I'd go to therapy, but I'm too busy cleaning and fretting over everyone who is not cleaning.Cheesy

I'm actually pretty dang happy myself now that I think of it. I shot my new to me High Standard in it's very first match at the "Support your local gun club" shoot em up and shot me a 292 out of 300.

97 yes,,,97 slow fire at 50 yards. We shot 2 relays, second one was a measly 287 Tongue

So it turns out I won both matches and there was PRIZE MONEY!! I donated it to the club. I'm too damn nice...

Not only am I not cleaning, I'm not even fixing my lawn mower, which I should probably do because my grass is about 4" long. Not that that's cause for alarm out here in hickville, but I'm sure if I had a HOA, they'd have their knickers in a knot.

What I am doing is sitting on my tookus drinking apple juice because I've shot entirely too many rounds of 12 gauge this.

Northerners get all excited about a clean house?  Southerners don't?  What, are you from Maine?

The downstairs of our house, which is under the jurisdiction of my wife, is very clean.

The upstairs bedroom and this computer room, which are my province, look like a college dorm room. Even worse.

I actually mowed the lawn today (neener, Barbara) for the first time in a couple of weeks. It was so long that the blades of grass were lying down.

I'm the scourge of my household, and of the neighborhood. Wink

Barbara, you have sent me into a deep blue funk.  I cleaned my office's bathrooms (again) to cheer myself up.

*shudder* There is unmown grass somewhere north of the Mason-Dixon line.  I may not sleep tonight.

El Tejon-

Exposure to dust, dirt and germs allows one's immune system to build anti-bodies in order to keep the body healthy.

Barbara-
If'n you'd get a 28 ga, you could shoot more rounds, hard hitting rounds I shall add, with less felt recoil - allowing more energy to unwrap candy bar wrappers.
Oh, 28 ga is just flat senusual or cute...depending on mood.

Monkeleg-
Some lost classics , traditions, skills and talents should always be preserved , cherished and passed forward.

Mom-
I did both your bathrooms, vacummed all carpets, mopped all lineoleum, cleaned the hardward floors, all ceiling fans , cleaned the  rest of the blinds in the house not finished last week, cleaned and installed new filter in Oreck clean air purifier, sprayed off all windows outside, sprayed off front and back porches, swept out the garage,  did two loads of clothes you can't do yourself, and folded/ put up everything dried in dryer, the rest of the stuff is hanging dry (I like the new salmon top that came in btw) , changed the sheets on your bed, and I replaced not only the light out in the ceiling that went out , I also replaced the other one as both of those florencent bulbs were put in , in May of 2002 [I dated these, and converted to florencent because mom , at her age and physical condition has no business being on a step stool ] and oh I even cleaned the fridge of your Limeade and leftover homemade Fruit Salad. [burp - yummy].


Me-
World War Five must have ocurred in my backpack. If anyone see's a Flashdrive with laynard holler - I need it.

sm, I dunno about 28 gauge.

The class yesterday was a defensive shotgun class, so we should around 300 rounds, mostly bird shot, but also slugs and buck shot. I used a 12 gauge pump. Then I shot a round of skeet using a 20 gauge, just for fun. Earlier in the week, I did a couple of rounds of trap with a 12 gauge.

Actually, my shoulder is/was fine. My other arm was pretty numb by the end of the day but I'm good today. Just dont' feel like mowing the lawn. Smiley

I mowed my backyard because I almost lost my daughter this morning.  I painted the garage door and trim because my HOA was unhappy about it.  Sorry folks, it's been a busy summer and I haven't had time to jump on that until this weekend. Smiley

At least the El T's of the world will be satisfied. Tongue

Barbara,

As you know I assist folks, mostly ladies and kids.

I start with 28 ga.

Yes we use 28 ga for defensive shooting.  Some folks are smaller and some are teenagers. I also have some Physically Limited.

Yes they do shoot 100s of rounds, Yes they also shoot 28 ga buckshot and slugs.

Correct Basic Fundamentals with a 28ga, no biggie  to transition to 20 being as that is the serious shotgun for some, 12 for others.

Detached Retina for one - and limited to nothing no bigger than 28 ga for a bit still ( also a bit gun shy still)


Still think a great idea  is to pave the yard, paint it green and put out silk flowers.  Allows time to go shoot, and not do yardwork.

We haven't mowed the yard - nor pulled a single weed - in 11 years!

Okay, so the mule deer and elk do a tidy enough job of it; still. . .

More often than not, I do manage to sweep the house with a glance - I don't know if that counts?

I used to be compulsive about it, as Scandinavians typically are.  It drove Kathryn nearly 'round the bend.

So I took up writing. . .

Oh, brother, Shark Man!  Last winter he had a World War I reenactment going on in his front yard with trenches and boards in the mud to walk on.  It was horrible.  Dan Flory had to hold me while I cried uncontrollably on the davenport.

Fortunately a relative has moved in and helped clean up the place.  No more WWI, no more sharks, no more giants holes in his backyard.
