How's your day? January 2016

Thanks for the tip.

 

You're welcome. KMF lathers up great on its own, as well. There are several scents available.

 

It was 33 degrees went I went grocery shopping this morning; it's up to 47 now, but the sun's shining. Had volunteered to do a 12 today, but let someone else take it. Sleeping in and sluffing off trumps 12 hours' overtime, to me, anyway. Had my generic bowl of Cream of Wheat and three cups brewed through my Melitta 101. Might do the John Wayne cavalry triology later on, and do a short ride to keep the battery up. Other than that, it'll be a day of rest.

 

if I could only buy it in sweden...

 

I have been studying all day for a couple of days... so tired. I have a headache and my head feels heavier. Is this normal? i guess, who cares. exam on 14th of january.. FUN on my birthday!! I feel like a zombie

 

Just find an unscented cream you like and use that.

 

I hear many good things about KMF. Plus it's cheaper. I could only find TOBS and it was kinda pricey like 21$

 

It's not everyday I wait for school to open, but when I do I'm tired, it's dark and cold. At least the snow has started to melt

 

Just read about the death of David Bowie. He was only 69. Hard to believe. R.I.P. Ziggy Stardust.

 

RIP, Major Tom.

 

RIP, David.

 

And you have some company.....

 

Elation. That would be an accurate enough term for my evening last night...

Back story - Thanksgiving break, out with the wife and kids, went to Tractor Supply to look around. Son found an air rifle he liked. Wife and I went back the next day, sans offspring, and grabbed said bb gun. Wife noticed the the pink one sitting next to it, and liked it. Okay, so now son will have one, wife is getting one, well obviously now the daughter has to have one, says my wife. So, looking around, found a nice camo one.

Christmas day, we all go out and set up some cans and cardboard boxes and get to shooting, wife and son with their new Crosman's, daughter with her new Daisy, and me with my Red Rider my wife got me for Christmas two years ago. So they're firing away, making nice loud (for air rifle) pops. My little Red Rider, although accurate as all get out, just isn't as powerful, makes me wish my old old Powerline 881 was still good.

Which, then, caused me to do some research that afternoon.

Ahh! Rebuild/restore kits! Sweet! (kit = basically two larger 0-rings, a smaller o-ring, and foam "wiper" ring, and a plastic "hat" shaped thing)

So, order, receive order, fire up youtube, and get to work. Too excited, didn't watch 13 minute video all the way through, so I replaced the two larger o-rings, couldn't figure out where smaller went, brushed it off as maybe it's for slightly different models; ignored the plastic piece, as the one in it still looked fine, reassembled and went out and "ptooey". It at least projected the bb, instead of just letting it roll out the barrel.

Hmmm.

So, I figure maybe I needed to replace the hat looking thingie. It'll wait awhile....

Fast forward to "awhile", which was last night.

Took back apart, replaced "hat" thingie, but while I was there, I noticed a nut I hadn't before (took it apart further this time). Hmmmm.....but it's under all the trigger mechanisms, that looks like a nightmare to deal with. Back to video....

Well, that's not so bad. Removed trigger parts, removed aforementioned nut, ah-ha! That's where small o-ring goes. Replaced, reassembled, went back outside, and


POW!!

Heck yeah!

Always a good feeling to accomplish something successfully, even better when sentimental value is attached. Was so stoked I made everyone come out and see

Then got supper cooking, and in between I'd go out and shoot a few more rounds.

Yep, elation.


Next, disassemble again to sand and repaint the barrel shroud, and maybe even the receiver box. But, that'll be later...

 

Have fun with your newly restored BB refile and be safe. I have an old Crossman i still pop off now and again.

 

Was exactly her inspiration for acquiring it

 

I've got a GAMO Bone Collector 1300 FPS pellet rifle that I've been meaning to take out and plug some rabbits with. Talk about loud! Thing sounds like a .22 when it goes off. They actually recommend hearing protection when firing it. And it's got built-in noise suppression!

 

That's what my dad got a few months back, and what I'm keeping an eye on for a special or price drop

 

The Bama-Clemson kickoff is about 30 minutes from now, should be a good game.
