I got a few Buff Orpingtons. I have a couple that have pretty much quit laying, they are a few years old so I don't know if it's just age or what.

I still have a couple original ones and they are still laying I think.

I had Buff for a few years and by three they slowed down laying a lot.
Spent yesterday doing some more to my grape arbor. Got one row finished and about 1/3 of the 2nd one. Planted some rooting of grapes and some blackberries. Was hoping to get my onion slips planted, but way to muddy for that.
MMMmmm Range Day: Ran 30 rnds of 223 RCBS SB die sized brass... ran like butter!
Also picked up brass, didnt score so well on hangun brass, but there lots of ARs... I got a lot today, between last weekend's trip (sad day for 223) and today (big score), we got 19 pounds of brass.
One 223 case is about 96 grains. 19 pounds is 133,000 grains. 133,999 divided by 96 says I have about 1,385 pieces of 223 range pickup brass! Woo!
Ran the Glock, turned into single shot... WTF! The slide lock was locking the slide EVERY shot, when I release the slide it chambered the next round, fired fine and then locked back. Boyee, was I pissed. Got home to see the slide release is pretty dity with carbon (Ive only got about 300 rnds on it without cleaning) and was dragging on the way down.
So I tear down the trigger and clean up the contact areas of the slide release. Put it back together and the same thing, not as bad.. but still dragging.
Closer look and I see the top of the slide release spring is resting on the block, not the upper pin! Duh! When I took it apart last, I put it back together wrong! I pulled the pin, pressed down the tip of the spring and put the pin in... there is a LOT more spring tension now and the slide release does not drag, it SNAPS right back. Damn... Im stupid.
So, I thought I had a possible serious problem but it was operator error.
Thats all for now..

Made some changes to my gear (listed some items in the classified thread) picked up a new "ghb" for the jeep.
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
Intake and exhaust for the truck. more fuel mileage. Added a mountain bike to my (almost) rounded setup. 2nd cooler is coming for the front hitch cargo caddy. parts purchased for truck 100,000 mile maintenance. Bought more can goods, cash on hand is more and more everyday.
I put a new gun on layaway last week. A gen 4 Glock 19. I went ahead and ordered 500 rounds of ammo and 2 extra hi cap mags. I've been carrying a 40, but going back to 9mm.
Odd transition... I went from 40 to 9 also, from M&P to G17.4 I like both, but *love* my 17!Originally Posted by T70
I just loaded some 124g that I need to fly over the speed o meter and see how there doing, then I can load the rest... with focus on the match on the 26th.

I know!! Back when I went through the academy in 05 everybody was buying 40's, and I jumped on the bandwagon and bought a Glock 22. I like it, and the 40 is a good round, but really there isn't enough difference in the ballistics to amount to much. 9mm ammo is cheaper and mag capacity is a little better, so I made the change. I'm keeping my 40, but will start carrying the 9mm once I get a couple hundred rounds through it. I went with the 19 since it's a little smaller than the 17. I can carry it on duty, but it's still small enough to carry off duty when I'm dressed more casually too. That way I can carry the same weapon comfortably all the time.

The pawn shop on the loop has several brand new 17's and 19's in stock, all Gen 4. They're $569 so costs about the same as Academy. But they're close to home and he does a 4 month layaway. You should go check them out. You can pick up a Gen 3 for around $500 new.

LOL!! I want a 1911 so bad...but I've not shot one much. I can just see myself fumbling around with an external safety in a bad situation by myself on the side of the road and it not ending well. I'll probably get one someday but I won't carry one on duty.
