Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada How are you keeping busy with the isolation thing happening?

Getting the new place in Lethbridge sorted, babysitting my granddaughter, reloading, playing cribbage with the boss lady, staying fit, hiking in the coulees and picking up ticks, shooting gophers, working on a old push feed model 70 that was dump bound.

I will hopefully take the old M70 and turn it into something useful, perhaps even something useful and accurate.

Take care all.

Steve, chainsaws and gloves are like lawyers and matrimony. Table saws are a different deal. Fist is crude and barbaric, the latter is precision surgery. I do stuff with a table saw they don't teach in school.

Interesting thread. Thanks for starting this Steve and nice job on the floor.

I have a routine down -- start the day by putting up pictures of travel, wildlife, flowers etc for a group of FB friends to keep them cheered up and seeing something different to start the day. Typically they would be theme based which means I get to sort through the digital albums and relieve some great days in the field or trips with my wife. I find this one little add helping a number of friends that suffer depression -- so it is a way of helping others.

Then I try to get a 10 Km walk in with my dogs before starting on some type of home project. Pressure wash the house, build planters, wash the cars --- anything to keep me busy as our gun ranges and fishing access has been shut down (announced this week as soon to open). The weather has improved so some retriever training (maintenance) is on-going but I have to be careful as we have no access areas and dogs mandatory on leash due to Covid. Generally time does not drag on.

Floor looks good. I built a new BBQ pit, I’m working on deer lease things now. Wifey is working from home, so I’m stepping light, trying to stay out of the way.
