When my Uncle Tommy passed one of the things his wife gave me was his favorite neck knife. California has a dumba$$ law against neck knives so I made this leather sheath. I wish I knew more about the knife but it’s about as vague as smart criminal in a interrogation room. Only marking is an etched hawk/eagle.

First PCP- Daystate Huntsman .177 in
1998.
Got my first non-toy Sheridan 5mm in 1968
Got my first ‘adult’ airgun Feinwerkbau break barrel in 1979.
It’s been quite a ride and number of PCP’s since then! Life long hobby.
PS I don’t count Daisy BB, Crosman 760…

My Big .510 Texan Got a paint job on My custom Free Barnett Crossbow Stock.. Got the carrier tube changed out .. Also had a wire separate on my Donny Fl Emperor causing accuracy problem s..I removed felt and screen and accuracy back.. Also cleaned barrel first time since hand lead lapping...
Welp... My new PC grenaded, the CPU started dying 3 weeks after I hooked it up.

Amazon sent me a new one and it seems to be working well.

I'm healthy, spring is here, we are getting our country back and the Starlings are back. I just got back from the dentist, I finally got my bridge and I'm heading out to the shop to work on some airguns.

There are quite a few i dont want in my country these days, from people from elsewhere to pure bread Danes i wish would leave.
But jack frost is absolutely persona non grats here
Mr.H
Been wondering what happened to you. Working any fun new mods?
Firewalker
The bottom fell out of the conversion market with the new parts becoming available and with the quick adapters disappearing.

I'm diversifying some and working on learning CAD software.

I'm around but studies have swallowed up much of spare time.

I'm also looking for design work so if you have an idea, let me know.
Weather is great, gave many of my air guns a good workout yesterday.
Will probably do the rest today.
So far, all of them holding air well, a few minor tweaks on the scopes.
Lots of holes in paper.

I also am enjoying nice weather!!!! I took out and shot all my airguns too....For me some tweaking and adjustments nessary... Can't wait for ground hogs to come out for spring!!!!!!
9 racks of ribs rubbed and refrigerated.
9lbs of chicken drumsticks to be brined and rubbed this morning.
then fire up the smoker, chunk mesquite charcoal and cherry wood chunks.
5-6 hours later the ribs will be done.

Refrigerator died, again, so all the meat defrosted while on ice in the cooler.
I dont refreeze meat so smoking it was the plan.
my neighbrs and the crew at the office will all be happy.
baked beans and coleslaw too, of course.
So it seem like there is a chance that the shot shed in the future will see more than 2 shooters.
So to accommodate this potential risk, we threw in a #3 rifle lane yesterday, and modified the 2 existing benches a little ( shooter cut-out enlarged a little )
it could also be the #1 pistol lane, will have to be turned into a full blow bench and then my friend can shoot his damn pistol from that

If shooting wasent such a small sport in this country, we would probably have to get a " NO vacancy " sign to put up.

2 "new " shooters will turn up tomorrow, though the wind far from playing ball, my friend will have to play the range manager CUZ i am at home for a while as i have family matters to attend to.

One of the new shooters is a lefty shooter, so we probably have to do something about that as after all we are nice folks in the shot shed.
The dedicated pistol lane will probably have to go the way of the Do do

This is a issue that was already in our minds, the plan all along was to make the left most lane a lefty one, but come to think of it then that shooter can not shoot at the right most longest range targets, pretty much just the 100 yard target and a few other shorter ones that is there or could be made.

The guy have the means and skills it seem to shoot very far, and i do think it is his main game.

Also the 55 M 20 foot container, we could get that moved to the back of the property, and all the SqMeters of dirt in the berm behind it, but that demand money as we would have to get someone with a digger to come drag the container there and move the dirt, so i assume 2-3 hours of Machine work,,,,, which also not come cheap in Denmark.

We will figure it out CUZ nothing else to do.
my pc crashed Sunday just on new PC trying to get all my stuff back .

