Linear

I looked around The Dungeon recently and shook my head. I have dies and components to reload well over 75 different cartridges. There is no more room on my shelves to store bullets and they are stacked on the bench and just about every available flat surface in the room. The safes are full and there are various "projects" lying about in nearly every corner. There are a ridiculous number of coffee cans of brass stacked up in one corner. There are molds and sizing dies, trimmers and pilots, widgets, gee-gaws and gadgets for all sorts of purposes.

The logistics are huge.

I have come to the conclusion that simplification is needed. No more obsolete cartridges. No more exotic loadings. No more wildcats. No more making cases from something else. No more having multiple cartridges in identical calibers.

I have a 12 gauge, a .30-06 and .22LR in both rifle and pistol. They will do anything a fella wants or is likely to do. The rest are merely distractions and should be shown the door.

Sounds to me like you just need a handy storage container delivered to the back yard.....y'know, JIC you DO find some more of those 'too good/too rare/never gonna see this again 'Stuff."

Did a Family Dispersal at a re-onion over in Central Ohio....Bequeathed and gave away most everything not germane to my current/future activities. Mostly,just along your 'sporting' decisions. Except -- the Ar.223/9MM/tacky stuff.....which with any luck, will only be used to keep skills current and reflexive.

Um.....S&W revolvers stayed, too. can't be TOO hasty, in these manners. And..um..a .357 lever was co-opted by Martha Anne....her .38 spec can buster, y'see.

A good future to you and the Ms., Mr. Hoot.

Should I send you my address for a place to dispose of the unwanted excess, or do you still have it? Hope you are enjoying a wonderful birthday.

41 minutes and I think that's ONLY because I get up early. ;-)

Thanks all. Yep, the anniversary of my birth. Apparently, I interrupted my mother's supper 60 years ago.

Had breakfast with my Dad (he paid), and supper with my bride (she paid). All in all, a darn fine day!

And, no, I won't really be parting with anything weird and wonderful. In fact, I have added to the "pile"...post in the making.

Thank you all for being my friends...both cybernetically and in the flesh. This site and its' denizens mean an awful lot to me and my alleged sanity.

Cheers,
Hoot

Flaming flying tortoises. Who knew?

I don't remember what the turtle was called, but that footage was from the various giant monster (think Godzilla and Rodan etc) Japanese films from the 60's and 70's. Spent many Saturday afternoons watching them. The flying turtle was a pretty silly monster, but the most ridiculous monster in my opinion was Godzilla's little kid.

I remember fondly, Godzilla and Ro-Dan but somehow missed the jet-powered tortoises.

Happy Birthday +1, Hoot!

When we were young we couldn't wait to have a birthday because we could do more "stuff", being older you know.
Now I'm trying to hide from birthdays. It hasn't worked out well. Can't seem to figure out why?

If you were serious I'll help you out with some of those .35s you have. :)
