Monday
I had a fancy "how to" post I was working on, but blogger is not cooperating with the pictures I took. So I'll come back to that later.
The kids start school in one week. I'm going to miss them, but it will give me a chance to get some projects done. I've also got a huge backlog of Robert Heinlein and John Scalzi books I haven't read yet.
The boy gets new glasses today, the wife doesn't trust me to pick out the frames so she's taking him to the appointment. I don't see what's wrong with the black plastic ones....just kidding.
I want to get back into taking pictures, I was having fun with it earlier this year, I've also got some ideas for photo shop as well.
Here is one I took last night for one of my projects

I think I've got the blog feeds problem licked. I didn't realize until now that I'm up to reading about 179 or so. I don't always have something witty to say, but rest assured if you're on my side bar I'm at least lurking.
If you're not on my side bar links, send me a message and I'll get it fixed right away.
I also wanted to say thanks to all you folks who stop in and read the silly crap that comes out of my keyboard.
Cheers!
Update: I was inspired by flyinfox's post this morning and came up with this:

Mr Hammer , I was also trying to get into a bit of photography , but then ballsed it all up by buying a new PC with windows vista..... now my camera and phone dont interface to it .....Harumph
It's we who should be thanking you, Hammer, for brightening our day.
Along with photographs, we're also due, I think, for a wacky little video...please?
Veritas et Fidelis Semper
where did you get all them minature beer barrels?
Beast: Thanks for warning me. I usually don't change operating systems until forced to.
Deborah: I'm scouring about 60 hours of radio shows looking for the right song..stay tuned :)
GuyK: They are odd looking aren't they? The local powder horn had cowboy style bullets on sale. I bought 500 to get started, I've got 15,000 empty .38 special and .357 magnum cases to load up.
Eventually....
Those look like the tracking device Arnold Schwarzenegger pulled out of his nose in "Total Recall".
Glad I read this post on Monday morning... nice chuckle to start the week. You've always got an interesting "angle" so good luck with the camera...
mother nature's a bitch
Nice bullets! ;-)
Peace
179 friends in your side bar and i'm not there???, kidding, i don't mind since i'm not American! and don't always write in English. All the best for the kids back at school.
I know you're there dude, you don't have to say something every time...I know how it is trying to keep up with a lot of reads. But you are one I look forward to, so maybe that's the pressure we all feel.
Janet: lol I never thought of that!
Paper: thanks :)
Snowmanpoop: Sure is :)
Kitem: Welcome back! I added you to the links. My fault sorry :) For some reason I can't click on anything on your blog but I can still read it.
Mushy: Glad to hear it. You've got some original material over on your side and I'm enjoying t.
odat: They are nice looking but I haven't tried em out yet.
I would need a camera....
I just read a post on reloading bullet casings, and commented but your post disappeared on me WTF?
So that's who stole my bike! Should've known.
And no . . . there's nothin wrong w/ black plastic glasses, definintely builds character
oh man, that mother nature one is so dam funny and so dam true. lmaoooooooo
You don't ever have to be witty at my place Hammer, but I'm still waiting for a good pancake recipe that doesn't stick.
Hammer kids start school on Sept 4th here and we are looking at starting home schooling on that day also. Three hours a day five days a week and then summer vacation. LOL.. I think she is going to excel at home instead of whats in school..
Flat nose hard cast .38? What sort of project are you working on? I've reloaded literally thousands of 38 and 357 cartridges, and always have an interest in what other people are doing.
oh my! i love that Mother Nature poster. awesome.
Hell, I have fits keeping up with about 50, but yours are always close to the top of my list. I enjoy it all. Keep it up.
Jeannie: the pictures were postage stamp sized and I couldn't change them, so I'm going to host them somewhere and try again later.
kate: those polar bears are a menace :)
kat: I just use 2 tbs oil in the mix and that seems to help. I'll post mine soon.
tweety: I liked doing homeschooling but it is a challenge.
