I try not to complain too much. what good does it do anyway? but is it just me or does anyone else get bugged when they look though the site here and people post stuff in "our town:" section that should have been posted or moved to another place on the site? I ll use an imaginary topic, its like someone starting a chat here about this certain type of lead they just found at the abandoned neighbors house. clearly such discussion belongs in the lead alloy section of the site.
ok forgive me if this is meaningless drivel and I'm just a bit bummed out because I didn't get to shoot as much today as I would have liked and the coffee maker broke this morning.

You're bummed? I can beat that.

Heck, if I don't get out to the range in the next few days,
Mrs. Winger will need to call some expert over here to talk me down off the roof.:bigsmyl2:

It isn’t your forum so either accept how it is run or don’t participate.

I get the sarcasm of the former "imaginary issue" and the realism of the latter. It is hoped that the inconvenience of a short $5.00 (in fuel) drive to the Convenience Store will alleviate your depression where they will sell you a 28 ounce, or greater, $1.98 Cup-O-Joe that'll change your outlook on Life.

The only ones that bother me are when the discussion is really about politics. Thread is about wheel weights, and then it’s about the EPA and how the government is destroying the world.

farmbif....when we find the circumstances you described we do move them to the proper place and send a message to the person that posted their post in the wrong place.

Jim, I'll go one farther then what buckwheatpaul said, if we find politics in any post in any sub-forum it goes to The Pit. We can't find them all so if anyone finds one out of place report it and we'll take a look. (Use the triangle with the !,lower left bottom of post)

back on track. the heck with them cheap plastic coffee makers, got the tea kettle and a fine mesh strainer to put over the coffee cup and let those grounds just get soaked for a little bit and the coffee is far superior to anything that ever came out of that mr coffee machine. I guess it was a wake up call realizing how off my day could be without that good morning cup o Joe

You know what's worse ?
Failing your kid and wondering what you look like in the eyes of your your kids and family after 30 yr of successful kid raising .

It runs a close second to "read the stickies" and variations on "Read the manual that information is in there" . Seriously if a person has made it this far it's really likely that they've read the book and there's just something that isn't clicking . Sure 7 for 10 it's something like HT PC linotype is still leading at 44 bhn in my 38 Short , the Lyman book really didn't cover alloy to BHN relationships and the complex relationships . In fact it kind of left me wanting to quit before I started because it cost $4-500 to cast the first keeper and harder is always the answer .

Yeah read the stickies is what I got when I had a .314 free chamber 06' that with start loads of Unique was only leading from about 4" in front of the chamber to about 4" behind muzzle with a fat lube star . Nope it's my secret and y'all just going to have to read the stickies and figure it out .

I only have to avoid everything food wise that makes eating enjoyable for about 3 days so I can have a beer with a buddy . Coffee is off limits along with iced let alone sweet tea for my BP .
We all got a 100 problems go get a percolator pot and an egg timer . It's an artform but worth it .

Didn't get to shoot as much today? I've not gotten to shoot anything in months! Count your blessing, man!

When I was young, we made coffee in a 6 quart Dutch oven. Filled it with water, brought it to a boil, and threw in some coffee grounds. Let it boil a bit, and then throw in a bit of cold water to settle the grounds. Cowboy coffee, my dad called it. Said it wasn't strong enough until you could float a horseshoe it it. And if you had to stir something into it, it should dissolve the spoon. ;)

Cowboy coffee is great we were in Colorado at a camp ground they started a large campfire and when the fire was right out came a 5 gallon pot and water and coffee a little salt and wow. I dont know if it was the coffee or the Mountains but that was the best coffee i have had. The cook also cooked Bacon and eggs all for $2 all you could eat . That was back in the late 60's when the world was less crazy.

……and the coffee maker broke this morning.

You deserve to get irritated, not having a spare coffee maker.
Our ten year old percolator is still chugging along. But there’s a NIB one in the laundry room cabinet just in case, and a stovetop percolator in the camping box in the garage.
Not to steer off topic but dates anyone else moisten the filter canister before dumping a charge of coffee grounds in it? (Ha-Ha)

I think a beef is a head of livestock. I don't much like complainers or belly achers. i try to avoid them. Beside that I stop listening to them. I choose who I talk to and who I communicate with. If you are one of the above I will ignore you. There are things you can change and those you cannot. If you get into a situatin that is run by someone else you either abide by the rules or go somewhere else.

My kitten is grabbing my arm. That is more important to me.

Guilty. and will probably be guilty in the future. Thanks to the mods for all the work you do to keep me (and others) in line. I quit trying to walk on water a long time ago.

Hmmmmmm . . . . . "Our Town" . . . .

Kind of always reminded me of the "community coffee table" located at the local Diner, Mom and Pop Restaurant or nowadays, even McDonalds located in every small town across this country . . . where good folks meet to talk about anything under the sun. All these years and I gess I never knew that whatever came up in the conversation had to be screened by the mayor or town manager . . . .

The Mods do a good job on here when it comes to the overall picture . . . and they sure don't seem to need any help from me . . . I've got too many other things to worry about. . . .

Life's too short to worry about the small things in life . . . . it upsets you? Go take a walk and enjoy the fresh air, blossoming flowers and clear your mind of the clutter and remember the things that are truly important in life . . . .
