Morning, looks like the worst of the storms has blown through. Gonna be a great day.
Jeez, I am not awake yet.
Yall have a good time. I wish I could have made it. I have my two little grandson's this weekend and they just don't travel well. Well that isn't exactly true. I don't travel well with them:')
I have just returned from my outdoor range, lighter by 200rnds of 7.62x39 and 250rnds of .22LR.
Amazing how fast you can kill a brick of .22 when you have five Butler Creek 25rnd magazines. The 10-22 remains my favorite "warmer-upper" for a day of target-practice - lets me get the desire for rapid-fire out of my system before switching to the serious ammunition, and gently reminds my body of correct ergonomics and posture.
perfect weather for it - clear and dry and cool in the morning, yesterday's rains having washed the pollen and dust out of the air and dropped the temperature down to what this transplanted Yankee thinks of as ideal.
my shoulder is pleasantly sore. no "dope-rings" this time. I smell of cordite and crushed grass and red clay.
The day's lesson: I really need to practice rapid and reliable magazine-changing on my bull-pup AK... despite using it for some years now, I am still not quite adept at that hook-and-pivot business. the one flaw in the AK design, IMO.
time to break 'em down and clean 'em. a bit early yet for a beer.
hope y'all are having a great time of it.
