Lynn took the taxi duty this morning......
I do have HD Duty at noon - 1730.........

 

Evening Rod. Cloudy and near 50 all day here. I like it!

 

I always worry I may miss a meal!

It was a pretty good day for me! How about you?

Shaun how was commercial sales today?

Hope you had a good HD shift!

John and Steve I hope you had a wonderful day!

 

Evening Steve and sorry so late. Our internet went down about 1800 and just came back up.

 

Good morning WV. The coffee is ready.

 

Good morning Rod...all of WV...and...wandering reprobates. Another Saturday for your enjoyment...hope it's a good on!!!

 

Morning West Virginia, Rod, Ken and all who stop in to visit today.

 

Good Saturday #2 West Virginia, Denny, Ken, Shaun, Bud, Roy, John, Neil, Steve and all the crew wandering through.
Starting off cold this morning at 37° but I see the sun starting to come through the tree tops. Home alone again and not sure what I will get into today. I pulled the dies out to set up in a different press to load some 30-30 cases I have on hand. Fall cleaning of some part of the house. Dinner for honey tonight. Other than that I will play it by ear!

 

Howdy Rod. I need to get ready to make some more cartridges for the muskets both blanks and live rounds. Gotta make sure I have enough cartridge paper on hand to roll the cartridges. Also need to get ready to order some more lead shot. Getting harder to find the large caliber stuff so I think I am going to have to get a few molds and start collecting old wheel weights to start making my own.

 

Morning Rod, all WVa and friends ! Ya'll have a fun day in wild n' wonderful !

 

Good morning Shaun and Bud and have a wonderful day. Looking beautiful out with the sun but only 63° out.
Bud I am home alone for 10 hours - what could go wrong! LOL
Lead is getting harder to get. even the junk yards are holding and selling wheel weights at a price!
Even in my days of squirrel hunting with a 36 flint I never shot enough to be worth me making paper cartridges. But I know a bunch of BP shooters and cartridges reenactors that do. I have made a few for the giggles! mostly for the 50!

I tried to post pictures of dinner last night and it looks like that past didn't go. Had internet connection problems for a while.
So here it is again I hope!
Here are the pictures Roy
Sausage, Bell pepper, eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, fresh kale, onion and salt add pepper. Fired some taters for the side.
Very good!

 

I dont shoot enough at the range but since the larger caliber shot I need is getting harder to find I might have to start making my own. Thats the downside to shooting .69 and .72 caliber rounds.

 

Morning Rod, Shaun, Bud, Ken, Denny, Roy and anyone that I missed.

Also cool here to start the day with temps at the house at 31* but there was no frost. I should get up to around 60* for the high.

 

I have my great great uncles percussion from the Civil War and it is a 68. I have plenty of ***** and mini ***** for it. I have his powder horn and it has powder from around 1890 according to the Mass Spec analysis as well as what we believe to be 1880 mini *****. And yes I have fired a little of both and they shot just fine!

 

Good morning Neil may your Taco Tuesday be a good'n!

Started at 37° when I rolled out at 0800 and now up to 65°!
