Slow Learner

Apparently I'm a slow learner.  It just occurred to me why The Wannabe kept Biden as VP during the last election.  The Wannabe is safe because Biden would be worse.

Touchy Shoulder

Got to the range yesterday for about an hour. It's been . . . . well . .  a long time.  Surprisingly, even my weak hand shooting wasn't as bad as I expected.  Tried some Redhawk 454 rounds at 200 yards.  Now that was pathetic.

Did OK with the Ishapore and 454 lever gun.  I must have held one of them wrong, because my shoulder is a bit touchy.  The 454 lever cranker has more recoil than the 308 Ishy.  For extended shooting, it could use a better recoil pad, especially when launching 300 grain bullets.

Damn Horse

The Boss is still limping from her knee surgery, combined with her bum back, and the granddaughter has been poor at taking care of the horse.  Spread over several days this last week I dug and hauled 16 loads of packed horse crap using a wheel barrow from the stall.

The horse is a small mare that today was in heat.  And she sure was bitchy.  With help I managed to clean packed crap out of her hooves.  Three cleaned well and the fourth sort of clean.  I was once told that a horse can't kick sideways.  That little mare managed to do it anyway.  She pulled her leg from my grasp, kicked to the side and caught me on the side of the knee, shoving me into the near wall.  Glad I didn't have much weight on that leg at the time. Nothing but a bruise, thankfully.

IF WE EVER GET ANOTHER HORSE, IT WILL NOT BE A MARE.
