is NOT a good texture for a fart.
In fact, no texture is a good texture for a fart.
Fart and texture should probably be mutually exclusive.
This mostly is the result of some conflict with some Panda Express Orange CHicken, loaded with MSG.
Tractor ran a little ragged. Have to see if the head gasket has failed, Kohler engines are so damned hard on head gaskets it’s not funny. Plus, I suppose I ought to either wire up the damned bolts or put on new lockwashers. I suppose the old lockwashers have only been on there for thirty five years.
Planted two nice rosebushes outside the daughter’s bedroom window. I was born in the morning- but not this morning.
Helped the NPCCC clean up their stretch of highway (two miles of Rt 6 in Chesterton) Found half empty whiskey bottles, inflatable sex dolls, and a sex toy made to look like the rear end of a sheep. Suppose it is farm country. Lots of damned beercans. People who drink Bud, Old style and smoke Chesterfields. And coffee from Speedway.
figuring out how to reload. He points out- and he’s exactly correct- that the instructions they give you for reloading are sparse and incomplete. Kim even mentions that this is what keeps him from reloading, and I don’t blame them. Anything that gave me this much trouble, I would run from.
I suppose that it would be bad form to tell them that I bolted my press to a bench, installed the dies, and began reloading in about five minutes. “Oh, this is what takes out the primer. And sizes the case.And this one expands the casemouth. And this is the primer, and this is the piece that puts the primer in, and this is the way to measure the powder, and this is the die that seats the bullet” I spoiled four cases getting the dies set right.
This shit comes naturally to me. As it does to a lot of people. I don’t blame anyone for the frustration, and frankly, if you’re not heavily naturally mechanically inclined, this can be daunting. But it’s not impossible. Steve will master this as he’s mastered everything else, and Kim could easily as well. Sometimes it’s just having someone take you by the hand, or getting the right reading materials. If you want to do something bad enough, you can figure it out.
