What's everybody doing today?

Saw "Homestead" from Angel Studios, still thinking on that one. A good movie, but it makes me think.

We've been at the gun club. There's an ATA tourney going on, all 5 fields were popping. I renewed our membership for '25 so my gate code didn't expire. They are having a Christmas ham dinner for ten bucks. We might do that instead of cooking our duck. It's come a long way. 15 years ago we had one berm. Now we have 4 rifle/pistol ranges, 5 skeet/trap fields, 5 stand, archery. Lots of steel and several plate racks. A club house and separate training trailer/classroom, even internet, even a working bowling ball cannon. The whole thing is built and run by volunteers.

I gotta shoot more. My wife cleaned my clock on the plate rack. She was shooting her ported Canik "Shark" (CZ75 clone) and I was shooting my edc Glock 19. Her first rack was 6 of 6. Six inch steel at 15 yds. We start by shooting it cold. Just draw and shoot. You learn a lot that way. I mashed the atrocious trigger on my Glock and hit halfway up the berm twice on my first rack, sheesh, leaving me at 6 plates with 9 rounds. When we left we were both nailing the 50 yard gongs. But way too slow. New Year's resolution, shoot at least once a week until summer!

Helped my best friend today. Hauled a ladder for him in my truck, helped him take off a door and let him use my handheld planer to chamfer/bevel the door edge to make it fit (he had to scab a piece on to repair it & it was too thick to fit with the door stops and door stops started breaking when he tried to pull them up). Gave him some cardboard to use to protect other stuff while he spray painted Killz on to the trimmed edges, helped him re-mount the door, helped him mount another door. Handed him tools, shingles, and roofing nails to clean up and patch the roof on the workshop. While he was up there removing remnants from a cruddy addition, I was down picking up debris and moving burnable stuff to the burn pile and non-burnable stuff into trash bags I brought. I got some contractor bags and we filled a few up. Helped him move the chicken nesting boxes into the barn and helped trying to clean up a huge pile of debris (mostly old shingles). At one point he had the dust catcher on the planer on the wrong side (or rather, forgot to flip the switch) so it blew dust all over me while I was holding the door still. I laughed the entire time it was happening.

Discovered there was more damage to my truck from the deer than I'd originally noticed. Cracks can't be fixed but hoping the fog light can be.

Friend loaded up my gorilla cart into the truck, I went to Walmart for food, cooked for Mom when I got home and am currently resting.

Very busy the last few days.
Today is Church, cut up and vacuum seal ham that was cooked yesterday. Prep for tomorrow at the hospital in Jackson. DH will have blood work, CT of lungs, pulmonary function test (he passed out last time), then a bronchoscopy and wash out his lungs. Long day! Hope transport shows up on time! I have a friend feeding the dogs and cat. I will try to update. Please pray for a successful outcome!

Prayers for both of you snap

We were <1 hr from heading out with gingerbread houses to decorate when niece called and said they were sick so change of plans- we’ll try for Thursday. Since our day was freed up, I went to church. There weren’t very many people there today but I think it was one of my favorite services. Pastor kept getting sidetracked- too funny.
Got Ma’s gift finished and was wrapping it when they showed up whew! Tomorrow I will toast bread cubes for stuffing.
Also still dealing with fire stuff- will need a storage unit for a period of time so hoping to take care of that tomorrow also.

Finished cleaning all the drawers and dividers for my 60 drawer small parts cabinet last night. Today the tedious work began. Got all my stranded wire connectors sorted by size and type along with lugs. Sorted the solid wire twist connectors then finished fuses for home, auto and systems. Working on switches and bulbs when I called it a day. Have to decide what I want stored in the bottom half of the cabinet.

Watching tv tonight.
