Did some dry-fire practice last night,

and it's working nice and slick with the PDB CLP recipe.  I'm going to leave it uncleaned for a while, see how it holds up.

Also going to pick something I shoot whenever can and let it get REALLY dirty, then clean it with this stuff.

Remington Golden Bullets have become a pain.  They(mostly) go bang, but noticed the other day that extracting them from the K-22 was VERY stiff.  And no, wasn't just dirty, as put in some Federals and they popped right out after firing.  Add to that a number of misfires, and that a couple of semi-auto pistols and a rifle I've tried them in don't even like to feed them, and they're a problem.  Supply troubles ease off, I'm going to use these up and replace them with other brands.


Found thanks to Tam, Daddy Bear has opinions on the excuses/defenses for the NSA spying:
The collection is broad in scope because more narrow collection would limit our ability to screen for and identify terrorism related communications. Acquiring this information allows us to make connections related to terrorist activities over time. The FISA Court specifically approved this method of collection as lawful, subject to stringent restrictions. — That’s the point, jackass.  Your ability to collect information on our citizens is supposed to be limited, and it’s not supposed to be easy.  If you believe that someone is a terrorist, then get a warrant specifically for that person, and do your damn job.  And don’t insult me by talking about how you went through FISA on this and they were OK with your methods.  FISA is not much more than a rubber stamp on your efforts.  I’ve seen reports that they reject about 1% of the warrant requests you all make, and if these latest revelations show what they approve of, just how horrendous are the ones they reject?
Read it all.  He's pissed at the politicians involved, and the professionals in the intelligence field going along with it.

And now I'm going to edge and mow before the temps get nasty.
