Happy Nude Year to all!


Hello to all the newbs, too.


I got my new shifter bushings & such, but it was too darned cold to go outside & install them. My truck is shifting very poorly, expecially into 4th.


I did get some shooting in during the holidaze, at a place up off of Cabezon Road just south of San Ysidro (31 miles from the Chevron in Bernalillo). When the weather warms up, we should have a shooting meet up there; I'll supply guns & ammo. ( I have more ammo than I really should, probably.)

 

Pfft. One can never have too much.

 

Hopefully my floor won't cave in.


Do you enjoy the shooting sports, Blutus?

 

I have some more hand loads to run through my chronograph; I may try to get this done this weekend, if it's not too windy. I went out last Friday for this, but it was too windy that day (my stands won't stay up in gusty winds). Pretty freakin' cold out there, too.

 

I wonder why this dude is using a bolt-action rifle?

 

Because he's a bad ass!

 

for accuracy

 

Sweet! I will have to keep an eye out to see when you guys go out and join you. Get some tips! haha

 

I've ordered a magnetic license plate holder so I can use my bumper until I get the license plate bolt holes drilled. Anyone got advice on drilling 3/16" steel?

 

Just drill itat slow speeds and use cutting oil

 

I could do it for you but I won't be back to NM until sat, speaking of which it has been a great vaca so far! I've been in NH since the 23

 

Yup.. slow speeds, a good amount of pressure, cutting oil, cobalt (or similar high quality) drill bit, preferably a high torque drill, and some sort of punch and hammer to keep the bit in one spot. I've got everything if you want me to do it for you... I should get off work around 3pm tomorrow if then or the evening works for you. I'll shoot you a PM...

 

Silas, got your PM and replied.

I'm getting over a cold so this weekend might be better if you can do it then.

 

Just to rub it in, Silas and I are secretly planning fun mayhem.

 

Yes I do

 

im definitely down for a shooting meet! and you can never have enough ammo

no invite? i thought we were friends.........
