Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What the hell are you doing this weekend??

Liquidating a massive warehouse in Midlothian, VA...







Carpentry shop... with the machine shop in the back...



Probably.

I gotta go get diesel in the morning after I fill all my equipment up, then pay for a whole chitload of steel I bought at an estate sale....

Bunch of angle iron up to 4", pipe from 2 3/8 up to 4", lots of I beam, etc. It'll probably be more than I can get in 2 trailer loads on my 20' heavy equipment trailer...

Gonna have to take my skid steer and pallet forks over there just to load it all.

Gave them $200 for the lot.

You need some steel David? Come get some. I'll never use it all. Ever. Not with me just doing ranch welding and small jobs. I don't fabricate like I used to.


Then in the afternoon, I have to attend the Republican convention for the county to relay my delegates for the state convention.

Going to a big gun show with a couple of buddy's, and lunch Saturday, spend Sunday with the wife!

Fixing the backstop at the range and:

Clearing old fence row for new fence for the cows. Keeping wood for heating.

Wife says grass is out of control, I should mow. HA HA. I don't mow on weekends or Monday's .

If the first mow of the year clumps & windrows,,, so be it.

Otherwise, load shells, drink beer, watch Gunsmoke.

Headed to deer camp early tomorrow to help work on finishing the new cabin. After working all day tomorrow I will probably rest on Sunday.

Shoveling snow if the weather mans is correct!

How much they predicting for you folks?

Little to no accumulation here they say. Probably get dumped on instead.

Eating seafood, drinking beer and pissing off commies.

Looks like I'll be taking the pup out to do his business in the pouring rain for the umpteenth time this year.
We don't have passing showers any more, we get pounded for hours.

I think I'm growing gills.

Did some climbing and hiking on Wednesday, Thursday, and today. I’ll do more climbing and hiking tomorrow. Sunday I’ll go back to work for three consecutive 12 hour shifts in the ER.

Groceries, oil change, ak range time with the wife. Life’s good!

That's nice
Triggered a hot grease and sliced onion smell
in my brain just looking at the picture

I’m taking my wife up to Lopez Island in the San Juan islands for a couple nights. My buddy and his wife are up from Arizona and they have a beautiful big log cabin on the water. The whales are showing up around our island here so they should be getting common again in the San Juan’s. We’re going to do a lot of relaxing and catching up with great friends.

I have a 2017. I feel your pain. Crazy how they buried that battery. Especially when there is a perfectly good spot for it on the drivers side where they have a place for an auxiliary battery. Its probably not that hard to swap out the battery if you have done 50 of them but the first time is a real pain especially if your somewhere other than next to your tool box.

Getting packed up and my truck ready for my Easter trip. I’m driving from SWFL to North Carolina then after easter driving over to my cabin in Alabama to grab my generator and get mothballed for the summer. Then back down to SWFL for the long summer.

Weather dictates when I take my weekends these days. I try to get down to the farm once a week, but last week the weekend started on Tuesday, and it will probably start on Sunday this week. It'll be 47 today, but 68F on Monday.

Until I leave, I'm working in the Shamanic Secret Underground Reloading Facility. I am getting ready to run 44 Mag on the Hornady LNL Auto-Progressive. I also had a RCBS Lube-a-matic fall into my lap, and I'm getting the bench ready to accept it. If it gets warm enough, I may cast some 44 SWCs.

I've been dickin' around with cast bullets for 15 years, and I've tried tumble lubing and pan lubing and finally decided that they create more mess than success. My goal right now is to come up with a suitable cast load for taking a deer with my new Rossi model 92.

Replacing a pump in a stock water well.
