Not a morning person

Got out of bed and went to take my daily meds- Cozaar for my blood pressure, protonix for my stomach, tricor for my triglycerides… when I realized yesterday I took a Tricor out of a different bottle… wait, that wasn’t Tricor, it was Oxycontin. The tablets are similar in shape and size.

Explains a few things about yesterday, it does.

Tires.

Sigh.

I was hoping not to have to do this much damage to the Visa card. Sonofabitch.

Swapped out the spare for the right front and the noise all but disapeared. What remaining noise is certainly the other front tire.

Crap. There goes $500.

So I’m prepping for deer season

and this being the first year they allow pistol caliber rifles in Indiana, I’ve been looking at getting a lever in 45lc, 357, or one of the other allowable calibers.

AFAIC, there’s no sense in hunting indiana with anything but a lever, and as I’m busted, the idea of scraping together a grand- or more- before deer season doesn’t appeal.They don’t make bolties in any of the allowable calibers, so that’s out the window, and the only other choice is one of the break action guns, which are nice, but too expensive for what you get.

So I come across this listing in Numrich for a 44 mag barrel for my old 336 Marlin. As the marlin was a junk gun, almost given to me, I figured, hey, what the hell. I’ll rebarrel it. 44 mag is one of the allowable calibers. Not bad to shoot in a long gun. SO I order the barrel from Numrich, get the very last one.

Damn, this thing is nice. Looks to be headspaced properly etc, and I think it’s gonna shoot like crazy- got that Marlin Micro-groove barrel.

Some issues with the feed ramp- if you can call it that- but they;re issues I think I can easily address.

Damn, I’m gonna have me a big bore rifle to shoot this year. I can hardly wait for deer season.
