Just a Cowboy day today.......

Post by fortyshooter » Wed Aug 14, 2024 3:43 pm

Perfect weather so just wanted to "Cowboy out" with my old Winchester Model 1892 and matching 6 shooter plus bring along the double trouble 20 Coach gun. Got bushwhacked three times before I got started with the first being a pile of dog poop right where I step out my truck :evil: Then after setting my stuff up on the 50 yd. pavilion I decide to grab my favorite red chair on the porch. Well it won't no red chair but a red wasp gernade that went off when I moved hit! Holy Cow.. take cover!!! :shock: 3rd issue was while walking towards my spot I almost walked in a new Fire Ant pile of dirt that wasn't there 2 days ago cutting the grass!!! Got to go back an agent orange those devils!!! :twisted:

Plan was just to relax after two days of grass cutting and ENJOY a great plinking day which I did. The Saloon had couple of old bottles of Arizona Tea that needed to be disposed of. That stuff full of sugar!!

Great time shooting the Winchester!

Sounds like a "mostly" fun day.

Life’s full of hurdles isn’t it? :lol: Thankfully you were able to turn some setbacks into a fun day. Plus had those obstacles done you in those gnarly Arizona Tea’s would still be terrorizing the world. Thanks for removing the threat. :D

That is a real interesting start to what seemed like a decent day otherwise. Glad you came out unscathed.
