My youngest daughter shooting my SCAR-16 today at the range. She also shredded the X ring with my Vudoo.
Still rocking the Hanoi Jane at my favorite German bar. Watching polka bands and drinking beer.
And my buddy, who's not in the band....is on the drums.
Spent the afternoon at my girlfriend's parents. Had fun with the cats. Chased ducks till he fell in the gravel. Swam till he was jackhammering.
And when we got home
no pics. Again.
Wedding with momma tonight. Friend of hers from work.
Momma was so smokin in a black and white stripe dress and some Kenneth Cole heals I about lost it a couple times.
Beautiful wedding, great folks. Free bourbon, though I limited out at 3 around 2030 so I could drive home with no issues.
Dancing with her should be great for the next 50+ years!

To quote Ted Summers, "A dog bite is bad, real fuckin' bad. But, it's not as bad as a gunshot wound."
The one I haven’t built yet is going to have the best figure.
Not sure yet, that’s why I haven’t built it... had the stock for a few years now. Probably some smaller caliber since I have the 308 and 358 already.
A fast twist 250 Savage improved. Or 25 CM if you wanna be more modern in name with the same end result.
I was thinking more like plain 243 or 22/250... like my 308; be able to go anywhere and in a pinch buy ammo off the shelf
May I suggest a CRF .270 or .257 Roberts? Old school and classy.
Real performers with the new bullets and faster barrels.
Of course with some shoulders blown out and case walls straighter...... ?

Hiked the old military road dating back from the Indian Wars. Cool spot between tracts of private on BLM. No access unless you cross country it 3 miles.
Short action stock. And 257 Roberts ammo isn’t found most places
During road work today, red got a little down, and just stopped. Couldn't go on...... almost depressed, needed an uplifting experience just to go on. Poor red.....??????
Before....
During....
reds down moment.
After....
I read some of the other posts in bearpit and the excuses to some behaviors, n some whining...
In view II, I see lots of pictures of people doing real life stuff... family, children, flowers, fish, guns, hunting, flying, work, good looking food n drink, n friends, hey, the American Dream...
Any of yall suppose some folks need to get into life a bit more, n electronics less ?????

You ain't a kiddin'...............But........It's hard to do. Hell, "everything" is at your fingertips these days, good and bad.
.257 Roberts fits nicely in a short action. Not sure why most folks put it in a long action. It's a real hammer.
No flies on .243 either, or .260 Rem for that matter.
Some weekend shots.
Storms inbound tonight with a cold front that is supposed to make Monday-Tuesday feel pretty amazing!
Highs in the mid 70's with low humidities.
New blades on the Ferris. Nothing cuts like new blades.
Some geese keep coming well past the usual cutoff this year. They must have lost their nests to weather or predators as none nest here.
We should be seeing some quali-sized turneys here in another week or so. Those two hens are always around, so I know they've got nests nearby.

Like how the Turkeys are hangin with the Geese!
Super busy weekend around the acreage, ball tournaments, etc... Miss Lori weeding one of her Iris beds late this afternoon.
Right on T? We kicked a little ass up here too! By time we get done tonight, all the guys feel like they were hit by a truck.
Buzz did got too. Worked a 10 on Friday after school and then a 12 on Saturday and a 12 today. He complained a bit at 11 tonight when I sent him in before we are done tearing down.

Just helping a friend reduce the surplus population, 15 Apr.
Visited my mom a while ago. She has a great dog.
Yes, kept having to throw big ones back due to the limit!
Awesome! my dad just bought a house down there in mead. looking forward to heading down there again went out with striper express in march. Also got on a few schools with our own boat some really nice size fish in there.
Apparently everyone around here knows about the place but me. Been gone a lot for the last 10yrs though. Just around the corner:

Just booked tickets to spend the week of Independence Day in Louisiana visiting family.
Aunt Susie the retired nun lives there. Momma’s brother, his family, and her parents are coming.
Planning on lots of good food and a few gallons of Abita beer.
Got a good buddy in Houma. Probably snag a car and go visit his coonass for a day. Maybe see if we can go out in the swamp in his boat. Will bring skeeter nets!
He lives on a lake, so we could fish there too if he says the swamp is too nasty.
Anything you might suggest in the Covington area sounds good.
Will be traveling with 3 youngsters, possibly the whole clan (note spelling, not like Creeky’s Klan) so bear in mind.
Also, Im quite mellow on debauchery these days anyways.
Low key is good, though a good boat ride would be really cool

Hi,
Take the trip to Hammond and visit Sports Optics to get your eyeballs on as many scopes as you can lol.
Go to Acme Oyster house in Covington for "boo fries"...French Fries covered with roast beef and gravy.
Go to The Chimes in Covington for fried bowtie pasta with spinach/artichoke dip.
Sincerely,
Theis

I live near Mile High Shooting in CO. They carry most of the top shelf stuff, or have in the past.
The fried bowtie pasta sounds good.....
This is all family stuff.

Thats it!! He has a boat for saltwater too. Redfishing sounds great. Kinda wanted a swamp tour to let the kids see gators.
Fishin sounds better!
I remember catching fresh redfish in Pensacola visiting my aunt as a teenager and then making it up later that evening. On a grill burner to not fill her place with smoke.....
Thanks for the suggestion @Snuby642
I messaged him a bit ago, but he has 3 kids and works early, so he probably already passed out.
