As part of my need to fill in time with the Covid19 isolation I read my entire collection of DGJ from issue one to the last one. As I say I was bored but it was interest how much I discovered that I had forgotten. I might even go back and hit a few articles again if I decide to buy a specific gun or brush up on a specific topic.
As I say I was so bored with entirely too much time on my hands. Put in 250 of wooden security fence. Rewired my basement and garage. Put a new laminated floor down in my basement after taking the old one up and properly leveling the concrete floor. Painted everything which did not run away. Loaded up my entire years ammo need for all five gauges I use. Even considered loading a few 10a but I almost never shoot my yens anymore. Made a complete set of shot bushings for my Spolar so I can drop exactly the weight of shot I want. 30 plus in total.
Made adjustable shell trimmer for 12 and 20 gauge then used them to create several thousand 2. 1/2 empties which I spent two days loading and roll crimping. Made a nice hull clamp for 10-12 &16-20 out of flame maple and Royal Walnut with shell blocks to hold loaded shells waiting to be roll crimped out of more if the fancy Maple. Boxed up so many boxes if ammo and put in my shelf that I now have at least a full years ammo ready to go. When you wake up at 4:30 each day and dont have a job to go to it makes a long day so Ive been doing things around the house just to keep busy. This shutdown is driving me nuts. If you got to do this could you at least do it when hunting is going on or even the rock fish are biting?
