This and That

Yeah, I know, haven't posted much of late.  Been busy as all hell.

Been trying to build a deck when I have the time.  The structure is done and the boards installed, so it's useable but the side of the framing isn't covered, nor the railing built.

The crew arrived today and started replacing the gutters.  They'll be back Monday to finish the gutters, install the new bathroom window and build the roof over the deck.

Last weekend was our annual trip to Hell . .. . . Michigan.  Our 2 day, all day continuous play paintball game was great, at least the second day.  The first day was too one sided to be of much fun.  Contrary to popular belief, being on the winning side of a lopsided victory doesn't have much to offer.  I'm a bit concerned about the longevity of that big game.  When I first went there, maybe 12 years ago there were about 1500 players.  There were about 700, I guess, last weekend.

The Boss has schedules another surgery, this time on her left knee.  She's having a scope job to repair the meniscus.  It'll take 8-12 weeks to heal, according to the surgeon.

Been trying to get to the range for weeks, but so far no joy.  I did manage to load up a box of lighter loads for the Rossi lever action 454.  The first time out a pin worked lose causing the bolt to lock up.  I think I fixed that, but only recoil will prove that.

Thought that at my age, life would get more simple and relaxed.  Sure isn't true for me anyway.  Kinda petty huh. Considering the world as a whole is all screwed up.  Evil is spreading through the world with nobody willing to stand against it.  And right here at home, there's not a federal agency worth a shit, and we have the most inept president in my lifetime.  This guy is so bad, I'm beginning to wish for Carter.
