    On a lighter note, the dual rod 4x4 shifter that was on the married C6/205 transfer case was basically useless for the Dana 24 I'm using. So, I dismantled it and began welding up a more simple 4L-N-2H-4H lever using 3/16 plate steel and some 3/8's inch solid rod. I'm gonna have to just make the damn thing.

    Nothing sends you to fabrication 101 faster than shit like this.

    I like having a valid excuse to buy new tools.

    Went to the range, took different smaller bag that I am setting up because the Midway bag is stupid heavy. Forgot the paper targets.
    ¥*÷!×$₩£¥¥!!!!!!!!!!
    Found used target, some 22lr shells and made the best of it, pinned the target with the shells.

    Shot 50 thru my glock, and all shots group 1" left and a bit low, at 7 yards. Wondering if its me or I need to drift the sights a bit. Don't care about low for now as WWB is practice fodder.

    Didn't shoot my new rifle, there were 2 guys on the 100 yard and I didn't want to be the idiot without targets.
    Bought a new stapler on way back for the new range bag.

    Starting to hate the Vortex Pro tings. The ring to base screw is too sharp and draws blood very time. Vortex says the screws don't come off. Might be too late to return them, so may have to sell at a loss. Crud.

    Sorry to hear that you had a bad outing of sorts, Erni.

    I hope that your next one is a lot more gooder. I had an opportunity to do some private range shooting tomorrow, however I can't be gone from here long enough to take advantage of it unfortunately. Much too long of a drive to make it work.

    I might be able to get some work done on the truck before noon, but have to be back home by then. Better luck next time, Sir.

    Sounds like your truck is coming along.

    I spent about 5 hours on my Suburban today. Oil change, tire rotation, fixed the cowl air intake which was loose, and still needs two $8 clips! Checked the trans fluid. Took out and replaced 1/2 quart of dirty power steering fluid, may do it again. Tried to grease some zirks but my grease gun fitting sucks, bought a replacement and will fit it on later. The oil filter was rusty which made me go huh, but I did the last oil change in late 2016, 4k miles ago. The truck is at 99,970 right now so it is hitting the magic 100k where a bunch of things need work. Still need a new sensor, diffs oil, transfer case oil, trans fluid. I also need front suspension work because the tires are wearing funny. I think I will pay for the front end work and trans fluid change. Something changed today when I worked on the car - it didn't feel fun today.

    Hope you have better luck with your range trip next time.

    Give your Suburban the love that it needs, brother. It will pay off in the long run.

    I would have liked to head out to Roggen tomorrow for some zombie acquisition and eradication practice, dang it.
