I went downstairs to load up a bunch of 9mm for a buddy and the brass he bought wasn't tumbled. I should have looked in the boxes when I got it, oh well. Guess it will have to wait another day or so..
At least this snow we got is burning off fast. Wife completed this weeks 100 mile run/ruck this morning. She was out every 4 hours for the last 24 chewing up a big chunk of it. No thanks. |

I was supposed to work this morning but the job canceled. The weather was real shitty l so I just headed home. On my way I picked up a few hundred rounds of 9mm and .223 and then picked up my daughter from my wife's office.
The doors to the office are locked these days buy she still has to be there to do insurance things over the phone and computer. The Owner/Insurance Agent is real cool and is letting my daughter go to work with my wife. She can sit in a nice, quiet office space and do her homework with minimal distractions. We live 2 blocks away from her job, and they usually walk. Other than being at work she is at home with our daughter. Once my daughter and I got home we did some school stuff, and then I drilled and tapped a Mossberg 500 receiver with a #31 bit and a 6-48 NS tap; and put a rail on it. Oh, and we got our Rona Dollars today. |

Spent 1/2 of my CV dollars on a new shotgun, the other 1/2 went to a bill.

Nice. Nothing yet on my end...
I went and picked up some new LED lighting for the downstairs craft room / gun room. I had to remove the old panel lighting from the drop ceiling, which I absolutely hate. The dust, debris, etc goes everywhere and those damn panels never fit right in the first place. I ended up breaking a few during the install. They get hung up on the damn wiring, or the channel, or whatever. They crack and chip so easily. I so badly wanted to smash every one of them and walk away but that would negate the entire project.. It took me a few hours but the new lights are in and the tiles are all nice and new. If any of you ever need help with a drop ceiling DO NOT call me and I may bust into a fit of rage and smash all of them.... |

I'm curious, because when I was in the Army, I was part of a team that started training for the Nijmegen march (25miles/day for four days in full gear with 20something pound ruck). We were just over a month in, when we got told that they weren't going to sponsor any teams that year. |

Not much here to do. The big ransomware recovery is about done, so I am back down to more or less normal days and nights. Mostly. Need to change the oil in the truck. Itching for a MTB ride, maybe this weekend I can get one in. Might even go to the range. I have a mortorcycle riding course scheduled for the 8th.. so waiting to see if that is going to happen or not. So far the campground I was going to stay at is still open. The closed all of them here in L&C county the other day.

People are tired of getting cooped up. I saw something about the gov might be opening up the state in a couple weeks. We need to get people back to work and turn the economy around. |

Went into Costco today. No batch lines like last week. More people let inside than last week.
Fresh sea food back to normal levels. TONS of TP stacked in a couple isles. Really didn't see anything that was in short-supply but they did have a shorter list of things they didn't have. Elsewhere Cabelas was pretty picked over regarding ammo. In Wally World, like Costco, really didn't see anything that was in short-supply. TP was available. Got everything I was looking for. They need to start a staged re-opening of businesses in MT. |

I agree it's time. Open them up and have standards they have to meet just like the ones that are open now. Gyms could be open with lots of sanitary measures taken. "Social distancing" and maximum allowed people in restaurants, shops, stores, etc. |

Drove up to the cabin in Niehart to see how deep the snow was and if I could get in yet. Still 3' of snow,this coming weeks warm weather should put a dent in it but I suspect it will take a good two weeks of warm weather before it clears out enough to get in. Drove up to Showdown ski resort and watched 3 guys walk to the top of the mountain and come down on sleds. Several families sledding on the lower portion of the mountain and several people cross country skiing. The lodge was open serving carry out coffee,cocoa,beer and mixed drinks. They had a couple of the Ski patrol guys keeping a close eye on everyone in case anyone got hurt.

Have seen snow into July at the cabin. |

"Social distancing" and maximum allowed people in restaurants, shops, stores, etc. In my opinion, it shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all solution across the State. I don't get to make those decisions, so we will probably just end up with a state-wide plan. I did my tree trimming, yesterday. Thought about getting the mower set up, but most of the grass is still asleep. Got the shade trees fertilized, but realized i don't have enough fertilizer for both the wind break and the privacy hedge. So, a trip to GTF is in order this weekend, I guess. The last of my seeds are sprouting in the indoor garden. We'll be ready to transplant it out into the raised beds in about a month or so. |

I am in full small engine repair mode right now. I spend my days off from work, working on them. Yesterday I got off shift at 0700 and started working on them at 0900. Didn't stop until 1730. It was a long day. Good to be busy but damn sometimes it's a little much.

Last night a couple buddies and I loaded up and went out to a friends property for some night shooting/driving session. I got my NV in yesterday and wanted to check it out. We did some driving with IR lights, shooting, etc. It was pretty damn fun. I was trying to figure out how to take a picture while driving but I coudln't.

Built another 5lb propane bottle holder for the trailer.
 Attached File Attached FileI have a feeling we might see fire restrictions this year so I purchased a Little Red Campfire In A Can. This propane bottle will be dedicated for that. ETA. I have no idea why these photos are 90* off. |
