Cabin fever

What is the best topic to discuss in an attempt to combat cabin fever?

[bangerjim]

Obummer and the Damocraps.

Doe Run?

[btroj]

Doe run! No more lead. Ever. Ammo will be harder to find than an honest politician but hoarders will still be evil.

[cbrick]

What's wrong with the lead from Doe Run, they mine it right there in MO. Why would there be no more lead? Why is Doe Run in the poll? Very confusing. Maybe that would be a good conversation, why Doe Run is in the poll?

I voted cabin fever. I'm waiting for the ice between here and Ar. to abate so the postal gal will be able to bring my custom MBT pillars.........

Gear

[btroj]

Why? Because it lends itself so well to tinfoil hat discussions, strong opinions, feuding.

Nothing wrong with the lead at all but as we have heard 48,294 times in the past 2 months they are closing due to EPA actions and the US won't have any primary Smelters.

Come on Rick, think of fact you won't be able to buy truly virgin lead anymore.

If we discuss "Lubes" that always seems safe for cabin fever ! Another may take us to places we really don't want to go ( like Flux Vs. Reductants!!!) Also we can talk about the weather ....That sucks over much of the US.... Or maybe "The best alloy to make boolits" that should be safe:mrgreen:

All right, so Dillon vs. Lee it is! Finally, a feud I think we can all agree on!

I think we should discuss cabins, and not using reloads in your CCW because they will be used against you in court.

[dragon813gt]

Dillon vs Lee? I choose Forster.

Depends, does your state have a cabin doctrine law?

Reloads for defense? Are you kidding? Definite way to get sued. Besides, did the Col ever write about hand loads for defense carry? If not written by the Col it just doesn't matter.

Thought you'd never ask!

So (as LL says) there I was, bigger than life. Back side of an 8-section ranch in the craggy limestone valleys of the West Hill Country. The rancher and I had tracked a wounded mountain lion on foot through the morning, but it was getting hot and we were miles from water. After turning back and hiking for another couple of hours up a goat trail that lead, more or less, back to the nearest windmill, we were starting to see spots that weren't there. Right about the time I stopped sweating and got a tingly dry chill, I noticed the sky was starting to cloud up suddenly for one of our famous afternoon summer heat showers. We found a shady spot under an overhanging rock on the lee side if the sun and waited, sucking on cactus pears for a drop or two of moisture. Then the rain came. But no way to catch the meager, two-minute shower. I tried to catch some in the occular bell of my scope, but not dice. The water hitting the rock formations boiled off almost instantly. BUT, as we were dispairing, we noticed that the trail we'd been following was littered with dried goat hoofprints perfectly formed in mud from a previous rain weeks before. Every one of them was filled with clean, clear water held by the compacted brown adobe mud. We broke off some dead yucca stalks to make straws and drank our fill out of hundreds of tiny, blessed, little goat hoofprints before it soaked in. Like I said, best water I ever drank. Probably got a lifetime dose of Penicillin that day, too, but don't ask me if I cared at the time.

laughing too hard to make fun of the LIGHT diet coke.

It isn't diet coke, it is coke light. 500 ml bottles too. About 18.5 ounces for us Americans.

They sell the same stuff in South Africa and it was just as good.

What a bunch of heathens. Damn goat track suckers.....

You were in South Africa and you didn't buy a REAL Coke? I hear they bottle the GOOD stuff there, made with real sugar because it's cheaper than corn syrup there. I know that's true in Zimbabwe, at least, I knew a fellow in the dorms my freshman year who had it shipped in by the case, little 10-oz glass bottles with pry-off lids.

We didn't buy any Coke, it was included. They do use cane sugar there, my daughter liked the pineapple Fanta.

The Coke Light has a slightly different taste, they must use a different sweetener.

I don't know what the rest of the world's fascination is with sparkling water. Both RSA and Italy had it, none for me please. I want my water still.

[M Hicks]

Had some Red Stripe beer in Venezuela one time. Two of them gave me the worst hangover I have ever felt. Found out it had formaldehyde in it. The stuff didn't taste that great either. It was cold though. Looking back, I would have rather sucked on a goat track.

