Cool wheels, tight groups, and neat watches…

Steve and the crew have a couple of really cool Sarge P-51 bikes in production this week…one headed for Texas and the other for Colorado.   We’ll post photos when the bikes are done, but I wanted to share a sneak peak with you…the Colorado bike has the OD treatment applied to the wire wheels, too, and it really works…

Before I went out to the plant, I dropped by the rifle range early today.  I’m trying different loads in my old Russian rifle and I’m setting another one up for a friend.   One load really worked well…

You don’t get groups like that too often.   It’s especially cool when you can do it with an 84-year-old rifle manufactured in 1930!

My $37 Casio Dive Watch

And speaking of stuff made in 1930, my friend Jack was out at the rifle range this morning celebrating his 84th birthday!  Yep, he was made in 1930, too!

Jack’s buddy Ray was helping him a bit, and Ray asked if I wanted a brownie.  It wasn’t exactly a question I was expecting early in the morning on the rifle range, and while I was pondering it, Ray said, “Hey, I like your watch!”

Funny how things work out.   The watch is a Casio diver’s watch I’ve been considering for a long time, and when Amazon put it on sale for just $37, I pulled the trigger.  That was last week.   I’ve been wearing it ever since, and Ray noticed it this morning.

It turns out Ray’s a watch guy.  I am too, but I think Ray’s collection is a lot more advanced than mine.   Ray showed me his watch (a real unique thing made in Russia).   I should have probably grabbed a photo of it, but I didn’t think of it until now and I didn’t have my camera with me at the time.

There were a bunch of us geezers on the range this morning, and that’s kind of a cool thing.  On a Tuesday morning, the folks who are out there are mostly retirees, and some of those old boys have some pretty nice guns and some pretty good stories.   I like hanging around those old guys and hearing their stories.   They’re good people.

Anyway, Ray, Jack, and yours truly celebrated Jack’s 84 years on this planet this morning with brownies and coffee, and it was great.

That’s it for now, folks.   Stayed tuned…we’ll have more coming at you!