Good luck. I feel you, man. I'm still trying to recover what the generator (that Helene made necessary) did to mine.
don't have a clue ?
woke uo to a dead keyboard and 1/2 of windows not working correctly ? Rebooted 2x, Ran cleaning software and even cleaned 183 bookmarks off . Still no change . went and took a shower and had breakfast and came back to a fully functional PC
perfect example of my unvast knowledge of how
PC works .

FWIW, a shower is mandatory to a clean computer! Just saying… 🫢🤔😂

I got tired of windows and the constant updates it forces... Waiting isn't my bag, man... So I looked around and found Linux Mint. It's free to download and installation is a breeze. I got a new laptop recently and installed it shortly after I first booted it. You really should check it out.

Windows is really pushing updates for windows 11, I have had a couple faulty updates do that to my computer and had to reupdate my computer fix the problem. I don't think my computer meets their requirements for win 11 which takes place this year. Mark
Pretty cold here this morning by lower Alabama standards. Trying to get out of the 20's and hit the predicted mark of 50 for today. Quick as daylight hits I'll head to the shop and get the woodstove fired up.
Treefrog
We're expecting it to hit 40 here today. Up from 13 overnight. Hoping that it will be warm enough to get some more wood cut up.
Rain ALL yesterday and thru the night , lot of roads closed (low water crossing type ) . woke up to slushy snow shower 31 F . only a dusting . Flash Flood warnings on my cell phone every 10 minutes , had to turn it off for the night .
Indoor shooting today , I am not going out there , but i did go out and fill the Bird feeder , Birds are eating about 2.5 pounds of seed a day . counted 6 pair of Cardinals close to the feeder at the same time .and two males on the feeder same time , never saw or heard of that b4 .

Had to do a motor swap on my Snapper Z360 zero turn. This is the second motor I put on this mower. I replaced the 18hp Kawasaki with a 23hp Kawasaki. The original motor was a 23hp B/S. I had to drill 2 of the 4 mounting holes in the frame plate.
Now I'm waiting on a hunk of 1 1/4" flex exhaust pipe because I had to relocate the muffler. That should be here today or tomorrow.

The flex pipe came and I got it cut and put on.. they only sent one U bolt so I have to wait for the other one to come tomorrow. Just putting the pipe and one on reduced the exhaust noise by 50%. The other one should reduce it much more. It will be ready for duty.
Avator
It's complete now. Runs and sounds great. I put new plugs in it.
Treefrog
That's great to hear! Congrats. I imagine that it will go a bit faster these days.

My log-splitter has 56 more CCs than my bike, but only a third of the horsepower. I guess two cylinders with four valves each and a 13,000 rpm redline make a difference.
Yeah got my big .510 Texan fixed today!!!! Changed out the Aluminum carrier tube..Screws stripped out..Can't wait to get to my other property and shoot 200 yards or close too...In time all good things come together...
Reclaiming Pure Soft Lead today.. I went to the local scrap yard and bought 80 lbs of pure roofing lead in sheets or rolls..Today im going cut in pieces melt down in dutch oven and make ignots with a used muffin pan..with inflation Lead is now $100.00 for 80 lbs pure lead in my area.. IF anyone wants to learn how to reclaim lead for casting ill post pics... So 80lbs of lead will make alot of .224 high B.C Airgun slugs
There is a lot of good and bad to be said about the people that dwell in the dark cold forrest in northern Scandinavia ( Finnes )
But when they set their mind to make a lead dust collector they are not joking around, i had to break out the .50 CAL cleaners and still only managed a half decent job.
On the + side i might get a rat or two tonight with indirect lead poisoning, CUZ daum the thing collected a bit

On the ? side, all i really found in there was dust, not any flakes ASO, so that’s a good thing i recon.

And IMO i thought it was not that long ago i cleaned it. but maybe i mistake it for my humo MOD30

Note to self need to buy some big bore brushes / bottle cleaners ASO.
