THE Random Chat Thread - AKA "The RCT" - No shirt or shoes required - Open 24 / 7

Good morning blossom
Well there might be a 12 step program that covers this one.
But I will not be crossing the threshold, and attending any such meeting.
Nope I will keep this heathy addiction.

Now for some type of help for you-
Fondle some finds

Do some mapping
Fondle some finds

Play with settings
Fondle some finds

Start planning mental health day off
Fondle more finds
Sudden case of workload stress-need day(s) off
Thanks Peps xx great advice💕… have meetings this week… so have booked 16th off for an extra day 😆… someone is writing a book about one of our sites so will get the finds from that area out nd gaze at them 😆 xx thank you xx 🤗
 

Well I really had a hard time doing up a post of the hunt Friday.
I hit post reply by accident before the post was done, then had to edit it for every inserted picture-then the upload was painfully slow-but it kind of came together-but I wasn't really set on posting till it was complete.

I need to get the downloading feature sorted between phone and desktop sorted, as trying to do everything off a phone is a pain.

Thank to @releventchair for your help in the ID process of the gun, much appreciated in learning what things were and what they were for.

It's one thing finding things, but it takes more time sorting/cleaning/and posting up-and time is a rare thing sometimes it seems.

(pepper starts looking under emergency British help line # for sick puppy employees)
Keyboard screen getting blurry at the sadness of thinking of such stressful events


Your one brave Piratess going that long without digging in the old soils.:notworthy:

The book thing sounds cool-maybe a picture will be inserted of your found treasures. :headbang:

You're welcome but I was treading water. Worse the more I tried! l.o.l..

I learned a couple parts hand on.
Would be interesting far into the future to watch someone try to figure out what and why I did what I did on my first blackpowder rifle build.
Mistakes were made. And some things learned that if I wasn't stubbornly acceptedly content with my efforts; would have had the rifle hidden away from critique!
But it sure saw a lot of use and good times. Once or twice a month at varied shoots for years.
Too bad I didn't keep track of how many times it was fired the first few years. It was substantial.

But early on......
Friend asks...
Umm , did you put that rear sight on backwards on purpose?
Umm , most folks peen the sight itself to secure it in it's dovetail. But peening your barrel worked too. (Me , blush.)

Then there is the big notch in the side of the stock. No , not to indicate a kill. But rather a caught in a door incident...
Did I mention the stock is an orange / blond color?

I've a French Fusil repro a real craftsman (unlike myself) built.
I need to date the pattern of.
It'll come out around 1727 maybe. Late1600's earliest maybe.

Gifted a friend a rifle another (real) craftsman built out of a piece of tiger maple that might make you scream it's so nice and tightly grained ; that was built after a rifle of the mid sixteen hundreds.
Learned a lot from that rifle and research into others.
Still , it takes me a lot of parts and more to be very sure of anything.
As much can be done by builders, or those modifying old arms.
 

I didn't wear a dust mask time before last running the leaf bagger on the mower. Cloud of dust!
Even though I had damp leaves.
Wore mask last time....Better!
Blades on mower about shot from sucking sand /dust/stones/sticks ect..
The rain is so needed but now I'm stuck inside had things to do outside. This tiny apartment that's part of my uncles house drives me nuts being stuck in by myself. Nothing to do in here I've kept everything clean and well organized so nothing to work on in here. My anxious brain left to it's own devices is not fun

Ya. You don't strike me as the knitting type. Yet.. l.o.l..

Not sure what clean and organized looks like anymore , but it's great you do!

Top of the day to you John
It's a good time to research/map out sites.
When the long winter days get on me.
I map, with thought I might have a look one day.
Pins on Google Earth are many.
