Tundra, at least y'all got in some range therapy! And quality time w. the Mrs on top of it all.
I
was going to go to the range (outdoor) this afternoon, after being laid up Thurs-Sat and yesterday being too wet.
After making a quick run out west week before last and being back at work last week, finally got the lawn mowed this AM, washed the Valk and ran 'er over to the liquor store to help dry 'er off and to pick up beer in preparation for the work week. Took the wagon out afterwords to run errands before heading out to shoot and... It clouded up fast and the skies opened up. Just plain poured for awhile and it's been on and off ever since. I'm glad I didn't take the bike out for those errands. Saw one Harley-looking critter parked under an overpass w. the rider sitting on the concrete upslope and sneered until I hit heavy rain a half mile down the road and said to myself "With this much traffic that's going this fast in this hard a rain, it wouldn't've been safe at all on a bike and that guy
was being a lot smarter than I'd've been." Likewise glad that I didn't head to the range before running errands; I'd've just gotten all set up when it started with the whole water from the sky thing.
So, here I sit with everything from .50BMG to .25ACP all ready to go. Even a bunch of magazines full of .38 Super brass trimmed down to 9mm Browning Long specs and loaded accordingly for an old Swedish military surplus beasty that I'm hoping will finally get that working right.
And next weekend's pretty much all spoken for in advance.
Especially disappointed I still haven't gotten to shoot the newest one after having it for about a month now, but I'm finally ready; one of the errands was to stop at a fabric store to get proper thickness material for patching round ball out of it:
