Around the Campfire (General Discussion) / Neighborhood watch
« on: March 15, 2025, 05:43:22 AM »
I was just about to open the gate at 0530 to walk my dog when a guy stops his pick up in front of my house. I don't know or have ever seen this person. He claims to be the neighborhood watch. He starts by talking to me in Creole. I told him not to trust the dog. That worried him and he left. There is no neighborhood watch. With him trying to speak Creole, I suspect he was the feds.

The eclipse is supposed to be really clear here. It's going to be cloudy with a chance of rain. I will now sleep through it.  ;D

Changing the clocks one more time! I have 6 to do and have done 3 of them so far, the sprinkler system, the thermostat and my truck. 3 in the kitchen are left to do and will wait till later to do them!  I almost forgot the 3 in the  house I take care of.  PITA and silly!

Zonie brought up a good point about developing loads to find out the components disapear. One of my favorite loads use Woodleigh bullets. Their factory burned down a while back. I have a few bullets left. I have had to change to different powders as well becuase what I was using is no longer available. Anybody else run into these problems?

Around the Campfire (General Discussion) / FFL

Visting with my FFL today I saw 2 very questionable people in his store. I could see the apprehension in his eyes. Asking for 9mm  ammo, he said he was out of stock. I backed off and circled to their left. They left and we conducted my business. He did ask if I was carrying. I just smiled and said I had him covered. Its a one man  shop. Being the right place at the right time seems to be pure luck.

I got through the yearly pain of filing my income taxes today and e-filed. Florida has no income taxes ,so it makes it a bit easier. Maryland state income taxes seemed to be more difficult than the feds.  :)

A friend had his second grandchild born over the weekend. The parents named  the baby boy "Neil". It came to mind that the martini drinking St Bernard in the TV show "Topper" was named Neil. Yes, I am that old. The show ran in the late 50's.  ;D

I placed an order with Midway at 0900 yesterday. I usually include some ammo to avoid shipping by USPS. Midway had shipping info sent at 1430 via UPS, the same day. I'm not sure that done so quickly is a good sign. It might mean they are not very busy, not good for their business!

My GSD had me up at 0430 this morning.When I got her outside,she went bonkers. The neighbor's cat was in the yard. Andi nailed it as it turned to go over the fence. I do think that cat is missing a big chunk of it's butt. It sure was screeching its way home. The dog was strutting around like look what I did! I'll check for a blood trail when the sun comes up.The other neighbor had his back yard light on ,so I could see what happened.  ;D

With the bird flu taking over, eggs are in short supply here with prices going out of sight. I just ordered Auguson Farms powdered eggs from Midway. They are on sale. I've had powdered eggs before and they aren't bad,just not real eggs.
