I emailed him. Got a reply pretty prompt. Faster than I get from my wife!

That was because we had just returned home about an hour before. :)

The project is definitely still ongoing, but at a slow crawl. Everyone here is just crazy busy. I have been away a lot, and my machinist friend has two young boys in sports, cadets and in school, a house, a garden, and a full time job.

More importantly, he also has a lovely wife who deserves lots of his time.

We will get there...

if it was mine I would use an older Lyman steel sight.

The Lymans are very good sights but the steel ones have become expensive with collectors buying them up. I recently searched for a Lyman 66LA for a 1950 336 waffle top and found them to go for up to $150US. I settled for an older Lyman alloy sight for $40US which will keep me going till I do find a nice all steel replacement.

If it was an original vintage rifle, I would agree but the Williams FP will function every bit as well as the Lyman at a fraction of the price.
 
All the parts and pieces are here. Now just have to find three or four hours to finish.

Don't believe it when they tell you you will have all kinds of time to do things you want when you are retired!

This is the last week of January, and I haven't even been out ice fishing yet.

Sounds like you have to learn how to say..... NO!!!!! Then take the time to enjoy your retirement!!!!!
 
I really am!

Yesterday I was at the feed store buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for our big malamute, Buddy, who weighs 151 lbs. I was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had an elephant?

So because I'm retired and have "little" to do :rolleyes:, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of several of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet. The way that it works is, you load your jacket pockets with Purina Nuggets, and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete, so it works well, and I was going to try it again. By this time, everyone within earshot was now quite attentive to my story.

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food had poisoned me. I told her no, I stopped to pee on a fire hydrant, and a car hit me.

Good thing I wasn't sipping my tea when I read this! Too funny Ted - thanks for a good laugh. I'm sure you pulled the deadpan off perfectly.

Hope you're doing well. I've got that .366 Husky you sold me shooting the NOE 280 grain GC bullet really nicely. I also used it this fall to take a coastal blacktail (with the 250 grain TTSX). Yes, slight overkill, but it's such a light, sweet handling rifle I didn't want to use the 30-30 this year. Hope you're doing well, friend! Dennis
 
Thanks for bringing this up to the top; I had somehow missed Ted's diet story. :)

I wonder...by the Canadian definition...does that qualify as a hunger strike?
