Just open the freezer and see if one walks in. Save yourself the work
Garage door open while cleaning rifles. Hummingbird flies in. I leave the door open hoping it will find its way back out. Come back an hour later and find this:
Here's a fact that will put some light on that movie. It was released in 1963. The female cast for the most part was Jessica Tandy born in 1909. Susanne Pleshette born in 1937 and Tippy Hendren born in 1930. I recently watched it on TCM and my first thought was " That Jessica Tandy is a good looking girl". That's what old age has in store for you...

The SPR is getting a facelift. Picked up a matched Mega receiver set, so adding the little bits. Old school Triggertech frictionless trigger, Magpul gen 3 PRS, JP one piece, Bushnell HDMR II glass, superlative arms adjustable GB. Barrel is a 1:7.7 bartlein that started life as a heavy service contour blank and had a Seekins bolt headspaced to it. Barrel work was done by a superb smith who may or may not build precision large frame ARs. Time to do a good thermal fit on barrel and make a decision on what handguard I want. Paint scheme to be decided still.
Down in Gloucester MA yesterday doing some modifications on these tenders that we just completely rebuilt over the winter. They live on the deck of this big boat. It was pouring out, luckily the crew erected a tarp so I could see, it was raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock!
Big boat:

Two views... Guests for breakfast and finally mowing the field so I can start shooting at distance again...
Goat mom up early feeding her Nigerian dwarf goats:
My next project is a repower of this honey. It should be tricky to get the engines and gears out and the new ones back in. They have to go up through the companion way (stairs in the pic). Just got the floors up and out of the boat. It's a mess right now, so many systems are getting replaced.
I see your chart is made in China.
Another sea trial checking out a pair of V8-900 MAN engines. These bitches are LOUD at wide open throttle when your right between them...

A couple days in the freezer for the barrel, and a quick hit with the benzo torch on the upper. New barrel is in place on the SPR rebuild.
Started shooting again a few weeks ago, today was a range day. Temp hit 87° but I had shade and a nice gentle breeze. Good day for shooting.
Still looking for that elusive all around .308 load. Dumped the L. C. brass, switched to Federal that's been picked up from the PX over the years. Today's attempt used Varget and 175 SMK's, of which I have a lot. The rifles did get warm with 10 shot strings.
I have determined both rifles are very accurate, but I shoot the AI (right) better than the hybrid 700. There's a mostly full box of 135's in the inventory, thinking to turn the 700 into a light bullet screamer. That would be kinda fun.
Drug the 9's along to play. My pistol shooting sucks, just don't practice and have never had proper instruction.
A range in Fargo offers classes, looking into the winter schedule.
Even with my crappy pistol skills, that CZ 75 nice to shoot. Maybe to nice, burned through a lot of ammo.
Still in the midst of a severe drought. Wheat is heavy, 64#, only running 18-25 bushels. Beans, nothing, pastures are a uniform brown. A lot of farms and ranches are going to get dinged this year.

I hear that on drought. It’s been brown here since June. Going to be a hard go for a lot of our producers.Started shooting again a few weeks ago, today was a range day. Temp hit 87° but I had shade and a nice gentle breeze. Good day for shooting.

No drought here, another beautiful day on the range for load development.
On the edge of a drought up this way.
Wasn’t too hot today but that didn’t stop this doe from taking a swim.
She would have swam right up to where we were until she heard us talking.

Took a friend out to the range tonight and helped him sight in the ACOG on his AR.
Was able to put some rounds on steel at 200, which is the farthest he’s ever shot.
Once he makes contact a little farther out, I’ll have him hooked!

Little Yanmar in a sailboat dropped a valve. The engine room is under the galley sink and I'm working on the blue blankets you can see in the pic. I just got the head off, more fun to come...
Good job, had to have been a shit to work in that position for any length of time
So noted. Varget and 4064 aplenty, two boxes of Sierra 155's on the shelf. Thanks.
And people say Lyme didn't come from a horny deer on Plum island...
His first day of school was today, unfortunately public school.... thank you KS court system..
Mom dropped him off.
He goes by Benni. His mom picked his legal name and Benni is short for his middle name. Doesn’t know his first name that well just Benni.
Messes up his full name still.
My dad goes to pick him up asks for him by his legal name and say Benni. Teacher told him he wasn’t at school today. My dad said he’s sitting right there and points to him. Teacher said no that’s Benjamin. My dad says no that’s Benni and gives her his full name.
She had him at the wrong desk all day , wrong kid all day. The had his first legal name at a different desk.
1 I would think his mom would have gone in with him and help him find his desk .
2 I would think if a kindergartener didn’t show up to school they would call his parents!.
sorry for the long post.
I’m a little bit pissed
Don't worry school gets worse if you don't raise sheep for kids.
Called the teacher a liar in front of the whole class.
I left work and went down there.
The principle was upset and my son explained the teacher was changing the second amendment on purpose.
I had my son recite it for him and he asked how I knew that was right.
Told him the teacher was a liar and he needed to rein his bitch in and turn around and learn to read.
The Constitution and Amendments
Were in frames on his office wall evidently for decorative purposes only.
All public schools are ran by liberal tards and half the private ones.
All states in the whole country.
Enjoy parenting these days.

Just got home from the shelter with pet rescue No. 6 "Panda", she's 12 and has a few issues but nothing insurmountable or that some tender lovin care won't heal.
Ready for grout
Most showers are pretty straight forward, this one was required some framing changes and was a big hair out of square. Also ran 3 coures of tile around the adjacent tub. Wrap it up next week.

1.7 ton way too much to go.
Dads 06 250 can’t do what the 01 350 did for hauling rock.

Not many weeks ago it was left of the tower and about 0445 over the Ridgeline.

Buzz bought his first car this weekend. Pretty happy he’s shown interest in the older stuff. I’m not a practical person when it comes to vehicles either
