I can send you Mike's Vortex 1k, but Ima thinkin it might be a tad further than that.
If you know anyone that can use it, shoot me a text. He wanted it to go to someone that will use it.

GPS took a dump and got to do some good ole land nav using a compass and old out dated map, wet topo map through a wall of rhodo and laurel. Rhodo wall was about 500 feet then a 5 mile round trip to and from plot. Lots of bushwacking since new skid roads/ 4 wheeler trails had been put in. Was pretty at least. Red Spruce sucks to walk through but is nice to look at.
Appreciate it Mr. Casselton, but yes, it's WELL over 1000 yds. It's closer to 2000. I can get to 1400 with my Zeiss well below it. Have always wanted to just sit in the backyard and send'm over there. If I could just figure out how to get a 20ft container over there for a target.

The weather service has predicted 2-3 days of snowballs headed our way, thought it to be a good idea to get some rounds down range before it's white and wet.
Very good conditions, 4.30 wind at 4mph. 525 to the kochi stalk.
As of posting, 1" of new snow. March in Upper Dakota.

Pearl Harbor. Puts things into perspective for you.
God bless all the heroes that gave their lives that day..........and all that perished in the following war...........

Burning brush as spring cleanup continues
Concrete connecting the driveway to the new garage finally going in. Heck yeah!
Gettin’ close now.
edit: a couple post-pour pics (say that 3 time fast, LoL)
…and yes, I noticed the spilled paint on the rock, the missed spots on the stucco, and not the
Least of it, the friggin’ paint brush left on the edge of the garage roof 16”+ off the ground!
All on the punch list… LoL

Staying at the Pennywell Hotel in St. Louis, MO.
It started life as a bank, initially constructed in 1888.
The vault doors are still here and are an amazing work of art. The amount of time and craftsmanship is unreal.
The jeweling on every internal component is something you’ll likely never see in a modern vault door.
The hanger/hinge piece is two inches thick!
And to think, this door was hauled from New York City. I’m guessing it was disassembled for shipping.

It begins… Well, the beginning of the beginning anyway. Still have to clean up and get the concrete floor epoxied, etc. But we needed to get some crap out of storage by Wednesday, so moved the first rack over today:
…a bunch of half shelves will line the perimeter of the garage loft storage area, but we plan to fill this taller shelf, and maybe one more, with lighter stuff like Christmas decorations, seasonal pillows, etc. down the middle. The floor is structural, and reinforced to be a true second floor structure, but I don’t like overloading any structure.
Everything must go into totes, and fit onto these shelving units…if it doesn’t fit, we’re getting rid of it!
Debating whether or not I’ll anchor the racks to the plywood subfloor (well, the floor in this case I suppose), I always anchor them, especially the ones anchored to the concrete in my other garage loaded down with heavier stuff, but we’ll likely move these around a bit as we get rid of crap to streamline our lives as we roll into our second, and hopefully final retirement!
We’ll see.

Mt Rainier on the left, Mt St Helens on the right
Working on an 855D at work. Spent over an hour getting mud off the engine so I could get to the oil filter and fuel filter.
Steering rack is broken and this is what 3 of the CV shafts look like.

Fields gettin planted and a decent weather to burn a few items
Rained off and on all day here…. And I finished well outside the trophy times for today’s autocross…happy to be out regardless.
…but got to pass a milestone for our garage build! Floor’s hardened enough to park on now, so the track toy got put away wet and dirty in its new home!
Put the golf cart in there too to free up more room in the main garage as we clear out the last storeroom. Thank God!
Ideally the golf cart will go under the P car/under the lift, but this build has gone so far over budget, I’m pretty sure we’ll need to sell the golf cart to pay for the lift. LoL

…….gotta love the spring turn arounds at the chem plants…….
Almost feels like a crime treating a pair of Thorogoods like this.
Sorry for shit picture it’s the only one I have.
This evening I hopped in the Kubota to move a down tree in an area I want to run the brush cutter . Well in less than 5 minutes I about killed myself .
First it’s not mine so I have been running it with kid’s gloves all winter working on my land . When I use the bucket to push I go slow. Well… I guess I didn’t go slow enough. I went from a log in the bucket to another log through the windshield and pushed into my chest. I have no idea where it came from. Need a new windshield and new underwear.
Go back with glass or ???
Go back to glass, you can’t see out of poly after a year. Evidently your first windshield on you. It gets better, glad you’re safe.

You had all the pretty little yellow flowers surrounding you today….
Did a proof of concept run for my new Shot Marker (aluminum) frame in the pits this morning and it was successful. @Fixr approved……
Sensor kit is due to arrive this coming Friday
And one more fog shot from the target point back towards the firing line.
That’s the top of my 25x15 IPSIC to the left of my fancy new frame in the third frame picture

WVU Spring game.... Miss being in that place...
Burning up old fuel is always fun.
On Monday the 2024 World Jet Boat Championship ran a leg on a local river. This race runs mostly on the Rogue River and will be on the Klamath River for a day also but they were running Monday on the Coquille river in tidewater, from Bandon to the city of Coquille.
There are four classes of boats based on engines. Fastest are the unlimited which run a turbine engine. Attached video show one of these boats going by. Fastest leg by an unlimited boat was to cover the 23 mile leg in 11 minutes flat, that works out to 125+ mph average.
And the slowest class still averaged 90 mph.
Guessing this boat was at least 115 mph if not faster going by. Jet Boat Race

Did not expect to have snow falling on the ground and sticking this last weekend. This was taken Saturday. Had at least 0.5-.75" on that railing Saturday and Sunday. Had a few storms come through. Still had some Monday but it all melted.
