Nice pistol there Mr. Mark! That looks like one of the few pistols wherein you flip the safety/decocker up for off.
I like that configuration!

Since it's raining out, I'll probably hang inside for most of the day. I'm about sick of this rain as it's doing a number on my grass.
I've got more mushrooms growing on my property than the law allows, from the ground being so saturated!
What's left of Michael is suppose to bring more rain & high winds later today & tonight.
With the ground being so saturated, I just hope my trees have good deep roots!
Haven't decided yet, but maybe later on I'll head over to the Police range and do some shooting.

Probably hang around the house today, as I have several domestic related chores that need tending. I might run to the store (ShopRite) later on.
Got another coat of paint on 4 sides of the dog house and covered the foundation vents since cold weather is right around the corner 
Pics Jerry...PICS !!

Took Mrs 3T to Home Depot to get some sheets of sand paper for her sander.
She's doing a Halloween project.
While there picked up a 36 pack of 2A batteries for my numerous electrical gadgets.

Believe it or not...rustling fallen leaves around this morning !!
Even though the trees are still green...a lot of leaves came down with the windy weather the other day.
But, with the temperatures dropping below 50 at night...it won't be long now before the trees in the area turn into some beautiful colors.

I've got the last coat of paint on the dog house. I got it from Walmart so the walls and everything was already made I just had to bolt them together and put the latches for the roof on which didn't have pre-drilled holes so I had to figure that out myself. In the process of testing the 1st hinge the top back corner pulled the metal screw insert right out of the wall so I had to put a long wood screw in it to hold it back together. For the $115 I spent on it I probably could've built 1 from scratch cheaper that would have been better weather proof but I didn't know that until I got it,1 disadvantage of ordering online.
As you can see from the light between the boards there's gaps that will let wind through very easily,it might be fine for warmer areas like Southern Texas or Florida but not up here in Indiana so I'm going to put plywood covered with plastic on the inside of the walls and floor. If they'd made them out of plywood it wood have been better but they probably thought the way it is "looked better to the eye" and would sell better
. It's a "dog house" for crying out loud not a hotel .
I'm also going to put a small partition in it so she can go around it and help keep the wind coming through the door from hitting her,I learned that trick from a guy in Kentucky that built 1 for me. I'm also going to put a partition in my Mountain Cur's house.
I probably won't have the 2x2s and plywood to do the partitions until next month but I should have enough to do the walls and floor to get her by until then. Plus the plywood I have is real rough and doesn't paint very good and I want to paint the partition side that's facing the door so I need smoother plywood for those.
Turned out real nice Jerry...and that partition is a good idea.
Also like the hinged roof so you can get into it to clean it out, etc.
Well done...
( ...also like the bow target on top of the Polaris... )

Wow Jerry, $1151.00 for a dog house!
Man that thing should have come pre-built with heating, A/C & running water!

It's Sunday, so I'll be hanging out in my "man cave" watching football all day & half the night.
Well...I did some more leaf and twig rustling this morning...trying to keep ahead of it all.
Bagged that mess up then made another pot of coffee and sat on the deck with a cup surveying the property with my pellet rifle besides me...
All is well in Shooter's world...

Sounds like your enjoying the retired life there buddy, as it don't get no better than that!
Yea My Man...You know how tuff it is...!!

Thanks. I got a bow earlier this summer for bowfishing the grass carp and needed it to sight it in. I thought about using it for deer season but still don't have it set up the way I want it so decided against it. Especially since I'm planning on getting a different bow next Spring that's smaller and has a shorter draw length with the sights,quiver,silencers and everything already on it.Turned out real nice Jerry...and that partition is a good idea.

I'm still a newbie at this retirement stuff.LOL
Spent a grueling day at the casino celebrating the wife's birthday with the in-laws.
Every one of us won money and we all ate for free. It was torture:lol:.
I love to play roulette and discovered that they will bring you free Crown Royal & Coke as long as you play:green man:.
They are in deep trouble because I can hold my own with both, for HOURS!
Uh,you have too many 1s in there buddy,it's 115 not 1151 :wink:Wow Jerry, $1151.00 for a dog house!

Since there wasn't any football games I really wanted to see and it was a nice sunny day in the low 60s I went out and trimmed around everything 1 last time for the year and even trimmed around the pond. I got the foundation vents covered the other day so other than covering the well with straw,all I have left to do before cold weather gets here is fix the chains on the pond's fountain and move the aerator diffusers back to shallow water. Probably do that this coming week when the temps are in the 50s. I've done it in the 40s but I don't want to wait too long because if it starts raining non-stop I might not get it done in time and they'll be in the deep end all winter and kill the bass again that I just put in there last Spring.
