Having to reposition the gun after every shot seems so, I don't know, 19th Century? The whole point of recoil systems was to keep the gun from jumping all over Hell and gone with each shot. So I recall anyway...OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-50756609503144403342016-01-07T07:56:48.700-08:002016-01-07T07:56:48.700-08:00I still feel remiss.

OK, I didn't really mean to take time off I just got lazy. You, on the other hand, have managed to keep new content coming in everyday. I take my hat off to you my friend. So why am I here commenting on your blog instead of finishing the post I've been working on for my own blog? Just lazy I guess.

I went to a Defense Department reutilization sale and the sale had mil spec Goretex, and the price for the bolt ends was unbelievably cheap. <br /><br />The material has sat all this time, and now that I have become used to retirement, I think it is time to make something from the Goretex. I ordered a pattern, and researched a sewing machine and got the one I wanted during the post Thanksgiving sales at a substantial discount. I was a bit surprised to see just how much automatic stuff the machine could do at the price point. Now for some makee learnee. <br /><br />I also need to make some silnylon covers for some of the heat press pads I am using in one of the other new hobbies.<br /><br />I did not give the machine to my wife, (yes I can be stupid, but not that stupid) it was near the tree with a tag that said it was for me from Santa. Before I opened it, I told my wife it was one of those giant inflatable things for the lawn. (she hates those things) She gave me that "look", and said I think it is a sewing machine. My next wife is going to stupid and good looking, 'cause this one being smart and good looking is way a challenge to keep up with. <br /><br />Also need to sew up a bag for my welding helmet and gloves. Think flight helmet bag, but much simpler. <br /><br /> John in Phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196033252818387245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-6881806979553947022016-01-06T12:46:39.874-08:002016-01-06T12:46:39.874-08:00But John, this blog is my new hobby.

Perhaps the new hobby shouldn't involve writing?<br /><br />Sailmaking is very manly. (Sewing is a useful trade. I can sew, my wife can't. I'm not sure what they says about me. When I was on active duty the ability to sew buttons back on, sew on new stripes, or sew stripes on new uniforms was very useful. Probably saved me a few bucks along the way as well...)OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-11906722150668569122016-01-06T12:37:01.434-08:002016-01-06T12:37:01.434-08:00Maybe a new hobby would help.
