If you're shooting by yourself it really doesn't matter to me either. But now that I shoot with my wife and boys, we all gotta match. Makes comms much easier

Both of mine are a year and a half old (give or take) and haven’t had one go down...yet ?
Happy Birthday One shot, and well wishes for Barney.
Barney, best wishes amigo and sorry for your worries? When you do get over here and if you happened upon the badlands of Arizona make sure to give a shout out. There’s a fine beer here called a ‘Kilt Lifter’ that does a damn fine job of knocking down the trail dust and my treat.?
Good deal on the smoke.@Rthur This is OUR eat your heart out moment. Kick'n back and staring at the ONE.Let's get this thing going!

One that size would do nicely.

Thanks mate, you anywhere near Kingman? I did some work there for Contech a few years back.
Set up a factory for them to produce spirally wound steel reinforced plastic pipe, an Australian designed product. They ended up buying our company and made me redundant in 2011.
Aw you guys just don't know a man cave when you see one, real men paint outside the lines.
Heh, heh, heh........
(Ain't no big thang......just teasin')
Ouch and damn. Australia also provided us with some damn fine cloth canopy designs specific to desert heat and thermal dynamics to keep the shaded areas ambient. A little more expensive but then you get what you pay for?
You got Buzz trained as far as cleaning his fair share ? (I know, stupid question......
)We’re supposed to clean this things? Screw that, shoot ‘em.You got Buzz trained as far as cleaning his fair share ? (I know, stupid question......
Yeah, I bet I know what Geno's answer's gonna be.....I bet he's gonna say it's some of the best Father/Son time that he'll ever spend......And, he wouldn't be wrong.....not by a longshot.
I would clean every gun twice if that's what it took to get him out with me ever time. He's learning how I do things so it's mostly watching for him while I clean. This is going to be his first time out with his 6.5-47. 120 amax at a little over 2900 kicks like a kitten with the can on. Headed to a friends farm that loves that my kids are into it since he raised 3 city slicker pussy. Being a former army ranger I think that's something he would have liked to have done different.

Soybeans are a bit too high but we're making a day of it! The 6.5-47 is still a bit much for him but the 223ai is putting a huge smile on his face!!
So cool your doing this stuff with your son on the gun amigo.? Never got this degree of exposure as a kid but made sure mine did as well?
Keep them shooting!
They will not have time or money for stupid stuff.

Beautiful setting. Looks like the weather stayed reasonably comfortable. It was sweltering here today. Looks like a great day for you both. Could you get out very far?
Spent the day around the Boulder River. Last pic is dry bed where it runs exclusively underground for a distance this time of year.
It is a pretty nice farm. When the sun came out of got pretty humid but it really was a perfect day. Only got out to 300. It was the first time for Buzz and I out there and the guy that invited us is just showing interesting in shooting for more than just hunting. The layout isn't that great for when crops are in shooting from. The location we were at. It's a 300 acre farm so we'll do some things different next time out.
Where is that CMH? Beautiful place.
I mistakenly thought the Popoagi (pronounced Po-posha) in Sinks Canyon outside Lander was the only one in NA. I recommend visiting that area if you get a chance.

Decided that Friday evening would be a nice time for a little outdoor fire get together.
Invited the neighbors over. Riley was with his biological dad, but they did bring Caroline and the two little ones.
No photos of Caroline. She was having a hard time with her feeding and she was pretty upset for a while. Momma finally got her settled down when it was getting dark and she seemed to enjoy herself.
I had a handful of bottle rockets left from our fireworks show earlier this summer, so we launched a few of them.
I was roasting the marshmallows for the girls because they didn't like getting too close to the fire.
I'm doing one for Maggie and Abby hands me a "stick" and says, "Do this one for me next!"
Not really paying full attention I take it from her with my free hand and begin to put it over the flames, when I notice this stick is pretty short and very uniform feeling.
She's skewered a marshmallow onto a live bottle rocket and handed me the business end.
So she's climbed onto the ATV, dug it out of the cargo basket and sneaked it back over to me without being noticed.
Maggie enjoys her first s'more.
Abby liked the basic marshmallow.
Until ...
Dad and I shared roasting duties. He didn't get a bottle rocket.
The cordless leaf blower is great for keeping the fire going when the wood's a little damp.

ADORABLE !!! We need a quadruple like button for really special photos and moments like this! Kudos!

I used the leaf blower trick from time to time also?

Well, that's a little sneaky......

That's Abby. She's going on a watch list here pretty soon.
Slightly cooler and slightly drier air meant getting the pond banks cleaned up this morning.
Anyone know how to hack these new push mowers for more RPMs?

Holy shit! You do all that with a push mower? Brother you need a Walker?
The steep parts with the push mower. I previously used a weedeater, but finally saved up enough coin for the pusher this year. ?
It's a good workout.
Tuck....I am astounded every time I see your pics of the pond and the spread. It's all beautiful. You could land a damn seaplane on that pond. Then, you mow all the way around the thing ? Good Lord, how long does that take ?
.
Ooh, tiny wheels and all.
I just file sharpen the shit out of the blade. Seems to do the trick with this St. Augustine grass.
Raise that bad boy up another inch

During the summer that property is a daily chore rodeo unless I miss my guess?
I suppose....go easy on her. At least she didn't light it before handing it to you. (but, can that be all that far off ?)
It's not that big. 3 acres. It takes maybe 3 hours in decent weather. Longer when I have to chew the air before I inhale it.Tuck....I am astounded every time I see your pics of the pond and the spread. It's all beautiful. You could land a damn seaplane on that pond.

When things are right I can mow the seven acres on the Ferris in about 2.5 to 3 hours.
It looks like you killed off the algae or whatever that was growing in your pond.
the second picture, is that a willow tree, holy moses waite till that matures there, perfection
Yes. Between the chemicals and the triploid carp that problem has abated. The carp have tripled in size, so I guess they're eating well.It looks like you killed off the algae or whatever that was growing in your pond.
Yes. There are two. One on either side of the drainage ditch. They grow fast!
I keep the lowest hanging branches trimmed because I hate them dragging across me while I'm mowing.
Got a little bit of play time in this afternoon.
