When the wife is not at home...
One of the recent threads reminded me of things I reserve for "when the wife is not at home. Some are experiments and some are recurring, a few examples:
Test firing a rifle or pistol in the garage (suitable large chunk of wood for backstop).
Boiling an animal skull on the kitchen stove to get the meat and fat off for mounting.
Once I "tumbled" some brass in the dryer that was placed in two cotton bags with rice and jeweler's rouge.
What have you done?

Test fire small caliber in the master bathroom closet.
Cured some moly resin sprayed parts in the lower oven in kitchen ( it's never used ).

Small Arms test fire, into suitable backstop.
Washing K&N style air filters for race car in dishwasher.
Placing mounted tire in over to "grow" it in order to get the stagger needed for the go-cart.

I see no need for anyone else to know this info, by my rights under the Fifth Amendment.

What happens when the wife is away, stays away.
BH, the inspiration of course, perhaps this thread should be moved...

All you Fifth Ammendment guys are no fun.
Just start off your story with "Well, my buddy once told me......"
I doubt any of you can be as bad as Mr Harsey anyway.

Now see, I wouldn't think the statute of limitations would ever expire for this subject.
