What's everyone doing with their pandemic isolation free time?

Well, here it is, just needs a few coats of shellac and it's ready to go. The t-tracks on the right side hold the reloading press, so the table pulls double duty, woodworking/reloading.

Nice work!  Looks great.

I haven't quite figured out quantum gravity yet, but I did get my income tax stuff in the mail today. How is everyone doing with that?

BTW, if you want to make your head explode sometime, check out quantum entanglements, where a particle can have an instant effect on a paired particle across the universe.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

I'm still working more hours than before the madness, but since I can't go anywhere during the downtime, I'm running the smoker every other weekend (baby back ribs are back in the rotation this Sunday) and trying to play more on the lathe. I'm trying to figure out hollowing;  I turned a set of shot glasses from some mystery wood, a series of small lidded boxes from dry maple, and just finished a set of three bowls from a freshly-fallen maple tree.   Green turning is kinda fun, because the wood cuts so easily and you quickly generate huge piles of long, long shavings.  Then the finished bowls warp into cool shapes as they dry, and everyone wonders how you did that...

Oh, and I've still got a huge pile of mulch on my driveway.  I'm only slowly making progress on getting that spread around.

Here it is in reloading mode

I've got a new reloading room setup on the horizon. I think I'll have to steal that t-track idea for the new bench. 

I already have a swapable setup, but the machine spacing is fixed.

"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous - whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light," the president said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, "and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it.

"And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Sounds interesting," 

 

"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?

"So it'd be interesting to check that."

Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what."

"The rule here is total silence. We make no pretence of rehabilitation here. We're not priests, we're processors. A meat packer processes live animals into edible meat. We process dangerous men into harmless ones. This we accomplish by breaking you. Breaking you physically, spiritually and here. Strange things happen to the head here. Put all hope out of your mind, and masturbate as little as possible. It drains the strength."

Went to the range today to try aout the new Champion Workhorse. Worked great shot about 125 rounds. There were some people at the rifle, pistol, and shotgun ranges. We were socially distant:rolleyes:. Felt good to get out and do something.

It worked great. I used the spikes that came with it to hold it in place and it didn't move at all. The only ones that broke on the throw were after we went out and picked up the missed birds so they may have had cracks. Only about 5 broke coming off the arm.

At the next shotgun shoot we'll have plenty of throwers. Whenever Bucky Beaver lets us go out and play in NJ

@Displaced Texan has a new un fired shotgun. It’s probably killing him

It’s driving me nuts. 

Think of it like a long foreplay session. When you finally get to shoot it think of how good it will be.

    • What's the crime for riding a dirt bike on the street? Most likely a fine, misdemeanor at most. That justifies causing severe bodily injury through use of lethal force by auto?  There is no way to predict that he would have hit anyone, it's more like a 99.9% he wouldn't have hit anyone.  And that was a 2 lane road, not a pedestrian walkway. Hopefully he hires a good lawyer and everyone is held accountable for their actions.
    • Seriously? “Sounds Fishy”? You can’t think of a reason why the cop thought that was going to happen after watching the video? The cops are there after multiple reports/complaints of vehicles in the pedestrian walkway and reports of near misses. The ATV is on a pedestrian walkway where there are not supposed to be any vehicles and is moving at very fast pace. If he couldn’t stop for the police car, what makes you think he could stop in time for a pedestrian. He dynamited the breaks to avoid hitting the car and lost complete control of the ATV. Luckily the mass of the car prevented it from continuing to tumble down the walkway and take out pedestrians like bowling pins. If he had hit the brakes like that to avoid hitting a pedestrian instead of the car, would the ATV not have flipped? What would the now out of control ATV have done to any people in the walkway? Would the first person be hit have enough mass to stop the ATV in its proverbial tracks? I have seen plenty of pedestrians stuck. It is never like the movies. They don’t parkour out of the way of a speeding car - especially when pushing a baby carriage and the vehicle is approaching from the rear in a place where you think you are safe because vehicles are it permitted.

    • Why would he think the ATV rider was going to run over the pedestrians? Were the pedestrians laying in the road? Sounds fishy. A good lawyer will have a field day with this one.
    • If I lived in the hills, (or the burbs with a tall tree) I'd invest in at least one dedicated repeater and a solar based system to power it.  I don't think you need a tremendous amount of battery capacity, as the repeater will be on standby most of the time.  It will only draw serious current when it transmits. I think one could set up a reliable, self sustaining private node for around $1,500, maybe less.   Agree 100%
