What's Everyone Doing?

[Winter Hawk]

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!   

Just saying.....

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.

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.

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!

[No Powder]

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).

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.

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

[Hank in WV]

I assume your asking me that, Jim. Actually nowhere special. It'll be wilderness. Just us and the black flies .  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!

Well, that's a fine howdy-do!  I had a reply half done and somehow managed to make it disappear!  Well, try again. 

Nothing exciting has been going on.  Had my annual physical on Monday; all looks good except for whatever measurement it is for diabetes.  I'm now "borderline" pre-diabetic, so have to cut back on sugar which means none as I haven't been a heavy sugar consumer anyway.

Shooting, I haven't really had the chance to get to the range, and when I did it was raining.  I'll see what tomorrow brings.  If the morning is dry I want to get out and shoot the May targets.  Also need to do the weekly shopping.

We had to put one of the cats down last week.  He came to us as a foster with medical needs.  He was found in a trailer with 27 (!) other cats.  It was so bad the folks getting them out had to wear oxygen masks.  He was skin over bones, ears were tattered and super sick.  We nursed him back to health which took over 3 months, but he has always been sickly with draining eyes and upper respiratory problems.  No one wanted to adopt him so we took him permanently.  That was 8 years ago.  He came down with another sinus infection and it took him down to the point that he couldn't eat or drink,  They tried the three strongest antibiotics and they didn't do anything.  He had a good life here and we decided it was best to help him over the divide.  Still a real bummer!

And that is all the news from Lake Woebegone....

Yard work, honey do's, Gun club work, garage work, everything but car servicing. when you're retired everyone thinks you're available to help.

[No Powder]

Well, I had a good black powder turkey season. I hunted two days and killed two birds with two different fowlers. Now I'm just waiting around for squirrel season to open on May 25th. I have a whole passel of young-n-tenders running around the house that I need to bring in for dinner. I came up with a new recipe for fixing them that I am anxious to try out, birria squirrel enchiladas!
