Morning all.

Coffee has been drunk, cereal has been eaten, laundry has been...almost packed.   We don't leave until noon, so there's a few more hours for packing.  Plus, it's only 45 minutes away. 

On a side note, turkeys look really strange when they're wet.

My oops was just a little compared to the one the paper made.  They used the word thousand instead of hundred in the count of registered cars!  They printed a correction in today's paper.  I was beginning to wonder where they could park 57 thousand cars around here.

[Good Troy]

Hot today, followed by more heat with a sprinkle of even more heat.

Be careful how far you dig into the family history, my Great Great Grandparents, Mom's Mom's Grand Parents, from an article in the Tecumseh Chieftain, (Nebraska) 

[Silver Creek Slim]

Was Ish a General or just called that?

Slim

[Delmonico]

Just Called that, he was from Tennessee and they like Generals, Kentucky likes Colonels.

He moved to Nebraska before 1859, have not tracked down exact date.  Nebraska was opened for settlement in May of 1854.

Went out to take the wheels off the bush hog to replace the tires, but bees came swarming out from under it. Bullet got stung at least twice.
The bald face hornet nest I shot that is hanging from a tree in the dooryard a few week ago still had activity, So, I shot it to bits this time. Bullet got too close and got stung again. He might learn to come sooner when I call from this experience.

Afternoon y'all.

Everyone is getting ready for the fair here. I have to trim horse hooves in the next couple days.

Night pot on, gents.

I have returned from my fair journey battered, bruised and covered in animal parts.  The turkeys sold at auction for $20/lb (26.5 pound birds ), and my sister's rabbits went for $65/lb!      10 pounds of rabbit.  I don't care who you are, that's an expensive cut of meat.

My sister took first place in turkey showmanship for her division, and my brother took small animal round robin for his division.  So that adds two saucer-sized belt buckles to the whole thing.   

And, to cap things off, I spent five hours processing 30 turkeys, 18 chickens, and 12 rabbits.   

One other interesting anecdote here.  Our fair is a terminal fair, so all auctioned animals show up to the buyers nicely packaged in paper or shrink wrap, no exceptions.  Anyway, a fellow bids up on the grand champion rabbit pen, took it up to $55/lb, then when he went back to get the bill, the seller asked him if he wanted the meat frozen or fresh.  He said he wanted them live, but that isn't allowed.  So this guy gets into it with one of the auctioneers, and just walks off.  So the grand champion rabbits were left hanging at the end of the auction.  Fortunately, the FFA director for the county stepped up and took them at that price.

Got the Garand sighted in at 50 yds. I'll have to see what it does at 100 yds when it is less warm.

I have some AMA (Danish) .30-06 brass that I am trying to decap. Trying with a decapping die but having no luck. Any thoughts or experience?
