Good Morning Douglas,dpe, Torpedoman, Forster, pab1, MT_Sourdough, Skunk, AtlLaw. Good morning everyone else.  Night before last came home and something had zapped the cable so off with the phone, broadband for the net and the tv.  Finally got it fixed late yesterday evening with a cable repair, replacing the RG6 with RG11 with an areal drop instead of the inground they had.

Yep, seems like it can be cold up here at times AtlLaw, but depending where your standing it can be colder in Alaska and sometimes warmer too    We don't call the National Guard out when we get burried in snow, we deal with it 

Oh the coffee this morning is just great from the ol coffee press, and it sure turns out better than the normal coffee pot version for some reason.  Anyway you all have a great day..... I'm hoping to get out and test a new pistol I got home yesterday

Good Morning every one. 30 degree's and clear blue skies here in Cut Bank.

Made my way to the upper level yesterday.  Boy that stair way up from the basement is narrow and tall...hard to believe that only 5 days ago I had my knee replaced.  Finally got a shower yesterday. Wow, did that feel good. I sure needed it, that dogs wouldn't even come near me. 

got a goood look at the leg yesterday the entire leg from hip to heeel is bruise.  A nice pretty blue back that would look good on a custom rifle.

I am chomping at the bit to get out and do some shooting...but it willl reguire a session at the reloading press first and I don't think I could do it yet.

While I was in Kalispell last week I got a shipment of 500 rounds of .303 British ammo from SAMCO for testing the book I am writing.  I need to sit down and start measuring up the Martini actions for the tests.   I still need to acquire two .450 Martini Actions  for the destruction tests.

Morning guys.  Currently 16 and sunny down here.  My son has his 18th b-day today.  Told him it was a special day as now he can go to jail for his misdeeds.

Hey Ernie, glad to see you found us.

Things are pretty slow and laid back here, just like where we live.

If any of you guys have any questions about how the block managment program works, Ernie is a good guy to ask. He has his land in the program.

Ernie gave us a lead on where he had to dump some bad grain last deer season.   We saw a nice big whitetail buck feeding on that pile...three weeks after season ended. Thanks fo rthge tip Ernie. 

Say i forgot to ask last night, hows the crucible coming.  Hopefully in a few weeks when I am back on my feet I be ready to make the furnace and we can cast some round ball.

It's still 47* here in Billings now.  Had been to Round Up to check on joining a new club up there.  Our Traditional Muzzle Loading club can't support its self, so are going to join a SASS club and still maintain pre-1840 shoots and camps.  Lord knows, I got enough levers and SA revolvers I can move about freely.  Several of them have expressed an intrest in what we do for camps and shoots as well.  Stopped on the way back at the local shooting area, crowded but didn't wait to long to get a place.  New Ruger 22 pistol with the fluted barrel shoots great as does the Sig Saur P6.  Have a great day guys.  DP
