Bore Lights

[rdstrain49]

Hanshi;

The Thill is a complete light.  It measures .165" diameter and 1.32" long.  One benefit that nobody mentioned is that you can put the light down the bore lens first and get a very good look at the breech plug and surrounding area.  If you find these lights you may get one that doesn't seem to work.  No worries, put the smallest drop of silicone you can at the base of the colored ring and be rather forceful pushing and pulling, turning on and off, a couple of times and the light will function perfectly.

*Ahem*  If you will look back at the lower part of the first page, read my last post, you will see that someone did indeed mention the upside down view benefit of these little lights. I will expect a jug of your best on my porch in the morning.

I will expect 2 jugs in the morning post... when you mention "oh great one" around here you are talking about our beloved founder "Dryball" or the exhausted omnipresent Red Badger (who is exhausted from trying to keep you all on your toes....), not that Kalifornian imitator, Hotfxer  who is still a wet behind the ear's young pup...

I think those Thill lights are in my future.  Horror of horrors, I've imbibed the last of my George Dickell #12.

It is my understanding that hotfxr has a good eye for fine jugs.

So there I was, trying to come up with a humorous reply to rd's "Oh Great One" without getting myself in trouble or getting tricked into another duel (thereby further reducing our membership) when our Illustrious Leader, the Great One, the epitome of perfection and leadership among large short limbed burrowing rodent type animals, the one, the only... Rrrred Badger!!! comes out of his hibernation and addresses the issue. 

Now to deal with the "one pearl of wisdom" observation. Well it was a first for me and probably won't happen again so I will await delivery of the afore mentioned jug and celebrate my moment of glory in style.

Mr large rodent;

In point of fact I am the One a and Only True Great One.  Not being one to expound up my own greatness I'm more inclined to sit quietly in the shadows and listen to lesser beings make pitiful attempts at Great Oneness.  I will have three jugs in the mail to both you and ol whatsisname, not in the manner of payment, but rather to lessen the pain, shock and embarrassment of spewing forth in the presences of the true GreatOnenesshisself.  You are both welcome.  Any more nonsense on the part of either of ya's will be met with a swift and embarrassing Duel challenge so watch yer step pilgrims.

Yes, the badger is from the family of Mustelidae, which includes badgers, otters, weasels, wolverines, and polecats. But being as the go noodling in Oklahoma, that proves that they are a lower life form of humanoids and since badgers burrow and tear up lawns & plants, I put them down there with gophers, which are rodents. It's really all in the perception my Northern Brother.

We have digressed from the thread topic, so I can join the divergence.

You see, the badger really is a fictitious creature, not unlike the Griffin. The word badger came about when a group of students from University of Wisconsin were pining for a unique mascot. They wanted something imaginative, not the typical predatory animal like a tiger or a warrior figure used by so many sports teams.

There was a fraternity on campus that was known for its overly boisterous, foolish members. The fraternity, Signa Phi Nil, was represented by a chapter called Beta Jeta. On Campus, they became know instead as Bad Jerks. Aha, there was the name, Bad Jerks, Badgerks, Badgers.
They gave the mythical creature the teeth of a lion, the head of a mouse, and a body of a Platypus. And thus, the badger was born.

OK to end this train wreck I will remind ya'll that this Badger does have teeth and also has the power to BAN miscreants who upset me... 

Not that I ever would - I know ya'll don't mean it... Oh yea and remember I am originally from Wisconsin!  Only ended up here in Tulsa by marriage
