Captainkirk's Duster project
Thanks, Mike.
The Duke WAS talkin' at me the other day.....I was in the garage getting out spring yard tools and he sez...
(in my best John Wayne drawl)
Well,... whatcha waitin' for pilgrim? The heat of summer? When it's so hot, the..lead melts outta yer bullets?
Nossir, I mumbled. Just a bit warmer, is all.
Warmer. And I s'pose yer gonna get a... schoolmarm to help you. Warmer. HA!
I jumped. I really did.
The HA! was really loud.
I don't like it when cars talk to me. Especially in The Duke's drawling, gravelly voice.
No sir, don't like it at all.
Later that evening, something drew me to wipe down my Ruger Super Blackhawk single action. As I polished and snapped the loading gate closed and spun the cylinder with it's whirring, ratchety sound, I picked up a .44 mag cartridge and rolled it between my thumb and forefinger....
Well,... whatcha waitin' for pilgrim? The heat of summer? When it's so hot, the..lead melts outta yer bullets?
I stared at the copper-clad 240 grain bullet topping the cartridge I'd reloaded last year, and softly spoke aloud....
So, what ARE you waiting for,........pilgrim?:munky2:
