    How I'm Spending Election Night

    Cast from the recently shipped MP 147HP PB mould that was a group buy. Powder coating with the cheap Harbor Freight ESPC gun and Harbor Freight Red, 75 at a time, baked in a cheap PID regulated toaster oven @ 400F for 15 minutes. Have about 2000 I'm going to do a few hours a night the next few days!

    I gotta figure out why my core mold keeps on dropping light cores.
    that'll probably take 5-6 hours.

    "I gotta figure out why my core mold keeps on dropping light cores."

    Probably because you are not using pure lead, or the length is too short.

    I feel soo much better waking up this morning knowing there will be powder and primers on the shelves. I went to bed when he was at 266 electoral votes. I spent the evening hitting refresh on my screen

    and maybe there just might be affordable 22 ammo on the shelves again

    yeah LaFaun I looked there first.

    I think I either have a venting issue or two of the pins are hanging up.
    I'm gonna pull it all down and polish up the adjustable pins,,,,, after I sort through all of the cores later today.

    Worked a 12 hour shift 6pm to 6am supporting COPV pressure testing, had lots of breaks to check the election news, what a great night, Trump won and the tank passed.

    I feel asleep w/ my 2yo son in my arms around 10pm EST. Sleeping through the drama was the best move I could have made.

    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    I spent mine taking a shot of whiskey every time Donald Trump won a state. Fortunately, I got a late start. Unfortunately, I got pretty dry after midnight. Didn't go to be until it was called. That was a little after 2am here. Tired today but well worth it. On the down side, I spent a lot of money this year preping for the worst (or is that the upside?). Feel like I can breath again. I've said a lot of prayers for our nation this last 12 months. Feel good about that, being a bitter clinger and what not!

    fortunately since I work graveyards I was watching a live stream of the whole thing till about 2:30am when they finally called it and I watched trumps victory speech. It was a massive sigh of relief and I felt a giant weight lift off of my chest when I knew that I wouldn't have to be disappearing off in the woods to fight to get my country back.
