I can’t bitch. We really need rain… like torrential downpours. At least 40 days and 40 nights… the land round here is parched and has been for a long, long time. But… I wanna go camping and park my ass out at the gun club. The pup and I just got soaked yesterday.
I decided to go down to the Reclusium and start on the mountain of reloading I gotta do. I did about 100 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoore for Flapz… then 80 rounds of 223 for me…and started on 45 Long Colt. I got about 250 rounds of clean, primed brass ready to go but I’m right out of fricken boolits. Once I cast the boolits for them I’ll be outta lead! FFS! I need to do a serious bulk buy of hard cast… So far I’ve burned up a day and a half down there just getting cleaned up and prepped for major ammo production runs.
My trailer’s a friggin disgrace. I cleaned it out stem to stern, went through all my plunder and am slowly getting on top of that too. The power tongue Jack went out again and I gotta take it apart and see what’s going on in there because the manual backup is slow and tiresome. I’m finally getting along with my little Honda genny. Last year I ran it dry so no gunk built up in the carb. She fired up this year with a squirt of carb cleaner and has run like a charm so far. Yesterday I changed the oil in it but all I had was 40 weight. I dunked it in anyways. It gets damned hot in the summer and the little genny struggles with the trailer AC…so it should be okay with heavier oil I think.
Jeebus, I gotta get my ass in gear! Tomorrow is the summer solstice. FFS … time flies! The days start getting shorter after tomorrow. I don’t get it…? I’m slowing down. My morning dog walk and house chores take up at least 1/4 to 1/2 of my day. If I gotta do the lawn or the any other odd jobs… my day is shot and I’ve gotten basically nothing done! I’m going slow…but the time is flying fast…? Up Einstein’s and screw relativity too!!!
🤬
By the time I get my guns n’ gear in order the snow will fly and it’ll be time to put it all away for the winter!
The other day my age ambushed me again. My lower spine froze up from corrosion and crapulation and I was just buggered right up. I stretched and tried to work it out. I slammed three Tylenols. I persuaded my wife to go after it and massage it with Voltaren… and whatever it was just came loose today.
There’ll be no slacking off for me for awhile, I’m afraid. I’ve been letting a LOT of things slide…and it’s time to take charge and get back on top of them.
I hope you guys all are on top of your chores… and that you have a chance to relax this weekend.
Cheers!
