Sunday Morning

Good Sunday morning folks. It is 66° here with sunshine and some clouds. Chance of rain, maybe. We had rain yesterday morning a bit, then just cloudy skoes the rest of the day for the gun raffle. It did rain right at the very end. Just made things wet and shooed people out faster. It soon quit and we were able to box up the guns without them getting wet. Record crowd for our gun club. Good for them. I managed to gamble away 50 bucks, but I won 100, and gambled away another 50 bucks to break even. Hey, that's pretty goog for me.

Miss Sue and I stopped at the new Gander Outdoors on the way home to check it out. Meh...didn't really impress me, but they did have lots of boating supplies though. I may need something sometime.

Speaking of boats...I guess if it doesn't rain I might get the compounding amd waxing done today. At least that's the plan. First I need coffee and something to eat.

Have a good one.

Great morning everyone,

Scatter rain around with 65° here near Halfway USA.

Oil got disposed of properly & no spillage. When I got the ******* Limo back home I started in on replacing the ABS sensor. With just the average amateur tools I have, I was able to remove the hub extension after some shade tree engineering. It was all to no avail though. The ABS sensor was broken off inside the unitized hub assembly. I know when it happened exactly. Back in February we'd driven through a lot of slush & water in Ohio on the way to the damncow farm. The truck sat still at the farm all weekend & when we left it was below freezing. I believe ice had formed around the sensor and attached itself to the inner hub. When we backed out, it snapped off.

Oh well, time to write a check to the mechanic and have it done right. At least all the components will come apart easily for him.

The Hoe House is all stained & sealed. Debra Dearest is pleased with the results.

Time to get at cleaning and organizing the garage. Seems to have become a collecting area for crap we no longer need. It's headed to someone else garage or out to the road on trash day.

Good morning, GoGo. It's 71 in Louisville, going to 87. We've had three glorious days of overcast, rain, and much cooler temps. Sure enjoyed it. But the heat returns by next weekend, with several days in the mid-90s.

Scott, when I saw you use that term Hoe House, I have to admit the gardening utensil wasn't the first thing that popped into my mind. Something tells me Miss Debra may have an outfit pretty much like this one. If she doesn't, she should. She could leave it hanging in the Hoe House. Just sayin'.



Now that I think about it, back when JR was riding west with Doc and Birddog, didn't they stop one time at a place called the Hoe House?

Gotta go get dressed for church. Not much else planned, although if I'm lucky I might get to hoe the garden late this afternoon.

Morning

Good morning ya' varmints. It's 72 in Indy heading for 83. A cool down, sorta'. Got Sunday off to the usual start. Breakfast and a stop by Rural King. Talked calibers a bit with the guy at the gun counter. I mentioned we had shot a lot of .204 in SD. He said they carry it but he doesn't recall ever selling any. Hmmmm. Picked up a jar of peach jalapeno jam just because. I'll dump some over cream cheese and see how it works on a Triscuit or a Ritz cracker. Ever the curious guy, I am. Tumbling the last of the SD brass which means there's a crap ton of sizing and trimming in my future.

Anybody remember River Valley Ordinance? Sent them over 2K pieces of .223 brass years ago. Those have been shot more than they should have been for sure. Some maybe into double digits. They sealed the primers with red lacquer so I'm tossing everything that is showing red around the primer pockets. Just gave my BIL a Skruske-bucket of .223 brass and told him he should check for red. I still have plenty. Some new, some high-mileage. Thinking about annealing but I've never done it. I'll look for info on that internet thingy.

Y'all have a good day.

low 70's this morning in the hollow. Yesterday was a busy one as I got up @ 5:00 and drove a bit more than an hour south to help put on the UBR match at Strategic Edge. I didn't shoot due to a commitment to attend a wedding in the late afternoon and felt the match would run a little too long. I was right and left early to drive back north, then after a shower and change of clothes drove back south again the my granddaughter's wedding. It was quite an affair with about 125 folks. I was sure glad I wasn't footing the bill which we estimated at more than $20,000. But the party was good including the food and adult beverages. Since I don't get on well with her father I genuinely enjoyed the occasion on his dime. Didn't get home until after 11:00 and was slow getting up this morning, but the dogs thought 6:00 was enough. Not sure what today will bring, but I'm sure something will get done, worthwhile or not.

G'day Y'all,
Rick
