Speaking of gun and ammo,

I'd hoped to have shot a bunch more at the outdoor range over the past couple of months.  Demands on time had eased, but then the weather decided to play games.  We've had a lot of rain, some heavy, some just enough to keep things from drying out.  And slogging through mud to set targets isn't a lot of  fun.

Throw in yard stuff.  There's a tree I need to prune back, but I'm afraid it's going to involve calling someone, because it needs to be done up in the tree, and I don't have the safety gear for that.*  So I've been lopping off what I can with a pruning pole, and I'm about at the edge of what I can safely do there with a ladder.

So I'm still behind time-wise.  And trying to keep the house cleaned up takes time as well, even doing a bit at a time.

And, oh look, it's rained a little more this morning.  The forecast last night was cloudy but dry until tonight, now it's a fair chance of rain today 'then mostly cloudy'.  Fat damn chance.  Well, maybe I can fit in some loading for stuff to shoot when it does dry a bit.**



*I have fallen out of a tree once as an adult; it wasn't fun.  Paying someone is a lot cheaper, too.
** Which will make it humid as hell until some of this moisture finally goes away.

Every new mass act of hooliganism and looting triggers a desire to buy some more ammo and revisit the armory equipment list.

Used to lead to a bit more ammo and occasionally a new boomstick which was manageable. Now with the predicted leftist operational tempo increase, finding scratch to fund this is getting harder. We shall prevail nonetheless.
