Just a whiff.....

Got the Keurig fired up. It's a granddaughter transport day. The pantry cabinets are done and in my daughter's garage, will start installing them Wednesday. Will make a Lowes run and do some plumbing here today, a good day to be working indoors. Hope y'all have a great start to your week.

Looks like we get a repeat tomorrow

I admire that man. I read his book, he lifted himself up, and he is wicked smart.

Watching an AWSOME line of T Storms roll over us for the last couple hours. Quite the light and percussion show. The creek is going to overflow into the lake. ZEUS is working his hammer. This is a real toad strangler. Mother Nature is flexing her muscles over my house.

Re. Bassbob is right. Zero at 15. Finding the dot is easier with proper presentation of the pistol. Bring the gun up to eyelevel, don't crouch or bend your neck down to see the dot (turtle). Inside of 5 yards, forget the dot, just put the target in the "window" and shoot. Practice one shot...
