Grandson called me, meet him at Academy Sports in Olive Branch at 9 am the next morning. I got there at 8:30 and there were 40 people in line. He was second to get in the door. I waited till 8:55 before walking up to join him. We heard uh's and ah's behind us. The ones near that had been talking with him understood. A big guy turned around and said shut up. I asked, what time did you get in line, 8:10, dang. Inside we are directed to costumer service counter. The first guy bought a box of 200 556 ammo. Grandson bought a box of 200 7.62X39 at 0.30 per round. I want a box, out of stock. 2 boxes of 20 at 0.40 per round. Grandson has 240 rds to play with his new rifle.

I sent an email and got a reply. He has three 520 rd boxes and wants 0.60 per rd.

Monday I got 7 inches of snow. The sun came out for a short time yesterday. New light snow started at 6:30 am today. Heavy by 10:30 and hasn't stopped. Looks like 5 new inches for now.

I've heard that Cedar Blight affixes all apple trees, don't know about Granny Smith's and Honeycrisps. I got 144 tomato seeds planted in the greenhouse last week. My wife saw 2 seed packs at the store she wants to try. I'll split a tray of 48 for them as soon as this snow leaves.

I did our shopping Thursday, got all we need. Saturday morning to the food bank. I want 3 boxes to feed my family. The lady talks me into 4 boxes, fine I can share with a neighbor. I drive to where the boxes are handed out the lady says if you want/need more let them know. Ok, I'll share with another neighbor. Get up in line and tell them I want 5 boxes. One person closes the tailgate on my truck while another person comes to my window. You have 10 boxes, be safe, share, god loves you. I brought 1 box into the house to see what was free. 5 lbs russet potatoes, 3 lbs of apples, 2 packs of singles cheese, four 6 oz containers of Yoplait strawberry yogurt, about 3 lbs of loose sweet potatoes is what I kept. Back to the other 9 boxes for another bag of russets and all the Yoplait yogurt. I got 14, some boxes had another brand. 2% milk we don't care for. My 3 kids took a gallon wished they had space for another. I have 3 gallons in my fridge with March 3 dates for them. They each take a box except for the precooked chicken. Youngest son has a family of 5. He took 3 bags of russets, 4 bags of apples, double the sweet potatoes, cheese and yogurt. I get back home and carry the rest to the neighbor. 1 complete box plus 5 of what we don't want. A knock on the door and I step away. I tell her that, check the other boxes of what you may want. She has a friend that will get the rest.

3 years ago before my wife retired she would wake me up on payday so we could head to walmart. Payday was Monday morning every 2 weeks, she worked the 6 pm to 2 am shift. Her off days were Monday and Tuesday. We each grabbed a cart and headed our separate ways then meet up to finish our shopping. Margie would be filling the ammo case most of the time when I got to sporting goods. I would call my wife to get over here. We had a good 30 minute to an hour chat with Margie. Figure what was the best deal on 22's and get our 3 limits. One night we got to talking about crappie fishing. She would love a mess of crappie, her husband wasn't able to get out. She said pick out whatever you wish in the fishing section and bring it to the counter. Depending on brands she reduced the price to 10 to 50%. 10 jigheads for quarter, I can't buy jig hooks at that price to cast my own. 4 shopping bags full for $28. I got her address and delivered a few meals until her husband pasted.

A reloading dealer in Gulfport offered up a carton of SP primers for $70, limit 2 at his door. A bit to far from Southaven. A gun/reloading store in Brandon had SP and SR primers, limit 200. Can't remember the price. Bass Pro in Pearl had a complete shelf display of all ammo for 4 weeks, limit 3. My grandson bought a 7.62X39, can't remember what flavor. The store had ammo, $12 limit 3 per 20 rds. A gun shop close by had them for $9, I bought the last 4 boxes. A week later the grandson calls, Academy has 100 rds for $30, limit 1. He bought 1 and I bought 1. I returned the next day, all they had was the 20 rd box for $10, limit 2.

Yea, I'm in a few groups on face book. If a member of a group makes a post I get the feed.

