I'll be starting to lay down my new floor today sometime, not being to bed by 4:00 am thus far will delay my start time somewhat, but it will get started none the less.

Finally got home around 3 pm. It's good to be back. Except the part where a rabbit somehow got into my garden and ate everything. Fuck. I'm going to buy a pellet gun tomorrow. That was months worth of progress, mowed to the ground.

ETA:
Here's my garden now, btw... I don't even know how the fucker got the beans and peas off the trellises. He left the tomatoes (in the back) and the onions alone, but completely ate all the beans and peas, along with about half of the pepper plants (and peppers? wtf?) and strawberries.

Back east we had a nice garden. pepper plants bountiful. Only thing was, they were disappearing like crazy. Figured the squirrels were raiding in the morning. Looked out one day, there's our dog, munching away on a few she pulled off the plant.

Aww man, I just recreated the Mk316 Mod 0 ammo.

Lapua brass, Win LR primers, IMR 4064, 175gr Sierra MatchKing, 41.7gr yielded a 5 round group in 0.712" at 100yds at 2580 FPS with standard deviation at 8.56 FPS.

A charge of 41.6gr gave 6 FPS std dev, and 41.8gr yielded 8.02 FPS. It's possible that with 41.745gr I'd have a lower standard deviation). Will post picture after I clean up.

The method of shooting was 1 of charge 1, 1 of charge 2, 1 of charge 3, 1 of charge 4, 1 of charge 5, end of string and repeat for the remaining 4 strings. All shot over roughly 30-40min.

BC, I got a new toy that you would appreciate:



Now I need to get a 5mm lens for it so I can really reach out there.

Ooh, very nice telescope!! Plan to do some astrophotography or just naked eye stuff?

BTW, BC, is this where you work in Chile?

Well, that guy is from LCO. Here's a better pic of his that actually shows my telescope. It's the one closer to the center.

Or maybe thats WHY he bought the telescope, so he can still get into the YMCA...

Hopefully some photography, but my "helpful" brother sent me a mount for canon. I shoot with nikon.

I can get an effective magnification of 360x with this thing... Spying on somebody's bedroom window from a mile away would be child's play.
