Hi All. Long time reloader/handloader, short time caster. (6 months) I'm a two gun Son-of-a-gun. I'm now down to two calibers of my interest, 30-06 and 45 ACP. (Oh, and 22LR. Everybody loves a 22!) I cast for both, 2 varieties for each. I began reloading with my Dad as a child. It has been an on and off passion for 50 years. (I'll be 62 in March) I love to play around with different loads, but have my “Pet” loads of course.
I'm retired. So I have a LOT of time to play in my shop. I'm retired. So of course I have more time than money. /images/emoticons/134.gif (The imbalance is staggering!) :P
I've been a Grandpa since I was 35. And Grandson #5, Grandchild #10, was born in November. I like to fish as well as shoot. Mostly I like to Bench rest shoot high power. But also bang the gong with the 45. on metallic targets. I don't take anything too seriously, but I do get seriously focused on my projects.
What else? Well, I've been on the web since the bulletin board days, and before Al Gore invented the Internet. :wtf: I use to have to grind out pages with HTML code. I like interacting with folks. But often they take me the wrong way. I'll call a spade a spade, and where I come from Coke was a soft drink. And a hoe was for cuttin weeds in the garden. Life's been tough, and life's been sweet. But that's life. I've done my share of huntin. But anymore paper and steel targets are my fun.
I see a few familiar faces here. Folks I like and respect. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Whew! That's a lot for a two fingered, hunt and pecker typist... Hit send....
