Good morning guys. Chad I'm sure glad you don't get to play with sharpies any more because you could get yourself hurt.

John, the muzzleloader was a bunch of parts plus a rough shaped preserved stock with basically the barrel channel cut. It has a 50 caliber barrel 42 inches long. It is what most folks would call a Kentucky rifle and it is flintlock. Most estimates are they take 120-150 hours to complete if you know what you are doing. I sorta know what I'm doing, but have made a bunch of mistakes as I've gone along. I've had it for years and decided it is time to complete it. I'll try to get some picture of it as it is right now.

I moved up here in 1979 and there is a guy here in town that I worked with when I started at the mine that was building a Bi-plane ,40 years later he still hasn't got a round to it and all he needs to do is put the skin over the frame. He said it could be done over a winter season, just hasn't decided what winter yet. ...

I think we can all relate to that list Chad.. I picture getting so much done, but then just drop to the couch and say "Maybe tomorrow".

Good evening guys. I went to KC today to pick up a car for a local dealer along with several other old farts. I drove a 2016 Escape back. It was a pretty nice little vehicle with 4x4 and ecoboost.

If I wore nothing but socks and a scarf-- there would be "shrinkage"

I don't mind if it is a large amount so long as it goes away quickly.