bobg: I made a reloading how to for the blog but the pics got messed up. My favorite .38 target load is 5 grains unique over a 158g semi wadcutter. The bullets shown are made for cowboy action shooting. I'm waiting to see if there is any difference in accuracy.
burfica: glad you liked the poster :)
minijonb: Thanks :)
FHB: I appreciate it :)
I never realized how many wonderful perks there are for the parents at back-to-school time!
Black plastic frames sound lovely. My mom thought they were fine for me!! Oh the horror!! Cheers Hammer...
I didn't know for sure what caliber they were..though they might be .45 Auto
I love BACK TO SCHOOL season.
"Its the MOST wonderful time of the year."
Great photo and slogan.
I wish you'd stop pretending to be technically challenged. Love the polar bear, but what are those little capsules in the top picture? Some kind of vitamin pills? Iron supplements?
Cheers
I love your silly crap. Gives me a good reading break in my boring work day.
That polar bear is so talented.
I'm like that too. I don't always have something to say.
Nice shot of the shots and can you do some fancy work and get me on that poster (instead of the polar bear)??? I want to print it and hang it over my desk at work!
I love your blog Hammer...and thanks for finally linking me...ass...just kidding! What is the picture of? Bullets? And thank gosh your wife will pick the glasses out...you dont want your son getting beat up!
Hammer,
I am right there with you that school starts next week. I just can't wait!
Thanks also for the shameless plug of my site. I love the polar bear!
Flyinfox_SATX
Isn't Heinlien with Elvis?
jocelyn: About 6 hours of it being too quiet ;)
matt-man: Oh you poor kid, no tape I hope ;)
Guy: I have some of those too but I figured people would have guessed they were mini butt plugs ;D
meleah: Except this year I've got 3 sets of homework to do :)
mcewen: If blogs were made out of wires and metal I would be much better off, but all these nebulous html things are like gobblety goop to me :) actually the capsules are .357 bullets.
random: Thanks for reading my silly crap :)
lamb: I get tongue tied at times, maybe that's finger tied...
scarlet: You're going to steal my bike? Or did you want a new caption too? :D
Jenny: the beat up thing is definitely a consideration, I don't know how I missed so many links, I think I addd them then forget to hit save or something.
flyinfox: Got to give credit where credit is due :)
oe: Yes he is, but I'm still on his 1941 stuff.
What books are on your current reading list?
Good luck getting that bike back!!!
Good Monday evening to you, Hammer ! I've nevr seen a polar bear on a bicycle - leave it to you and Flyinfix to come up with the most imaginative stuff ! Do you two know each-other in real life, btw ?
Hope that you get done all the things you want to get done, now that the kids are back in school. Knowing you, you'll do even MORE :)
"I also wanted to say thanks to all you folks who stop in and read the silly crap that comes out of my keyboard."
Dear Hammer I can think of many words to describe your writings...humourous, creative, intelligent, innovative but NEVER silly crap!!! Keep up the good work.
Oh man that pic brought back memories! My Dad was on the National Rifle Team back in the days,Marine Corps. We used to load ammo for fun in the evenings..ty for the brain reload!
HA-HA- Man I always read your little dittys--they keep me going!!

Gracias mi amigo,
Juan

Can't you see that Polar Bear with the old side baskets like we use to have just packed with seals and salmon!!! Honey---Daddy's home!!!!!
What's this I hear about Polar Bears drowning on account of Global Warming. Clearly, they use their BMX bikes to hop from icecap to icecap.
Nice coming across your blog, Hammerhead!

Chuckling! Gah! No more beers!
thank us for reading?
Thank you for writing your blog - you are an entertaining writer, and I always enjoy reading your posts.
That Mother Nature poster is a hoot. Man, I needed that.
I love your silly crap too. Don't stop.
Hammer, mate,
Love your take on the Mother Nature polar bear. If a polar bear does steal your boke - is it a polar fleece?!!!
Now to business .... great to see you want to get back into posting photographs. Will post something (hopefully to inspire you) in thenext 24 hours ...
Watch out for it ...
Keep smiling
David

You sure have grown a huge fan club ! And whatever your keyboard types is very entertaining for the rest of us. I would not mess with a polar bear on a bike (or without the bike).
