OK, I back for a short while. thanks for the welcome. Again, I pulled an allnighter and I think that I may terminally deranged. since I have been retired, I have about 4-5 gun forums and 1 scambaiting forum that I go to and let me tell you you guys are addictive.
I have quite a collection that I have amassed over the years and I'm now just starting back into enjoying them. the single shots are addictive--I really enjoy them, especially the fact that I slow down my shooting when at the range, which allows me to enjoy the sport more over a longer period of time.
. When I went out to the storage shed I found a large stash of reloading goodies that I had forgotten. Whooha. BUT, 95% of it was Jacketed stuff. At my age I'm really more into the cast game. Just the same it is nice to have all the condom stuff if I "need" it. Cast is just more fun to me. Had a really nice thing happen to me the other day-- Just happened to stop a yard sale and found a box of molds. Asked the lady running the sale what she wanted for them, not anticipating that I would start a tirade! All she wanted to do was complain about the "lazy Ba**ard" that she had to put up with while he was alive and all that he wanted to do was reload and shoot. I commiserated with her for about 20 minutes and when she finally ran out of steam, asked again what she needed for them. 12 molds ---------10.00
. Don't how I did it, but did manage to maintain a straight face. Looked at them for a few seconds, maybe 30, and mentioned that several of the "iron" molds were pretty rusty. She said "alright--what the h3ll--gimme 5.00 bucks and take the g**dam box and get it out of my sight". Yes, ma'am. Here's 5.00, ma'am. I'll take them out of your sight right now, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am. And brother did I haul butt fast before she could change her mind. On the way home I said a prayer to God for him and explained to God that he probably died just to get away from her and to take good care of him.
The molds are fairly rusty, but I do think that they can be brought back into shape. I have patience. It will give me a large amount of pleasure to resurrect these babies. I haven't taken a good look yet as to what I have but will enjoy it when I do. I have this perverse habit of forcing myself NOT to immediately jump into what I find when I get a good deal. Anticipation--it's sort like sex--waiting and thinking about it just builds the pleasure
Course, mostly memories
Had a really good day. Woke up and realized I was still breathing and "The Wife" (cat) was in a good mood and all lovey (she got fed faster because of it) and THEN found all those molds. AND to top all off--the wonderful AGONY OF EXPECTATION
. Have a Blessed Great Day, ya'll
