OFF-TOPIC got really boring.... What you all been up to ?

Back in December I started watching farm auctions hoping to pick up a smaller tractor the my Minneapolis Moline as I don't need the big tractor anymore. Well I bought not only 1 tractor but bought 3 (JD 1010, IH 404 and IH 454) and that was unknown to me until I got the invoice in my email the following morning. I've sold the two extra tractors already and the one I wanted (IH 454) is working out well and I like the little tractor as it is size wise 1/2 the size of my MM but still pushes 53HP. I need to find some wheel weights for both front and rear and will probably put new rear tires on it when I get our tax refund.

Another that I have dabbled with is buying a few more guns to add to the collection. I've picked up 9 (4 rifles & 5 pistols) the last 6-7 months and have only gotten rid of 1 (an even trade for another) and thankfully the wife hasn't hit me with the iron skillet yet. My latest acquisition is an early Gen1 TC Contender in .45 LC / .410 with the 10" barrel and it looks as if it is almost new. Sadly ammo is freaking expensive so I've picked up a set of dies and will buy some brass and some cast SWC and will start working up some loads for deer season this fall. I also picked a Ruger .22 pellet rifle (made by Numerex) that has surprised me with how accurate it is as I have been hitting pop cans at 50 yards with it.
