Good morning! It's 50 degrees and sunny, with some puffy white clouds here & there. The forecast is for 65 and partly sunny, so we're well on the way.
My daughters are helping a friend move today, so the place is already unusually quiet. My wife is heading out to the stores, so I'll be rattling around here by myself for a couple of hours - should probably do a load or two of laundry ... see what an exciting adventure it is, to live in Alaska?!
Later today, I'm going to price reloading equipment at a couple of places, just to see what it would take to get started. Between Carteach0 and Brigid, I think I've caught the bug.
It's unusually quiet for 9 a.m. on Saturday (no sounds of traffic) so I'm guessing that most who wanted to travel this weekend must have left town last night. I need to check on road construction on the Kenai Peninsula; MOBro will be here in early August, and I want to drive him to Seward.
Sooner than that, though, I booked my family on a whale- & wildlife-watching cruise out of Seward, next month. It's a five-hour tour around Resurrection Bay; we're looking forward to getting out of town for a day, as well as whatever critters we see while afloat. (I hope it goes better than the last time! That one didn't work out so well...)
That's all I have for now; thanks for reading this little bit of ... whatever it is.
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

Reloading is like any other hobby, you can spend a fortune, or you can get by pretty cheaply. I started with the classic Lee Loader where you pound the case into the die with a mallet and measure the powder with a scoop. They work and are portable, but if you shoot very much you will probably find them too slow. I currently reload pistol ammunition with a RCBS progressive press. With it I can load a couple hundred rounds/hr. pretty consistantly. I reload so I can shoot more, rather than as an end in itself so I'm interested in cranking out ammo as quickly as is safely possible. If you have to buy the equipment, and with componants as expensive as they are right now,it's hard to save money unless you shoot several thousand rounds/year. Of course, YMMV
Understood. It's like most hobbies - expensive to begin, less so down the road. I'm just at the inquiry stage now, but buying at the peak of interest, along with the scarcity of supplies, could make it a moot issue.
If I can be of assistance, let me know.
