I wish they had a date where they were together In Nashville. I thought about making the drive to see this one.

We won't judge. What happened in Italy stays in Italy.

I love be Robert Earl Keen! Never saw him live. I bet that was quite a show.

I wanted a set up to do small receivers up to Rem rolling block size as a max and this was the cheapest way to do it. First I bought a used pottery kiln off Ebay for about 280 if I remember right. Now what makes a pottery kiln no good for the intended purpose is they general have a pretty cheap temp regulator. You need a Kiln that will hold 1500 Degrees F within a few degrees. That's where this unit comes in. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Plug-Play-PID-Temperature-Controller-Box-Kiln-Probe-Pottery-Glass-Annealing-/111131612124?hash=item19dff5d3dc Now comes the tinkering of putting the new controller in the old control panel. I kept the original analog temp gauge just to have a match to the digital add on one. This is what it looks like under the lid. Next up was to make a crucible to contain the part and the carbon mix. I had to size it carefully so it would fit inside the small kiln without being to close to the heat coils. heating slow and evenly is part of the equation. here it was specifically sized to fit the long griped stevens An aerator pipe was fabricated to bubble the water for at least an hour prior to a quench. High oxygen content is needed for good colors. The coiled bottom has a series of tiny holes drill for fine air release. Here, the bucket is a industrial laundry detergent unit that will hold my 15 gallons of Distilled water from Walmart. The crucible frame holds the container solidly and you can see the window screening that catches the part. Here you can see the crucible lift fork that can lift the container out of the kiln and the trap door hook screw driver I made up to yank the trap door open over the water. Quenching must be very close to the water and instantaneous. If the trap door hesitates to open in one swift motion, Its spoiled, and needs to be repacked and heated again. Ask me how I know The second receiver I did was this Marlin 47 pump 22. The quench warped the bolt enough to where I had to refit it but it worked out nice in the end. That used to be a fire damage gun that got new wood. The forend I made from an old butt stock scrap

Saw them together this evening in Bristol. A great show. They have several more dates in TN. I recommend seeing them if your a fan of either. Here's a link to tour dates https://tour.lylelovett.com

I saw those two together at the Ryman back in the day. Man, those were great shows. Robert Earl Keen’s 20th Anniversary of Live Dinner is totally worth a listen. Whenever I want to just hear my kids sing at the top of their lungs, I’ll cue up Feeling Good Again in the car. My oldest says the song makes her think that’s what heaven must be like.

Man, Lyle’s got a few dates out west with John Hiatt after the first of the year. Love John Hiatt.

Now that is one critter that definately needs a trim. I'm amazed it can even breath and walk...........JMHO

I put my name on the waiting list for a .45acp model. There's not much on the web about it, but what little there is is positive, I believe this is exactly what I'm looking for and the price is good. So I'll be the guinea pig if they'll start shipping. Web site says the should be shipping by Q3 2018. Well, that's now. I sent them an e-mail asking when they will be available. I'll let y'all know what they say.

He's a musician. He has $28,000 worth of instruments, some Doritos, and a half pack of rolling papers

Probably because there wasn't anything on TV other than the Watergate hearings ...

I haven’t forgotten, Last week I passed up Dicks, which is 2 minutes from my house, and drove 20 minutes to Academy in Knoxville to spend $250 on shoes and another $150 for camping supplies. I hope they continue to feel the pain of their decision.

Determined women with firearms, they are all lookers!

Ok, who shrunk my axe?

No you can't have my pants !!

I’d stay the heck out of there come a full moon. No telling what might happen.

Don’t forget the 2019 Kia catalog and a hole where his soul used to be...
