I let over 3K go out last year to help out. Some other ingo members donated to me as well. I distributed a butt load of .22LR last year. Just down to what I think we will shoot this year.

Opened a box at work with a new Draeger Carbon Monoxide detector.
Shiny.

Yay, the wife got her phone back from LG. It took a dunk when she fell into the river a few weeks back.

She has been using crappy old Verizon phones that we had used in the past. All of them are old, worn out aand not working correctly.

Remington 788 stock. Was a nasty blond color. This is 4 coats into the process. 1st coat Provincial #211...followed up by 3 sanded coats of Tung oil.
I think 2 or 3 more and I will be there.

Oh yeah, she never had a smartphone until late last year. Now she is hooked. Been using the crappy old "dumb phones" for the past 3 weeks and was not a happy camper.

Let's just hope that it doesn't take a bath again.

I saw her in another photo posted recently and chuckled. It looks like something in my husband's man cave. His "fishing" calendar is always interesting as each new month allows him to go to the next page/photo.
