    A great morning

    I just came back in from casting 30+ pounds of 9MM and 38 bullets. got up at about 5am and set up the pot outside and plugged it in. got the other stuff together and started casting about 6am. Everything went perfectly, heated up the molds on the edge of the pot and the first bullets out were fine, and they just popped out like clock work. I finally got 3000 small pistol primers and saw I was low on bullets for .38 special, .357 Mag and 9 MM. A little after 9am it started to drizzle so I brought everything into the garage to cool down, I gave a bunch of the 158 Gr. 38's a coat of 45-45-10 and the are drying now. Everything went so well this morning I may buy a lottery ticket.

    Tyrants use the force of the people to chain and subjugate-that is, enyoke the people. They then plough with them as men do with oxen yoked. Thus the spirit of liberty and innovation is reduced by bayonets, and principles are struck dumb by cannon shot: Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma

    Days like that get me through 10 bad ones. It's the reminder that the more I practice the more often I have good days. I realized a long time ago we get good at what we practice, sounds simple doesn't it. But being the lazy sucker that I am, practicing in my mind is so much easier.
