I got bored today and priced out a .22LR build for precision shooting. I hit $2k in parts, not including the optic, and quietly closed my computer. It would have been fun build and a sweet rifle. I hear you. I've wanted to bring my K-31 to "match" condition, but the cost of the diopter an...

I'd never seen a cyber truck in the wild until last Saturday. Then I saw four in the span of an hour or so while driving to/from Cheyenne. Got back home and found another one lives in the neighborhood. So five, basically all at once. I've been on the anti-Tesla bandwagon forever, but even Mrs FredS ...

Bloodhound and I shared a smoking patio with a couple aged bikers the other night. Perfect gentlemen. It reminded me of a time we were camping near Yellowstone with my daughter and her family. We ran out of flour for pancakes so my son-in-law and I got up early and hit up some local convenience stor...

Met up with bloodhound last night. Had a great time and walked away knowing a lot more about .22 pistols and state mag laws than I did before. There were a couple aging bikers (Sober Souls by their patches) close buy when we were discussing guns, gun laws, and how badly one might get pinched if foun...

I'll be honest - - - we have a boy dog and a girl dog and I sometimes "mis-gender" them. Say 'good boy' to the girl dog and 'good girl' to the boy dog. Pronouns are tricky and sometimes I get confused, and the last thing I want to do is raise sexually confused dogs, so I'm trying to say 'g...

Without commenting on whether or not this will fix the issue, I'd get longer screws. 3" min so you get 2" into the joists/trusses. You'll need a pretty stout drill/impact driver to sink them in that deep. Did the contractor use some sort of washer or plate to spread the load or just count ...

$3.77 incl. tax at Harbor Freight.
It got good reviews and came with an assortment of pop rivets.
As best I can remember, this may be the third pop rivet tool I've bought in my 71 years.
I so rarely need one I tend to lose 'em.

That's me with chalk lines.

As coco wrote, your best bet is Fiebings alcohol based leather stain. I have a bunch of those stains as well as many powders that can be mixed in alcohol to create custom colors. I'll bring it down to Ed's Tuesday evening along with a bunch of briar scraps so you can take it home and experiment.

I suggested that maybe he was hard-wired that way. Nature, not nurture. She dismissed that and thought they'd done something wrong when he was a kitten. Curious thing about humans -- we are the only earthly animal that is capable of adopting habits that are contrary to our nature and yet somehow co...

My wife's boss, who's 30 years her junior and has come to respect and rely on her, gave her a box of baked goods yesterday for her anniversary. MrsFredS said her anniversary is next month. Boss lady said "I know."

The treats are from the gluten free bakery MrsFredS loves.
