Default Red Neck or just an average Gun Guy ??

I have been busy on the clean up of 108603, part of which has been working with gun blue. That happens near the kitchen sink so I can hit the part with a cold water rinse when it is time to stop the chemical reaction. Sometimes, I don't completely clean up after myself, which apparently happened yesterday. This morning, Kay was thinking it was time for breakfast and I have been playing chef of late, so I grabbed all the fixin's and got right into it. At one point, my mind finally focused on one out of place object, which I had just unconsciously worked around.

It struck me as funny. Here it is. (No product placement commissions from Birchwood Casey)

Cheers,
Jack

I'm with Jack. For some reason the Kitchen is the best place to gunsmith. Running water, good light, large working surfaces, food and drink always close at hand.

Seems normal to me. After all, isn't a bit of Hoppe's #9 dabbed behind your wife's ear sort of one of them afrodeesiaks?

Seems I always like the kitchen as well, so far I've messed up a nice dining room table with fly cement, several nice pots and pans, changed the color of the sink, and more I can't remember. It never is a very happy time for Vanessa and she really just doesn't understand, I'm not sure either is ever going to change.

There is a can of Varathane 900 on my kitchen counter right now. Its right next to my rod wrapping jig. I won't move either one to make coffee this morning. However, the Tupperware full of Hoppe's is out in the shop next to the coffee cup full of hard epoxy which is next the blender full of cat hair I was making dubbing with. It's hard separate the shop from the kitchen sometimes.

I am so pleased to be able to present Kay with a degree of proof that I'm "normal" after all. Good to have a support group.

Cheers,
Jack

My wife may have hit the end of her rope the other day. She came into the kitchen and I was using her blood pressure monitor to evenly squeeze the cracked wrist of a Parker stock I was glueing. Good thing she didn't measure her BP right then. After 27 years I thought she was immune to things like that, but not so much I guess. Was I wrong?
