Friday, I needed a mental health day, just because. Figured I had a lot of options of things to do that were fun, including the range, camping, gun shopping around town.... A bunch of possibilities.
When I woke up that morning, though, I realized that it has been a LONG time since I did anything with casting. My life got turned upside down about eight years ago and it's been too long. Although I've done some reloading here and there, it wasn't extensive, really.
So, I rolled out of bed (after lounging around in bed with the doggies for far too long). Even knowing it was supposed to be about 95 degrees outside and a possibility of rain, I decided to roll the dice and smelt out some wheel weights. They've been sitting in my garage for what seems like forever and it just seemed like the thing to do.
Of course, that mess stinks to high heaven and I always wonder if the neighbors are going to complain. Nope. I have the greatest neighbors. The one that lives behind me even poked her head over the wall and had about a thousand curiosity questions. No complaints at all, just genuine interest.
I have the best neighbors......... :)
And yeah, fun stuff. Well, maybe except for that afternoon and yesterday and today. I've rediscovered some muscles I had forgotten about. Dang, I'm sore now. I didn't weigh out or count anything but I'm estimating that I smelted out about 150 pounds of lead ingots.
Of course, now I need to cast a bunch of them into boolits. Been a long time since I did that, too.
