Been a little preoccupied with Hurricane Lane. Fortunately my home is on the Kona aside of the Big Island. Here on the bay, we've had a little above average rain, wind and surf. The other side of the island was flooded, drowned and was just nasty. It sure beats Phoenix AZ's heat and dust storms. Besides it way to hot to go shooting there.
I've have been checking in with you guys but nothing to comment about because I'm so far away from by bench reloading projects. I'll be headed back to the mainland soon but before I get to Phoenix I'll be visiting kids in northern and southern California and Texas. It's a hard life being old, ugly, ornery and retired.
I am excited to get back to my benches and drinking fresh Kona coffee!
Where has everybody gone?

An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

Re: Where has everybody gone?
Summers here are short and busy so I get only a few ops to visit forums. In fact I have given them all up except for this one.

Re: Where has everybody gone?
My excuse?
Shoulder rebuild project. 6.19.18.
Summer recovery, couldn't even type on a keyboard without great effort. So I didn't.
Now, 9 weeks post-op, just started teaching another batch of third graders. Sort of like herding ornery, farty, emotionally confused cats.
Just got back from my 2nd shoulder PT of the week tonight! yay.
Sarah (my PT tech) must have learned from the Spanish Inquisition - but it works great!
I will be more participatory once I get back into the swing of things.
Have fun!
