Payday, I head to Sportsman's Warehouse online to order the Charles Daly 101 410 in walnut. I searched the website a few times not finding the shotgun. Filled out a form asking about it. Got a link with the shotgun on it, out of stock at the warehouse. Filled out a form to let me know when it was in stock. The waiting games has a new curve. Looking online at SW I find the Stevens 301 camo for $230 and the Stevens 301 Turkey camo for $218 as their cheapest. I want a walnut finish not camo. Wait some more.

Guess Kroger is getting out of auto supplies. Got 24 quarts of oil for $3 per quart, some were oil and some synthetic, 0-20 to 10-50. The truck with 380K gets a blend of the different grades. Glad I'm able to do some of my repairs. While shopping I let the driver's window down it did nothing when pressing the button to close. Think it's the motor. I go to 3 local shops, their replacement was $420 to $575. Checked online, motor is $65, regulator with motor $85. Looked at Utube video replacement, all changed the regulator. Easy job finished in 3 hours. Now the passenger window is slow and stops before closing all the way. My grandson and I went to pull a part for items he needed. I got a list of trucks and locations for my parts wanted. All parts were the wrong color. I did get a windshield washer reservoir with motor for $19. Online motor is $59. I've been without it for 4 years, great to have it again.

Miwall and CDVS.US seem to have the best prices. CCI and Magtech small pistol and rifle primers $36 per carton. Browning 410 #8, 2 1/2" $13 per box, $129 per case. Payday, time to place an order at Sportsman's Warehouse before paying bills.

Try firing the primers a second time while it's still in the chamber. If they fire the primer isn't seated, you're driving the primer deeper into the pocket then it fires. I have that problem on my musket. Primers have different heights, Fed .117, CCI .118, Rem .119, Win .121.

The CT doesn't take 2 hours. We started at 7:30 am when the door was opened. Check in, lab work, Sit in a small room after injection for an hour to relax then the CT. Was released at 9:25. Everything moved like organized clock work. Yesterday I got to West clinic at 10 am, lab work first. A visit with the doctor was next. I was given the printed report from Monday's Petz scan. "Negative study for metastasis" The cancer is pretty much cleared. I didn't have to take the infusion or wear the pump home. Return visit in 3 weeks. May go on a pill if needed. A stop at Sportsman's Warehouse for a carton of Cheddite 209 primers, Dang, they are moved from the shelves to the gun display. The $47.99 price is now $79.99. I'll be watching online for a better deal. We celebrated the end, we hope to the infusions by ordering dinner at Texas Roadhouse. The 200 410 primed hulls were delivered while I was gone. Dinner wasn't good for me, couldn't eat half of it.

After the West clinic visit yesterday we stopped at Sportsman's Warehouse. I planned to get another carton of Cheddite 209 primers @ $47.99. Nope, now $79.99. I'll look online for a better deal. The 200 410 primed hulls were here when I got home.

I've had everything needed to reload 30 Car. for 15 years and never loaded the first. Range brass keeps coming in, tumbled, polished and stored away. It's my son's gun and he doesn't fire it much. Try another primer. We have one 9mm that doesn't like Wolf and another that doesn't like Winchester. CCI and Federal work well in them.

See if I can get there and check them out. Checking map search they are 33.5 miles 42 minutes away. McIvor gun range at Sardis, MS is 45.9 miles, 47 miles away. Can shoot lead bullets.

I change mine in the driveway using a floor jack. Frame changed the long filter to a short one, AC filter is short and a few dollars cheaper. Checked ratings it's the same as Frame. I get my oil at the auction house, usually $3 to $4 per quart might get a gallon for $15, 5 qt jug for $20. Last time in walmart a 5 qt jug was $30. Get the oil drain pan at Dollar Tree. If it gets trashed you're out $1.25. I use them as large flowerpot saucers. I use their fuel treatment, 2 bottles per tank every 4 to 6 months.

The honey Stroopwafels are good the coffee leaves an after taste and heartburn like No-Doz. I was first at West clinic, finished sign in and called back for lab work. Return to waiting room and down with my son. Barely got my big A in the chair and called back to start Petz scan. Total time about 2 hours. Stopped for a breakfast biscuit before 10 am then headed to BPS to meet The Legend for a FTF deal.

Double that price range and add more depending on the oil and filter used. Most places want to add an alignment or balance to tire rotation. Double or triple that price range. Some places have coupons that will save you a bit.

Met The Legend today after Petz scan for a face to face deal. Now I'm ready to load a lot of 303 Britt brass to 410 brass.

My youngest son will drive me to the midtown clinic Monday morning. Plan to meet The Legend at BPS east Memphis at 10 am. May try to shop at Ollies before leaving that section of Memphis. My wife is out of ginger honey crystals for her tea, searched 16 stores before finding it at India Farmers Market on Stateline Rd Southaven. Bought her a tin of Earls grey tea at Home Goods in Olive Branch, first time seeing one. Every store I searched at I looked for Stroopwafels, bought all they had. All I've seen has caramel filling, found some with coffee and honey filling for a change.

