We got a Colt Walker kit today. It's a famous black powder pistol.

My kids and I disassembled it, cleaned all the parts, and blued them today.

Tomorrow we will try to shape, and finish, the walnut grips.



Cool fact: black powder guns can just be ordered through the mail.

Ok this is cool as hell... how much and where did you get it from??

Dixie Gun Works. https://www.dixiegunworks.com/index/page/category/category_id/312/name/Guns+%26+Gun+Kits

They sell kits for flintlocks too, which I will get one some day.

The blueing that we've done to it has taken really well. I've got to figure out where I'm going to buy black powder for it now.

This is really awesome thanks!

Might be a little expensive for my tastes but they look cool as poo poo.

I gave in and started Tiger King today. I've never been to Oklahoma, but turns out I was pretty correct about what it's like.

The show is one hell of ride start to finish.

Also the memes it has spawned are on point.

Went to the store, spent over $200 on groceries for the next couple weeks. Almost half of that money was blown on booze and mixers. Mostly gin. No regrets.

What brand of Gin?

This matters.

I've been thinking about something.
And now I want you to think about something too.

Are you ready?


The bologna you get to make a bologna sandwich is totally different than the bologna you get if you make bologna for dinner, but they're purported to be, and one would assume them to be by virtue of color and other similarities, the same product. However even bolognas made by the same producer are very different whether you're getting the sandwich or dinner variety, but they're both CLEARLY marketed as 'bologna' and not differentiated in that capacity.

Who TF eats bologna for dinner?

gently caress that, for $16.50 I'll send you a kraft american cheese single that slid under my fridge two years ago.

Does that include shipping? These Wisconsin fuckers want $25 for shipping.

The precision comes at the cost of a nasty loving nick or two per month for probably the first two or three months, after that you're golden unless you try shaving hungover, which you'll do about once or twice per month.

This is 100% why I haven't done it yet.

The old safety razor and a badger brush do me just fine and are cheap as chips.

Eh there are some studies which say doing over 45min to an hour gives limited to no benefits but bodies are weird and he could be an outlier. That’s per session so doing two a days with proper nutrition would be different.
