What are you doing right now??

We’re in Madera, CA staying with the husband’s people for a couple of days. It’s beautiful here. His nephew is going to take us on a tour of the “farm”. He grows almonds, tomatoes and grapes for Sun Maid raisins. Might go for a wine tasting later. Last night when we arrived we had pizza cooked in an outdoor wood oven.

If it wasn’t for the politics, I could live here. 😎

Enjoy the food and wine. Those parts aren’t total Democrat bastions, yet … nice area of CA
 
Watched a water spout form. Floridian term for F0 tornado in Texas 🤠😁😉😝

Went chootin, started out kinda bad, i got there and stepped off 75 good steps got everything setup. thought i'd use a sled to sight it in and see what it can do.

So i pull the charging handle back and line up everything and click, no boom. i wait a few seconds and then look and i can see the bolt is not fully closed. well i can't pull the charging handle back cause it's stuck good. i try a couple light mortars, didn't want to trash my scope. nope. didn't work.

I then separate the halves and pry the bolt back and that done it. so i tried another and it done the same, didn't get stuck as bad though. so i'm thinkin is this a 6.8 barrel. so i walk back across the street and get a chamber brush and bring back and brush it out real good. then i try it and bingo it seated. never done it again. guess it has some grease in it or something.

So then i'm ready to target shoot, took about 5 rounds to hit that little black dot. then i fired 4 more and it put em in one hole. I also put some goggles on in case it blew up.

Then i took it down the trail a bit and tried out the FRT with ten rounds. oh man what fun, then i came back and moved the target up to about 50 yards and shot some more and even tried the frt on it for a short. still done pretty good.

Blame the flyer on the 'skeeter! That's priceless! :LOL: But still, nice work. I wish I could walk across the street and go shootin'. Well, I probably could, but I'd get in a LOT of trouble. ;)


Thank you for your indulgence,

Many Northern and Inland counties are downright hospitable. It's the coastal elites that are ruining the state.

Anyway, it looks like you are having a fabulous time. Please let us continue vicariously. ;)

Hi,

I'm glad to see everyone enjoying their weekend, projects, vacations, rememberences, etc. Yesterday after church the family came over for our festivities.
