Got the trailer up to our new property. Nice to have it after the chores today. Cleaning out an old shed to get rid of mice and who knows what else. Opened up one dry wall panel and out poured the food stash: about 25 pounds of dog food, cheesits , and poop... wish I could just set a match to it.

Looks like you're set for some good weekends, Garry. As far as the wall, I don't know how a rat can do that much storing food without us being able to find their entry . I just opened one about 3-4 months ago that looks like a twin to the one you showed. ............ Jerry (in Tucson)

Scoop it up in a bowl. Looks like some good breakfast cereal makings!!
 
Been a good day. Me and the guys going elk hunting got together and shot our rifles. I lined my new gun up and ready to go. We'll do it again the end of the month. I love this gun. We kept the grandbaby since yesterday. He woke up at 6. I put him in the bed with me and he went back to sleep for about an hour. They just left. Been a real good day!

I didn't look to see if you posted this, but what gun and caliber are you using for your elk hunt. And what distance is it sighted for??........... Jerry (in Tucson)
 
Just bought a Browning Hells Canyon Speed in 7mm mag with a Leupold 4-12×40 scope. Sighted in at 200. We're gonna shoot again at the end of the month. We've got a target at 100, 200, 300 and 400. Later on I'll stretch it out and see what she'll do. On the farm I hunt, I can shoot out to about 12-1300. I won't shoot at an animal that far. I don't think it's fair to the animal if I hit just a little off and I lose it or it suffers.

I shoot a Remington 7mm mag. It's sighted in at 200 yds also. So far, 75 yards is the max I've ever pulled the trigger on. About 18-19 years ago while at the range sighting in for an upcoming hunt, I pulled the trigger on a target at the 500 yard line, and actually hit it.

Ninety one hits got you the expert badge in the Army. I got 90. Hated that sharpshooter badge knowing I was better than that. .

I'll wish you luck when you leave Virginia. ........... Jerry (in Tucson)
 
So we finally have power up here. To celebrate, the wife n I went kayaking at a lake down the road. I brought my little extendable pole to cast a few. I got 2 bluegill and a huge bass.
I didn't keep em though. I figured he lived to get that big, he should keep on keepin on. This way the fish gods will smile down on me. :good2:
Here they are....

what yardage are you on for zero Eric? My 7mm mag likes 200, puts me 2 inches high at 100, about 2 inches low at 300. All will kill if I can shoot straight under pressure.
 
After driving camp kids today, came home to a truck full of sugar maple. Some blistered. Wife and daughter got it from a neighbor who had a tree come down in the mess last Tuesday. Emptied the truck and loaded the mower to get a clients lawn done. Got there and harvested 2 six inch diameter puff mushrooms from the front lawn (where a European silver birch was removed 6 years ago). Mowed under street lights as it is dark by 8pm. Came home and cooked one up and the girl and me pounded it down...salt, garlic and butter. Was almost like cheese curds...
 
Is that early for puffball mushrooms in your area? I usually don't get any around here for another month or so.

No, last week of July they start showing up here. We had a small drought, but that 7 inches of rain last Tuesday has spurred lots of growth response. Picked a bunch of papinki mushrooms as well.
 
Started this morning with a dead modem/router. Looked like it was on but wasn't connecting. Called Comcast and their diagnostics wouldn't run so they declared it a dead modem. Since they own it, I have to go to their store at 11:00 to get a new one. Thankfully, I can drive a few miles and use another hotspot.
