Watched Regular TV for time in 10 yrs
So we have Bell Internet and Bell Satellite since August when we moved to the country (10 meg down - 1 meg up). The internet has down since New Years Eve - That's another story). SO I watched the Bel satellite for first time last night, even had to find batteries for remote to use it. Anyways, I am amazed at how advertising has changed (for the dumber), it is comical, the sales pitches now. Let alone how little patience I have for commercials anymore. But it is very interesting how "meme" like or "tik tok" like, the 30 second - now 15 second commercials are now. Used to be 2 min of advertising with 4 X 30 second spots, now it was 8 X 15 second spots- they have taken the attention span down to 15 seconds to sell. Anyways, I watched about 1.5hrs of Lethal Weapon 4 - before I could not take it anymore, between dumb commercials and just commercials. Another thing I noticed is 1300 channels, which basically repeats itself, but the content of some of the shows was just down right stupid - 30 second/day fiance???? WTF.
Anyways - it reminds of the Movie Gladiator - Senator Grackus - said - I think he (Comodos) understands Rome - Rome is the Mob - conjure up marvels and they will love him for it. This is mainstream media and short attention spans in which they cater to now. I didn't have the courage to try and watch mainstream news, blood pressure spikes..lol.
I only watch about 1.5hrs of Netflix per day...before I fall asleep on couch, the rest of my time is spent building, renos, planning new gardens for property.
Good news is my reloading room got lots of building and love over New Years - and is now back in operation with MEC 600 jr, 650 and 700, shotgun presses back in operation. The RCBS rock chucker is back in operation and new special base built for 2 X LEE single stage presses (mostly used for resizing and depriming operation and sit off to side. I deprimed 1000 2 3/4 and 3" shotgun hulls. Made another pd of black powder. Deprimed X 1500+, 9mm, 45, .223, 30-06, 30-30, 243 and 308. The Franklin Arsenal Case and prep station will be working hard the next few weeks after full length resizing. Went through lots of primers, so trip to Higgissons is on the agenda after lockdown period for more Primer and powders.
Ordered new casting molds for 9mm, 45, 223, 30 cal (with new Lee sizing dies) to start casting more and powder coating to fend of parts shortages. Maybe I am a little later to powder coating game, but it removes the need for gas checks with over 1800FPS with cast bullets. Fortunecookie45LC and Elvis Ammo (YouTube) have shown my why I should cast and powder coat, instead of GC. ..223 should be interesting at the specs I load for.
Life is good
