she was a retired city judge's wife; so we were concerned. We also cracked a bunch of window glass in her house from the shock wave of the blast. As the rocks rained down, a long with the dust; we were converged upon by Knoxville City Police, UT officials of various flavors, and the Trainmaster of the old L&N ( now CSX ) West Knoxville yard. The Trainmaster was livid and wuz swearing horrible epithets and ordering us to get the " damned rocks off the track so he could run trains ". At the same time, the Knoxville Police wanted to know " who the hell was in charge " so I fingered my ole boss who was the powderman in charge and the project superintendent. He had actually set the shot off. We were all severely threatened by everyone, called everything but a " Child of God ", our heritage was questioned, and we were all thoroughly cursed in the process of all this. I made myself scarce and went to cleaning rocks off the tracks. Mista John, the powderman and job superintendent, continued to catch hell hell from everybody; including our company owner and the insurance company that wrote our blasting insurance. We were all thoroughly threatened and told to clean this mess up, while our owner worked valiantly to keep us all from being lynched on the spot. The Gardner was found at his home about a week later, but he refused to come back to work for his last until we finished our project. It wuz, indeed, a helluva sight. " Powder monkey " leroy... Now retired...

Things have progressed a little more. I fabbed my seat pan, contoured to the rear fender, & got it straight to the upholsterer. Also installed my remote front brake master cylinder. Another head scratcher... I also got the regulator/rectifier mounted under the frame & plumbed in the rear brake. Pretty much all that's left to do now is mount the battery tray & figure out a breaker panel (there's only 2), fabricate a license plate mount & then it can be stripped for powder coat & paint (hopefully) but that'll have to wait a few weeks until I'm back from Wyoming. Obviously, THAT'S the time when I figure it what I forgot, then go through the entire 'put it back together, fix it, strip it, DAMMIT, put it back together, fix it, re-strip it, $@**%!!!ing THING!, put it back together, fix it, re-re-strip it' cycle of torture occurs.

Update from KPD UPDATE: Earlier this morning, an explosive ordnance robot was deployed to get a sample of the suspected explosives found inside of a box at CMC Recycling on Thursday afternoon. The sample tested positive for ammonium nitrate, as confirmed by lab scientists at Quantico, which is consistent with dynamite. Currently, Bomb Squad technicians are actively working to remove the dynamite from the box and safely dispose of it. In order to dispose of dynamite, technicians will methodically remove it from the box, douse the dynamite in diesel fuel, and burn it. Those efforts are being supported by the Knox County Sheriff’s Office and Metro Nashville Police Department Bomb Squads, including advanced MNPD robotic equipment. It was initially reported that the box contained around 200 sticks of dynamite. Technicians have not yet verified how many pieces of dynamite are in the box. There is no evidence to suggest that the box was left on the site maliciously or with criminal intent. CMC Recycling is a metal recycling facility that purchases material to be salvaged. The box, which was locked and unmarked, was on the site for at least several days. On Thursday, CMC Recycling was using a torch to salvage the box when they unintentionally set the box on fire and discovered the dynamite. The box is no longer smoldering or emitting smoke. The evacuation zone will remain in place until Bomb Squad technicians have completely disposed of the contents of the box and it is deemed safe to return to the area. That work is expected to continue into tonight and potentially into tomorrow morning.

Hank Jr. always worked for the gals in my circle.

This is Dixie. Sadly had to put her down in May, cancerous tumor came back in her foot (had one removed back in 2018), and she was struggling physically. She would have been 13 next month. We got her a month after being married, she was around for so many stages of life, birth of 4 kids and several moves. She was kind of dumb and silly, but the sweetest dog in the world. Never showed an ounce of aggression her entire time on earth. It’s funny, she came from a duck hunting blood line but was afraid of the water and gun shy. She was my best friend other than my wife.

I have stopped buying striker guns and have gotten into revolvers and hammer-fired semi-autos. I like striker guns but I have plenty and as a matter of fact , I'm sure you've seen me selling off my extra striker guns that I just don't use. Well , I stopped at a pawn shop that I haven't been to in a while and saw an older Glock 19. I handled it and looked it over. Like most Pawn Shops , they have the trigger-locks so that you can't try the action to make sure all is working in good order. They wouldn't let me take it off to try it so I left. I gave it a day and then returned a day later to look further. I ended up buying it and glad I did. The serial number prefix is SZ which shows that it was made in 1991 which is my high school graduation date ! Plus that means it's 33 years old. I got home and it seems like it has had maybe 300 rds or less through it. It even has the uncaptured guide rod and spring unlike the present day Glocks which are captured. The magazine is the same age and there is no damage nor marks on the base that show it being used and dropped like we do in training. I am very happy and glad it was still there. It appears that heavy duty Glock collectors buy up these uncaptured springs and guide rod used and pay a hefty price. Anyways , The innards are black colored which mean that they haven't had the "upgrade" that GLock offered. I called Glock and the technician said that they'd replace them for free but if mine was working great and in very good shape that he would "keep it the way it was" hinting around that I should keep it stock. Which I will. I will shoot it more but if it aint' broke , I ain't fixing it. Here is some pictures. I like it a lot more than the newer stuff coming out. Plus I like the old "cut-out" in the front of the magwell to strip out stuck mags if you ever needed too. I see the newer aged Glock owners complaining about this , but I have always loved it !

It’s actually not. It holds quite a bit of power over 22mag. People say this all the time and it’s just not true. Of the several TC 10” Contender barrels I have, one is a 22mag and one is a 5.7x28. I’ve shot all sorts of critters with both of them. The 5.7 is quite a bit more. My 5.7 barrel gets dang near on average 400 fps more in the same length versus 22mag. That’s not “basically overpriced 22mag”.

Bear in mind that you'll need a good supply of projectiles, powder and primers. Seeing how difficult it is to obtain primers, in particular, you should be sure that you have a committed supplier. A second thing to consider is liability insurance. It might make sense to talk to an insurer before committing too much time and money. Good luck with your project!

Hornady Oneshot for me-

I bought one a while back that’s already is shortened and has had a lot of custom work.

@leroy Do you have any good stories from back in the dyn-o-mite days like old Jimmy Ferris?
