During the confrontation, the neighbor fired multiple shots, striking
the individual. Despite being shot, police say the man continued to
attack and was able to disarm the neighbor before walking away from the
home and returning to the water.
Emergency responders initially had difficulty reaching the area due
to heavy flooding. Officers were ultimately transported by boat. Upon
arrival, officers located the neighbor, who was treated for facial
lacerations and bruising. Investigators also reviewed video from the
home’s security system, which recorded the incident.
A search of the area was conducted using rescue boats. The body of
the individual was later found on shore in the general area of the
incident around 2:00 a.m. Sunday, May 24, 2026.

It’s no secret to visitors to these Musings that I frequently enjoy pairing a Negroni with a cigar. Naturally, I sought out the same combination during our vacation in Italy.
We spent a few nights at the
Hotel Metropole in Santa Margherita Ligure. The hotel features a large outdoor dining area where I enjoyed the classic cocktail — with a cigar, naturally.
Among the cigars I packed for the trip was a Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust 10th Jubilee that had been resting in my humidor since mid-March. I had smoked one from the box a few weeks earlier and was looking forward to revisiting it.
The Negroni was excellent, crafted with a rich vermouth and local gin that made for an especially refreshing rendition of the classic cocktail. As daylight faded over the Ligurian coast, the leisurely pace of the evening seemed perfectly suited to the drink and cigar alike. The comfortable patio, bordered by a lovely garden setting, added to the relaxing evening ambiance.
The Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust 10th Jubilee commemorates ten years since Steve Saka launched the company in 2015. The 5 5/8 x 48 Corona Gorda is wrapped in a smooth, dark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Beneath the wrapper is a Mexican San Andrés binder surrounding four Nicaraguan fillers sourced from the country’s major growing regions: Estelí, Jalapa, Condega, and Ometepe.
Though somewhat dark and foreboding in appearance, the 10th Jubilee delivers a medium-plus-bodied and nuanced smoking experience. The flavors are dynamic yet subtle, offering notes of baking spices, molasses, cedar, and earth, all occasionally accented by hints of black pepper. It is a cigar well-suited for quiet reflection.
The bitter cocktail added even more depth and enjoyment to the experience. The Jubilee’s balanced medium-bodied profile allowed the Negroni’s herbal complexity to remain expressive alongside the cigar. Combined with the warm evening air and birds singing in the garden, the pairing contributed to what felt like a quintessentially Italian evening.
Cheers!

Police say the 17-year-old was part of a
group of people that committed an armed robbery of a 22-year-old man who
was parked in his car. Investigators say the 17-year-old stole a
handgun from the 22-year-old. The 22-year-old then grabbed a second
handgun and shots were fired back and forth, which is when the
17-year-old was shot.
Officers detained the 22-year-old shooter, but later released him without criminal charges.

Deputies said the charges came after investigators determined the man who was shot had a firearm at the time of the incident.
The shooting happened around 10 p.m. Friday in the 2470 block of Bud Lipscomb Road.
When
deputies arrived, they found Russell suffering from an apparent gunshot
wound. He was taken to the hospital with injuries believed to be
non-life-threatening.
Authorities

The new house will need a telescope winch for lifting Big Bertha off the base and the 8" reflector off the Losmandy mount
I have been thinking about all night. I will four pulleys secured to studs in the garage ceiling. Ropes through pulleys. One end of each rope will need a hook that can grab a loop without scratching. The far end of each rope will be tied to weight plates. For lifting Big Bertha, two 25 pound weights on each will counterbalance most of the weight. About 10 pounds of force pulling down to lift the telescope off its base. Then push the base out of the way and slowly lower the telescope to the ground.
For moving the 8" reflector, loosen the clamps holding it on the mount, and obe 15 pound weight on each rope to lift it off. This requires a stand under each rope end where the weights will sit when not actively lifting telescopes.
I have done this before for moving a anowplow from my wife's Blazer. I was younger and strong enough to put the pulleys and rope up myself.
In case you are curious, this is part of how multitasking stones ended up at the top of cathedrals. Counterweights means you only need a few dozen peasants pulling on the rope

