Went to a match today, last match of the year for this club, I was happy with my shooting, clean match and decent times on the stages. Weather was just about perfect. How was all Y'alls weekend?
-
How was my weekend? Well, we finished picking up irrigation pipe at my wife's family's farm, celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday, had supper with a missionary to Ukraine for the last 28 or so years and his Ukrainian wife, took a bunch of refreshments to church that my wife baked, and went to a visitation. That was my 48 hours plus a few. Welcome October! Hopefully the weather cools off again soon.
-
Church today, still running in the upper 90s here, supposed to cool off mid-week, that will be welcome! Our hummingbird feeder outside the kitchen window has been very popular lately, we have counted about 10 different birds out there regularly. Had a nice little Bond Arms derringer come into the shop the other day, so I put it on layaway. A bit curious what shooting 45 Colt out of the little beast will be like.

It will be uncomfortable is my guess . . .
I had one in .38spcl and it was uncomfortable firing for me. :(
BUT, mine wasn't a Bond.

Deacon KC, I have a Bond with .357 Mag and .45 Colt/.410 3inch shotshell, they aren't that bad with standard loads. The .357 is snappy, but the other is a pussy cat, Big fireball with the .410 due to the short barrel.

Morning all.
Been a busy month. Spent the entirety of September out of town on fires, first the Smith River and then the Happy Camp. The paycheck was nice, the sleeping in a leaky tent during a week of rain was not.
On todays agenda, I’m going down the valley to pick up a horse trailer for Mrs TK, and then packing my bags for a week in MT for Uncle Sam.
Y’all keep dry out there.

Been awhile since I have checked in. Spent most all of September in the icu or in a rehab. Unit. Been home since the first. Still trying to recover. The hospital tried their best to kill me, I fought back.

Hard for me to keep up with you all. I have troubles staying focused. Anyhow you all keep it between the ditches and your powder dry.

Good to see you check in Roo....
