The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[patience0830]

I looked at chains for the Kubota, over $2K, not sure I wanted to invest that on something I will use rarely.

In that situation, I stick the bucket and use it to push or pull myself a little at a time. I do remember one time as a kid, we ice skated down the gravel drive.
Starling #2 is down. The other 3 will be back eventually.

it's a long way to the bottom at 10% grade.View attachment 179607

Looks much scarier than 10% on my treadmill.

 

[RustyHornet]

Home now. The gun store was open! Stopped in to fondle some things… Didn’t do any of that though….

 

[T-DOGG]

OK. Where to start.

This was hard to read and puts a very heavy weight on my heart. I don't even know where to begin my friend. You have always been like a brother and also like a father figure to me. You have been the foundation for the most tremendous group of people I've ever been blessed to be a part of. You have made me a better person, taught me things without even knowing it and have made our little place in this world better by just simply caring and being here. Thank you for being tolerant of my shenanigans over the years. I can only hope that other people in this world would be so fortunate to have a friend like you in their lives. Especially if that friend loves guns, because those are the best kind of friends.

No matter how much time you have left on this rock, take comfort knowing that we are all right here with you my dear friend. I love you and your wonderful wife too. Truly blessed by both of you great folks.

I wish I was that eloquent. I will admit it has brought tears to my eyes.

T-Dogg and MM have pretty much already said what I feel and much better than I could have said it.

I am truly humbled my friends.
Everything I/we did was just what seemed needed at the time. Everything. We were all lucky enough (with a couple of losses and casualty's) that we blended into this group of likeminded folks. As different as night and day yet with a bond that runs deep. My learning curve has been vertical for a while now from what you all put into our hobby/passion.
I hold you all, each and every one, in high regard.

Look to see you all at the SGE health permitting.
PM's going out soon.

Love the rifle my friend. Love it.

 

[patience0830]

Looking out from under the porch.
Still coming down like it means it.

 

[churchmouse]

That sounds disgusting.

I am in the very same boat. Little man Raine is my saving grace, and he is a beast.

Did you get the video of me shooting it at 300 yards on steel? My camera was showing the vapor trail pretty well.

Yes. It was impressive.

This is why I have hobbies… 3 girls and me in the house. I’ve coined the term “menstration vacation”… range trips, bike rides, garage time, cruising….

Just got back from a "short" jaunt to the local Kroger that's 3 minutes away. I have an AWD vehicle with great clearance, but it took a dog's age. Of course, I first had to help my neighbor who had gotten his truck stuck trying to get into his driveway. Also shoveled a couple drifts out of the way. My Mazda was a champ getting out, but I still had to take it very slow on the crappy roads. 1/2 a dozen items and a prescription in a bit over an hour. Not going out again unless I'm forced to!

 

[wtburnette]

Glad to see churchmouse on and posting though...

Not letting up...

You need to clear the snow from your gun turret and clear the ports as well. How would you defend the road as it is???

I have a cannon stationed behind the patio door.
