Joe from town was over, one of those that will not listen. His renegade was still loaded from last season, I told him to just shoot in the ground as he will miss the paper, he did miss. He uses bacon grease and says his from the corner store has no salt!!!! I was shooting so did not see but he dry patched and it stuck. Had to come up to get it out. He had cleaning rag that looked like an old woman's shirt with stretch, too cheap to buy flannel. Then he ran a sopping patch down, loaded and it would not fire so he pulled the nipple over and over to add powder until the nipple plugged so I had to come up and drill it out with a no. 61 drill bit. I found the ball was at the muzzle so I made him pour a lot of powder in the nipple hole and reseat the ball. He asked why seat it so I explained he would have scrap iron if he didn't. It popped out like a worn fart. I had to show how to wipe and dry and he finally was able to shoot. I sure did not get much done for myself.
