Powder run

Lisa and I went to Jeffersonville, IN this morning. It's just across the river from Louisville. Orion Arms was the destination. They sell guns and reloading components. There were a lot of things I wanted to buy, but settled on a couple of pounds of powder.

I seem to have a hard time finding the powder I need for what I'm reloading, but an easy time with everything else, and they had a couple of the ones I needed. I know I already got a pound of the Hodgdon, but it seems to one of the hardest to find, so I got an extra can of it.

Two loads of hay

 Heather and I got two more loads of hay today, the first one was in her truck. It was 25 square bales from a farm in Salt Lick. We ran the trailer over to the barn and unloaded it so we could get the second load.

We used my truck for the next load because we didn't unload her truck before we left. We got the this load from a place in over in Judy. When we got back, we hooked the trailer on to the wheeler and took that roll out to the pasture. Dropping the roll from my truck on to the trailer didn't work very well, but we finally got it done just as the rain started.

we got some snow

We got some snow last night. It's about 2" and looks very pretty. Because we have to go work later today, that opinion may change, but it looks serene right now.

Found it!

We went all over today, only to find the powder in my back yard, so to speak. A little shop in
Morehead had a pound sitting on the shelf when I walked in. I bought it.

Shopping trip

 I made a trip into Lexington today, looking for the remaining pieces to begin reloading for the 30-30. We (Lisa went with me) started here at the Sportsman's Warehouse. I got the dies and shellholder here, but they didn't have the powder I wanted.

 We stopped here at Buds next. I got some information on their indoor range, but they didn't have any reloading supplies.

After a quick bite of lunch, we stopped here at Dick's. They didn't have any reloading supplies, either. We made another quick stop at a little place in Winchester on the way home, but they only had loaded ammo. So I still need to find the powder I'm looking for. I have a couple more places to look. I will find it.

Gas for the stove

The tank was finally set Tuesday morning. I had to swap the stoves back while the installer was putting the tank and lines in.

The tank was set with about 20 gallons in it, so we're waiting on the fill-up that should be coming in the next couple of days. What's in the tank would last almost a month, so I'm not worried about it running out before the delivery.

The new stove is here

Start with the old stove.It worked and all, but we wanted to go back to a gas stove. We think they cook better.

Old stove removed and gone. The new piping for the propane is to the right of the old stove plug.

New stove has been brought in and ready for set up. All new gas stoves come set for natural gas and have to have the orifice changed to a smaller size for propane.

The new stove set up and ready for the gas company to hook us up tomorrow morning. It's a very nice 5 burner with a convection oven.
