Thursday Morning

morning all. 28 here with high 50s later. Wasn't too bad yesterday, warm, sunny, cloudy, breezy, then little rain and a nice wet snow flurry late afternoon that turned the ground white. When it quit the sun popped back out and took it all off.
Worked in the shop most of the day, but had to stop every so often to go check on the heifers. Boss man was gone out to one of the summer pastures to clean the ditches before the run off from the mountain gets down there.
I took one loader and pulled 14 bridges out that are for one sprinkler to cross a cement ditch. If we don't pull them when the water and weeds come down all the bridges end up at one end in a pile where the ditch company drags them out with the backhoe. Just easier for me to do it first!
Better get, breakfast ready.
Have a good day and be safe.
GOD BLESS. Dean

Good morning everyone......46° here this morning and looking like it might hit low 60's. Yesterday afternoon was nice, I got home from the shop about 5pm and fired up the grill for some burgers and assembled my rifle to break in the barrel and bolted a scope on a resurrected Sako 6ppc. Got to my dad's and set up to test fire the Sako first, I had only 15 rounds so I got the scope close with 2 rounds and fired a 5 shot group. They were 58g Vmax over 29.2g of CFE223

I walked down and looked at the target and came back and shot the last 8 rounds.


I got my 260AI broke in with about 10 rounds of shoot and clean. I still have a clearance issue between the stock and barrel at the forend. I can't recall the number in this group.

My last 3 shots on a warm dirty barrel made this nice little spot on target.

This is how it looks now, action needs refinished and it has a temporary bolt knob until the new one comes in. C prefix action ad an older Mcmillin stock I believe. It is a A.B.C. 8 twist barrel finished right over 26".

Ok enough with the picture show I have work that needs looked at.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Shane, that is a good looking rifle. I like traditional looking stocks, guess I just ain't into BR stocks that look like boat paddles with orange or purple paint on them.
Things are warming up nicely here in KENTUCKY but it is Dry,Dry Dry. We have a Burn Ban in place here now, and one of my COW watering springs has already dried up.
Still feeding hay as the grass is not growing.

Judy Brown is somers around Nashville doing who knows what....hope the Wimmen stat safe and out of jail. Told her to call Greyfox for Bail money. Jackson came up last afternoon and I cooked some burgers on the grill. I think he ran off his big titted woman finally....they are a dime a dozen for young feller with a JOB making good money, not to mention a ship in Lake Cumberland. I wouldn't have that money pit if you gave it to me.

Today is Captain Jesse's last day in Company Command. I'm sure he has had a bad week in preparation for the turn over. I have not heard from him for a while. Do nothing I hope for a while and return to the USA about the end if MAY. It's been a long 3 and a half years since he has stepped foot on the USA dirt.

Jackson took me with him to see a friend's camper he just purchased, it is indeed a BIGGUN, He got it used and saved a lot of money.....He is into the RZR stuff and all that goes with it like our friend Skruske.



I'm unsupervised today so I will try not to get pinned in a machine or cut off appendages with a chain saw.
