- Just finished watching a 2 year old 3 part DOKU on the life of Abraham Lincoln.
It was nice to learn a bit more about a person i largely only knew by name, and of course a few scattered hall mark events.
Also a remider of the Danes history which in the same years suffered a great setback by the hands of those pesky Germans when they took a huge chunk out of the southern part of our nation.
So back then the Americans win the south, Danes lost the south, though after ww1 we did get a little back, though we was offered it all. Okay i am officially totally bummed out.
Went to my stoprage today to grab a few CDs to compile some more MP3 mix tapes for the car, and to my out right horror and disbelief i found out that my CD collection is all but a fraction of the vinyl collection i in my almighty youthful stupidity sold ( many 100 kilos of vinyl )
So pretty much all the old stuff with scorpions / Judas priest and many other i never required on CD,,,,,,
So right now i sit here in front of the computer on youtube listening to Judas priest 1976 album Sad wings of destiny and feel pretty sad.
And a credit card in my back pocket that is just itching to be used,,,,, and i do think i will have to cave in.
Not least as right now The ripper started to play and my head start to go back and forth with the hair that is only .177 long so no shaking of that.
I can not believe i have diluted myself for so many decades
On the + side, i can still air drum to all of those tracks we played in the youth centers music room in the early 80ties. If only my night vision camera supported fast charge, CUZ then with new stuff i would be able to charge it in ( /me snap fingers )
165 watts in the charger, but cable only support 140 watts.
But at least when my new power bank arrive ( +27.000 mah just enough for TSA to allow it on planes )
Well i can charge that fast too, and if not in the car it do also come with a 165 watts gan wall charger
240 watt total discharge available on power bank ( 2 X USB C and 1 X USB A ), sadly my " old " laptop do not support USB charging it need a stupid old school barrel plug to be charged.
PS. In a long summer days worth of shooting, lets just say my phone do not have very much juice left in the end of one of those days if the chrono have been in use all day, even if 100 % charged when i start slinging lead.
But that is no longer a problem
Be careful what you pull.
It is funny how things work in other places.
Take for instance this tracking update on a parcel from China.

International flight has arrived
Jan 12 2025 07:06 am
· Padborg, Capital Region of Denmark, DK "
I very much doubt that a international flight arrived in Padborg, CUZ while there is a airport there, also one of the 3 "race tracks" we have in Denmark.
Then the runway is just 1000 M long and i sure as hell never heard of any Dane going on holiday on a plane from Padborg.
Second. " Capital region of Denmark "
Padborg is on the Danish / German border in the Jutland part of the country ( that be the sane part of Denmark )
And it is just about as far from our vile capitol as you can get 225 KM as the crow fly or 325 Km if you want to drive between the 2 places ( mainly the E 45 and E20 motorways )
Very unusual i went to bed early, and fell asleep in only 2 hours, resulting me getting out of bed at 4 AM
So had some time to kill before i grabbed my gear and headed for the shot shed.
Being the smart guy i am i TXTed my M8 saying i was leaving home soon, and so when i arrived at his place 50 minutes later, the diesel heater was humming in the shed, which was nice CUZ just below freezing.
I then got a shock opening the door to the shed, CUZ most of the floor was filled with firewood, so we had to sort and stack that before there was room at the 2 benches, so we did, and also cranked up the wood burning oven.
So today’s session was a bliss and great fun was had dispatching the 400 13 grain slugs i had brought with me.
A little windy though so at 125 yards some times a pellet would land 4-5 inches from your aim point, but other times,,,, bang on.
amd ,most often acceptable inaccuracy. When you have trouble telling the time.
Probably not worth the paper it is written on.
One could also mention the so called Monroe doctrine of 1823, where the Americans would remain neutral on European politics and respect established colonies. A excellent prank to pull at some urinals.
Of course even if you can muster such forceful stream i advise to use water in a squees bottle.
But anyone " occupied " at the urinal probably be very freaked having a that big caliber discharger right behind them.
