Well, heck. Nice to see everyone out having a good time!
Too much going on in my life: Normal busy spring yard work. I couldn’t get what I needed to start taxes until 3 days to the deadline, and then I had to go back and amend 4 past returns b/c I discovered that I screwed those up. 3/29 started urgent job of replacing all the motor mounts on my wife’s car, which went fine. Then I found where it was leaking a bit of oil from the valve cover, so I might as well fix that while I’m at it…
…22 days later still at it, old brittle parts doing me no favors. Sleeping dogs are best to left lie. Quit in the garage last night at 2 AM after a clean 20-min test drive, hopefully the last
I did try and hand it off to the mechanic at one point and they quoted 1k. Wife has my truck and I’ve been commuting on my bicycle.
Then there’s my bow. Decided to tinker around just before turkey opener - shortened draw length 1/2”, crank up the lbs, new sight. This AM after 2 hrs sleep I’m out to the shooting range. Decided on 2 pins, 20 and 35. Five yd at zero, 10 yd 1” high, 15 yd 2” high, and 25-30 yds shoot the gap between the pins. Topped off w/ a short trip beneath the dam where something big zipped off my line and hung me up on the rocks
Tomorrow I’m GOING to hunt!
