I actually read that Frederick Courtney Selous fired his elephant rifle out his window in London to check the sights by shooting at his neighbor's chimney. But that was like....1898 or something.

Evening gents
Sorry you missed your match Scrummy. Hey but I understand. 75 slugs is a lot of punishment in the name of having fun or bragging rights. However, if there's money involved.......

Had to almost get up at the crack of tomorrow to go to work then finished it off with a No. 2 meal deal from Burger King. Kinda ruined the rest of my day. I think the King tried to have me offed.

Looks a nice day here in London.

Mornin gents

Happy Labor Day.

It's raining here, and looks like it's going to rain most of the day.

Had a very heavy downpour Saturday night for about a half hour. It kinda mucked the driveway up. Got the tractor out, and checked the fluid levels. They were too low to operate the tractor, so I checked the manual. I'm past due on fluid and filter changes, and it's probably going to cost a couple hundred dollars for all the fluids; 11 gallons of transmission, 3 gallons of gear oil, and filters. I did the engine oil and filter not long ago. I won't be able to do anything until Wednesday because of the holiday and work.
Sorry Ed. I didn't mean to drone on about tractor maintenance, but I'm not going to delete it.

Mornin gents!

Just thought I'd be a little more cheerful today. No particular reason.

Hello folks, last of the BBQ weather of Labour Day?

September is actually looking nice here. I have just realised my .404 Jeff die needs a larger thread press so later today I am installing a Lee Cast press so I can use the factory crimp die.

That will be this evening's Job. I will however finally have a decapping press over the bin though! Oh yes!

Mornin gents

Nice day today; sunny with pleasant temps.

Gotta get out and go buy tractor stuff today. Hope to get in some pistol practice as well.

Good day gents

The weather here is beautiful. Something like Skip would brag about. Unfortunately I have to work today.

Got everything for my tractor yesterday except for one oil filter. Of course I can't change the oil until that filter gets here. 
The cost of the fluids is bad enough, but the filters are over $100 each. Just a good thing I won't have to do this again for another 350 hours.

Morning all,

Feels a bit strange with Queen's passing here but otherwise all else normal.

Good day gents

Ah, Ed, I see my tractor topic has achieved the desired results.

Scrummy, like you and many others in your nation, I am floored and saddened by the passing of the Queen. She was a Grand Lady, and a treasure of Great Britain. May she Rest In Peace.
Now as for Prince Charles...........

So far, the weather here is fine.

Not to worry Lynn, I believe Charles will become a fine King. He has developed a more mature outlook and certain gravitas since marrying Camilla. He may never be as popular as his mother but I think the populace will come to respect his reign.
God save the Empire!
