[powdahound76]

Damn.
@Mooseknuckles - I wont lie man. Saw your post this AM before church (hadnt started drinkin yet, cept coffee) and it hit me like a ton a bricks.
I always wanted more kids which I have now, but not those memories of their births. That is a magical moment.

Sleep is for pussies. Being a dad is awesome.

Keep kickin ass.

Little up date:
Momma and baby are doing great. They are doing hearing test today and giving Hadlee a bath. As long as everything else is good we will be going home today.
Our other daughters quote from yesterday. “Well mom and dad can come home and she can stay here” lol!! I laughed pretty hard at that one.

Well go the word from the doc, not going home today. Got to stay one more day.

 

[powdahound76]

Reminds me of a story from about 8 years ago. Gal I worked with had twins and had a 3.5 yr old son. The twins were about 4 months old when he asked his mom “when do they go back inside?”

Still laugh my butt off telling that one. Kids are hilarious.

[powdahound76]

Yer too old for that Mr Mike.

You gonna bust a hip!

And Now I have an image of you roller skating around to the song “I’ve Got a Brand New Pair of Rollerskates”.

Not quite as delightful as Heather Graham though........ ?

Congratulations moose.

When you need privacy to take a shit.



Hopefully soon he gets the toilet thing down.

This might be better.

Messing around with a new toy and some old handloads.

Factory Remington 700 .308
McMillan HTG
Bushnell 10X

I had to laugh when I looked through the scope at those 1” squares. At 10X they look mighty small?

[Longrangeprecision762]

I slapped a Vortex D.T. 4-16 on my AR just for fun. Popping clay pigeons at 400 yards was a blast. It was heck of a lot easier to see my impacts and adjust than with my 1-8.

 

[powdahound76]

@Bryan W M - laughing because I have been there.
My daughter was the easiest kid to potty train.
oldest one took FOREVER to be able to make it through the night. Kid has an IQ off the damn charts. Also took him till 8 to be able to tie his shoes.......
He is maturing and catching up on stuff now. Just wasn't an issue or priority.

Nice Jimmy !
Looks like your weather broke too. We’re broken overcast with some sun. We’re headed to Vancouver, having Christmas dinner “out” tomorrow. Mrs TC is really starting to dig not cooking........?

@1J04, those pics are great. Very pretty.

Have a safe trip Brother, and a great time !!!!

I thought so too. I had to stop and get out for the bottom ones, but I could see where I was going was a better show right outside of South Bend, so hauled ass to catch it. Got lucky.

 

[1J04]

Funnier than hell. The Son of a guy my Dad use to drive log truck for decided to go next level up here for the holidays. I know Moose knows Crawford's. Pretty darn funny.

Hi,

Aren't there supposed to be elk up in that area?
Where are they at?

Lots of elk up here, they are laying low after getting chased for 4 months.

We ended up home today. A big relief for everyone. My oldest daughter was excited we were back home with her new baby sister. Momma and baby are doing great.
My daughter likes singing to her when she is in the swing. It’s pretty cute.

 

[powdahound76]

First, @Mooseknuckles that just made me smile so darn big. Just freakin perfect. That Joy (and exhaustion) will keep going. Love it!!

@oneshot86 - dude, best cover the size. I seen pictures of you and you dont have feet boys size 5-8.......? We would like to see a video of a youngster roller skating on that stuff though.

at the rest of you, great stuff, have a good one. I still have dishes to finish and a bit of a premium vino to finish.

Due to funky parent/kid schedules I am people free in the AM. Plan to be on top of a mountain in the foothills on the west side of town to watch the sunrise.
Im far from perfect (aint we all) and my faith is a huge part of my life. A beautiful sunrise has a lot of meaning to me about the new day and our new beginning that started with his birth. A cup of jet black coffee on a mountain top is a good way for me to reflect and enjoy that best gift.

take care and Merry Christmas gents.

 

[Mooseknuckles]

Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

On schedule for a record breaking temp tomorrow on Christmas Day of 55 degrees. I know I always post dopey pics of my rifles shooting off the deck (yawn). But, today I’ll include the “paperwork”. If you look at shot #1 it proves that an idiot can make a proper wind call once in a while. The orange dot on steel is 1.5”

can I get a blank copy of that paperwork?

 

[Toney198]

Also maybe the address to the deck!! LOL

 

[tnichols]

can I get a blank copy of that paperwork?

Absolutely. PM me and we’ll make it work. It’s a homemade cobbled up thing I’ve put together over the years.

Done and thank you!

 

[Barneybdb]

Just finished Christmas lunch down here, having a Bourbon and cigarette out the back in 98f weather and trying out my AK gel blaster.

 

[powdahound76]

@tnichols

I wouldnt complain about any of those wind calls/holds personally.
the difference at that range is a mouse fart in the field over to move the shot that much.

nice day in Dec in IA for shooting for sure!!

 

[Srgt. Hulka]

My Christmas morning sunrise.

 

[Srgt. Hulka]

 

[Bryan W M]

Still need the insulated suppressor cover.

Marry Christmas to all of you.

I'll get pictures of the little man up later.

 

[powdahound76]

My Christmas sunrise. Woke a bit before 5 and hoofed it up this hill in the dark. Brought a down jacket and a thermos of coffee. Sat there for just over an hour in complete peace watching the sky change.
Merry Christmas all!!

 

[timesublime]

Nice picture. Good old Green Mountain!

 

[tnichols]

Near record breaking warmth here today. Mid 50’s. We will surely pay for it ?. Abandoned traditional Christmas evening meal for grilling. My view at sunset

Went for a drive today. Western Slope, Colorado.
