What Prevented you from Shooting Today?
- Thread starter manabeknives
- Start date
I did 2 jobs for a year, even if that is not really needed in Denmark, was damn tough, so tip my hat to the PPL doing that.
My best job also sort of was 2 jobs, Mon - Fri + Sun was Noon to 5 in the morning, Saturday 8 in the morning to early afternoon.
Mind you always at least 1 day off between 2 work days for a total of 11 - 12 monthly work days, and only worked SAT-SUN every 3 weeks
And best of all, slept ( paid ) 3 hours during work in the summer and 6 hours in winter,,,, so in my book, best god damn job ever.
In the 90ties that paid me 2500 USD/mo after taxes.

mine did about 8 mph, now 0 mph, governor is just to regulate the speed of the motor when under a load and to keep it from over revving, the throttle cable connects to the governor and the governor connects to the carb, the Governor uses centrifugal weights to regulate RPM of the motor, like the term "Balls Out" for steam engine governors, on mine the weight came off and got stuck in the gears of the crank and cam.

Left the practice track yesterday and got a call from my buddy on the way home. Dropped off my bike and gear and did this until midnight. Slept 10 hours and now I’m headed back to the practice track. Did manage to pick off a starling with my .177 as I was cleaning and reloading my truck. Weekends for me surprisingly have less airgun time than week days. The work week is just more relaxing than crazy weekends.

Been there, done that. It was a stupid ride home. As for not shooting today or all week basically, lack of energy and enthusiasm and it’s just too frigging hot! I didn’t fly RC today either.Not about shooting but RC flying. Drove a long distance to another club I visited just to realise I left my transmitter at home.

I have done that a few times! I got to the field and realized I forgot the fuselage for my 5m glider! Hard to fly a carbin wing with no batteries in it.Not about shooting but RC flying. Drove a long distance to another club I visited just to realise I left my transmitter at home.

I wish i had a place that was more accessible to shoot at. I live in the middle of town with a small yard. Not at all an appropriate place to shoot.

I was lucky enough to get out in the smithy and finish a few knives. Weather has been cooler than normal so I seized the chance to fire up the forge. Normally I can't fire it up June-Sept because its to darn hot. I did take my new rifle out in the shop while a blade was in the temper oven and I had a hour to just admire the rifle.

What kind of anvils are those

how deep is the forge?
I would gladly miss shooting in trade for a day in your smithy!

Work. In NYC. They won't let me shoot here, so I have to wait until I get home. But I'll get home and need to do a dozen other things and it'll be dark by the time I get a change to put my finger on a trigger. Work is the scourge of the shooting class.
