What did you do today

[SOLANCO]

spent the day in town............. a fate worse than death!
when i got home i knapped half a dozen flints. made a dozen char cloths. in other words goofed off.
except for town. spent the morning there cleaning a vrbo vacation rental. not sure its worth it.

The nice thing about a day in town is how much you appreciate coming back home.
(I DO like visiting the good deli in town. )

I decided to go simple, a chateaubriand with wine and shallot sauce, chateau potatoes and asperagas marinated in a raspberry vinigarette all served with an excellent twenty year old Bordeaux.

I'm shocked, I admit. Even over here us poor folks can afford newer wine that that.

Sorry the hear about the bad reaction to the Jab,Smoothy. Mine both went thru' perfectly OK. Spent to-day making a new main string for a friends Stormer Target pistol. Just off to Harden and Temper it..Then may be a pint at the local as it's a nice evening.. OLD DOG..

Same here - never felt a thing either time. Our local pub has just reopened after being closed for FIVE years. It was built around 1700, or so. It's on a road that used to be the main route North from London to York and it's situated at the bottom of Vinegar Hill, so called because of the stuff they used to give horses to drink to get them to the top of the climb an a change.

Thunderbird Select. It's a week old.

We have stuff here that is weathered [is that the word? I'm not a winie, as you can probably tell] - anyhow, not a drop is touched till it's three days old.

Cool, a real Roman highway running by your local watering hole. I loved the "Time Team" series and all your history. BTW, it appears your "STOP" is on the wrong side of the road

Yup, that is why it's called The Great North Road - still, even though the main 8-lane highway is half a mile to the East...as for the road markings, well, let's say we've gotten used to them now. Just be grateful you're not here...

This one might cause a degree of alarm among furriners, unaware what a 'cat's eye' actually is...

Around here if that first sign was to be put up the local bums would be standing in line waiting for the subsidence.
And I have a cat or 2 in the neighborhood that I would drop off for the removal so they couldn't find their way to my front porch at night.

Mad dog, Boones farm, Ripple no wine before its time. You brits do not know good drinking wine. Just un-screw the cap and down the old guzzler

 

[excess650]

I cast up a couple of hundred .62s (.612" and .616").

One more day of shortening the todo list.
One day closer to sitting down with the fast twist .52 Renegade with the 38" long barrel.

You left out RWL (Run, Walk, Lay down) and Thunderbird, Skid Row Scotch at it's finest.

I picked up that cannon in Florida yesterday. Just got her home. Now another toy to play with.

Tested the muff gun some. It will pass through a full 1 gallon water jug, kind of curious how much oomph 12gr of powder behind a .457 round ball actually has. I’ll try to find a second jug without two holes.

Reading about muffs reminds me of a story I heard a while back. A local businessman, renowned for being bit of a grimp, was persuaded to buy his wife a fur coat for her birthday. He found her one that was made of about three-thousand hamster pelts. That evening he took her out to a local amusement park to sample the rides. He told us afterwards that it had taken him three days to get her off the Big Wheel.
