The only instrument harder on those near a beginner, is the / are the bagpipes.
Every time I hear or see the word 'bagpipes', the line from an old Saturday morning cartoon pops into mind....'Mommy, why is that man wearing a dress and squeezing an octopus?'
I'm impressed. Maybe you can suggest a source for an old Coleman lantern I was given? It needs the glass. I believe the little pump is working and the fuel tank has no leaks. I was going to see the local auto supply store can mix the Coleman green paint.
Way back in the day when I played rugby, our team played in a tournament at a local Highland Games. They piped the teams onto the field at the end of the tournament and we had a couple guys over from Scotland on our team. They were not impressed by the level of local bagpipery and got somewhat riled. The poor piper was doing his best but sounded off even to my ears untutored in the ways of the bagpipe.It was once explained to me that the Scots are such heavy drinkers because the walk around all day wearing a wool skirt with nothing underneath, carrying a telephone pole, and following some bloke playing an instrument that sounds as though he's strangling a cat.
What kind of ammo do you reload? Any special non-standard loading?My hobby for over 50 years has been reloading ammo. After a while, this necessitated collecting various items to assist in the unloading of the ammo so I would have something to reload. I stopped counting around 20K rounds, but that was a couple of decades ago.
