    Water heater help!!

    So pilot lights fine and stays on to light burner. Then after a little time burner goes out. Does pilot light stay lit when the burner goes out or does it go out as well? Does your water heater have a separate flame sensor for the burner?

    What are you currently reloading?

    Must be my aging brain, but lately I mostly reload 45 colt and .38-55. Nostalgia seems to be a major driver, but 6ARC comes in a close 3rd. Thinking of finding a .38-55 carbine to trailer loads for.

    People Are Insane

    Been in healthcare since ‘91. Both military and civilian. EMTs range from awesome to shitty. Far more shitty than awesome though.

    Lever Monday...post em up

    Lever Monday, on a Tuesday. Needed to put a few rounds through each before deer season kicks off. These two have put a lot of meat in the freezer.

    Who’s got a 6 arc?

    I got a mini 6ARC for my grandson. After shooting it out to 600yds, it’s no longer my grandson’s. Suppressed it’s almost too fun. There’s better choices for a true long range 6mm, but inside 600yds it holds its own. It’s there in the middle:

    Geriatrics on HT , am I part of the problem?

    On a serious note, had an old feller come into the ER tonight. Accidently shot himself out armadillo hunting. Left a loaded, safety off rifle leaning against the seat. The inevitable happened. He'll be fine. Could have been worse. My Dad is approaching 80. i shoot with him as much as I can. His...

    Geriatrics on HT , am I part of the problem?

    Fun fact. My Grandfather worked for 20th Century Fox and one of the shows he worked on was Charlies Angels. I used to go to work with him and hang out on the set. I was too young to know who Farrah Fawcett was, but I knew she made me feel funny.

    Rebarrel .25-06, twist rate?

    The odd thing about the .25 twist is Winchester introduced the 117gr .25-35 in the 1890s with an 8 twist. I guess what’s old is new.

    When did you know a hunting partner wasn’t going to last? I’ll go first…

    Real nice guy from church had been wanting to go moose hunting and it just happened that my regular buddies were previously engaged for the time I had set aside for the hunt, so I said sure, why not. He said he had a good 4 man tent and we should use it as mine were all 2-3 man lightweight...

    2026 college football 🏈 thread , cuz @jimh406 said so …………

    Yeah, I've always thought they should wait several games in before releasing any poll. Way too much bias in the early polls that takes many weeks to get sorted out. I guess as long as it's good at the end that's all that matters.