On my face book feed I saw people catching lots of crappie at Grenada lake spillway. Yesterday I drove down to see what I could catch. No one was catching, all were snagging. I tried for 2 hours and didn't catch anything. I'm not into snagging so I came home.

Some people get an universal decapping die. Set it up in a press and decap everything they reload. Some people use the sizing/decapping die from a set that they are reloading. The sizing die brings the case back into size of what the case should be. Some people call it resizing. Resizing to me is taking a case and form it another case. Like trimming a 357 to a 38 spl, 44 mag to a 44 spl, 223/556 to a 300 blackout. There's a few others.

Jamie, where you finding 5.56 data, all I can find is a repeat of .223. None of the 223 cases I've loaded needs trimming. Every 556 cases needs trimming.

I had a tire with a hole at the edge of the tread. Most tire shops won't plug/patch them. I plugged it and added a bottle of Slim then aired it up. I got 5 months use until I saw steel belt sticking through.

Monday I went to every store in the Memphis area, empty shelves.

I hear a lot of people snag in the big 4 spillways, it's legal here. I've seen a few photos of some big crappie.

Monday I did a drive around the Memphis area looking to see what ammo and supplies could be found. Shelves were bare everywhere. Some shops had cleaned the shelves and removed the stickers.

Not a friend, someone asking for help on a RV face book group. I gave up trying to help, he would post one night asking for help then delete his thread at the end of the night. The 4th night he let it slip, they removed the neutral wire from the welder plug, not really knowing how the RV was wired. Now the 50 amp plug doesn't have a neutral, using the ground as a neutral.

Well I'll post it here. I have someone looking for advice. He's plugged his 50 amp RV into a welder outlet. The outlet reads 110 from leg 1 to neutral, 110 from leg 2 to neutral. He's been plugged in for 6 months and now the surge protector shows open neutral. What's happened?

I have a RV question. What section would be best to post it in?

That's the way I feel. If I find an ad with what I want with a good price and close I'll jump on it. Earlier in the week I found 3 boxes of 38spl 137 gr FMJ for $70, $23.34 per box, 0.934 per round. It's hard to reload for less than 0.10 each unless you cast. I asked what else he had to sell. 1,000 rds of 308/7.62X51 for 0.80 each. 200 308 and 800 7.62X51, would like to sell it as a whole or split the 2. I found buyers for both.

"Please, what ever you do stay away from car batteries, the chemicals that come off when melting WILL KILL YOU. Fixed it. If the battery has top post you dump the water/acid out. Fill about halfway with water, replace caps and shake it, repeat 3 or more times. Leave it open to dry for a few weeks then take a big hammer to the post. Remove them from the battery, that's all the good lead you'll get from a battery. You just removed about 3/4 pound of lead. Figure what you saved if lead is a dollar or 2 per pound. I get $15 for side post and $20 for top post batteries at the scrapyard.

My sons and I met up at Sardis lower lake last Wednesday for some kayak crappie fishing. Paddled out to find 12 foot of water and dropped a jig to the bottom. Slow paddle backwards, let the line come up them fall straight down. As the jig was coming off the bottom that's when we would get a strike. We got our limits of 15 in 3 hours.

Last time I bought wheel weights it was $40 per bucket. Sort the trash, scrap metals, zinc and steel for about a third of a bucket of good alloy clip on's and lead stick on's. Next time in, new manager wants $50 per bucket, no way. I carried a truck load of aluminum cans and electric motors to scrap. They had lead pipe for 20 cents per pound. I got all they had, 112 lbs.

You could have asked up for a mule train. That's where you'll drive so far to meet up with someone that will carry the package as far as they can to meet up with buyer or transfer it to someone else. I did that on Wewe. Traded 2 cartons of primers for 350 rds of 38spl ammo with a guy in Jacksonville, FL. My primers went through 7 hands and 16 days to get to him. His ammo went through 9 hands and 18 days to get here.

I saw an ad earlier, .355 124 gr FMJ nickel each. That would be $50 per 1,000 plus shipping.
