TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part X
Mornin, Al. Thanks for the coupon story. Here's one for you. Sherri and I go to the store yesterday. On her shopping list is 'wicks', as in the type to make candles. We look and cannot find any. I ask why she needs wicks. She says she has scented candle wax and wants to make candles.
I tell her, go to a hobby shop. No problem, she says. One aisle over she throws a pack of popsicle sticks in the cart. What are those for I ask.
She says, I kid you not, I will use those instead of wicks.
Huh? She tells me she will cut them, put them in the melted wax as a wick.
Uh, Sherri.....that will make the house smell like you are attempting to burn it down.

You can build cheaper than buying one already assembled and you can choose the components you want (though that may add to the cost). A buddy of mine has built 6 or 7 in the last few years.
Terry, I think Lou is currently buying parts to build his. Might check with him.
Mick, once again, I feel your pain......wife is same way but often times common sense is AWOL..
I believe Lou debuted his AR at his friends house/range last week.
The fact that most women do not understand physics and science is not such a big deal....but when they then criticize and question men when they try to stay within the limits of those fields is what infuriates me.
I'm a real fan of the DPMS machines. BBA (Before Boating Accident) I had two of them. A LR .308 and 5.56 version.
Some of our criminals around here think they can intimidate a police officer with a BB gun....

I think I'm sticking with .556. I have a friend here who has built several and I need to talk to him. I'm thinking about doing more than talking about it after Christmas.
