Acquired LEGALLY these HD 12 gauge shotguns.  Ran threw a few rounds of 000 in each.  Very impressed with the quality.

Self protection or just a gun collector?  Not for sport so just curious. Maybe for shits and giggles walking around blasting stuff?

Went through a couple hundred 12 gauge rounds with some friends last weekend skeet shooting. What a blast.

Technically referred to as Home Defense.  These are low cost firearms that don't require cases and little care.  I have an assortment of premium rifles and shotguns that all have cases and are in mint condition.  Average age is 50 years  Big production to pull them out quickly.  Bought in my teens and early 20s when I was really involved in hunting and skeet shooting.  Gave my skeet machine away 5 years ago.  Don't have the land to use it anymore and frankly not interested in buying clays and ammo anymore.

With these two new units might shoot the odd geese if they walk up to close to me and hiss.    Get a fair amount of dis-tempered raccoons that need dispatching so safer than a 22.   That's about it.

Dishwasher stopped washing yesterday (see things that irritate me thread).  I started looking at Bosch dishwashers on the Costco website then decided I would dig into this one more.  Pulled the washer last night, pulled the circulation pump and motor.  Shaft from the pump into the motor sleeve was full of grit and the plastic sleeve is chewed up a bit.  Cleaned it up, put it back together and its running again.

I ordered a circulation pump/motor off amazon today for $150.  Local parts store was $300.  When it quits again I'll replace it and hopefully that takes care of it for a while.  If not, its new dishwasher time.

The dishwasher was acting up on and off all week.  Motor/pump came a couple days ago so I installed it.  So far so good with a couple of cycles run.

And the saga continues. After a few cycles the dishwasher started leaking. Caught it soon enough that there’s only permanent damage to the hardwood where the washer sits, and it’s minor. Pulled it out to clean up the water, hooked it up outside of the cabinet to find the leak. It’s leaking from the rubber grommet that connects the pump to the sump. I must have damaged it when pulling it apart the last time.

Anyway, there’s a Bosch in the dishwasher slot now. Found a store that actually had one in stock. I’ve ordered a new grommet and will replace it on the Kitchenaid when it comes. I’ll then sell the cursed unit with the new pump. I’m sure it’s all smooth running from here on out.

New grommet (seal) for dishwasher arrived a couple days ago.  Was going to put it on and sell the unit but found out my nephew's dishwasher just kicked the bucket.  I told him he could have this one.  He's a good kid working towards his journeyman's for an industrial mechanic so if I can help him save a few bucks then why not.  Hopefully it's all good for him.  I told him I'd put the grommet in so its ready to go, he said "I'd rather do it myself than have an engineer do it".  Ha ha, funny guy.

New pizza stone for the Kamado grill. Was inspired after seeing Shane's post on the food thread this past weekend & ordered it thru Amazon on Monday, arrived this afternoon. Pizza will be on the menu this weekend I'm thinking.

I like this rim design. Not too heavy, not too flashy and very unique. Well done!

Do the serial numbers start with 4B?   If so they were made in Napanee where I used to work

Thanks. I agree with you, they are not too much.

Got our firewood delivered today, 1 cord this morning which I stacked already, surprisingly quick by myself even, around 45mins just carrying it by hand. Another 6 cords were just dropped off, the guy has a pretty slick set up.

Worst part about firewood is stacking it!!

I hope your wine cellar is well stocked!

I actually really like cutting, splitting, and stacking wood.  But i don't have a wood stove so it's not a chore that i have to do every year.  All my friends that burn wood are starting to hate the work involved, if not already.  Nothing like the heat that comes from a wood stove though and i find it comforting sitting by a fire.   I'm currently sitting beside our propane fireplace soaking up the heat as I type.

Figure working from home I'll have the woodstove going A LOT more!

I don't mind the stacking & splitting. I'll have to split 70% of this wood before I bring it in just because its too big for the firebox in the woodstove we have.