I've done burials at sea before and you gave me an idea. Get loaded into a 5" and blasted off a ship.

A family very close to me did that with one of their childhood friends of 60-some-odd years, with whom I'd been acquainted for some time as well. He had always said he wanted to go out "with a bang". He died peacefully in his sleep, so they decided to fulfill his wishes by shooting his ashes out of a 2-3/8 salute cannon that they made years before for ringing in new years and celebrating independence day. They shot Dennis off a cliff overlooking his home with 1/4 cup of 2F and a stack of cardboard wads. Lots of crying, cheering, and laughing and getting to be ok with letting go of a dear friend.

I heard Zombies were taking the place over and so they closed the gates with them all inside.

For something different, a post from Craigslist;

You were the hot brunette with curves that farted near the produce this weekend. I was the tall guy next to you that looked over and asked, "Was that you?" You quickly replied "No... Wasn't me!" You almost seemed insulted I would ask. As the stink grew you continued to deny your flatulence, but it was evident. I tried to get rid of the stench by waving a couple loafs of bread from La Panier. You proceeded to storm off in an angry manner. You are beautiful and even though you are a liar and fart like a Clydesdale, I would love to meet up for a drink sometime.

Yep, and I made sure to wrap it in 00 steel wool as well.

I like to just pick up a handful of metal shavings from the floor under the drill press...

Steel wool costs money!

Sometimes I use 200 grit valve grinding compound. Now that gets a barrel CLEAN!!

Wrap a bit of sandcloth around your rod when you chuck it in the drill...

If you make it a sticky, then nobody will read it. Then they'll come on and ask "What do you discuss for cabin fever" followed by a bunch of people telling them to read the sticky. Then we end up with a family feud, which will require an additional 14 pages to hash out.

MOLLE? Isn't that the drug Miley Cyrus sings about?

LL, have you been twerking again?

[Pb2au]

It depends. From what they say, the QC department has to stay sober to ensure high quality tactical zombie bacon, bacon grease ointment, and lead/bacon grease based line of children's toys and nursery paint. "Doe run brand paint, the one that sticks with you for a lifetime" is the current motto.
As for the production floor, game on. No restrictions on alcohol or smoking. This is why I applied. They do caution about being drunked up near the zombie and bacon grease blender however. They don't restrict it, just a friendly suggestion.

It is a twerk friendly work environment btw.

I think I have about 42 different little packages stuck all over the place,
so hopefully I'm a shoe in for the job now.

the wife really got bent when I velcroed the back door shut.
but I definitely know when someone comes in the house now.
oh and does anyone know where I can get a cup holder for my Armalite M-15nm I really need some doo-dads on it and I think the glow in the dark paint on the front sight and the flat green stocks might not be tacticool enough for the application picture.

[btroj]

Man, this whole site issue is making the cabin fever worse. It is getting bad enough that Runs post almost seems reasonable.

Why do you need a cup holder though? Don't you have a tacticool Camelback? I know a guy who has some he will give to you........

[Pb2au]

Cupholders are pretty good multiple-taskers. They hold rolls of Velcro, cups, Velcro, the latest edition of tactical bacon AR digest. You can put your 1 billion lumen tactical light in it and signal straight up. Tactical pouch storage. Lots o uses.
Velcroing the doors on your house make good sense. Be patient, she will see the wisdom.
Lights, lots of lights on your rig. That is key. There is no lighting in the Doe run plant so workers have to supply their own. The best way to identify a coworker is to click the light on and jam the muzzle in their face so you can see them better.

[btroj]

Velcro doors on the house? Run, how the heck are you going to sneak back in after a late night out with the boys?

I can see where the Velcro doors could blow your cover with the better half. But, if you just deploy your grappling iron from your swat/tactical/Doe run work gear, you should be able to scale to the roof, grease yourself up and slide down the chimney.

[quilbilly]

Or can we talk about if we could have only one source of pure virginal lead in a closing of Doe Run, what would it be?
Doe Run is not a viable answer.
We could reveal where there are deposits of lead ore that we can mine ourselves and just get rid of the silver that is mixed in with it. I know such a place in far eastern Nevada 50 miles from the nearest town with a herd of elk guarding it next to a fine trout stream.
