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

[Jshooter71]

Bill you can always build a elevated stand too with stairs. I used to hunt in one welded to a pickup trailer that I could tow anywhere on the property. Not expensive to make compared to buying one prefabbed without the trailer if you have it and the materials.

Dan I had the same kind of rib pain when I was coughing a lot too. Hurts!

I feel a lot better than I did this morning, I took a few short Chair naps today. The rib pain is reduced from squint, grimace, AGHH! to just ouch now, I am a little confused about that much decline and improvement but, I'll take it! I even went grocery shopping and cleaned the house. My energy is UP, in fact really high. I guess doing nothing for a week was needed.

Glad to hear that you’re doing better, Dan!

Good morning GTA! Happy Friday, we made it! I got up at 0500. Just finished up my first cup o’Joe and about to get a refill. I’m going to get ready for work, but I don’t have a job on me for today. I’m on overtime, so if they don’t have anything, I’m OK with that. I’ll get Ayrabella off to school and then go see my chiropractor. He’s been on vacation the past couple Fridays. It’s supposed to be pretty windy and the temperature is supposed to drop from this heatwave we’ve had. Not too much of a drop though, seems the lows will be above freezing mostly and the highs around 50* to mid 50*s for awhile. I’m OK with that too, I’d really like to shoot my C2023 and Dragonfly Mk2 some more, hopefully the wind won’t be too nasty.

Mornin'  y'all
Got up just after 4am and made coffee. Dogs got up at 5, ate and went outside.
I surfed, watched the news and drank coffee then showered. Refilled my coffee and now I'm just contemplating the day. Supposed to be mid 60s and dry. Tomorrow is expected to be 70 and rain moving in late in the day.
The replacement magazine for the Daisy Model 25 is expected to arrive today. I might grab that and take a walk out to the natural hide that I'm working on in the woods. I don't think Betty Lou has any store plans.
Just a typical, take it as it comes kinda day.
Oh yeah, I need to call and have propane delivered. The tank is down to 40%. We have yet to use it this year but you never know around here. We've just been using the portable ceramic heaters we had in the RV to know the morning chill off in the living room and bath room. We run them for a couple hours and shut them off. Both have thermostats but we just turn them off.

Good morning, today is just clean up after some small projects, work on the air guns, finish up chicken feeder repair. The property is still wet with some standing water so the outside projects are still on hold for now. Just take the day as it comes.

Just another workday today.  I'm hopefully wrapping up a nightmare of a data migration where the customer did everything we explicitly told them not to.  A 12 hour task is on 30+ hours, but I get paid either way.  I got word my father is back in the hospital, so a nursing home may be not-far-off. 

I tell ya what, my parents were heavy smokers for decades and they're paying the price for it now.  I could add so much more but I know some folks here still smoke and I'm not going to preach; we all make our own choices and I respect that- to the point I say "if you rest, you rust".  Keep moving, keep doing, keep living and do what you enjoy.  Don't wait until tomorrow or next week or next year.


I have a 4-day weekend, so I may rummage up some back-burner projects here.  I have a ton of projects as we start preparing this home for sale.  But tomorrow will be out on the property to see how our builder is handling things.  We have to contend with deer/hunting season for him and his crew taking time off and dates/milestones slipping but he's a good guy and future neighbor.  It will be nice getting away from people.

We didn't want to but we got up around 0830.  It's not a pretty day but we got things to do. I'm gonna' have another Mg infusion at 1300 while Marjo goes to Wally World for some groceries. We should be back home by 1500.  If the forecast storms haven't started, I'll probably shoot something.

Last visit with the cutter to assess my healing…and get a plan for moving forward….

The usual Friday routine…

Up, have coffee with Mrs. P, accomplish some small tasks or errands, head over to mom and pops for pool with pops at noon.  We play until 1400 and then I head into work (1500-2300).

I'm back from the hospital and pleased to announce that my Mg is up to an acceptable level of 1.8.  Now, I will shoot a couple of spoons  with my scoped HW30S.

Congrats on feeling better Dan and Greg!

Peter same here with my family. They were heavy smokers and 2 out of 3 paid a heavy price later on needing oxygen and still not being able to breath walking from the kitchen table to the sink. The other person doesn't have those issues but it took years to get over the chronic cough after stopping. I didn't smoke but have some issues from all the years of 2nd hand smoke. I'd recommend to anyone please find another habit that won't make you and your loved ones suffer later on but to each their own.

At at my youngest daughters house. Spending the night here because I have to start pet sitting tomorrow at 7am and it's not very far from my daughter's house. It's 70 miles from my house. Pet sitting Sat, Sun, and Mon.

Good morning GTA! Happy Saturday! I woke up at 0352, for no reason- except I dreamt that I was having coffee sitting by the back door and a kid popped into the doorway and wouldn’t say anything, like he didn’t speak English. That woke me up, then I had to pee. Oh well, I made the coffee and I’m on my second cup o’Joe. Only real plan for today is the Barn Meeting tonight and my wife’s going out to the store this morning. The wind is supposed to be a bit more calm, so I’m thinking I should put out a couple better targets and see if I can shoot some decent groups with the Dragonfly Mk2 and the C2023.

Mornin'
Typical morning routine here. Supposed to be 70 today with rain moving in this afternoon/evening.

John, think I'll shoot my MK2 some as well. I bought .22 Hatsan Flash from another member and he sent me a mess of NSA slugs in .177 to use or to recycle for casting. I have 3 different weights and I'm testing them in my .177 guns. So far only the Diana Two Fifty shoots the 12.5gr accurately. That surprises me.

Back from the dream land of Covid fever! My wife came down with it last Saturday and I Wednesday.

Broke my fever Thursday night!

To make me feel better, Buck brought me a live rabbit!

Forget the gas x. You might want to pick up some Fabreeze for the pet owner's house...

I could use your help Robert.  La Esposa is gone to Texas and the new puppy does not like being locked in the yard all day while I'm at work.  This is the second day that she has broken out.  I expected it.  She just goes straight to my mom's house (where she gets spoiled).  Yesterday she found the one spot she could dig under the fence.  Fixed that.  Today she found a place where she could pull the fence wire down.  I'll fix that soon.  Tomorrow we'll test her intelligence (and mine) again.

Up @ 0700.  Ran Bella outside off leash again this morning.  She loves retrieving her rubber chew stick.  Came back in and made coffee.  Tried the perc on the stovetop.  Boiled over.  Started over with coarser grounds.  It helped but still threatened boiling over.  I’ll master it soon.  Main problem is consistent grind size.  I’ll look to remedy that. 

Piddled around some at the house, not much to report really.  I knew that I was starting work early today so I didn’t get too involved in anything.  I’m there (work) now.  I’m sitting on a heating pad, feet up on the desk, music playing.  Just chillin on standby… dry, rested and ready to respond.  I hope it’s a quiet shift.

 I had no plans today they went great
