Doing a lot more fishing, cleaned all my guns, even though they did not need it. Driving my wife insane.

I tried a puzzle once. With 2 cats there were puzzle pieces all over the house. Threw it away.

I improvised a mini shooting range at home in the hallway to shoot with my 46 years old Diana air rifle. From the livingroom to the target in the hallway is about nine meters so now I can keep practicing a little bit anyway.
I like the target and backstop. It's a good idea and a great way to pass the time indoors. Nice target too!

The Speer plastic bullets are not to be taken lightly!I ended up with bullet holes through the glass of my french doors to the court yard.
With a magnum primer out of a rifle they will pierce one of the old style 'coffee cans' clean through at about 15 yards - and the hole is clean and not 'ragged'.

Re: What to do at home with the corona-crisis
being retired, with the exception of visiting friends and family, our schedule hasn't hasn't changed very much .... since returning home from Texas, have mowed once, put new tires on our pickup, picked up a winter's worth of limbs, began working on a few minor repairs on our camper, smoked 20 lbs of sausage, started learning how to use our new grill, and keep our soon to be 4 year old Grandson ....

Re: What to do at home with the corona-crisis
Our ranges and gun stores are all closed so I did some plinking from the hobby room window. The air guns are okay but the BB gun is really hit or miss. You can see the bb in some light conditions and it’s like shooting indirect fire.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: What to do at home with the corona-crisis
I hear that, with a kitten and a young cat I have small items missing that I haven't seen for months. One of them got a hold of a small bottle of prescription eye drops a month ago, my home isn't that big but I spent over an hour looking and couldn't find it. It still hasn't shown up.

Re: What to do at home with the corona-crisis
I bought a new (for me) motorcycle, a BMW R1200GS. With the lockdown we have in the Netherlands, almost everything is closed but when the weather is nice, I go for a ride. Fortunately, there are some nice roads in the area where I live.
I made a YouTube video of my new BMW:

It is in Dutch with English subtitles
Fortunately, this week the shooting range will open again after a long time being closed. There are only be a limited number of shooters allowed but we organised time slots so every clubmember has a chance to shoot.
