I'm pretty sure I'm bi-polar, on a CRAZY long wave schedule. Fortunately, I'll get 10-15 GREAT years, then 2 or 3 really miserable ones. So it's not half bad..
Appreciate the humor. Nice being reminded of reality.
Will get through. I always do.

Its a weee bit more complex than that. Get some stump removal powder from lowes or Home Depot. Its like %96 pure Kno3 or salt peter. Then get some sulfer and black willow charcoal. The charcoal is key to effective powder. If you make a hardwood charcoal it will be a slow burning powder and have no power.
Then you need a ball mill. Let it turn into a fine powder in a ball mill for about 6 hours then add a bit of dextrin and mill it for another 30 minutes. Strain it, wet it down till slightly damp and then press it thru a screen to make it into powder grain. Let dry and then test it by putting a thin line of it on a piece of paper, light it and watch the burn rate. It should burn fast enough that it doesnt burn the paper. A six inch line half an inch wide should flash burn in less than a second.
Im getting around 900 fps using 30 grains on a .44 caliber. If I load 50 grains in my Dragoon I have seen +1300 fps and you better have a firm grip. Fucker kicks like a mule. 100 grains in my Hawkins will leave a mark.
Just make sure you understand what your doing before attempting it. Its extremely easy but I seen bad charcoal cause the round to not make it out the barrel.

CRAP! My feet and legs swelled for the first time (except for being long hours on planes, bah) a couple months ago, when I was wearing new boots and walking thousands of miles at Bike Week in Daytona Beach. Keeps coming back now, and I HATE Coconut water.. Any other remedies?!

get rid of the SS balls. Only use lead or brass. SS can spark.Black powder making 101 notes, filed for later use, especially notes black willow char. Looks to see if ball mill is what he's heard refereed to as an automatic pistil & mortar. * looking it, sees, nods * Barrel with ss shot in it, used as the pistil, the barrel the turning mortar or versa vicea. Same difference. Or, rock tumbler. * looks up dextrin * Ah, Benefiber(tm) but they got 1lb of yellow on amazon $4, probably better to use. * watches as DEA, BATF raid Amazon now *
Yes, it was Mikhail.
That's good then that the goats didn't have horns to dig into the blind horse's eyeballs. I'm just sayin what happened to my sister's horse. Glad you didn't have to go through the same thang.I also had a blind horse. She loved the goats. She watched over Mandy when she was a baby. Mandy lived in old Grandma horse's stall with her the first couple months.
The kind that don't hold water -----> or goats.Goats eating through fences??? What kind of fences are you folks using?
Yea, nothing like getting a cyber "slap" in the face -- which is what I got on the other site. I get it I'm OLD.Yep, the one who was determined to be "authentically himself", which seemed to translate to "authentically an asshole" -- go be your authentic asshole self somewhere else!
I can't be anyone else but myself, either... but when the self I'm feeling like is antisocial, I stay out of the forum! Until I feel like playing nice with others!
Andria
Dear lord! What was she thinking?
No idea Kad, Maybe someone "coaxed" her into it. Who friggin knows.Dear lord! What was she thinking?

