In 1989, I took my first long motorcycle trip, from MN, to the west coast.
I normally have short hair, right before the trip, I got a haircut...extra short.
after the first day of travel, a very sunny day of Freeway driving across S. Dak, we ended up near Rapid City, not only was my scalp burnt, but I had a bad case of dehydration...probably closer to death than I realized. Lesson learnt, a helmet or a bandana on the head, and bring lots of water or be sure to drink plenty of water at gasoline stops.
Oh were you talking about casting? LOL
Here's one I've never mentioned to anyone...don't load dummy rounds with live primers, then try to melt the lead boolit out of the case, cause your RCBS collet bullet puller won't grab that lead boolit and you don't have an inertia puller. That day, I ordered the Lyman inertia (hammer style) bullet puller, after I cleaned up 99% of the lead splatters (and my shorts).
