EPA cracked down on lead wheel weights. They are pretty much all gone. The owner of Tennessee Valley Bullets is a friend of mine. For years when I was working, I'd collect our wheel weights and trade them to him for cast bullets. He's pretty much out of business now. Can't find enough lead. Now its just a side job for him and he only casts for friends and long time customers.

Just announced on the local news. The I-40 Bridge is now completely open to traffic both ways. TDOT said they got the construction clean up done ahead of schedule and reopened earlier than expected.

Well we don't have a serious meme thread. But I thought this was too good not to post.

I've had run ins with both water moccasins and tornadoes. So far I haven't been bit or hit. But I have hit everything else on that list at one time or another. I LOVE this state!

TGO doesn't have thread drift. We have tidal waves!

Isn't all that just common knowledge? Why make a list?

When I was a kid, I had one of the Man From Uncle toy pistols with the rifle accessories. It used a separate metal magazine that you loaded a roll of caps into and them inserted it into the gun like the real thing.

Howdy Dave, Always good to see another local boy. But be careful, you might just learn how to be a smart azz here.

Dusty Hill, the legendary bass player for ZZ Top passed away in his sleep last night. Damn! They are one of my all time favorite bands. I really hate to hear this. He will be sorely missed.

Anybody who speaks well of Memphis, obviously doesn't live anywhere close to it. Time Magazine? Just more fake news.

I was browsing a totally innocent website when an ad popped up advertising ladies clothing and a holiday sale for National Orgasm Day. Curiosity took over and I looked it up. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Cool! As y'all know, I love the M1A. Its my favorite battle rifle. Looking forward to a range report.

Oh I hope I don't get dinged for this But.......... I just discovered that next Saturday is a Holiday! July 31st is National Orgasm Day! For real, its an actual hoilday. National Orgasm Day Be sure to celebrate accordingly. Honestly, I discovered this purely by accident. But since nobody would ever believe that, go ahead and make your jokes. I can take it.

Welp, my trip out of town got cancelled. Why? Their car broke down and they're busy trying to get it fixed. At least I got mine fixed today. Looks like trouble comes in bunches.

Must be something in the air. I'm going out of town tomorrow and this morning the check engine light came on in the car. Cyl 1 miss fire. Probably not much to it. Just bad timing. Oh well, much to do today. I guess I'll just drive my truck.

I read it some years ago. I'm afraid I've forgot a lot of the details. But one thing really struck me hard. My oldest son is diabetic.

All I know is what's in the news. And I'm not sure what to trust. However, all the networks are saying Covid is rising again. They say the new Delta strain is to blame. I also heard that there is yet another new strain rearing its ugly little head. Local station reported that Tipton Co. here in the west end recently had the highest 14 day surge in the whole country. Currently talks are underway to decide if those already vaccinated should get a booster shot or not. In other news, the Tokyo Olympics is now severely limiting spectators. None at all in Tokyo itself and very limited in the outer venues. There is now some question as to if the Olympics will happen at all. No spectators will cost Tokyo millions of dollars. IDK man, Seems like this thing is trying hard to make a comeback.

Nice! Definitely gonna need a range report.

Could be any of several issues from just dirty to sear problems. Does it feed and eject properly? Does the hammer stay back when manually cocked? When cocked, push against the back of the hammer to see if it slips. It might be the ammo. American .32 acp ammo tends be lower powered than the European ammo this gun was designed for. Try some different ammo. Preferably a european brand. Fiocchi if you can find any as it does run pretty hot. If that doesn't work, give the gun a good cleaning. It may have crud in the innards slowing down sear reset. Completely dis-assemble if possible. Clean and carefully inspect all parts. Look closely at the hammer and sear contact points. On re-assembly, lube it well. Especially the slide as it could be short stroking on you.