My 17.5" Dobsonian sits on an equatorial platforms. This is a clever, somewhat magical (to me) method of making an alt-azimuth mount track stars across the sky.
Unfortunately, equatorial platforms are latitude-specific. They are simulating having the telescope move across the sky as though they were turning in a circle around Polaris. As I said, somewhat magical
Besides the latitude-specific nature of the equatorial platforms, they have several other deficiencies. They typically only track for about an hour, at which point you unlock one clamp and rotate it back along its magical pseudo-polar axis. This is not a big deal for visual use, especially for public astronomy.
For astrophotography, there are two problems. That reset will make your 4 hour exposure of M51 completely useless.
The obvious solution to latitude is to raise the south end of the platform by seven degrees to compensate. In this case, 21.5" (distance between front and rear of the platform times sin (7 degrees). This gives a 2.62" lift. This does not sound so bad. It scares me thst it might be unstable to move the center of gravity that far to the side.
Alternative strategies:
2. Remove the OTA from its cradle, and attach it to a dovetail plate that goes on a high payload equatorial mount. This is very expensive, mostly because high-payload mounts are very expensive. This is also slightly more uncertain as to how to make it work.
3. Rebuild the telescope in a carbon fiber tube which should get it below 50 pounds. High expense carbon fiber tubes 20" ID are not cheap), a lot of work, and uncertain results.
Simpler, less obvious solution. Shim the south end of platform 2.62". Bolt ground board to platform. Bolt platform to the board with casters. Even if center of gravity is a little off, it should not make it a leaning Tower of Pisa.

Today I loaded up some 9x18 Makarov ammo for the first time. The last time I had my CZ-82 to the range I managed to retrieve 32 of 50 cases, so I only loaded an even 30 today.
My main goal was to get a load that will reliably cycle in the CZ but have less recoil than the factory loads. So, I put this ammo together with a starting load of 3.6 grains of Accurate No.2, a 95 grain plated round nose bullet from MidwayUSA, and Aguila No.1-1/2 primers.
According to Accurate's data this should get about 900 FPS at the muzzle, in contrast to factory FMJ which pushes a 95 grain bullet to about 1050 FPS.
Because the CZ is a straight blowback, unlocked breech design, recoil is snappy with factory ammo. If this load works it should be a little more pleasant to shoot for plinking.
After I got my dies setup, including the Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Die, I loaded 5 dummies to ensure they cycled manually in the CZ. I then pulled the bullets so I could load the cases since my supply is low. You can see in one pic a pulled bullet and one unloaded bullet.
Since 9x18 Makarov is so close in size to .380 Auto (AKA 9x17) and 9mm Luger (AKA 9x19) I put some blue Dykem layout fluid on the case heads to help me sort the brass after firing.
I should hopefully get to try these out in the next week and will post a follow up.

As we mark the unofficial beginning of summer, we should take a moment to reflect on and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms. While many of us gather with family and friends to enjoy the holiday with food, fellowship, and celebration, we do so with gratitude and remembrance for the true meaning of Memorial Day.
The courage and selflessness of our fallen heroes played a vital role in securing the liberties we cherish today. As we pause to honor their memory, may we also reaffirm our commitment to upholding the values they fought to protect and remain vigilant in preserving the freedoms they so bravely defended.
It is a sobering reality that those freedoms are increasingly challenged by people who view our nation and its founding principles as flawed or oppressive. Here in our own Commonwealth, debates over constitutional rights and individual liberties continue to intensify, with career politicians at the highest levels of government pursuing policies that openly and knowingly infringe upon long-established protections guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Whatever our political views, Memorial Day should remind us that the freedoms we debate so passionately were secured at a tremendous cost. Honoring the fallen means not only remembering their sacrifice, but also treating the principles for which they served with the seriousness and respect they deserve.
