  1. Caught 2 folks parked on a gravel road running behind (not on) my property. I'd had a couple of things stolen while I was rehabing this place, so when they were parked there over 30 minutes, I watched from the woods, for 10-15 minutes, confronted them, told them what my concerns were,  took their license number, and run them off. Since the road isn't on my property, I had no reason to hold them for the cops, etc. Got to looking around the piece of ground they were hanging out in, and found 2 2 quart pop bottles half full of lithium batteries, liquid, looks just like the stuff I been seeing in the drug class dog and pony show we do once a year at work.

     Long post short, I called the cops, they sent a deputy to look it over, he ID's it as a shake and bake set-up, calls haz mat, and takes the license number. A while goes by, they catch the guys with another batch cooking, I ID the guys, they go to court, I'm called as a witness, and they're out of the courtroom free and clear before I am. End of lesson.

  2. i will go to the man cave in the morning and look up my 44 mag cast lead loads.  i will post them here later.  they were used in silhouette matches back in the 80's in west texas.  the guns used are a ruger blackhawk with a 10 inch barrel, a s&w model 29 with a 6 inch barrel, and a t/c contender with a 10 inch barrel.  i also cast my own 44 mag bullets. it is a 240 gr cast lead gas check bullet.  with wheel weight it comes in a little bit more heavy. i use a hornady and home made free check gas checks on the bullet.  i lube them the old school way,with a rcbs luber/sizer.  never had any leading.  no matter how fast i ran them.  i also got some chronograph data around for the loads.  if i remember i use 2400, h110, and some of type of powder for the match loads.   

    I shot handgun silhouette in El Paso Tx. and Las Cruces N.M. back in the early '80's. Small world.

  3. Are you getting the OD light on the dash flashing? This will indicate trans. fault codes stored. Check wire connectors to trans for good connection (disconnect, check pins and receptacles, a little dielectric gel and reassemble) and grounded,shorted, bare wires from abs sensor. Hard shift will come from high line pressure, which will come from stuck governor, or elec. input indicating increased throttle input (your foot) and/or slippage. Increased (or perceived increased) throttle pressure or slippage will keep tc from locking up, and late/delayed od engagement. Does the fluid look black,,or have an acrid burnt odor?