I watch an auction from Senatobia, MS on zoom instead of traveling in the dark. They do a live and zoom auction on Friday nights. May have one during the week. May travel to other auction houses and bring items back to their place for local pick up. They have a 10% buyers fee plus 7% tax. Both Thursday and Friday they had CCI Blazer brass 115 gr FMJ 9mm, sold for $25 per box. Buy a carton of 12 for $20 per box. I checked online at Sportsman's Warehouse and found them at $12.99 per box. Aguilla 22 LR 38 gr lead $6 per box, Hollow point 40 gr lead $6 per box, Subsonic 40 gr $8 per box. Checked again at SW, $3.99 and $4.99 per box. They don't have a license to sell firearm so the raffle them at $5 per ticket or 5 tickets for $20. Last night they had a 380, 22 LR rifle and 12 ga pump shotgun in black or stainless. The 380 and both shotguns were picked by online members. I bought the 5 for $20 deal, only money I spent.

We were camped at Pickwick, below the dam. A couple pulled in with a teardrop, pulled a large bag from the truck then parked in the extra zone. Sat up a 12X20 portable carport then backed the camper under it. Added enclosers after sitting things up. They had taken the large outdoor rug or 2 and cut to fit around the camper, covering both doors and rear in a squared U shape. A large shower hut was placed at the tongue for clothes changing and potty room. Rain came through the next morning, they were able to do most things without getting wet. Teardrops are small, open the door and slide into the bed leaving shoes outside the door. Made for up to 2 people. Tires, They don't get used a lot on campers for the most part. A week or 2 before a trip I'd air up the tires, put a tiny mark on the tires or rims, jack it up and rotate each tire a quarter turn. Let them sit 24 to 48 hours on the new bottoms then rotate another quarter turn. Check air in tires before hatching. If they sit to long a flat spot forms on the bottom. Hatch up and leave the tires flops for miles until they balance out. If high speeds are reached soon the flop can cause a blowout. My parking spot at home had the door facing east. Tires got morning sun on one side and afternoon sun on the other. Weather cracks form faster on non used tires. At first I started getting blowout when tires were a bit over 4 years old. After first blowout all tires were replaced. Then I started replacing all 5 at 4 years, no blowouts after that. My truck has 17" wheels the trailer came with 13" wheels. I bought 15" wheels the second replacement. Couldn't find a wheel lock to fit after that, made my own.

Got the hulls sorted by color, brass and aluminum bases. Lot of brands I've never heard of, mostly all 7 1/2 and 8 size shot, field loads. Light rain started as I finished. From another state's gun owners forum I found a new to me supply website that I posted in Where do you buy your reloading supplies?

A new to me website popped up on another forum. CDVS.US Combat Disabled Veteran's Surplus. Magtech large pistol primers is what I was looking at. $280.70 per sleeve after shipping and hazmat added. I'd like to know their dimensions before ordering.

Welcome from Horn Lake, MS

Welcome from Horn Lake, MS. I'm on a few state forums under different names. Just to see how others reload.

I'll sort by color then look at brands today. See if I can return Saturday.

West clinic did a blood test Monday and a reply yesterday, all looks good. Got a call yesterday. West clinic midtown Memphis Monday 7:30 am for Petz scan. Haven't heard from a gastro doctor yet. West clinic Southaven doctor wants test results Tuesday. My oldest son has had back problems for a few years. He spent last night at the hospital with numb legs. Will meet with doctors next few days to see what needs to be done. He's my ride to most doctor/clinic visits and my fishing/kayaking/shooting partner.

West clinic visit set for Monday 4/28 7:30 am. Don't know how long I'll be there. All my kids are tied up with work or something else. Looks like I'll be traveling alone. PM sent.

On 4/15 the West Clinic Southaven doctor ordered a Petz scan to have results by 4/29. It will be done at the downtown clinic on Union Ave. I haven't got a call about it yet. Now when will it be? This will be the closest I'll be to you within 3 months.

Wished I had carried more than 2 buckets or trash bags to the skeet range. 6 40 gallon trashcans almost full. Got mostly 12 ga and a few 20 ga hulls in plastic bushel boxes in the garage to keep dry, maybe dry some out a bit more. I'll sort them in a few days to a week. I may return on Saturday a little earlier for more since no one was there at 4 pm.

With the sore belly I missed shopping Friday. Yesterday I felt a bit better and limited my shopping to 1 Kroger near me. Last week they had Claussen pickles on digital coupon. All they had were sliced, spears and Cajun spears. We like the baby and whole pickles, cut them as we wish when needed. The display yesterday wasn't any better for the Claussen products. I talked with the meat section manager, He checked inventory with his phone. Showed to have 15 to 19 jars of each, none could be found. He cleared the inventory and ordered more. Wish I could find Christian Brothers pickles. One restaurant had them and I'd buy extras when we ate there. Add them to dill pickle juice at home. Claussen sauerkraut was on clearance $1.75 instead of $4.99. We've had other canned brands but not as good as this. Not as good as grandma and oldest aunt made. I cooked it with different sausages and dogs. Had hamburgers in gravy too. Can't read exp date on jar, stop by for more later I found 3 ticks on my left arm Thursday night. It started itching, then the light was turned on to see them. Washed with alcohol and picked off. Still inching, more alcohol washings. Will call West in the morning. Got veggie seeds planted in the raised bed and flower seeds in the AC bed. Picked up twigs and limbs for the fire pit. Sat at the pit until 10:30 pm.