You're a good person Andria. I hardly ever feel anti-social, but, when I do, I may lash out, then feel bad about it, then ...... watch this!!!!!I can't be anyone else but myself, either... but when the self I'm feeling like is antisocial, I stay out of the forum! Until I feel like playing nice with others!
I don't know, I'm thinking that one guy behind her is her old man, and he's trying to buy the other guys shirt to make her wear it.No idea Kad, Maybe someone "coaxed" her into it. Who friggin knows.
Yea, these were neighbor's goats and my sister's horse was a very rare Albino. Her skin was pink, her eyes were pink and we had to coat her skin every day with special powder from the vet. She lived until 35 but was blind for about 10 years before she passed. We had a regular horse fence. The neighbors had at least 60 goats going wild....so yeah, it wasn't a very good time. I just wish people would keep their animals in their own yards. Period. I don't care if it's a goat, a horse, a dog, anything. If it's YOUR pet, keep it in YOUR yard.My goats were dehorned. It's not a good thing when they come running and jump up on you like dogs do when they're happy to see you, and a horn goes through your lip. Just safer for others to remove the horns.
My blind horse didn't have eyes. She was a top show jumper in the early 70s, and got cataracts. Her owners tried experimental laser surgery, which was extremely experimental back then. It did not go well, and burned out her eyes. She was an amazing horse though. Perfect for beginners provided they remembered to steer. She would stop if she felt them slipping. She refused to go faster if she felt they didn't have the skills, lol! She died a week after her 30th birthday.
Dang Kad, you're really studying that pic, aren't ya??? DO NOT, I SAY DO NOT, POST that belly button pic...........or, I'll have to kill you.I don't know, I'm thinking that one guy behind her is her old man, and he's trying to buy the other guys shirt to make her wear it.
Andria, you are GORGEOUS!!!!!! Keep the fucking pic if you want, but you are great. Older women are really like wine, only men with some intelligence can respect that. Others, well, they don't matter. Ya know?I should keep this pic, to refer to anytime I feel down about my cellulite thighs. Or the rest of my body, as a matter of fact. My belly may have taken on a life of its own, but compared to that, I'm a centerfold!
Andria
The thought hadn't crossed my mind. Until you brought it up. Be right back.Dang Kad, you're really studying that pic, aren't ya??? DO NOT, I SAY DO NOT, POST that belly button pic...........or, I'll have to kill you.
Hey, my wife is older than me. Does that mean I'm intelligent?Andria, you are GORGEOUS!!!!!! Keep the fucking pic if you want, but you are great. Older women are really like wine, only men with some intelligence can respect that. Others, well, they don't matter. Ya know?

Wow. That's wonderful. Maybe some day, someone will love me like that. I doubt it, but hey, life goes on, ya know?I'm really not gorgeous; I'm 55 and showing every fucking day of it! Sometimes I ask my husband, how can you stand this? (referring to my body). He grabs some portion of my anatomy and gives it a honk, and says "Because it's mine. I love it all!" So at least he makes the right noises anyway.
Andria
Dear person!!!!! Cyber slap taken. I get it.
Wow. That's wonderful. Maybe some day, someone will love me like that. I doubt it, but hey, life goes on, ya know?
OMG I think that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done!!!! Thanks Kad!!!!!You shall live for yet another day.OK Atcha, I thought about it and decided I really don't want you to kill me so I won't post "that" belly button pic. How about this one instead. Speaking of cats.
Boy have I got you fooled if you think I'm sweet.OMG I think that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done!!!! Thanks Kad!!!!!You shall live for yet another day.
That sounds great Andria. It's not ever going to happen for me. Most likely,not. The weird thing is, I really, truly LOVED my husband. It wasn't returned, so I thought there was something wrong with me. After a while, I didn't want my son to grow up watching abuse, so I kicked him out. Now, this is the odd part. My ex-husband was a Captain in the Army by the time he was 22. His whole family is Jewish and they have so much money ----it's scary. When I told my husband to leave, the whole family dis-owned him so it was a very big deal. I can remember when we were married, having the "in-laws" come to visit. He had to "teach" me, what fork to hold, what spoon to hold, at every occasion. If I spoke wrongly, I'd be chastised. NO! There's NO such thing as NEVER, etc. Being from Louisiana, it was too much. These people would show up from New Jersey in a $500,000 converted bus, and I was expected to know all the ins and outs of properness.The secret of our success as a couple is that we both realize how lucky we are to find someone who will TOLERATE us, and stick around. We snipe and bicker and yell... what my parents don't realize when we do that around them and they fuss at us about it, is that it's COMMUNICATION. If that stops, usually the relationship does too. We had nearly a year of couple therapy about 12-13 yrs ago, so we could get to "you infuriate me, you asshole, but I love you, you fucking imbecile!"
Andria
You do Kad.Boy have I got you fooled if you think I'm sweet.
That's SERIOUSLY good stuff! I've tried most everything, and that stuff has the best attributes of them all!okay - so here is what a pound of supima gold cotton looks like, sorta broken down... the big bag is 8oz... the smaller bags are not, but there are a fuckload of em...

Oh no! Watch out for that!!!! lolUh oh. I think I'm in trouble Atcha. Deb has showed up liking posts in the Woom. I feel a frying pan or two headed my way.
It can safely taste like ass, but...once it "smells" like ass, you're on your own dudeTastes like ass!
Doubly so if you tried to brew it before properly roasting and restingTastes like ass!

That's definitely key, remembering that a " normal" life will again be on the other side. I can commiserate with the pain of the wait , however.Appreciate the humor. Nice being reminded of reality.
