Ouch is right. What did you do?

Just dry skin???

What Sam said. Work is very dry, I just can't remember to put Corn Huskers Lotion on, but I will now.

Confession time. When I was younger, by a lot, I used to shoot my .22 at the farmers silo. I got pretty good at hitting it. And it's 400yrd away at least.

I always tried to hit the wind vane on top of Dad's barn. He was pissed when he noticed all of the .22 holes in the roof near the ridge where I had missed.

You were lobbing those in weren't you? Aiming at the top to hit it in the middle?

 

[chocktaw2]

Me too. I've never had to do it but I've heard shooting with glasses is a PITA.

Takes a moment to get used to.

Dad's are funny that way aren't they?

It can be, most of the time it is no worse than wearing safety glasses.

No, hitting the roof. Lobbing them in, yep.

Had my dads Mossberg with a 28" barrel for sure. That thing would shoot a long way out. Model 151, feed the magazine from a hole in the stock.

Yeah, but I did get away with one. Once I shot a squirrel in the tree in front of the house. Like a dumb ass I hit the power line leading to the house.
Lights flickered, but nothing happened. In a wind & lightning storm the next month, the powerline broke right where I had shot it, Dad blamed it on lightning.

You remember the blue glass balls on lighting rods years ago?

That stuff works better than anything else we have tried.

Good one Sam, us old farts can still get on!

Oh yeah, we just had plain rods, those Balls would have been shot out long before me.

We used to shoot birds off the power lines with pellet gun when I was in high school...threw the birds in the trees behind the house, not long til a family of racoons showed up and lived under the barn...whoops!

 

[chocktaw2]

Yes it does, I just need to remember to put it on.

Hello mom45

 

[SEIndSAM]

And those rods didn't do much good, ended up loosing that barn to a lightning strike 10 years ago.

I got an ass whooping over one of those balls. I only shot 1 of 4.

Go figure, reminds me of the movie Ghost.
