Bought a Remmie parts gun (see pic attached) at an auction a few weeks back , sold off the excess nipples (kept one spare set), powder measure so all told I am into for about $100.USD . Once I had a chance to look it over this morning swapped out a couple of parts and little cleaning and I'm hoping I have a shooter - taking it to the range tomorrow.

So out to the range this morning and we have a shooter fired paper cartridges with Goex 2F and conical bullets dipped in 60/40 Beeswax and Olive oil. She's shooting point of aim at 15 yards  &\?

I ate a couple Dominos Pizza brownies for breakfast, did a little forum serfing. This afternoon I went to the Hospital imaging center to have an MRI on my head in an attempt to find out why my left ear has constant feeling of aural fullnes [look it up ] and frequent buzzing [not ringing],
I had experienced a gradual loss of hearing in my right ear over a period of time. After an MRI, I got a call from my Dr. saying I had a tumor growing against the brain stem (auditory neuroma). My choices were radiation (tumor would stay) or surgery to remove it. I opted for surgery. Long story short, tumor was benign, but lost what little hearing I had in the ear. Fingers, I hope you have a simple solution to your problem.

For being around heavy equipment, combat vehicles and loud guns for more than 50 years, I have very little hearing loss.  Have appt to see one of the top hearing guys in the nation early September.  We'll see then.

I spent an hour making a part for the repriming station for a 20 ga. shotgun reloading press and finding a spring for it (the easy part). Yeah, I could have ordered the parts for about $5.00 (plus shipping) but where is the fun in that?

Started going through 4 shoe boxes of BP stuff.  Found 3 sets of Slixshot nipples and a set of BS/TG & grips for a Pietta 1851 Navy.  May have to start an Internet garage sale. lots of pieces parts.  I think there are a couple more BS/TG buried in the boxes yet. One of the boxes is filled with badges from all the SASS matches I've been to in the last 20 years

I took my wife to the Dr. today as she has been having PVCs daily for the last 10-12 days. He said it was the benign type PVCs and gave her a prescription.

Yup. They aren't harmful but can really make you feel , well...not good. Don't ask how I know.
