Not sure why this guy popped into my head this morning!

"The Devil made me do it!"

A beautiful sunny day here in the northeast!

We all will be gathering at my mom's house this afternoon to celebrate her 88th birthday! She is still doing well after all these years, thank the good Lord!

Hoping to get some garden stuff done before heading over there.

Y'all have a great day!

I'm not sure why, but this Olde Englishe saying springs (!) to mind:

Hurray, hurray, the First of May!
Outdoor sex beings today!

This presupposes the weather is conducive to such things, o'course...

I'm not sure the weather would make much difference if said participants were determined enough!
Well, that is unless it was really cold.........Then again, where there is a will, there is a way!

🎂HAPPY BIRTHDAY🎂 🧁RHODY'S MOM🧁​

 

[Rhody]

Thanks guys!

She has all the aches and pains that come with being on this earth for close to 9 decades, but she is still feisty and sharp as a tack! My sister decided that we would make it a Swedish take-out day so no one would have to cook!

It's always great to get the family together!

Long day yesterday, after a lazy start. Got over to the club the other side of Ft. Wort around noon in light and friendly traffic. It was seriously breezy the entire way. Temp was 81 under fair skies, RH was down to a nosebleed 24%, wind N 20 G 32. Shot four boxes at skeets while there w/a Beretta 686 'Essential' that was no side ribs and an auto-saftey that is on my list to get disconnected. Had two 'Comp-n-Choke' .005 constriction chokes fitted and was shooting 7/8 & 1 oz reloads of reclaimed shot. Kept forgetting [5 times!] to take the safety off and since the fields are set to run on members' Erad's [electric voice pulls w/number of targets purchased pre-loaded], I just called those targets 'lost' and kept on moving. Got an 18 on that first box. Followed that up w/a 20, 23 & 22 for 83% and was not unhappy, given my own stupidity w/the safety and the winds that were making the targets right spritely.

Was getting an appetite, time I finished shooting and decided to drive over to Defender and see what the place looked like since I knew they would have food trucks present to support the State NSCA shoot and my curiosity was piqued as well. I'd been sent detailed pre-shoot information by Travis Mears, the facility's owner and know a number of people who shoot there but had never been there myself. The layout was extensive and very well organized. I had no issues parking, but did get a quarter mile walk to the clubhouse and food truck pavilion. Ordered some Cajun-Asian Jambalaya spring rolls off of one of the food trucks for lunch just because it was different. They were surprisingly tasty! Hung around a while and visited w/some folks I knew who were getting some food. Then watched some 'Make a Break' being shot from near the clubhouse off of an elevated covered 5-stand platform. It was one of the several 'side games' made available to the shooters. Tickets were $13/round. Shooter had to buy two w/the money from one going into a daily 'pot' that was all returned to the shooter(s) 100% to the top score if less than ten shooting, or 60/40 for up to twenty or 50/30/20 for more w/ties dividing. Dunno how many played, but I watched a half dozen folks shoot it. The targets were very challenging and none that I watched got them all. The shooters were using two positions and had to switch halfway thru the round. It's a good 'pot' game. I could see the much of the grounds but not all as it's hilly and spread out around a large electrical transformer installation. Think in terms of a 96-hole golf course. You would have needed a cart or several hours to walk it all. That clay target shooting ranch is open to the public but also has various membership 'packages' available that can provide some savings if you are going to be shooting there a lot. I will probably go over there again and shoot their courses. A lot of what is there just this minute is extra to support the state shoot. There is a similar public w/some membership 'packages' place here, Elm Fork, where I sometimes shoot. That one also has rifle & pistol ranges. Their sporty clays and Super Sporting courses are generally good fun.

Took the long way home in moderately heavy traffic, stopping to top up the tank at $3.959/gal for '87' corn swill and then picked up an Rx and more grub for the larder. Station near the house was $3.869. Wouldn't ya just know it! We played some dominos, ate lite and retired early. Bride had been werking hard doing stuff, all day long.

This morning, I've realized that I got a lot more sun than I'd realized. No burn but an awareness and am already past pinking up but not tanned yet either. I've been monitoring the scores posted online. Have stuff to do around the house today. May or may not go to the club, later.

It's May already! Are all you pole dancers ready?!

Yesterday's NMU Commencement was a disappointment with poor lighting and way too crowded. Hard to find a red haired daughter that is shorter than the rest in a crowd of red heads. Who knew!

Did get a picture of the Partake Guy and his wife and a rather blurry high ISO shot of the dog with owner that covered the pups ears whenever clapping was involved. Very quick response time on the ear coverings. Mr Partake was in full uniform with his polyester suit from head to toe. Caught an unsuspecting D2 with an unaimed couple of shots from the lap held camera as well.

Finally made it to the lineup with a fella standing in front of me pacing while playing on his phone for a shot or two of D1 walking to accept her degree. Burned out and sore from bleacher seating we had a bite to eat and come back home sore and tired.

Green Croc wearing graduates were also a thing, oh brother!

Comfortable 47F, cloudy day on tap.
The plan is to go to the park (which park is the question) to see what we can see,,,

Very thankful that we have a wide variety of parks to choose from.

Times a'wasting - breakfast awaits..

Life in the great PNW ..

Are the pole dancers ready?

 

[jnyork]

You can always delete by going to "Edit" and just deleting the words you wrote.

You can then write something new or just say "deleted."

It was a nice sunny morning at 10am.But now at almost noon we have had it cloud up and Thunder storm.The first one of the day,guessers say there will be more all day long. Well it is a bit dry and the pollen needs to be washed out of the air, so thats good.Maybe I,ll work in the gun room.

Nice rifle. Beautiful stock.

Survived the stress test. Was home about 2 hours when alerted to the results. Tests indicated no problems whatsoever. About 5 hours of time and $19 for parking to confirm there's nothing to worry about. My primary sent me a message telling me she's pleased with the results, but wants to see me in a couple of months. My "couple of months" is going to be something like August or September.

Getting ready to hit the gun show this morning. No high expectations. Want to browse what's out there and to see how crazy the prices have gotten.

Hospital parking around here is anywhere from $5 to $12. Most doctors aren’t in hospitals and have their own offices usually with free parking. Go into the city and it’s a different story. My wife’s MS doctor is in the city so she pays to park. $25 I think, but if you want to see the better doctors, over the bridge you go. Hospital parking is a profit center, at least here in NJ.
Don’t feel bad, parking for me in the city yesterday for show and dinner was $62 for 9 hours in a garage. Street meter parking is $28 for 6 hours, but we needed more than 6 hours. Oh, and the bridge toll is $12.50 with my green EZPASS fob with the Prius.

That's not how I heard it.
