I don't know why way back then when I started this Blog that Tam would comment. I felt I was a Kindergartner hanging around with the cool kids. I still do. She has been a wealth of information. Now she is facing some issues. NFO among others are rallying around to help. If you can do so.

Random Stuff
I usually don't talk about politics here. I will make an exception now. Rev. Paul has a great post that comforts me and he has done what many good Shepard's have done and will continue to do so. I remain steadfast in my humble efforts to teach and remind people how much blood has been shed for us to remain free. Remain calm and carry on as they say.
Ok, enough of that. Murphy's Law gave up some wood that needed some attention for the SMLE No. 1, Mk III. I ran it through some attention and at first blush I think I am done. What do you think?
I cannot wait to try these out. From the shelf of misfit ammo I suppose.
Ok, time for random stuff.
That pretty much sums it up right there!
Oh, horse blanket!
And yes it does say "front" on it. Sigh.... Casual friends have asked why it is not in the garage. I tell them it has not earned the right. True friends know why. Once a Mustang looks like this, the newer Sister has not earned the right to stay in the garage.
The red one in the previous picture is this one.

Just in time for the Holidays!
A rebuilt Holley! Running rich, but so far so good!
You can't have enough Holley for the season, right?

Raw Video from Downrange
Remember this Browning BDA-380? We replaced the trigger spring and tested. We also tested the drone. A couple of things stood out. I need to figure out how to actually fly the thing and do video editing!
No sound. Not a feature of the thing. I get that. File sizes get huge when sound is added. So I send my friend Alex out to test the BDA. Even though he calls me "old dude", he is a friend and if he stops giving me grief over my range bag, what I am wearing etc. I know I have made him mad.
So here is the first video from downrange. THERE WAS NO ONE down range. Sheesh. I need to say that.
Oh, Mr. Curmudgeon painted down range a couple of years ago. It seems to be holding up!

I Have a Surveillance Drone!
So guess what is going down range tomorrow for some live fire video? This thing that sports an HD camera that stores to a USB drive on board. It is controlled via iPhone, iPad, or Android device. This is a AR Drone. I took it outside today, but no USB video was captured. There is a specific boot up procedure I was not following. Further testing after dark in stately manor however was rewarded with this.
It appears that Pearl Harbor was bombed today. I have some video.
This was from the range parking lot! I really had a hard time moving here over 20 years ago. I missed the "City". Guess what. After watching B-24's, P-51's, C-47's and almost any other vintage aircraft from my porch, the range, filling my car up, for once a year I am really happy to be here!

Weekend! With a Special Event!
Today at work and at home the sound of radial engines in the sky filled the air. Take a listen. I did not get the aircraft, but this is an unmistakable sound. I caught it from my front porch.
It is that time of year again for the Warriors and Warbirds show at humble airport. I hope I get a chance to get there.
I have much to do however. First up a long overdue haircut. Second, a friend called last night from my version of Mordor next county over. His rental property was broken into this week. Bad part? Rental property is next to his house in the ahem, more upscale area of fair Metropolis. It looks like a trip in to assess and recommend a security system for both properties. Bad part? The standard "scattered smothered and covered" alarm from some well known company that will not be named * cough ADT cough* that WAS working AND armed did not go off.
Next? The trigger spring has been replaced on this little Browning BDA-380. It needs testing.
Remember this sad Mustang? I have to take care of all the older sisters now even more so than ever. They cannot get jealous! Carb is ready to go back on (I hope).
Oh, I want to get one of these down range to take some video this weekend too.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and remember to change the batteries in your laser equipped firearms! Just like smoke detectors, they are life saving devices!
