6.8mm Range Report
Sunday, May 4th, 2008Lawn Mowers
Sunday, May 4th, 2008A couple weeks back I noted that a friend had given me a riding lawn mower, but it needed some repair. Well, I got the verdict on it this week: DOA. The frame’s bent up a fair bit, and the repair shop didn’t feel good about telling me it was a good idea to fix the thing up.
So… we Economically Stimulated the local Lowe’s and picked up a new riding lawn mower. Total time to mow the lawn is now 1.5 hours, down from 4 hours it took with the tiny push mower. This is good.
In other news my Brother in Making Crazy Shit has a lawnmower with what’s probably got a decent 18hp engine in it for spare parts. I’m thinking remote controlled track driven snow plow right now. Leave suggestions in comments.

Sunday, May 4th, 2008Two months ago I got a new guide rod for my 1911. I finally got it to the range on Sunday and sure enough, it works perfectly.
The same can’t be said for the loose nut behind the grip though. Holy crap have I got some trigger control issues.
In related news I sat on this little upgrade for two whole months without taking it to the range that’s two whole minutes from my house.
