    My Ace usually has it but it’s across town. I usually grab b&b when I’m at the store. Usually don’t have a problem with it. Just wanted to try rockwood. Haven’t really used it.

    Just checked the RW web site and yes the prices have definitely moved up in the past year.  I had quite a supply in the storage area (had not ordered since their on-line sale of Valentine's Day 2018).  Now down to around to around 9 20 lb bags.  Thus the  query.  Dang- I definitely invested in the wrong market segment this past year  ;)

    ^^^ @1911Man, whereabouts do you live?  "603 (Pelham)" doesn't ring a bell for me.  
    I don't know if my local dealer quit carrying now either, I had bought enough last August to last me to now plus a few more cooks...

    I had to google what a PK360 was.  It's a.... $700 Kettle?

     $800. If you google a little more it seems to have some advantages over a kettle.

    ordered one of these Yuneec Breeze Drones from Woot!  Should be here tomorrow.

    Tonight I ordered 4 more batteries and an extra set of props.  My neighbor ordered the same drone so I figure we'll be doing some drone wars and the props will be needed.

    Image result for yuneec breeze drone
    I have the Yuneec Typhoon H drone and love it.  Have a lot of flight time on that.  It's relatively large - weighs over 4 pounds.  I think the Breeze is around 14 oz. Can fly it indoors without destroying the house.  And it's great outdoors, except the range is only 80 meters because it uses the cell phone wifi vs the badass antennae on the Typhoon controls.

    A regulator for '04 Chrysler van driver side window. UGH. Being installed now. Those sharp edges on the door frame convinced me not to do it myself. I bleed easier now that I am older.

    Working inside a door shell is the worse. You need like 3 elbows to accommodate :)

    whats the range on the typhoon, had one annoying me on the boat a few years ago, close enough that it was way too close to the lines, had to be 3 miles from shore but when it left it looked like it went 6 miles.  i might take drone wars to a different level if it happens again =)

    And long thin fingers to thread the nuts on the back side of the regulator.

    It is done and at least the mechanic labor hours didn't match the part price!

    A new battery for the Husky, the old one was finally toast. Toyed with the idea of a Lithium battery to replace the AGM, but nearly 4 x the price was a bit off putting. The local guy who sells Lithium bike batteries was closed, so that sealed the deal in favour of the old tech heavyweight.

    Dies for each caliber a press. Which you have 3 options a single stage turret or progressive. A powder scale. Trimmer for rifle brass. Reloading manual. Powder primers and bullets. Basically tumble brass (clean it) resize and deprime brass. Trim if needed. Prime brass. Charge with powder per recipe in manual. Seat a bullet. And crimp. And measure overall length and I also check mine with a case gauge. That it in A nutshell.

    An Alternative response: my next-door neighbor was a reloader, had an accident, and damaged his gut pretty badly; he has to take pills and be careful about what he eats.  For the rest of his life.  
    Other Facts: every July 4th he loads a brass cannon, which he built, about 3' long, into his pickup and he starts the 4th of July 5K Run at 0700 (they call it a "fun run", but I now know better).  Don't know which one he was reloading, and I don't really want to ask him.

    Got my new drone today.  I was elated.  Then pissed because it didn't work.  Got home from work, cooked dinner, then googled the issue.  Found a reset procedure that fixed all my problems. 

    I love it!  It's small, light, capable.  You can post the pics and video from the app that controls it.

    I flew one battery worth of flying time, around 11 minutes, in the house.  SWMBO was sleeping, but it isn't nearly as loud as my big drone, which I would never fly in side and noisy enough to wake the dead.

    Might make a trip up to New England to buzz @fishlessman

    Just to set the record straight, these consumer drones that I'm into are basically photography platforms.  They are not nearly as fun to fly as RC planes and helicopters, or cars and boats.  They are not challenging at all to fly, too **** easy.  Where's the fun in that?  It's in the photography.  Which is phenomenal.

    i have a feeling the one buzzing me was a spy platform,  while fishing in remote locations ive been spotted by plane, helicopter, sleds, wheelers, madmax on a dirt bike, computerized 8 inch scopes mounted on rubber boats with 1200 plus hp. i wont even try to count the different policing agencies. not sure what the men in green would do if i hit that with a jitterbug and a spiderwire line =)

    Join the Drone Racing League if you want some challenging drone flying action. Those kids/pilots have pretty phenomenal skills/reactions. I really enjoy catching some of those events on the telly.
