load 'em up People!!!

welp, i have had a really good day today all, foot was feeling decent, thanks to about 15 excedrin and ibuprofen tablets, and i got to hang out with my big bro today, and get some loading done, i loaded about 575 44 rounds, some were loaded for my dear wife, they are 44 special rounds shooting the 240 grain econoblast full metal jacket bullet, at around 700 foot per second... the rest were 44 magnum, most were the same bullet i loaded for chrissy, but at a greatly increased velocity, pushing 240 grain bullets is a max load of winchester 296, so i am thinking i might get in the area of 1800fps out of my 6 inch dan wesson revolver, its gonna be a lot of fun to chrono it tomorrow at the range, i sure hope my hoof is feeling up to it, and i cant wait to get some pics of chrissy shooting this massive hand cannon.

hey, guess what all, i got my 45 yesterday and got a custom beavertail grip safety fit to it, and i hope to go get it started on the break-in cycle tomorrow as well....

welp, james did it tonight... he threw out the first offer of a trade for a list of my guns for his desert eagle.... man, i tell you what, i was TEMPTED BY THE DEAMONS, but i held..... and just kind of changed the subject, i'll get him though, some time i will figure out a good mutual trade that he will go for, man, i really want the pistol.....

i guess since he is intetrested in my lone eagle i will be keeping it until he comes up with a trade for it, i tell you, having a 30-06 pistol is really kick ass cool, but i have a lot more fun shooting a 44mag revolver, yea i know, you cant hit shit at 200 yards every time, but i just enjoy it more, no reason at all for that feeling, and i think i am really going to enjoy building my own 1911 45, i cant make up my mind if i want to build it for target shooting, combat, or speed time trials.. i am thinking about kind of a mixture, i have the grip safety i want, and i am looking at a couple match grade barrels, and i am really looking at an extended barrel with a built on/screwed on compensator, and i think i will go with a commander style skeletenised hammer, and a really smooth and sharp sear.....oh well, you kids dont want to hear about my dreams, i am sure something will come along to fuck them up..... but its cool right now to dream about.

oh, and guess what else happened today, that damn maria, my bro's spouse, got a new car, much to the grim face of big brother, its a ford escort sedan, i got to drive it when she brought it home, and i sure do like the way it drives, it has a little bitty engine but it seems to have a good amount of zip... and its my fav color for a car...white!!!

i think i still like chrissy's outlander better, but maria made a good choice, i sure hope it makes her a good car...
so maria and i got the radio presets done, and just hung around the car for a bit, you know how them mexicans are, just set around for no good reason...hahaha!
but it all made for a really good day, no pressure to do anything in any set time, and good family.... could have used a fresh coke though about 7 pm.. but thats cool....

welp, i think its time to run get a snack at 7-11 and check out all the weird people, shotgun at the ready!

see ya later kids, have a great night, and thank you for an awesome day big bro!!!