What we Danes do in Winter.
I am thinking in these days of not hot enough
As the little oven have a hard time pumping up thevolume,,,,, sorry heat in the shot shed.
Maybe upgrade to a proper oven, and instead of piping strait out the back of the shed, go up and out the roof with the not insulated chimney pipe.
You can trust Mike.
When i have been shopping airguns.
Americans will do any format but metric.
The perpetual conundrum.
Not licenced construction going on in my friends fields, these little bastards though, experts in trench warfare, so make it hard for the lone sniper.
Making my point on a gas tank nozzle at 60 M ( zeroed for 55 )
If you do not want to say it with words, to that person that's not at all cool.
Send this picture.
I visited the local store Gunpit on Friday, and got to handle various daystate - brocok - RTI and FX rifles.
I dunno what happened but all of the rifles felt quite small and fragile, well compared to my old Maverick and not least my Two which is like a sledgehammer in comparison with those little bulpup rifles.
BRK ghost felt fine though, Smol but fine, still like to get me some trigger time on one.
Also my M8 i brought along, well it seem the FX rifle ( Panthera ) he like / dislike in pictures, well hands on he is now sure that will be just fine for him, the big question is where to find the substantial amount of money for it.
In all fairness it do not take my M8 much work to dislike just about anything. It is range time !!!
Or that is, first it is buy and put EHD tarp on roof of shot shed time, CUZ the damn thing is taking in water.
And as it is also electrified mow ( mains and USB power ) well we cant have that.
But by noon i think we will be back up and running, which give me 4 hours to play with stuff ( ammo ) before it get dark
On the good side i found the tarp in a place we know well ( have driven 4x4 RC truck competitions there )
So the route is well known.
I only driven there 1 time, and took the #2 spot after my M8, but we also have about a decade head start on most other people there.
As a bonus the route go past the Town of Herning where the airgun store Gunpit is located, so i figure bring my M8 and let him see some of the real stuff, maybe that can prompt him to sell of some of the surplus stuff he have and buy a expensive rifle VS the Chinese stuff he have.
It should not take much more than a hour to put the new Extreme Heavy Duty tarp on the roof of the shed, it is almost 4 X heavier than the tarp that is there already, so this one i am fairly confident will last a while at least.
Bringing my pesting / Digi rifle, CUZ i want to dial it in for Hades pellets, maybe even try a little 13 grain slugs in it too which is my #2 alternative ammo now that 10 grain KO MK3 slugs will not work, but i know 13 gr Zans have worked in my 700 mm barrel so it should work in the 600 mm one too.
And good timing, today is just drizzle, tomorrow is all day rain it seem according to the unreliable weather gurus working on my tax dime.
06:25 in the morning now and i have been up since 05:30, and most surprising i have slept too, which sadly is unusual,
Factory open at 7 and it is a 1.5 hour drive there
For sure i will not last till way past midnight waiting for rats to take the bait.
Also my M8 gotten a new spotting scope, 80 X magnification, so will see little 4.5 mm holes in the far end of the field, came with little tripod and phone holder so we dont have to lean over to see where the shots land.
PS: The new foot on my CF tank, Daum
that was hard guiding into the range bag, but it is in there alright but i fear if it have to come out i will have to cut apart the range bag,,,,, so lucky it is cheap. Not that i am paranoid.
But it warm my heart "The Big Stick" will be cruising the North sea, probably the area of what was the greatest ever Naval battle ever ( Battle of Jutland )
Also the old Red & white look mighty fine up there in the mast.
Of other naval curiosities i think Denmark was the target of the very first air attack on land launched off a carrier, during WW1 when the British bombed a zeppelin airfield near the now Danish town of Esbjerg ( back then it was part of Denmark Germans took in 1864 )
Also i think Denmark / our capitol might also have been the first town in the world to be attacked by Naval missile attack,,,,, again those Damn British. - Loading…
