I hope to have some range photos to add this weekend. It all depends on whether or not my BCG arrives and I can find my charging handle.

The BCG came in today. I am going to use a cheap, ODG painted charging handle just to sight that rifle in. Going to try for tomorrow.

The closest stop sign (20+ miles) to my cabin in the Kalmiopsis wilderness of SW Oregon, miles from a non satellite telephone signal, or an FM radio/TV signal. Peace and quiet... well until I go out back and start burning up ammo, which is my preferred Memorial Day activity.

Well, my weekend is a bust. The charging handle I was gonna use on my kid’s rifle is missing the latch. So I ordered a new one. If I make it to the range tomorrow it will be to test fire three new revolvers.

Well, it rained on our parade so to speak, but that did not deter our outing. The rainy day brought out the welcomed and beautiful lupines.

Rain can’t really spoil a day like that, lupines blooming just make the whole outing even more memorable and special.

Super Trooper Today…,

 

[SuperTrooper]

Thank you! I don't have much experience with gold as we don't do jewelry, tattoos, or piercings (it's a religious thing) but I've often thought that all of the above was interesting, maybe even beautiful...on someone else. I will admit that I broke bad in 1976 and briefly wore a gold chain around my neck that my girlfriend had given me. Ha, she even took a Polaroid so I'd never forget.

Were you serious about the upgrade to gold? I'm still bronze it appears.

It usually takes awhile. Contact Alan if it doesn’t appear in the next day or two. It may upgrade at the start of the new month. But yeah you got Gold coming.

Ha! I told you ha ha! You are now…

And I am still….
