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.......

Right now it's 80° under mostly cloudy skies. They've lowered our rain chances down to 40% from 80% (yesterday). We do need a bit of rain. I've got plenty of work to do. The rest of the crew went to our local library where Robyn works to show off the baby. Later,

Sounds like a great day ahead, hope the wind cooperates today.
Good luck and enjoy.

Well, we got within 50 feet of a turkey, but alas a hen, so she got to carry on with her day.

Then we went fishing. First day on the new boat. No fish were harmed. Then we sighted in the young lads new crossbow. I also showed off a bit with my turkey sniper rifle, and took the first shots with my 1954 Ithaca Model 37 16 gauge. First ever shots with a 16 gauge actually. Then a couple of tequilas down at our friends dock. Not a bad day at all!

Good morning, 47 here this AM. Loaded some more of those 165 gr 30-30's to plink with, but never got around to them.
Worked in the yard a good bit. So I just might get some shootin in here in a bit.

Sounds like a nice day there Red, I've never fired a 16 ga. either. They're just not that popular around here and neither is the ammo.

Jim, I've been to Talladega three times, last time I was there was Earnhardt Sr.'s last win.

Sunny today: low of 27 with a high be of 60: currently 30. Typical Sunday, Mass, Skype with Denmark family, brunch but today I will try to message with one of my sons who was recently deployed overseas. My granddaughter that is my shooting partner just texted she would like to take me shooting today, but I have to drive because she is only 13 and no driver license! Everyone have a great Sunday! 🇺🇸

Sitting in the motor home about five miles south of the border in the middle of nowhere. Shazam, here I am with two bars on my phone and hot spotting to my iPad. We have had some very sketchy cellular in the past but never this good. Must be a new antenna nearby. How bout that!

37 this morning with a good rain (expected) overnight. Beautiful sunshine now and great weather expected for the rest of the week. So far the pup is doing great with rv life and is thrilled with the romping around he has here. Crazy as he has just as much romping around room at home but there must be some great smells around. Here after the local news comes on (Dish Tailgator portable dish) I’m going to take the dogs for a hike up the hill. Later I plan to send some copper and lead into the RR tie backstop my son and I put in. I’m thinking I may be able to post pics from here which I didn’t expect.

It was a cool 53 degrees this morning on the dog walk. I actually took two dog walks today. The boxer pulls so hard that I take him solo for management purposes. I just had some cereal and coffee for breakfast. I don't have any set plans for the day.
