I assume your asking me that, Jim. Actually nowhere special. It'll be wilderness. Just us and the black flies :Doh!.  We'll cross in Maine. About 1300 miles the way we have it mapped.

Sweet!we travel often to mid and northern BC for killer trout and grayling fishing, hope I have 1 more trip left in me!

Been sitting on the porch, waiting for someone to say they were turning out powder measures on their lathe.
Since Jim said that, now I don't know what I'm gonna do. Maybe I should ask him to post some pictures. I might be in the market for an 80 grain for the GPR. Sure am getting itchy to take a poke at that long range postage stamp target ( If I can figure out how to set my adjustable powder measure for 80 grains).  :lol sign

Theyre coming, finish is drying, 80 gr? I'll see what I can do, figured Maple or Cherry?

That shoild be fun, where you headed in Canuckastan?

Not doing much in the way of muzzleloading lately. Been doing some kayaking and motorcycle riding. Getting ready for a dirt bike camping trip up to Canada in June.

Been busy building a few new garden beds for the boss lady, got the veges in and going, tuned a dozen powder measures on the lathe and have the finish curing on them, then 3 or 4 nights a week we are at the grandkids soccer games, that cuts into my good dinners, getting tired of pizza, sandwiches and breakfast for dinner, soccer can't end soon enough!

That question says it all!  It sure is quiet around here.  I admit that I haven't been as prolific as I could be, but it looks like membership interest has dwindled to almost being disinterested!   :Doh!

Just saying.....

Just trying to get stuff around the house done.  Seemingly a never ending chore. 

Getting a beef stew ready to drop into the slow cooker in a few minutes.  After that, I will start a batch of pork and beans in the Instapot.  As much as I like cooking with my cast iron pots and pans, these few electric conveniences are terrific.
 
We spent a week at Lake Tahoe last week, and I had the "Joy???????" of cooking on an electric stove.  Couldn't wait to get back to my wonderful gas stove at home.  I cannot say how much I dislike electric stoves.  YUK!!!  And the dips^@ts here in Kalifornia want to outlaw them.  Goes to show how smart they are (not).

That's about all.

I'm at work, nursing home.
 State inspectors are here all week. Awesome!!
 I'm planning on playing with ginger tomorrow.
 Gonna run some..535 balls thru her just to see if they tighten up my groups.
 With .530 I can cover the my 25yd group with my thumb.
So not expecting much improvement.
 I'll try her at 50 yds too.
