Give the cables, springs, bearing wheels, etc on your garage doors a check while the weather is warm. Sure beats replacing same when the temperature drops, and numb fingers increase the difficulty factor needed to replace.

Never ask a woman if her teeth are real. Smooth. How exactly did you find that one out.....

Paracord loops between sling and rifle. I picked it up in the mid east, and with a little imagination they can be very flexible, allowing the rifle to hang right side up by your side, cross ways etc.

Ever shot a gun and found your off, because a sight moved? I have.... I fired over and over with no idea why I was missing..
Pin things that might work loose with a centre punch on the join. For example a drift fit rear sight, or the locking screw holding an AR spring tube in place. Just tap with the centre punch on the join, splaying the metal so to work loose it has break free. Several little taps seems to work better than one big one... Extra important with self defence weapons...Just saying.

I had a revolver that had a loose front sight. I pulled the sight and ground a tiny dimple in the rear base. Once I had it sighted in again, I used a center punch to drive the groove lip into that dimple. I could once again carry it in a holster without the sight falling off.

Today I did something I have done many times and thought of the tip of the day thread. You can buy rubber tube that shrinks with heat, like from a hair dryer. Electricians use it for wiring. I use it on many things from torches to tools. When a surface is smooth and slippery, I cut to length and get busy with the hair dryer for a grippy surface. Also good in cold climbs, ever picked up a torch that spent the night in a cold car? better with a rubber jacket on it. Obviously remember to allow for the battery replacement. Works really well. Cant believe its not more a common practice.
In fact the first time was a knife that had a slippery grip. Smooth wood, very pretty but slippy, especially if wet.

D-cell flashlights. I've never used heat-shrink (don't know if they make it that big) but have often used bicycle inner tube. Good grip, and not hot or cold.

I found a wealth of music on Internet Archive. You have to look a little but I listen to all kinds of music there. archive.org/details/WaylonJenningsBirthdayCelebration
