    Components in St. Louis/St. Charles

    in General Reloading

    Posted

    Spur of the moment visit to Graf's Reloading after a doctor visit in St. Charles today

    I found limited quantities of SR, LR, SP, LP primers. SR and LP are limited to 100 per customer per visit, but I was able to grab 1000 CCI #300 LP primers, purchase limited to 1000, today.

    Otherwise, picked clean with very little factory ammo other than shotgun and odd calibers like 9X18 and .327.

    Some components, but limited choices there too. By far better'n nothing though.

    Reloading Bench Construction

    Has anyone tried one of these ?:

    I have one from Home Depot with the wrapped top, upper shelf, and drawers. Sturdy enough but will need to be attached to a wall to be stable. That is complicated by the rear overhang, but it's possible.

    I'm using mine in an apartment, so I have not tied it to the wall. Right now I am running a RockChucker off one side which is solid and uses the lateral mass of the bench vs fore-to aft. It's stable, though cramped.

    These are thin and tinny until assembled. Stack-on didn't use an ounce of extra steel here.

    your the the guy who is walking down the street coverd in snow and ice, when its taking all I got just to keep the truck between the trees and I am asking

    myself who is walking in this s#@%. nice to meet you :roflol:

    Negative sir, I'm in-complex when I do this. Would never be out walking on the side of the road in bad weather. Even though we get frequent snow and ice here in MuSoorUh, NOBODY seems to have even the minimal driving skills necessary to cope. :angry2:

    Pop the cover free from the hinge side, then peel off the seal. Works first time, every time, problem solved.

    Mods - yep, I know this is for hate but when you see a problem you can solve, resistance is futile.

    People who think mass/public shootings will fix their problems.

    Restricting lawful ownership won't fix it. As usual the press and "our" representatives focus on a quick fix instead of dealing with the real issue; lack of availability of appropriate mental health care.

    Read this one over, I have some experience with this morass, my father was a raging bipolar in his last years and it was a nightmare getting any help at all.

    Mortgage Mania

    in What I Hate

    Posted

    Part of my wrap-up from divorce was to take over the mortgage on our formerly joint asset, the "home". I don't live there yet, and won't 'til June of 13, hence it ain't my home - yet.

    I finally closed after nearly 4 months of headaches, just wrong quit claims from the title company, not once but 3 times. I got to pay them for that "service" and had to write my own to get it right for my state of residence.

    If that was all.

    This was a HAMP refi, which is supposed to have not much more than an application fee and minimal pre-paids.

    Because of the change in title, I had to make SIGNIFICANT pre-paids, coughing it up 3-4 days before closing. Not the least bit stressful. Nope, not a bit. I lie.

    I closed on absolutely the last possible day before another house payment would be due. On a Friday afternoon. My loan funded on the 12th, but they didn't get around to fully processing the paperwork until the 17th. Tag me for another month of interest and PMI.

    Thanks, I needed that.

    I was informed that the prepaid went up because they couldn't transfer my escrow from the old note, to the new. It wasn't legal.

    Wanna guess what happened next?

    Yup, they transferred it anyway. I asked to the wrongfully transferred escrow to be refunded and they were kind enough to cut a check within 4 days of the request.

    The check never arrived, it was stolen and cashed.

    Got that resolved. Only a little added stress, a criminal complaint with my local PD and I didn't lose a cent, just hair.

    I was then informed that I had to pay my own property taxes this year. Stressed about that.

    What did I learn today? You guessed it. They paid my property taxes out of escrow after telling me they would not and could not.

    Something to be said for consistency.

    NOTHING THEY TOLD ME TURNED OUT TO BE THE WAY IT WORKED... Go figure.

    She called me this weekend to inform me that she took the CCW training, passed, and submitted her app for a carry permit. I don't usually hear from her unless she is sick, is in a bind, or needs money. Having a little common ground works wonders.

    Her instructor said that she is skilled beyond her experience. A natural.

    Our relationship in her teen years was pretty rocky. It didn't help that my marriage was dying a slow agonizing death in the same timeframe.

    She's matured greatly since then and I suspect that in her eyes I've gotten a lot smarter. Typical parent/child stuff but I count this experience as a significant breakthrough for us.

    Nox' I sincerely hope you can share that interest for a lifetime, it will bring you closer together.

    Niceash, yes it is especially at your daughter's age. Most of the time they want to get as far away from us as possible, don't they?
