I tell people that I am a walking encyclopedia of useless information.
Mine is more like a desk and bulletin board covered with post-it notesMy piano teacher used to tell me that your brain is like a Roladex. As you get older and have added more and more cards to the thing, it becomes more time consuming to find that one card you are looking for.
I tell people similar- that I know tons of useless information just don’t ask me anything importantI tell people that I am a walking encyclopedia of useless information.
That's how I used to make dummy rounds to test the action of my firearms. Take a spent piece of brass, pop the dead primer out, seat a new bullet - crimped very tightly so it never moves (it's not like the round will actually be fired!) - and then I used bright nail polish to mark the round as a dummy. I didn't want to paint parts that actually glide across parts of the firearm, so usually it was just the bullet (maybe just the front half of it) and the base's back end that goes up against the bolt face that got painted.My girlfriend told me when she gets home she's going to paint her nails red.
She is going to be so happy that I did it for her.
Don't get them mixed up with some of my rounds! :That's how I used to make dummy rounds to test the action of my firearms.

I have real dummy rounds for all my pistol calibers, but some of the rarely fired rifle calibers, especially bolt actions, got my home made "nail polish" rounds because it just isn't worth the expense to buy real dummies for as rarely as I needed to verify their actions.
