This is Mrs. Z's build. Zeeke is pimping her out.

As far as decorations go, $50.00 is pretty cheap for something that would look awesome on a wall. It probably has damascus barrels, so it's not really a shooter anyway. All those problems can be fixed, but good luck finding ammo that's safe to fire in it.

uh huh. "your" larue upper?

I think this is one of the videos I used when I was building mine. The guy shows you a few neat tricks to make the process easier. I didn't have to use a bunch of fancy tools either. I did buy a small brass and nylon hammer at HF though.

This

Damn, how could I have forgotten. One for weddings.

One for HD, one for skeet, one for trap, one for turkey, one for waterfowl, one for deer, one for upland game. At least.

The wind is making the snow weird. Can see grass in some spots and 3' drifts in others. I don't even know if it's possible to take an accurate measurement.

I'm trying to lock down a 308/ar-10 receiver set before the new commissar takes over. PA has a Matrix stripped upper and lower set on sale for $180. Matrix seems to have been around a while but I can't find many reviews on their products. Anyone here use them?

It's official, my office is closed for the day. Kinda cracks me up that 70% of vehicles on the road these days are 4x4, or AWD, suv's, trucks and crossovers, and nobody is allowed to go out because they call this storm a blizzard and declare a state of emergency when only 10" is expected to fall. Has anyone been out on the roads yet?

Fair enough.

1. Dress in Layers 2. Keep the moisture off your skin 3. Mittens are warmer than gloves. 4. Protect your extremities, head, hands and feet. You have about a 20 minute walk to the train so you should be able to keep pretty warm just from moving. This means you will sweat, maybe not a lot, but enough to make your trek uncomfortable, especially if your socks get wet or moist. A little trick I learned from an old hunter is put on a pair of silk socks and then wool socks over them. The silk makes your feet feel loved and sexy and wicks the moisture away into the wool. Wool stays warm even if you step in a puddle. Two layers of socks also prevents blisters and callouses. A long overcoat with a hood will keep you warmer than a waist coat with a wool cap. It holds more heat and protects you from the wind better. They look pretty snappy too. Watch caps are great, but you will arrive at work with hat head unless you are sporting a crew cut. I prefer a hood, as it better suits my vanity and gives superior protection from the wind. The best thing I have found to keep hands warm is hunting mittens. They have a little flap that you can open when you need to use your fingers. You can also wear thin gloves under the mittens. Don't wear tight gloves because it reduces blood circulation. 5. If it's really really cold..... Uber?

You need the "Randy"

How fast can you run? If I'm going to shoot in 20° weather, it has to be a challenge.

I will never forget my first monitor repair in 1998. I may have pooped in my pants a little bit.

That's my plan. The short ones are too short and the long ones are too long. Long is easy to fix. My tailor will nip and tuck a scabbard for $12

If you are handy with a soldering iron you can probably fix it. The problem is likely a fuse or a diode that feeds the magnetron.. punch in the brand and model into youtube and you will probably find a DIY video. Be careful though, you are working with high voltage.

The Seek is a true thermal imaging camera. Not all cameras come with a recording device or a display. The reason the Seek is so affordable is because it's only a basic camera that uses your expensive smart phone to do the rest of the work. It's also has relatively low resolution (about the same resolution you'd get from a TV made in the 70's) but good enough for looking at back yards at night, engines, windows, outlets and beaker panels to see where problems may lay.

The BIOS detects memory size every time the system boots up cold. The first time a system is booted with new or changed memory, it is detected, then stored in the BIOS so it does not have to do a full detection (to determine memory size) every time the system boots up. Whether this is displayed, and how it is displayed, on boot up varies by BIOS and is configurable so that you may never see it or see it every time the system boots up. This is also a helpful diagnostic feature because if a stick goes bad, the system will ignore the bad stick and still boot up with reduced memory. So, if all of the sudden your system says the memory size changed and you didn't add or remove memory, you probably have a bad stick.

66 degrees in the sitting room on a day when the outside air temp is 15 degrees would have been considered sweltering in 1840. Viva la Victorian lifestyle. I lived in a colonial era carriage house for a few years. I can say nobody was at risk of CO poisoning from the fireplace. There were five enormous 12 pane windows in the main room and each window had one pane on hinges (vents) that opened up like a door. Every year we had to put up that clear plastic you shrink with a hair dryer. It helped a lot. You can see how well it works on a breezy day as the plastic flumps when it stops the cold air from infiltrating your house. You may want to consider hiring a thermal photographer to "see" where the cold air is coming in. EDIT: Also, a humidifier helps. Moist air carries/holds heat much better.

Batteries are the happiest when they are fully charged. Even if there's enough juice to throw two more tournaments, it's still a good idea to top off the tank after every use. It's part of the maintenance that will extend the life of the battery.

It would be extremely helpful if you could give us the power rating off the thrower. It should be on there somewhere in Amps or Watts. I an guesstimating that it is rated at about 10-15 Amps and the wobbler (oscillator) will eat up another 5 Amps. . The oscillator will continuously draw current but the thrower will only draw current when it is being operated so it's kinda hard to factor exactly how much juice it uses for each throw.. Did some looking around. For just the Wheelybird, you can probably get away with a battery as small as a tractor battery, it should throw at least three cases of clays.. They are not deep cycle though so the battery life will be shortened with each use. Starting batteries, even small ones, are meant to deliver a lot of amps for a short period of time and do not tolerate being discharged below 80% well. Deep cycle can be discharged to about 50% before it affects battery life. A deep cycle battery with at least a 50Ah rating should be more than enough for the thrower and the oscillator. You'd run through a case of ammo before a 50Ah battery even breaks a sweat. . If it were me though, I'd buy a really nice jump start power pack, not the slim compact ones, but the big hefty kind that has all the bells and whistles; air pump, light, USB charger, inverter. It will probably supply all the power you need for a full day of shooting, it has a deep cycle battery, holds about 20Ah of juice, and you can use it for something else besides throwing clay pigeons.
