With our kids divided right now between Ft Sill and Ft Bliss its going to be an off Christmas for us....dinner with my sister and her family on the 23rd...dinner at Lisa's folks for us n them on the 24th. Christmas Day it's just us so we are hosting an "Orphan's Christmas" for some of the empty nesters around the neighborhood we know. I'm cooking a prime rib and a turkey in the smokehouse...so hopefully no one gets poisoned.
Outside of various female appreciation sundries...I've got Mama a new shooting iron. Going to try to get her into an Encore in .243. 12 yrs ago I practically destroyed a Ruger #1 trying to get it to fit her. She's only 5'0...so she has no reach....and she's all...ahem...chest so that shortens her reach even more so I am trying again. I've re pitched the butt and bobbed the barrel to 20". If in the end it doesn't work out I guess I'll have yet another truck/tractor gun.

Hope everyone's Chrismas Season progresses nicely,

Scott n Lisa


We eat organic in our house, we just have to shoot and gut it first.....
