Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Easy money.

Hot tub time!

I need one.

 

 

I will be the first to tell you they are a waste of money much like any luxury item, but I will tell you I am in it almost every night I don't work. Not because I feel obligated to use it, but rather to relax and let the lower back get massaged.

 

This past February was the coldest since we moved in and I figured that tub would have cost some electricity, but it only raised my bill $43.00 higher than last year.

Easy money.

I will show you some easy money son..

 You have no clue what goes on around here..

It is really hard to remember to take pictures when you do shit. I get in the zone and just do. Was nice today as I had no urgency to do anything and no rush so I just chugged along. Also had no car for running for parts.

 

That feels so good when you have days like that.

Easy money.

Would you like a screen shot of my bank account?...Checking sets a few grand under half of  six digits...still cant break my old habits of clothes washing

 

 

[sandt38 448]

Pretty!

 

 

300 yards, working on a load. Roughly .6 MOA

 

 

Not too bad. That is still taking the head off a woodchuck at 300 yards. These are hunting bullets (55 grain Hornaday V-Max), so not necessarily the best round for good groups. Looks OK. But wait...

 

 

Now we're talking. That is 5 shots at 300 yards, in .24", or under .1 MOA. That is an eyeball at 300 yards, with a hunting round! Each square you see is 1 inch square, for perspective.

 

Next I am going to work on some serious long range paper loads. I want to run 68-75Gr BTHP Matchkings. Not good for hunting, but I am hoping for better than .1 MOA at 5-600 yards with a .22 cal bullet.

Holy shit, look who it is!

[ssh 924]

Pretty rifle too!

[sandt38 448]

Thanks! How you doing dude? Been spending a lot of time shooting, loading, and working. Looking forward to varmint hunting coming up!

[Godsmack 361]

You gon tattoo some dicks on him huh?

I sneak one in on EVERYBODY'S tattoo! Would have to do multiple for Mikey though.

You realize I am double checking mine now right?

LOL

[Godsmack 361]

And since I didn't shop that means I have a bigger power wire than ground

What size and how many ft do you need for the ground?

... and my next build. The build will be a 6.5-.284 on a Savage model 11 action. I am thinking a 28 inch Critereon barrel, I want to stick with a target Accu-trigger (just to prove naysayers wrong), with Nightforce glass. I may try some competing, but I really want to do some serious long range deer hunting with it.

 

This is what really turned me on to the round...

Been real well! When you dropped off the map I got worried you danced with the men in blue uniform.

[ssh 924]

I haven't touched my rifle in almost six months. Maybe next weekend I'll dust it off.

Got close. I had to pull back. Lots of shaking down amongst my friends. Fortunately my name was low key enough that I am OK. It pays to keep your network tiny.

I've been all over mine. Spending WAY to much time and money on my and my youngest son's guns.

[nem 2,019]

Very nice Seth.

 

Glad you have come back to visit.

[mikel7829 90]

I have touched my rifle a lot in almost six months. Maybe next weekend I'll rub one off.

Fixed!!

2 words, Pete Johnson. If he is involved, the stick is likely amazing. I have been plowing through his stogies lately. I don't smoke much, so it is taking a while. He does My Father, Tatuaje, L'Atelier... Best sticks IMO are L'Atelier Surrogates "Tramp Stamp", and Tatuaje Black Label. They are both around $8 a stick, and worth 3X the money. I can say I like both better than Padron 1926 #9. They are no Fuente/Fuente Opus X Lost City (my favorite stick), but they are fantastic. Pete blends a little heavy on the pepper, but the flavor is so nice and complex. I have tried almost all the L'Atelier sticks and like them all, same with the Tatuaje, although the Tat sticks do like to be a tiny bit too heavy on the pepper for an every day for me... I am getting ready to start on the My Father sticks.

 

Tonight's stick (I have to show off my nice stick Humi, too. Well over a grand in that hunk of Cedar.)

 

 

Oliva Serie V Melanio double perfecto. Cigar Aficionado's #1 cigar of 2014. It is proof that CA is all about advertising dollars. With this boring stick besting many Pete Johnson, Fuente, Ashton, Davidoff, and Padron offerings, there is no question. Granted, it is not a bad stick, but it is nothing special, and certainly not worth the $15 retail on it. It is very monotonous, no complexity, no change, no depth... It was simply an OK, creamy stogie from head to cap.

[sandt38 448]

Very nice Seth.

 

Glad you have come back to visit.

 

Hey Neal! Hope you are doing well! I am planning on grabbing some of Paradigm's newest offerings the Reference 85 or 95F. I want to pair it with the Anthem MRX510. Saving my play money, hoping to have the flow by next spring.

You are the reason I stopped back here, Mikey!

All good, it is ran. Overkill for what I'll use anyways, just not even overkill LOL

[///M5 2,833]

Nice grouping

Nice grouping

 

Thank you sir!
