It's Monday, which is traditionally the day to do laundry, and I've done two loads. Belle and I agreed years ago that we married each other for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. The vows included nothing about laundry. She does heres, I do mine. It works out well for us.
It's also Presidents Day, a day that is a federal holiday, a day to reflect on a purely made-up holiday that allows government workers to take the day off. It's always on a Monday, which led my father to declare it George Birthington's Washday.
The dog and I are out in the shop now, and I'm tumbling brass. I have just over 4000 pieces of .45LC brass to clean for a shoot next month. We've found that the best way to clean large batches of brass is with a concrete mixer. 2000 pieces of brass, 25 lbs of walnut media and two hours. They come out clean and shiny.
Yep, that is a trick I learned five or six years ago.

LOL, funny how the whole 'laundry' thing never gets into the vows, or anywhere else! That's a LOT of brass!!!
Just a bit of a question, what is walnut media? I know there are a lot of nuts in the media, but I don't think they'd be any good at polishing brass shells.

4,000 rounds? How long will it take you to reload all 4,000? Heck, how long will they last when the shooting starts? I'm just curious...
I remember a 45LC fired after dark, a big boom and a great flash!
Now that is what I call large batch reloading...LOL.
