The CZickness XXXII Patiently waiting for the SGE

[patience0830]

I had some corn on the cob yesterday and I saved the cob just in case I run out of TP in 6 months and I get tired of using a rag. Hey you never know,.I might like it

Just run it through the crack, don't insert it.

Supposed to warm up this week. I'm getting anxious for spring weather. Might bring the grill back out of the shed for some steaks this week if the rain holds off.

Hey look, it’s ****ing CZ! We love CZs here, anybody want to talk about CZs?

The only thing better than this gun, and that's saying a lot since this gun is absolutely beyond words, are the truly fantastic people who made it a reality. I am forever humbled and grateful for this. Thank you for posting a picture of her KJ.

For those of you unfamiliar with the story, I had been diagnosed with cancer and was going through chemo and radiation. I was unable to work for a long time while recovering from extensive surgery and I was forced to sell a lot of my guns to pay the bills and keep a roof over my head. I think I was down to one gun in the house when the Wizard stopped by one day with this beautiful thing. She is called the Blue Angel and she is one of the finest firearms you will ever see.
I have since, mostly, recovered and, again thanks to many of the same people, have been able to recover some of my guns.
But the act of kindness of these folks is beyond words. I am so humbled that they did this for me. People want to put down the CZickness thread and all of us who talk about a lot of things other than CZs. Well, this represents the kind of people who are daily contributors here. So anybody who wants to criticize can go pound sand!

Thank you again everybody. I hesitate to list those involved as I am afraid I might leave someone out and I really don't want to do that. But here goes: KJQ, CM, WTB, Mcapo, Hoosier45, ChrisK, MM, TT, 88 and, of course, the Wizard. If I did leave someone out I apologize. This is from the list that was given to me.
Thanks, I cannot express to you how much it meant to me to receive this and how much it still means to me.

For anyone worried they might be at risk for the virus, IU Health is doing free video consults to determine if you should be tested. You just download the IU Health visits app.

Also, good morning!

 

[Leadeye]

Made 24 gallons of hand sanitizer this morning. Will be bottling it up soon.

Morning BA, Sarah

Holy cow. What do you use to make yours if I may ask?
I made some to give a couple family members. I used 91% isopropyl alcohol and aloe, like 1/3 cup aloe to 2/3 cup alcohol if I remember correctly.

Yeah TT ..... it's not a swizzle stick, you know !

Yeah .... this is what this thread is really about ..... a brotherhood.
I'm so glad that you're through the worst of your illness, Master Chief.
Keep on keeping on !

I was honored to play a part in it. Brought me a lot of happiness knowing you loved it and that if brought you even just a moment of distraction from the war you were fighting. You are special to us Master Chief! My buddy Croy also contributed. He doesn't pop in much but he works a lot and has a young'n that takes up his time

Bahahahahaha I'll never look at corn in the same way again

Dang it. I knew someone would be left out. My apologies.

No worries or apologies needed. I just wanted to let you know. He
Was very excited to be part of it too.

 

[KJQ6945]

BA, you left the most important part out. We wrote your name on it, and made it gaudy, so that you'd never be able to sell it.

Can’t let a good man end up unarmed.

 

[Darthur]

Incredible story BA, and incredible friends. I love it, brings back memories of the camaraderie when I was in the military.
I don't usually post in this thread, just read it. Now that I have what is the SGE?

 

[MindfulMan]

All of this social distancing (of which I'm a firm believer) gives me time to practice, and have fun with the new photography lighting gear that I've purchased recently.
My older strobes still worked, but were dinosaurs compared to the new technology.
However, as with firearms, it's still the Indian, and not the arrow.

The PPA (Professional Photographers of America) have opened up their learning center to all (and for free) for the next two weeks. There are over 1,100 video tutorials from professional photographers on a huge variety of subjects. I'ma gonna be busy !

For the first time, I have a YUGE softbox to mount the strobe within. Suspended on the 13' (max elevation) C-stand, I can now photograph most rifles, with very even illumination. Although I own a Light Cube, it wasn't good for items larger than a breadbox.

Here's the new setup.

And to keep my post at least firearms related (if not CZ), here's what the softbox is good for. I still need to work on the inner-baffles, to obtain the most even lighting .... but that's hard to do while suspended, so it'll have to wait for my next project. Also, the roll of carbon fiber background material is still a little crinkled, and needs time to flatten..... but all in good time.
Who can resist the siren-song of the RED, WHITE, and BLUE ?

Most of you who know me, realize that I promote having more than one hobby. Right now, it's hard to go shooting. For me, I don't trust being around people at the indoor range under the current circumstances. So having multiple fun things to do is beneficial.
If I can preach that philosophy (at least to our younger members) and have it stick, my work here is done ..... at least for today !
