Blogging will resume soon.

Stay tuned.

Computer is dead, waiting on a replacement. Blogging is nearly impossible from a tablet, so I am taking a break until I get a new machine

Later

I got time to work on the Non-Ruger 10-22.

It had an issue with groups that were sometimes 0.3″ and sometimes 4 inches.

I took it out of the stock and found the barrel screws had come loose (despite using blue Loctite). Once tightened and re-assembled, I took it to the range and re-sighted the scope.

55 rounds in groups of 5, none larger than 0.6 inches….much of that was me, not the rifle.

I think I fixed it.

It appears that lumber pricing (at least plywood and 2X dimensional lumber) has dropped by 15-20% in just a few days.

EIther demand has dropped, supply has gone up, or they ahve simply found the price point where people simply stopped buying.

(that’s (Capitalist) economics 101 for those of you who never took that class in high school)

Now if ammo would do the same we’d be all set.

Its funny….the Left kept accusing Trump and the RNC boys and girls of colluding with and/or being a puppet of Putin…..With absolutely zero evidence. (they did point to the Steele Dossier, but we know that was a bit of fabrication from the Hillary folks)

But is Biden a puppet of the Putin team? It sure looks like he is doing the bidding of Russia and its leader….Perhaps influenced by Hunter?

It sure looks that way.

“Projection” seems to be a thing with the Left, doesn’t it? One can almost always figure out that whatever nefarious things they accuse their opponents of, the Left is, has been, or is planning to be guilty of.

Apparently, due to covid (or maybe the Delta Variant) we have had zero reported issues this year (and last year too, I think) of West Nile Virus. Much like Flu, thre is suddenly no deaths from this disease.

Odd, that.

in comments on a liberal blog when the blog hostess either close the comments

Or the other commenters start calling (or quoting) “Hitler”

or she deletes your comment rather than refute it. (not because it had profanity or anything, just because she didn’t like the truth…even though it references reputable sources)

Liberals. I wonder what color the sky is in their world?

Seems that there is positive identification (this time) of the Capitol Police officer who shot Ashli Babbitt (who was unarmed, as it appears all the people in the hallway were)  in the Capitol on Jan 6th, 2021.

Note that this was the only shooting. The protesters didn’t shoot anyone (nor did they beat anyone with a fire extinguisher, dspite the early reports, later proved flase, but repeated by the Liberals (with a hysterical catch in their voice) even today)…but the Capitol Police did so, on video, and clearly not a good shoot…..If this shooting were held to to the same standards that regular community police are held, there would be homicide charges…

But it does appear that this person, A Lt Byrd, is the dude….and he is most obviously of a Protected Class…And the Capitol Poloce are protecting him…

Seems that a statue of Martin Luther King was “vandalized with paint and Nazi Graffitti”.

Gee, where were the Hate Crime invetigators when last year statues of Washington and Jefferson and Columbus and Nathan Beford Forrest and others were not only vanfdalized, but torn down and smashed? Tossed into river and such…

How come easily removed paint is worthy of a Hate Crime investigation while actual physical destruction was not?

Look: Smashing a statue is bad. Spray painting it is also bad. Random destruction, be it for no reason or for protest is bad. Don’t do it.

And when all those LIberal fols whine about the paint on their precious statue of their civil rights hero, I say”You folks started this…Be glad the other side isn’t smashing or blowing up you statues”.

Paint is easily cleaned.  Having to recast the bronze is a lot harder.

Remember this next time when you start tearing down symbols in a paoxysm of hate. Escalation might not be good to your side.

Those dudes, the “Moors” in Massachusetts?

Were they trying to get caught by the police? I mean, they did a refueling stop on a main thoroughfare…..in full tactical gear. In sight of everyone…not on a side road or an out of the way parking lot.  Almost as if they wanted to be caught or attract attention. Didn’t make a stop at a gas station wearing jeans and a t-shirt either. Even a large group of black men in a totally white neighborhood would not have stood out as much as a bunch of armed men wearing “tactical” gear on the side of a major road.

Lots of comments (by racist liberals looking for racism) on the fact that the cops didn’t shoot them so they must have been white……..I mean, lots of folks were sure that these folks had to be white simply because there was no gunfire by the cops…..as if there would have been a predilection to start shooting because they were black, rather than white. Story is that it was ONE cop, who questioned the oddity of armed men wearing tactical gear refueling the vans by the side of the road…..and then the men in question ran into some woods. Other cops were, of course, then called.

One wonders if that group of men had a Fed or three in their membership…perhaps one (or more) who made a phone call so that the police response was such that the folks in the van had time to surrender peacefully. Perhaps he didn’t want the idiots to be shot, or have cops get hurt. (Chances are, like most “militia” groups, there were several agents already in the group. Likely, as in the past, these were the most vociferous members of a relatively harmless bunch of hapless idiots…)

Either way, I find it hard to believe that they were trying to be covert.
