RAW REPORT

[Rey]

Crgabel. I been in a Yakima a few times. Had thanksgiving at a friends place up there. Best thanksgiving ever. I sat on the porch and they had a few 22 rifles on the porch. I asked what were they for and why are they out. Ned thing I know I see the biggest rat I ever seen in my life. We end up spending all morning shooting at these things in his small lake. Those things can swim faster than I can run.

 

[Imold]

My wife would rather sit home and watch football, baseball or read a book then go shopping.....

 

[Imold]

Ok here is the target I made with scrap wood and signs to put out on the frozen lake, I found the signs in the garbage and use them out at my range,just stick them in the ground and have a pile of this scrap wood...think it will work perfect and I can set it up anywhere it’s safe to shoot,pull the sign out and the target and base will fit in a car trunk,back seat or throw it in the back of a pickup just to have.

 

[Imold]

I have extra corrugated white board to put on the metal frame, it’s the same stuff they use for the political signs.its cheap at Walmart....

 

[crgabel]

Good idea Imold, looks like you are ready for tomorrow.
I'll be at work tomorrow but will check on you as soon as i get home. sleep well.

[Imold]

18.50 hours away, don’t think I’ll sleep much and I’m setting that target at 50 yards on the lake, I’ll move it to 100 yards later this week after I have some rounds thru the HMx...Who knows I might have to put it out to 75 yards just to make it somewhat of a challenge hahaha.

 

[Hotbrass]

Imold, you are waiting on the delivery tomorrow, and I am hoping Sandra sends the tracking number tomorrow. tomorrow will be a good day. Sleep well.

 

[Imold]

Hope you get some good info soon Hotbrass and as far as sleep goes I don’t think I’ll get much but that’s normal for me, my meds really mess with my Sleeping habits sometimes...

[Dirte]

My .25 got a little brother. .22 Polygon HMX Maple Thumbhole. I just completed the finish coat on the stock. Here is the finish thread. http://www.airgunnation.com/topic/raw-in-the-raw-from-lumber-to-finish/

 

[Imold]

Nicely done Dirte, I like the look....

 

[crgabel]

Dirte,
Love the tiger maple stock. great piece of wood

 

[Hotbrass]

Imold, I am going to bed(working nights), when I wake up I expect to see lots of pics of your HMx. Nite.

 

[Imold]

About 5 hours away and my HMx is at the UPS hub about 22 miles away from me, it arrived at 7:30am so now they just need to get it on the delivery truck for my place.......closer by the minute...

 

[Imold]

My biggest worry is that they didn’t get the Special order Blue stock right but I have faith they did and if they didn’t you’ll only get pics of the action and barrel because I’ll pull the stock off ASP...................

 

[SMH77]

I just got an email from Martin saying he fitted up and tested both barrels on Friday and everything tested good! He said it is about to be sent off to me-super excited! I'm hoping it makes it to my by the end of this week at least (TN to WI shouldn't be more than 3-4 days shipping?).

 

[Imold]

Good news SMH77, I’m kinda in west central Mn and I think mine if delivered today took 5 days due to weekend, 4 if you don’t count Sunday. If he gets yours out today you should see it Thursday I would think.

 

[SMH77]

"Imold"Best Christmas present I ever got was in 2000, Wife gave me a 2001 FLHTC(Electra Glide), she told me my 80 FLT was too old and I needed a newer Bike......

Sweet! Good to see another Harley rider here on the forum! I have an '18 Fat Bob Special (114)-man are they sweet now (the new Softtail lineup)-and that's not my bias coming through either (I work for H-D at the PDC), LOL. That would be one heck of a nice Christmas present for sure!

I just checked UPS' website for transit times. If it ships today, they are saying 2 days in transit to my house, so end of the day Weds. I hope that's the case! I hope he remembers to include the .30 cal magazine and single shot adapter with the order. I'm wondering if I should remind him via email-but I don't want to be insulting either (I wrote it all down with the order). Now I'm getting really excited!
