Mind if I use that sky for my next project.?It’s for my youngest son who recently got his journeyman linesman card
The inspiration is from Norman Rockwells “ The Linesman”

Yep got my last rod from them

I wish midway USA had stock
Easiest outfit in the world to work with.
Order it and it shows up when promised. Always
And customer service is excellent.
I bought a Loomis NRX rod from them. One piece rod.
USPS decided 2 piece was good enough and destroyed it.
Contacted midway and they made it right. No questions asked.

Correction. Sensiflex was the difficult outfit

Those dudes are so frustrating to work with , I cancelled my order with them.
Spent 3 hours trying to get them paid.

Yep

I’m desperately searching for a supply of large pistol primers for reloading my 45 ACP
Worldwide shortage.
If anyone knows of a source and can lay hands on some of these , buy them and I will buy from you and pay to ship.
1000 or more would be nice.

I’m good on small pistol and small rifle. Lucked into a supply of both. But large pistol primers are hard to come by

Thanks in advance.

Know a guy who grew up in Africa and my spiritual advisor who was a missionary in Africa.
They both said most sunsets there look exactly like the background. Starting about 6:30 in the evening

Forgot to attach. Elephant is roughed in.
Lots of work left to go before completion.
Gotta take everything that don’t look like an elephant and make it look like an elephant
Then gotta paint the sides of the frames.
These 5 panels will be hung half an inch apart so sides are important too

A few of you folk have PM me checking my status.
Appreciate that.
I’m still kicking. Back on the road. Working for the man.
Feels great to work for folk who genuinely respect you.
It’s not “ Ben go do this” and breathe down my neck. Also great to go to work and not be a party to violation of federal laws!!
They just tell me what’s comming up and leave me alone, trusting that my part will be done and done right.
Hot as hades in the plant!
Try to limit my time on the clock, but occasional 12 hour days happen.
Once my day started at 5:00AM and I walked out just before midnight.
For an “ advisor” I sure am working my butt off.
But payday makes the wife happy
Also sold another commissioned painting to a happy customer
I get off work and paint in the hotel room. Started another. It is attached.

I drove home yesterday afternoon , went straight to the range . Blew out the 10 ring with 2 of my pistols. Went to the bar for a couple.
Laid down to rest my eyes at 6:00 and woke up on the couch at 12:30. Dog laying beside me.

Tired.

Son and grandson comming down Sunday for a day on the water
Hopefully I’ll have some lies to tell about the fish we caught

Tite lines my friends

Fixed a couple things.
Forgot his shadow
And wife commented his butt looked too big.
Fixed and looks much better

Just realized I forgot his shadow.
Fixed that.
The pic makes his legs look short.
Illusion

This one is for a friend of ours named Lisa
This was Inspired by a photo taken of Lisa’s dear friend ( don’t even know the guys name.
This friend was an avid fisherman and the picture was taken one sunny day in Feb 6 years ago.
He’s walking to his favorite spot on the Great Miami River.
In April this guy drowned on this same spot.
I hope it is meaningful to her.
I put some extra love into it in honor of another fisherman .

Haven’t posted on a while.
Been super busy

Topic
I met a lady tonite who told me that she was appalled that I’d own a 1911 colt but was equally appalled that I Had named this pistol Adriana. ( I name all my weapons)that was her name.
She said she was a raging liberal

I then explained that our government trained me to do unspeakable violence against the enemies of our country.
Short range or long or with a bic pen.
I did this so she could have the right to be a raging liberal.

She thanked me for my service.

Told her I’d try to save her from the produce isle next time someone shoots up a grocery store.

You are absolutely right Fly
