Hi Scrat...I will have my wind generator fully mounted and hooked to the battery bank around the 10th of this coming August. From then on I will be online practically all the time.
Yeah, it was hard to clean. Well, not hard, just time consuming but by God it worked.
Scrat, I have to sign off of here in a few moments. Gasoline cost's a lot these days!!
If you see Bigbadgun on here please tell him I said hello and that in August or Sept. I will have some more business for him.
I got bored and shot my Dragoon First Model this morning, First time I'vd ever shot it. Loaded it with 42 grains of 777. [3fff] Of course I used .457 balls. I just shot one full cylinder. I hate to waste ammo. It shot real good but I could tell it was not the Walker. I had an empty baked bean can that held about a quart I guess. The wind blow's hard up here so I filled it with water to hold it down. I moved off about 30 yards and turned, drew and fired. I tore the living hell out of that can. It was spinning and kicking around but I got all 6 shots into it in about 7 or 8 seconds. That's not too bad. I could have beat that time a little with my Walker but that's still pretty good for an old man like me, first time firing the piece and all.
(by the way, I don't consider myself some sort of gunfighter or fast draw expert or anything like that)
Well, when I get on line good in August I will post some photos from here. Some of the guys may enjoy seeing them, I don't know.
I sure am glad to be back up here. Room to breathe and all if you know what I mean. I don't like it down there. Too crowded, too many people, too dirty, too many fools making too many rules.
Well, later Scrat....
