    "Daddy, why are you washing bb's ?"

    SO, my daughter comes over to visit, I'm at the sink, yes- washing bb's. Out of clean bb's and #5 containers - need to coat some 357 150's pink for other daughter. don't want to make the trek to Wally world.

    In my best Tony Stark voice / attitude (for you Marvel fans), "this isn't the weirdest thing you've seen me do" .

    She gives me the stink eye, (a total pro at stink eye), "fine, whatever, where's the smoked pork ?"

    I love my girls !!!

    Smoked pork...My mouth is watering already! Haven't had a chance to smoke any yet this year. Did some traffic purple from Smoke but my granddaughters inform me it is not pink! Getting ready to coat some 32 SW long boolits and will do them in pink for them. What a great revolver caliber to start young kids on. Low recoil,low noise with wadcutter loads and accurate as well. We have a 8 inch gong at 25 yards with a cardboard backer. I have a Czeckpoint revolver with 4" bbl and it is awesome for training young shooters. They get about 50% on gong and the rest we can see where they hit. Sorry for hijacking the thread but just visited 8 year old granddaughter in hospital after emergency appendix surgery. She is fine and the best shooter LOL Praise God. I had the same surgery a year ago and know what she is going through. Your friend Oily

    Oily, no worries, great on her recovery !, kids bounce back quickly, and she has her first scar (maybe first ?) lol

    First run of the year, older daughter is a meat mgr at local Krogers, I have a standing order for her to pick up anything good on sale. This was a 10 lb pork shoulder at $0.99 a pound.

    I mainly wash them to keep my wife thinking I'm not right in the head . . .

    though now it doesn't take much for her to believe I'm still nuts
