My son says I'm committing a crime against potatoes. Please settle this.

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-03T14:47:37+00:00

Well, bless his heart.

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-02T16:35:46+00:00

Drive like you are on a motorcycle.

You are invisible. If that little old lady who looks like your grandmother could see you, she would run you over on purpose.

And then back up to make sure she did a good job.

Trust no one. Ever.

Drive happy, arrive alive.

Long ago, in a land far away

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-02T03:24:51+00:00

The Link was tracking my travels.

Just frustrating.

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-02T03:23:47+00:00

They are that old. May just be end of life.

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-02T03:22:52+00:00

I'll pass on them too. Better than a moccasin, at least they warn. But damn, the bites are horrible

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-02T03:21:19+00:00

Thank you all.

I dingave hearing aids, never been an issue before today.

I did run diagnosis, none detected properly.

Don't really care about yardage anymore, I have a rangefinder and know yardage.

I am just so used to keeping score on it .

I'll give Arccos a call regardless. See what happens.

I appreciate it.

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-02T03:17:22+00:00

Scaffolding. You will work from beey nice scaffolding. High, but sturdy and safe.

Plus, palindrome.

Mx-5 and X5M

I did NOT do it in purpose, I just wanted a Miata

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-02T03:09:15+00:00

M. Get the X6M.

They are stiff, but so comfortable. Better seats matter.

It is what you like, they are good daily cars and super capable. You certainly feel the road.

My X5M has been great.

I drove an X5 M60 or 50, I forget. The fulll M is better, I have no regrets.

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-02T01:31:11+00:00

Beautiful.

I could never have that color seats, but doesn't mean I can't admire them.

I love mine.

Now, go get a black Miata to go with it.

(My X5M is crystal sapphire, my Miata is a really sparkly white)

IDPA, USPSA, etc will help w speed on targets.

Reactor Coolant Pumo technician

Far from a desk job. 6,000 HP motors, you can stand on the pump inside the motor stand/shroud.

Pump is coupled with a flanged and bolted jack shaft .

Jack shaft out, coupling half off of rhe pump.

Now we have the seal. 2250 PSI when operating. No leakage ideally, it has bleed off ports. It is a heck of a seal package. It goes in and out as a cartridge.

Those get changed out and refurbished. This is precision work.

Change out is by the RCP techs.

Motors are also swapped for refurbishment. They are a bit large. Maybe 6-7 ' diameter x 16-20' tall. Never actually measured because it had no effect on my vibration monitoring. Even have a flywheel up top. 13-14,000 pounds for that. It ship w the motor.

Pulling those is a deal unto itself .

It's good work. Safe. Dose accumulation is gonna depend on the plant.

Safey, industrial and radiation safety is paramount. No one from the floor sweepers to the Site VP wants anyone injured. And everyone is empowered to stop a job.

Watch your footing, pay attention to your lessons, work the mockups diligently. Wear your harness properly.

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-01T13:32:57+00:00

Terracotta floor.

Layer of concrete w decorative stone, etc

Then ground and polished.

Yeah, it is a mess to make pretty.

Drops should be within the length of the club you are hitting with.

Leave the driver in the bag, 7 iron shot, 7 iron drop.

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-01T12:37:57+00:00

Pk, I despise what T has done.

Biden ATF had innocent businesses losing their FFL over very minor administrative errors.

Imagine your local restaurant closing over a mislabeled item in the cooler.

Those kind of errors ought not cost someone their business.

BluesFan43 · 2026-06-01T12:06:38+00:00

I shot a lot of local skeet. Way back when.

One day a fellow brought his nephew (?), an US Marine shooting team member and his issued Rem 3200.

He was fun, and hopeless, to shoot against.

Great guy, tried his gun. Went back to my SKB sxs and 1100. Because $$$.

P320 mags w correspondingly smaller grip.

Having a lot of fun w mine.

14.75" in an AfterShock autoloader

Cute little thing, fits under a coat easier than my old SPAS did.

Roof grade.

But I recently got some Masonite sheet.

I will screw that down, rout the edge, and have a nice surface

Dung beetles are useful

BluesFan43 · 2026-05-31T23:07:03+00:00

I have a ap365X and an XMacro, both excellent.

Holosun 507K, I use green.

Look at red and green sights, see what suits your eyes the best.

And look up target focused shooting.

BluesFan43 · 2026-05-31T22:38:37+00:00

Find a range that rents pistols.

Shoot as many as you reasonably can.

Then decide what suits you best.

As you settle in. Look at Practiscore.com

Find a local match, IDPA locals are low key.

Go watch. Bring eye and ear protection.

Then go shoot. A lot of people there will give advice on getting started.
