Plumbum et Circenses: July 2014
http://zercool.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Lead and circuses for the shooters of the world. Jul 29, 2014. Back when I started reloading, my "bench" was a 20" square butcher-block table. I had enough room for the press, powder measure, a reloading tray, and a scale if I was doing precision loads. All my powder was kept in a nearby cupboard, along with primers and bullets. Dies and brass and other small bits were kept in a small filing cabinet. It worked, mostly. I took things home and cut the following lengths of 2x4s:. 1 - 48.5". Then I screwed a...

Lead and circuses for the shooters of the world. Nov 17, 2014. Several of you reached out to lend an ear after my last post. It's appreciated. And, inevitably, there have been some good moments to help outweigh the unpleasant ones. Links to this post. Nov 14, 2014. A couple for the wish-list. My selection of actions and calibers is pretty well-rounded. but there are a couple holes I'd like to fill:. A Glock 19 . because good lord they're everywhere. And I can get Blue Label pricing.

Plumbum et Circenses: June 2014
http://zercool.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Lead and circuses for the shooters of the world. Jun 29, 2014. GfZ and I headed to the range today with targets in hand for the monthly ePostal match. That Brigid and Partner are running. Just as I was getting happy with the zero another group of shooters showed up at the next booth. and that's when things went downhill in a hurry. Junior was carrying his own rifle and not watching the muzzle, but he got it in the rack pretty promptly. Dad wasn't really paying attention to much of anything. Back on the o...

MArooned: What I Did On My Summer Vacation...
http://www.ma-rooned.com/2015/07/what-i-did-on-my-summer-vacation.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. What I Did On My Summer Vacation. I took the kids to King's Dominion. For three (well, 2.5) days of roller coaster fun. The Mrs. took them to WI to visit with family the previous week, and they had a great time playing at the water park with their cousins and visiting the county fair. This week they spent the first half riding roller coasters and going on water rides. Lastly, though, is the most modern roller coaster we went on:. The Intimidator. An homage to Dale Earnhardt,...

Plumbum et Circenses: February 2015
http://zercool.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Lead and circuses for the shooters of the world. Feb 12, 2015. After the dismal trip to the state-run range a few weeks ago, I was eager to try somewhere new. I made time this morning to head down to Frontier Justice. And check things out. It's a bit of a drive and will be even further from the house we're buying, but for an occasional trip? The second range is the "pistol" range. 25yd, ditto the caliber and ammo restrictions. The third range, which I ended up on, is the "tactical" range. Also 25yd, ...

Lead and circuses for the shooters of the world. Aug 27, 2014. Another Freedom Rifle complete:. I stuck this on the Pale Horse lower for the picture, because it adds one more naughty over the lower it's actually on. Let's count the New York no-no's:. Bayonet lug (with Ontario M7 sticker). All of these things are E- and D- felonies. Crimes with lower classifications include (penal code section):. Luring a child (120.70). Possessing an obscene performance by a child (263.11). Links to this post. Something ...

Plumbum et Circenses: December 2014
http://zercool.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Lead and circuses for the shooters of the world. Dec 25, 2014. Ruger Charger out again. One of my "want" guns that was never available in NY got shelved by Ruger before I moved to a free state. Now they've re-released it. BAD case of the wants. Especially the takedown model. Put on an Ergo grip, drop in a BX-25 trigger, thread the Sparrow on the front . that'll be a SWEET plinker. Links to this post. Dec 23, 2014. The strong contender mentioned in the last post. Be replaced prior to closing. So we walked...

MArooned: Blog Dinner Update...
http://www.ma-rooned.com/2015/05/blog-dinner-update.html
Friday, May 15, 2015. Had lunch with Old NFO. Yesterday, and he. Lit a fire under me. Reminded me that we needed to move on the blog dinner. We discussed possible dates, and one that worked for both of us was Saturday, June 6th. That's a little over three weeks, so it should be enough advance warning. Now, Murphy's Law. It's been too long - let's eat! The food was great, the company even better, so Im definitely up for it. May 15, 2015 at 7:40 PM. May 15, 2015 at 7:56 PM. May 15, 2015 at 9:09 PM. THE Wif...

MArooned: Friday Car Pr0n #87
http://www.ma-rooned.com/2015/07/friday-car-pr0n-87.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. Friday Car Pr0n #87. We're getting there. After today, only two more entries in the "cars introduced in the 1980s" category. That's the good news. The bad news is that the cars introduced in the 1990s weren't much better than the cars of the 1980s. However, some introductions were pretty damn amazing. Just wait until next week, though. It would be interesting to see how it compares to some new production cars. July 10, 2015 at 2:25 PM. ROTF, I remember that from C&D :-). Across the...

MArooned: Friday Car Pr0n #86
http://www.ma-rooned.com/2015/07/friday-car-pr0n-86.html
Friday, July 3, 2015. Friday Car Pr0n #86. Almost there, folks; only three years left in the '80s. Mom sold her Mercury Grand Marquis and bought a Mercury Sable. The Sable was a wonderful car for her and no problems with the transmission. It was good on gas and drove well in the winter. Ford did a good job, I feel, with the Taurus and Sable. July 3, 2015 at 10:53 AM. Reliability does have value. July 3, 2015 at 11:24 AM. July 3, 2015 at 3:25 PM. Roommate some years ago had one of those. It ate the A/...
