Thursday Morning

good morning folks. It's 50º and cloudy here, spitting rain. Supposed to get into the 70's later. Last day of the work week here. We get Good Friday off. Good thing we do because I still have a lot to do to get the boat ready for Monday. Looks like opening day (Sat) is going to be a blowout. Gale warnings up with 3-4 ft waves. Doesn't sound like much but 2 footers are a mess in the bay. It's not the size, it's the time between the crests. When you have a 3' crest every couple seconds, that's a serious chop. Monday is supposed to be beautiful.

I got my mowing done last evening and even took time to spray the weeds in the back yard. Not sure the stuff I used is going to work. Those weeds are a bitch to kill, especially clover. Guess we'll find out in a day or two? I also finally got some tomatoes seeds started. Little late, but hopefully that just means we'll get 'maters later.

Feeling a little better each day, but Miss Sue came home yesterday with the Flu. Just what she needed. I hope I don't get that on top of what I have.

Well I better get busy. Prayers offered. Have a good one!

Charlie

It's good to see MPC on here this morning, he doesn't need to smother out on us again. We would miss you Mike.

It's a cloudy day here with a threat of rain the next couple days. I hope. Yesterday, i did some barn repair again and I am sore all over from climbing up and down ladders and the barn loft. I am not planning much today , but something will develop I'm sure.



That longass girl holding my ladder is Jacksons GF that he's trying to run off. She won't leave, but was handy today!
I hope to give my hip joints a rest today. The new Bull is still in the field...ignoring the Damcows.
Maybe i can give him a demonstration with Judy Brown what he supposed to do. Ha.

Dean had a calf that looks like she stepped in the Paint Bucket but she sure is a cute one!



Off to sling out a couple rolls of hay, be safe folks and hope Charlie and Miss Sue gets better.

Thursday

Is it still morning? 65 with rain in Indy heading for 65 with rain. Been a gun room day so far once I survived breakfast. Dirtiest job in there is cleaning the bolt carrier group on an AR. Fortunately, some surgical gloves followed Julie home a while back. They are the cat's meow for such jobs. Tested 6 different loads in the 1:7 twist .224 Valkyrie yesterday. To my surprise, the best group was 60 gr Sierra HPs with a stout load of CFE223. Shot about 3/4" off a bipod. Danged thing doesn't seem to like the heavier bullets I expected it to shoot. I gotta' figure out a way to to get that M-Lok hand guard to settle down on a rest or bags.

Time to unload the tumbler but I'm giving the foam a couple more hours to work in the AR bore.

JR, was that girl holding the ladder or shaking it? Her feet ain't on the ground! Will Judy Brown hold a ladder behind a cow while you're puttin' on that demonstration for the bull?

Shane, how long did you cook those chops? You guys have got me shopping for one of those sous vide thing-a-ma-jigs. I think Target has 'em right across the street.

Sometimes its' kinda' fun showing up late. Have a good one.
