Nice!

Four weeks ago, one week after discharge from the hospital surviving Covid, I made 10#'s worth of 49/49/2 percent Pb/WW/Sn in a 4 cav MP 357 HP mold.  My worrying wife was peeved at me for pouring lead in the garage (as usual) with both doors wide open (as usual) with a fan behind me blowing forward to exhaust the fumes (as usual).

Sheesh. She works. I'm retired. I had been in hospital isolation for 10 days and sick 11 days before that. What's a guy with cabin fever "allowed" to do?

Ooh man GLAD YOUR OK Richard!! ♥️

Wife and I both had during same time!!!  Was quite a booger!!!  But we didnt need hospital. Wifes was minor, mine worse. Couple days was sketchy. But we survived.

I cast same way. Garage bug door wide and both back doors opes. Fan for when it gets smoky. (Wax time)

Yep. 3 weeks for me both times. First time a couple months before we were told about it and last time a few weeks back. This time not as bad butt still 3 weeks almost to the day. I think if it ever hits me again I’m grabbing the dewormer I have already...

I go in for a knee replacement tommarow. Ive got plenty to keep me busy sitting in a chair. Theres two large flat rate boxes of 556 brass that needs to be sized primer pockets swaged and then loaded. I know what you mean about the bordem of recovery. It can really get you in a rut and your much better off pushing yourself.
