Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

[Jshooter71]

Good morning GTA! Up at 0530 CT. It is strange how much cooler it is today, and it was yesterday too. It feels like fall is upon us, but that can’t be. I’ll take the cooler mornings though, for sure. This morning, I have to go help the Ft. Smith guy pull a compressor to the roof and change it out. I asked for a couple days vacation yesterday, I’m waiting to hear which days are going to workout. I really wish I was shooting airguns today.

Good morning GTA! Up at 0330 CT. And yes John it is strange how much cooler it was yesterday but today the higher humidity is obvious. 

My son had cut his yard Sunday so I cut my entire 6 acres. It went well I finished it in only 4 hours. Still need to use the string trimmer for about an hour or so.

Good morning Ya’ll
Going to troubleshoot some receptacles in the kitchen at my Sons house.

Trust me, it hurts much worse the day after.
Hope you're ok.

I would say I have about a 15-20% increase from my normal pain level today. My right hand and wrist are where the most difference is. I am not sure how the stumble/fall started but it was at the top of 5 steps. I think my feet did touch at least 3 of the steps as I sort of dove to the ground because they could not catch up. I didn't let go of my Woods Walker and it hit pretty flat as I caught myself on the pavers with it gripped in my right hand. I have quick release rings on it and after removing the scope and reattaching it. It seems like it may be OK now, but my initial test of 5 pellets at 20 yards I had one that was just outside my normal less than 1/2" groups. I'll do more testing later on, the new tin of pellets may not be as good either. My first test my group was shifted right about 3" before I R&R the scope. I don't see how that could make a difference but looks like it did.

Worse part of it, other than the soreness, is that every time you miss a shot with that setup you're going to think about that fall and wonder.

Never get into a fight with concrete Dan. Always fight a midget instead that way the odds are in your favor.

Glad you're relatively ok. Could have easily been worse. One of my uncles got killed that way falling down concrete steps.

You're right about that. I went and got a haircut and just got back home my wife is out of town at the daughters that lives about 40 miles away so I took my truck. Days like today make me want to add air-conditioning to it. It was that or the motorcycle which would have felt/been hotter. I needed to get the haircut today because the next two days I am busy and Friday I'm in my dad wedding. Well it's shower time to get the loose hairs off and get cooled down now.

Oh it did not feel cooler than 112 IMHO

Good morning GTA! Up at 0445. It’s Humpday! Yesterday was terrible. I hope today goes a little better. I have a compressor to replace in a cooler. I have my Wednesday morning meeting with the guys from Ch**ch at 0600. Then I have to come back home and load some stuff for the job, then visit the transmission shop to get a kit off my van that I’ll need. I have a set of Burris scope rings that look like they may show up today. 

[Lt. Dan]

Good morning GTA! Up at 0500 CDST. It’s Wednesday and so far this week has been full of distractions.... meaning I haven't had the chance to mount my Hawke Airmax 4-12x40AO on my R9!  I hope to today but I have to take granddaughter #2 to school, she forgot to tell the bus driver yesterday to pick her up this morning.  I was really wanting to shoot today because tomorrow it will be back to cutting grass.

Looking at an F150 STX 6.2 with tow-package if it is a good vehicle I will work a deal and buy it. Next will be finding an affordable used travel trailer ~30 ft to use as a home base until I decide where to live once the wife and I separate. I will probably continue to live in the travel trailer since I don't need much to be comfortable. I will be eliminating a lot of things and stuff including many AG's as part of the downsizing process.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Up at 4:45 I will try to stay cool and try to relax most of the day, I have Ch**ch at 6:30PM though. It is suppose to be a little cooler today, just 107 we'll see, lately the predictions have been a little lower than actual temps lately. It got to 113  yesterday.

[avator]

I was dogged out tired and my leg was killing me when I got home from work last evening so I didn't get the camera system moved. This evening I have a dinner to attend bidding farewell to my asst. manager who is leaving the company. He has finally earned full citizenship and has a PhD in engineering. He is moving on now to take advantage of his accomplishments.

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

Not much cooler, it may even top out higher between 3:00 and 4:00 PM

[Lt. Dan]

How are you feeling today Dan? Have you recovered completely from your fall?

[Rabbit\Squirrel Killer]

How are you feeling today Dan? Have you recovered completely from your fall?

  Thanks for asking.
  I have a very sore thigh muscles, I guess from trying to catch up with my upper body? My right wrist and right thumb are  painful. My right shoulder and shoulder blade area are kinked a bit. And I have a burning pain adjacent to my spine in my low back. I am still getting around fine and I think I'll get over it with a little time. All in all it could have been A LOT worse.

[Sfttailrdr46]

  Absolutely, you could have broken the scope and bent the barrel

Put a downpayment on a 2014 Ford F150 SXT 6.2 L 4WD Super Cab with full trailer tow package running boards and most importantly A/C and Sirius Radio.  The truck is very clean and only 59,000 miles.
