And here as well. We got power, and coffee, so I'm good right now. LOL

We got 3-5" overall here, it rained a little bit late yesterday, and then turned to snow again after we went to bed. It's 21* now, and I can walk on water (frozen, but hey) but it gives way under my fat butt. It took the dog forever to find the right snowflake to drop her load on this morning, and was having some trouble in getting traction on the frozen surface. LOL I don't need to get out, and won't for a couple days, going to fix a pot roast with taters, carrots and onion in the crock pot soon.

Wife and I stepped outside to smoke and there were a couple of kids sledding (trying to anyways) in a neighbor's yard. Not really enough snow here to give a good go for sledding. I mentioned that I've got some big pieces of cardboard in the shed, and the wife gave me "killer eyes" again. LOL She said I had her permission, and I asked if she would come pick me up, and she just went back inside and said I could crawl back to the house. LOL

Went to the local Ingles a couple hours ago, milk and bread sections were decimated. Only milk left was the "skim milk", one guy picked up a gallon to put it in the buggy, the wife, ugh not skim milk, put it back. LOL The Family Dollar store had several gallon jugs of milk left, didn't look for anything else.

It's been a few years since my last purchase, but I had heard it was 9 months or longer from several people and sources, so I just put a reminder on my calendar to check on it after 8 months or so, I basically forgot about it during the time frame. Don't make it hard on yourself. LOL

IF you need a door, just allow for a couple hinges and a barrel type lock to secure it closed until you need to get inside the crawl space. I have a crawl space access door on the low side of my house, about 30" tall by 36 wide, easy for this old fart to crawl thru when needed after I get down on the ground (hard part ). Two hinges have held it in place with a barrel type lock for almost 20 yrs. It's made out of the wood siding material and painted, so it has held up well to the weather.

My brother has had both replacements, about 10 yrs apart as the Dr/surgeon would not do both at the same time. Brother had about 6 surgeries on each knee prior to the replacements during HS and later (torn cartilage, ligaments, etc), finally got one, then 10 yrs later the other. He did therapy and was tickled to get both done after suffering like he did. He never knew when one knee would "give out" just using the stairs, or walking on uneven ground. SIL had it done a year ago, she needs another but probably won't go thru it due to the after surgery BS she went thru with her self centered DA husband who just left her at home and went back to work the next day after she was discharged from the hospital. Wife went to care for her as he is totally worthless in these types of situations. Plus her entire family does not deal with pain well at all, even though they will endure whatever pain is associated with the issue of needing a replacement procedure. GL with your surgery, recovery, etc.

supposedly the spray foam is not attractive to chewing rodents, but no first hand experience on that. Can you build a treated wood frame and a piece of treated plywood to seal the hole, then insulate with some of the foam board, paint and your done, assuming you have the carpentry skills, etc. Picture one of those crawl space access doors you see on houses, just don't make it where it will open unless you need for it to open.

Congrats, I try to visit eastern OR annually for a sage rat shoot. LOL

I've never seen those particular style of container before, I agree the AL7 lid should just pop off with pressure buildup. The screw on lid on the Unique powder is the type I'm wondering about. Price tags are visible and just a sign of the times unfortunately. Ah, the good ole days. I've got some "more recent" purchases with my hand written notes where a pound of Varget or Bmark were $27/lb. from back in the 2017-20 range. LOL

I sorta kinda think the gunpowder is a "flammable propellent" as well. LOL I only remember seeing those rectangular shaped metal containers with screw on lids similar to what acetone/paint thinner can still be seen in the hardware stores. Those were the one's my ? was inquiring about.

Sorry, I don't have any except for the plastic bottles. I'm NOT that old. LOL

Does anybody know if the old metal cans that gunpowder came in years ago explode similar to a aerosol can or more similar to the current plastic bottles of current time.

Nothing more enjoyable than the "striped tomato" when I was growing up.

I have a RCBS LITE electronic powder, accurate with the powders I've used it with (Benchmark, Varget, a few other stick based versions, and CFE223). Accurate but I checked every nth load thrown with a beam scale. I use it for volume loading varmint shooting, not competitive matches.

Might try over on RFC. GL

I have a Samsung 65" TV which has been good along with a matching (?) Samsung sound bar, both have been trouble free for about 3 yrs, both came from WM.

I have 2 Silencerco cans, a Spectre and Harvester 30, I swap the Harvester 30 around on everything from 20 cal's up to 6BR, all threaded for 5/8-24. The RF Spectre is rated for 22lr-17hmr and works well . I got my thru TN Silencer over in Sevier County.

Wheeler has one similar to what's posted, and is a gods send IMO. Gets you on paper very quickly unless those action screw holes were NOT drilled in a straight line. LOL

I usually ignore most of the crap in the news.

Prayers for all those folks in the area. My area was under a watch until 3am Sunday but the Knoxville news stations were only talking about the Middle TN storms, so nothing bad up this way. Again, prayers for all the folks in Middle TN.

Suggest you look at the Feddersen barrels, I've got 2 10/22's with their barrels, very pleased. Both barrels are threaded and with a decent can, very quiet, just hear the action cycle.

I bought one of their small kits for one of my BRRF rifles as it had the size I needed, good quality and has been carried in my range bag for that rifle for a couple years now. No issues.

Wife says I seldom miss an opportunity to be one, and is totally surprised when I "behave". Original post was just detailing out his experience with a pushy potential buyer in a FS ad.

Well, I can see your name.. Just sayin'
