Well I could lay off a few things

 

Morning all

 

Good morning everybody!

 

What’s the fun in that.
I have a tasty meal at night and walk/run an extra 15 min on the treadmill the next day to compensate..
Sometimes it’s worth it. Lol

 

I’m planning a hike this weekend if the weather cooperates. So I can load up on Italian after my ride.

 

Our neighbor has a pond, and a lot of ducks and other birds that live in the area, most likely wild and not pets. My wife started feeding the ducks a few weeks back, and over last weekend, we noticed one of the Mallards recently had a good crop of babies. She had 9 with her on Sunday, yesterday we only saw 4 or 5....

 

Good Morning

Awesome weather here , 70° with a High temp of 85° . Sitting outside enjoying my morning coffee


Have an Awesome day !!!!

Our electric charger is solar powered as well. Got the idea from her folks that have had good luck with same unit.

Not doing much on my respite, so I thought I’d share this that I recorded today:

Nice job

 

At least he’s not ugly…

 

Well I am hitting 50% here and did again. Was going to ask if you had a Top Secret clearance in the AF at one time as 2 different FFL dealers told me that can be a red flag and why I often get pending further review. But given that you aren't having any issues in TN I'm going with it is based on the Database program and someone in Wa. with a similar name. It is written by the cheapest bidder after all...

Italy forgot to the upgrade the wood that I ordered. So got a text for me to pick out one from 4 blanks



I told them #2 because I am sucker for fiddleback. #1 could be nice if I could see the other side. And forearm blank. So went with the safe bet.

 

I had a secret clearance, but I think it was a dupe or similar name issue. My name is pretty common, I had trouble the first time I got my driver's license in WA as well.

I'd have gone 1,2,4,3 in preference. With the right stain, they will all look good but 1 & 2 will look awesome!

 

Depending when I get the wood most likely first thing I will do is strip it. I'm a big fan of Art's The Original Herter's Formula Stock Filler but don't trust anyone else to do it LOL. 2 light coats makes fiddleback or any other wood grain just pop without being muddy.

And of course an oil finish on top.

 

I would have gone with 3, there is just a beautiful potential in that dark patch on the base.

 

Howdy folks! @Cold Iron - #1 was the most appealing to me, but like you said- without seeing the other side there's no way to know if the burl was all the way through.

I'm about to get outside and drain the coolant from the GMC and see if I can get the intake torn off tonight. I'm half tempted to do a compression test to make sure that I don't have a dead cylinder just pumping the crankcase full of air, although I could feel 8 decent pulses from the tail pipe when it was running. I forgot to mention that I found # 5 and 7 were backwards on the dizzy cap when I peeled off the wires the last time.
