Getting close, is it not? Good thing, too.
Good luck to the group with any
- timber still to be cut,
- hedgehogs still to be combed,
- painted walls still to be watched drying,
- a sockdrawers left in need of rearrangement.
The days are packed.

If you can work your way over to 83 it goes the whole way and is good road.... That is kinda what Im thinking. But I think I will take 35 to OK City and then head down to Witchita Falls and then Abilene Tx to catch 83 instead of going all the way to Oakley Kansas and then cutting South. Should be a better trip than going thru Dallas Austin and San Antonio. Might as well see some different Country ive done the I-35 route many times. That sounds good. I avoid I-35 like the plague...you'll like 83.

I got a chuckle out of the ferrari bit and Bobby wanting one for each of you. We need to turn this in to a campfire Cannon Ball run. Me and Jr. will snag a Bambulance and turn the woo woos on from the Bluegrass to the Lonestar state.
If we could just find the equivalent of Farrah to ride in the back... Forget that! Get Raquel Welch to ride in the back! Course, Bill Cosby has already 'medicated' her and........ ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/jugs_zpsblbz1qks.jpg)

My fancy .223 Ruger is annoying me. Swapped a scope. Shoots patterns with 75 gr Amax, like the last scope. Checked weight and concentricity of loaded rounds, and they are fine. 55 TTSX are better, maybe 1.5" at 100, with 4 in less than an inch. I'll try bedding the forend, and different bullets, to see if I can get it settled down. Too bad about the #1 I was gonna bring mine in the deuce but the only scope I could get to fit on it has marginal eye relief...not good in the dark. It shoots great, but it don't shoot in quite enough of a hurry.... Gonna be a more utilitarian gun in the blind....

If I wasn't hauling three others, one that is near giant, I'd join you on the run in my little toy.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa437/boxhead61/image13_zps01b8bd1d.jpg)

On another note my 7mm Mag shot a 3 shot group today that measured .300 outside of hole to outside of hole. Ill post a pic tomorrow. Faux Ti put a 50 gr tsx into the same hole as the 50 gr vmax so my varmint and pig load shoots to the same P.O.A. which is kinda handy. Savage 99 and Tikka 25-06 are getting rung out in the morning. Hell I pizz blood when I rattle off multiples of three at an inch and a half with my big critter rifles. I lied guys It wasnt .300 it was .400 I apoligize:) [img:center] ![[Linked Image]](http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/cheez1970/Mobile%20Uploads/KIMG0038_zpsnxclv3b4.jpg) [/img] Here is the 25-06 tikka this am it is 20-30 mile an hour gusts out there so precision couldnt be had. [img:center] ![[Linked Image]](http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy171/cheez1970/Mobile%20Uploads/KIMG0039_zpsfzo9ornu.jpg) [/img] And finally the Faux Ti .223 Varmint load/pigload touching.

Sorry Carl but there is a fairly long line of folks ahead of you. That little gun is amazing. Im no Stunt shooter but I have made some shots with that little gun that I still cant believe. Any misses out of this gun aint the guns fault.
