Tomorrow is my shooting partner’s quinceañera, her 15th birthday. She’s asked me to build her a hot fudge cheesecake, guess that’s what I’ll be doing today! Heat the oven when outside temperature is high. Everyone have a great day!

75 at 11:30AM with a RealFeel of 92 .... yep, muggy, very muggy .... forecasted high of 86 before dropping back tonight to 69 .... first up this morning, Maureen had a presurgery meeting with an anesthesiologist which went well .... only thing on our agenda for this afternoon is to take our daughter's Husky to the Vet

56' and sunny this morning. A cloud here and there. Maybe 82' later.

Happy Birthday to the lass, I do know that is a quite essential celebration.

A stop at a guy’s house (John E Davies who used to post on here) to buy some 32 caliber reloading components.

Now that wouldn't be for .32 Long Colt would it? I have a Marlin 1892 in that caliber that I reload.

Coffee in my State Trooper cup. There is a strange glow in the sky
this morning, some say it's the sun.

I'm betting not, probably something a bit more modern.
Oh Wow! Coop, did know you had one of those also.
Mine is suppose to be from around 1899.

Mine was made around 1912 and I've had it for fifty years or so. I found it in a gun shop in the
Blue Ridge Mountains all covered with orange shellac. It had been a wall hanger. I cleaned it up
and have been shooting it now for many years. I reload for it as well. I have a box of original factory
ammo, but it's now worth too much to fire off.

Nice!!
Yeah, I hear ya, on the ammo being to expensive to shoot.
I load for this one also.
Mine doesn't work as well with the shorts, so I only load the long brass.

Brass is hard to come by so I take good care of it. It can be formed from 32 SW Long but it takes a special die
for it. I was able to go on the Marlin Forum and find folks who form it and sell it so I have a supply.

[cooperhawk]

I also installed a Vermeer peep sight on mine. No drilling required, it just fits into existing screw holes.
Gotta go, I have an appointment to get my car worked on.

I've given thought to having mine reamed to 32 s&w more than once.
Much easier to find brass and much easier to load than the heeled bullets.

Right you are Randy, all modern stuff. I’d love to have a 32-20 or a 32 LC in a lever rifle like yours and Coops. Being a reloader I could even afford to shoot it.

53 this morning heading to the mid 80’s later with lots of sunshine. Hot this weekend with the lows in the lower to mid 60’s. That’s wrong, glad we’re not sleeping in the rv.

59' and sunny this morning. Maybe 83' later. Severe heat advisory Fri-Mon. High 90 to 100+.

Well she told me that she wanted a grey pocketed t-shirt with Carhartt on the pocket, just like the ones I wear. What ever the princess wants!

Hurricane Erin is spinning by NC's Outer Banks .... 74 with a RealFeel of 84 at 8:30AM under a high cloud cover .... today's forecasted high is 85 dropping back to an overnight low of 65 .... today is Thursday, next mention of thunderstorms isn't until Sunday evening .... attending a morning funeral is the only thing on today's agenda

53 again this morning. Just now getting light and it’s looking to be a nice day. Last day in the 80’s before the next heat wave arrives with temps in the mid 90’s. Go away! Saturday is the charity sporting clays shoot and Sunday is golf. Both are going to be hot events. Overnight lows for the next several nights are expected to be in the 60’s. Higher in the urban areas of Spokane and I feel bad for the folks living in hot areas without air conditioning and hot overnight temps not allowing for a cool down.
