Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I can get you the length and the weight the box says, I don’t have a scale that measures in grains.

 

I know right! He and the kids had a blast with some water guns, I got in on that too

 

That's what I need. That weight in grains on the box is what the bullet weight is.
I've just found that bullets of the same weight (there are many variables in bullet profiles) that have similar profiles can have very different factory Overall Lengths, whereas the load data in books give a minimum overall lengths.

 

I'm happy with my HF Daytona jack, its the low profile, high reach one that maxs out at 23.5" or 24.5". They are always excluded from every sale except a couple times a year HF sends out a anything coupon for 15% that gets them down to $160ish.

 

Cool. And dang it, I just missed that coupon last weekend. My son has a couple of cars now that are slammed to the ground and I cant get my regular floor jack under there. I improvised by driving it onto a 2x4 gives it just enough clearance.

 

It's a nice coupon to catch but it doesn't save that much really. And like I said, that coupon might come out twice a year.

 

I just got a email today and pretty sure those jacks were on sale. Have to look again.

 

U gotta explain...

 

Measured five bullets, 125 grain. 2.775”, 2.778”, 2.770”, 2.772”, 2.773”

 

Good Monday morning friends! Hope everyone had a great weekend, have a great day and a great week

 

Good morning creed and friends.
Thanks for the measurements.
Going to head over to a friends in a couple of hours and see what's up with his mower. He thinks a bearing on the deck might have seized up and he said smoked the belt.
nice and cool 58 degrees this morning!

 

First day back in the office after 3 wks of travel. I'm sure it'll be a cluster, and I fully expect the usual "we have a new guy" joke. On the upside, no more masks at work.

 

Good morning folks

 

New poll. I've never put money in the stock market, #1- I don't have any to play with. #2- I wouldn't know where to begin.

 

"StayinSTOCK" I shoulda known

 

401k, IRA's...all in the stock market. And you know what my kid does........

 

Invest his inheritance


Smart kid

 

Stock market? No.

529 college savings plans - every month since my oldest was 2.

We've rolled over a few 401ks.

Both the 401k and 529 are tied to the market and are doing pretty well. Our only interaction with them is deciding how much risk we're willing to take and the advisor takes it from there.

For actually jumping into the stock market myself, I wouldn't know where to start, either.

 

If he's depending on my money he's gonna starve.

 

My aunt has been in it for a while. Sometimes she does good, other times, not so much.
