The CZickness XLVI...What's next my friends.

[Born2vette]

Come, man. Tell us what you saw!

It starts with C and ends with Z but as my stolen en route pcr taught me it ain't mine until it is In hand! (Expected tomorrow - but fed ex still says by end of day today ). Pictures will be forthcoming when I can take them.

The Euro kind of eliminated a lot of different money, but i think I may have some old German Deutsche Mark's somewhere.

I have a 1 and a 5 Pre-fall of the wall West German Deutsche Mark coins.

I also have some 1, and 5 Euro coins around here somewhere.

Full day of work, then a full evening of shoveling stone. I’m really craving a margarita right now, but a Corona with a slice of lime will do. Maybe I’ll sample a dram of scotch to chase it.

Just spent some time on the deck with Mrs. B2V sipping margaritas. Beautiful evening.

Plans for the weekend are coming together. Picking up dirt to finish the flower area in front of the front porch. Weed & Feed for the rest of the yard. Maybe more mulch for around the trees and plants. Plus propane for the grill, we seem to be out.

In other words, yard work weekend.

Back to the VA in Mishawaka for a CT and hearing test tomorrow.

I made sure we were represented in Florida.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to get the jugs filled.

That's better than winkin' and stinkin' !

I'm not familiar with this terminology, so I'll stick with drinkin and thinkin. Or just drinkin.

It's whatever works for you, Ben ... that's all that matters.

A final thought before I hit the hay. I believe the Bergara 308 will be getting put on the chopping block. Along with the Arken scope mounted to it, ammo, bullets, brass, etc. Time to free up some space, time and money for other things I'd like to pursue right now. I really like the Bergara but would rather shoot my 6.5CM for the same role (and twice on Sunday).

Morning all...

Sorry to hear that, but yeah, if you prefer the 6.5CM it's hard to find justification for the 308. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to get mine dialed in today and finally be able to get some sub MOA groups.

Morning all!

This is a good path. If the goal is to enjoy building skill at shooting long range, then put your time and resources into one rifle to become really good with it. It’s different than it is with pistols. The cost involved in long range shooting and the skills needed to put a round in a specific spot 500 to 1000 yards away don’t lend themselves to having a large collection of various calibers.

I’m not saying don’t collect rifles, just that for that specific skill, I think that you are on the right track becoming very good with one very well optimized setup.

Morning all. Pew pew pew time planned for today.

I’m developing this exact attitude towards my bicycle collection… I’m wanting to slim it down considerably, to free up some cash, space and when I look around I’ve got a lot of half finished or not started projects…. At this point I’d rather sell most off, keeping my favorites, and build one solid nice rider from the frame up.

I’ve developed a different and new riding style than I have in years gone by and my needs/wants are different. No longer does a 80 year old single speed skip tooth coaster brake work for me when I’m heading out for a 20 mile ride pulling a trailer with kids in it… One, I get tired easier, two if I lose a chain, I have no brakes…

So once again in my pursuit of happiness, I’m gonna try out the quality over quantity… I’ve gone down this road before, but didn’t have an end goal in mind. Now the goals are set and I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Makes the inner collector in me happy that I know I’ll be back, but I’ve got other things to focus on first!
