How’d that turn out?

Many thanks for all the advice and encouragement. This job turned out to be easier than I was expecting. My little Tacoma is back together and running like new!

My wife was there to supervise.

I don’t have all our tomato and pepper plants set, but all seeds are planted.

Mine is in the ground. Now it is time for mother nature to do her part.

Replacing a bolt requires checking/adjusting headspace. THIS IS CRUCIAL! A gunsmith should be able to do it for you.

Change “before” to “instead of”, and we are on the same page.

Taxes you pay also goes up even without rate increases. You make more money, you pay more tax. That is the way it is and the way it should be. A rate increase simply means more government. Don’t you believe we already have quite enough government?

^^^This post^^^ You were educating me on why tax rates have to go up.

Yet in an earlier post, I find you advocating for tax increases.

We left “reasonable” a long time ago.

Well, let me ask it this way...How much is enough? Nearly half of my household income goes to one tax or another.

When I hunt squirrels with a shotgun, I use #5 or #6 shot. Gauge never really seems to matter but a full choke helps. You will find a few shot in the meat from time to time. If you missed it cleaning the squirrel, simply spit it out.

Tax revenue also increases every year. If you keep raising tax rates, you eventually get to 100%. What then?

Why can’t taxes remain the same forever?

Nashville can pare down a bunch on fiscal spending. Not everyone on the payroll collects trash or writes traffic tickets.

What was that the magical President once said? “Elections have consequences.”

Am I the only one who thought he looked like a Saint Bernard? Regardless, he was a great part of a great group.

If I remember correctly, the recommended Pyrodex charge for my 1859 copy exactly fills a chamber level full. Not sure if black powder is the same or if this is a coincidence. These hog legs are a blast to shoot, and surprisingly accurate, but cleaning them well enough they won’t later corrode is nearly impossible.

What isn’t good with bacon or fried in bacon grease?

Boil it in water until it wilts. Drain. (Some folks insist on adding fresh water and boiling again.) Fry it in bacon grease. Mix in eggs and salt to taste. I’ll pick a plastic grocery bag nearly full. Just get the tops. It’ll look like a lot, but will boil down to a manageable amount. After you boil it down, I heat about 3 tablespoons of bacon grease in a skillet and add the poke. Cook out what water didn’t drain out of it. I salt it liberally and scramble 3 eggs in it.

Reduced 4 pack of Mixed pork chops- $2.47 Pack of instant 4 cheese mashed potatoes- $.99 Poke salet- free...just go pick it! It doesn’t have to cost a lot to eat well.

I’d gladly swap you a cherry 94 for a model 70 in 257 Roberts.

It’s up now. If you like it like I do, now’s the time to go get it. I have a pot of it boiling down now in preparation for supper. If you aren’t sure how to cook it, just ask. I’ll tell you, and I’m sure there are several other members here who know how.

Let’s see ‘em, Earl. I love am old Winchester or 3! Are you buying, selling, or just bragging?
