What did you buy this week?

/ What did you buy this week? #922  
The freshly plowed area you see is 12 of the 36 acres I bought yesterday. The other 24 is on the left. And on the right is 9 acres that I gave to my daughter and son in law in exchange for him building my office/kitchen
about 2 years ago.
The circle you see in the middle is where the cattle farmer stacked some round bales 7 years ago. I spent all day on my skid steer pushing out the trees and scattering what’s left of the hay.
My son in law came with his dad’s big tractor and disc and ran over it a few times. He plans to bring his excavator tomorrow to pluck out some of the trees that the disc did not take out.
Congrats on the new property.

430 horse power, WOW, that's a big one.
Which disc is it pulling? 2230?

Ran over a hidden stump and broke something in the gearbox on the Bush Hog cutter. Sent the Bush Hog to the shop but not holding out much hope. I got this to replace it. Much nicer cut and less vibration than the Bush Hog.

I too bought a capacitor for a heat pump the service guy said was dead. Yet to install it, we'll see if he was right.

I’m lucky to have a “Handy man appliance” parts store in my area, small Mom and Pop style business. The guy that works the front desk is great, he tests capacitors (told me this one was bad) and offers pretty good advice, and is very knowledgeable. Every time I need a part I expect to find that the little shop has closed. It just doesn’t seem to be that many people around that still think like I do, and are willing to try and fix something instead of just throwing it out with the trash.

I don't know what disc he has. I think he said it's a 32'

I bought a 3 pack of 10 rnd clips for the Ruger 10/22.
About ready to sight in the new 3-9x40 Athlon scope. A bargain on Amazon

Brought home a Ruger American in 350 Legend. The Vortex scope was "mounted", but barely tight. That's okay, easy to bore site a bolt gun. I needed something with more range than my 77/44 Ruger. I couldn't find much in the "new" 400 Legend, either ammo or rifles. 350 should be fine. Plus, it was on sale $100 off... :D

Iowa is a "straight wall" deer rifle state.

Nice.

Ruger hit the ball out of the park with their American series.

My next rifle will be the Ruger American Ranch Gen 2 in 5.56. Purely as a suppressor host/fun gun when I don't feel like breaking out an AR/possible furbearer gun if I get bored.

Waiting on my dealer to call and tell me my 22/45 is in. Another suppressor host/fun gun.

Please explain what a 'straight wall' state is.
Cartridge must have a straight wall, not be necked down. No 308, 30-06 etc, you can use 450 bushmaster , 45-70 Gov, etc that have a straight wall case.

As of January 2021, several states with large deer populations, including Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, and Indiana, have passed laws allowing straight-wall cartridges in areas that were previously only open to shotguns or muzzleloaders.

Thanks. I've never heard of such a rule. But I've only hunted in Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi, and Canada.

I'm with you, but I'm next door IL that has some weird hunting laws....
MO it's any centerfire during rifle and even AR pistol during alternative (I go with my smokepole)

Is there a caliber spec with that too? 30 Cal M1 is straight wall. At 7.82mm, the .3078" round has more punch than a 45 ACP used in the Thompson Machine Gun. I've never hunted anything but rattlesnake with it, but it will vaporize the head of one. A ~25' hit off my front porch with stock sights.

Needed a few extras for the shop. These were just a few miles away and she took $30

BUT, some states have cartridge case "length" limits too, and the 45/70 is too long, also there are some other limitations too.

BTW, I bought a new Kubota last week, but I did buy 20 pounds of potatoes from a potato farmer for 6 bucks this week...
