Best Of

If you posted earlier, sorry I missed it. I would have kicked in again. Is it too late?

Well done, congrats to all.

Sorry to hear about you not making it to the event. I hope you are getting better. I will send some more for you and Judy. We are on the road for the next three weeks but have a day here and there off so we will send it out soon.

It just dawned on me that I neglected to mention my club that puts up with us disrupting everything;

This was a pic taken from elevation near one corner of our main clays course. It shows our barn, clubhouse, 4 combo skeet/trap fields, and on the right an elevated enclosed 5 stand clays building. We also have a smaller upland clays course and a rifle/pistol range beyond those buildings. This time of year, it can be pretty busy place, so for them to shut down for most of a day to accommodate us is pretty generous! Bob

We had some start at two years old. Don

Or perhaps because I wasn't there. While I sat at home on two different courses of antibiotics, Keflex and doxycycline, my bride Judy and her volunteers ran our 15th Bust Em' cancer shoot today. I did a lot of the grunt work leading up to the event, but sure felt funny sitting at home while others did all the work today.🤒

We had about 15 more shooters than last year and a new company joined our sponsorship roles. Our goal every year is 10,000 and preliminary figures look like we just might hit $15,000 this year! One of our longtime club members called us a couple of days ago and asked if we could use 5 flats of shells for the shooters and then showed up with 6, and saved us almost $600 in expenses. Judy had a thank you sign to post at the sign up table, but he didn't want it posted. Several people just handed her $100 bills and walked away. She says the club looked good and all the shooters had a good time. Some folks have already committed items for our raffle and silent auction for next year, so I guess we are obligated to do it again next year, since things went so well perhaps I should stay home next year too!😁

SW0230, Greg and his wife Marie, sent us enough of his kettle corn to keep everyone happy except me. I sent the whole box over with Judy and there weren't any leftovers for her to bring home! Thanks again, Greg and Marie! Bob

Don't step on them chestnut hulls barefooted.

My dad was born in 1899. Before the chestnut blight, he said walking in the woods was like walking on marbles. In the Fall, they would turn the hogs out to fatten up on chestnuts.

He looks tasty. Not real old looking so he will be tender. Buy the tag.

Started the day with a short in the electric fence. Fixed that and noted the pasture was getting short.

Repaired a stock water tank valve that I'd noticed leaking a couple days ago.

Son showed up and we ran 4000# of rye through the seed cleaning process, weighed and loaded it into bulk seed boxes for a customer to pickup next week. Put all the stuff back inside and stacked the filled seed boxes in the shed.

Younger Son and his wife showed up to pick up some parts for his Ford 3000 that he's restoring and stayed for lunch. After they left, we moved the goats to a different pasture and got the hot wire working.

Worked on the combine for a while and then Son had to return home to meet a dog buyer and honestly, I'm about pooped out but still have evening chores left to do.😁

If you have some time to kill sit and watch him catch fish. It's quite a show!
