Lol. Nothing in the air for me. This thing flew for 10 seconds (before it died a graceful death). Nothing like a few hundred dollars down the drain!
Now I stick to drones with basically automatic self leveling gyroscopes!

Lol, oh no. I went straight for a 3D copter. Drones didn't exist back then. It went up and right into the side of the house. This picture was taken right after I bought everything. This was like 12 years ago. I sold the thing off in pieces to a buddy who flew 3D copters and knew what he was doing. I stuck to the ground. Only recently have I dipped into drones. I was always interested in things that flew. But before they started getting more advanced with gyros, you had to control them. I remember when they were called quad-copters and not drones.Does it need a new motor? Have checked the transmitter/receiver and have done rebind?

Talk is cheap. Let's upgrade this post with pictures....
The Remmy was super cheap, but super nice. Just chambered in a cartridge that has not been produced since the 50's. Unobtainium...! Could have re-chambered for 32-20... but that would be too easy and still have old rifling.

Next up is to lay some weld on the extracter and form it for 22LR. Ream the chamber and then make the extractor cuts. And of course, grind in a crown. I believe I can work with the old 32 rimfire firing pin by just spinning it around. We'll see. Fingers crossed and another shot.....
I'm exhausted just reading that!Any longer of a quarantine and I think I'll run out of side projects.
Started taping up a few rooms to paint.
Started a sour dough starter.
Ran wire from the box to the other side of the house, just need to install the GFCI box and fill the tub. Then that's done.
Form 1 on the Saiga clone submitted.
Placed a sizable parts order for 2 10/22s to finish. Should be trying my hands at a transfer for a Brownells 10-22 receiver soon. Hoping BCGs aren't still stupid.
Looking at a sprayer to stain the fence.
Pressure washed all the paved areas.
Planted a tree in the front, Asian pear!
Got dims on the attic access to order pull down ladder.
Cleaned every gun, even if it wasn't dirty.
Swapped batteries in all electronic optics.
Did some preventative maintenance on the lawn mower, trimmer and chainsaw. All got new air filters and oil. Cleaned out the carb on the trimmer, was pretty gunky.
Keeping busy, and off the web as much as I can.
Check hereWife and I have been alternating who fixes dinner.
Tomorrow it's my turn...
I'll have to check the Marie Calendar boxes in the freezer...
Or maybe I'll make Lentils and Rice...
If one of those sporterized O3A3s have a drilled and tapped receiver you could build a reproduction O3A4 sniper rifle??1) "Rwandan who breached lockdown 'killed by crocodile'
I always wonder how crocs manage to pick off so many people in Africa. Then I recall that they have been doing the same thing for > 200M years and survived the K-T event so they must be mighty good at ambush predation.
2) "Have a 1903 and 2 03a3s to unsporterize and rebarrel…"
How the world has changed since '82 when I graduated from gunsmithing school. One of the electives was "Military Conversions" in which the gunsmith converted a military rifle to a sporter. Today that would be blasphemy, and the equivalent course would be "Restoring Converted Miltary ifles"
