It's late

but I forgot to run the water earlier today. So I'm still up and waiting for the sprinkler to finish
It's funny that we have a built in automatic system over our one acre lot, but I don't use the front yard sprinklers for the lawn. The wind always seems to blow in the evening and it subsequently sprays over the cars. So I use just the hose and a small $4 sprinkler head and move it around. We are on a water system, so we can only water every other day. I don't mind, but nights like this I wish I would have remembered it was our day to water.
Actually the whole neighborhood owns the water company, but they still can fine you if you water on off days. It also helps to keep the pressure in main system up.


In a previous post I noted I found a mystery 20 gauge shotgun. I recall it's origins now. My real father gave it to me a few years back. He won it in a raffle and after discussing it with him today, I recalled the exchange.
They say the Memory is the first thing to go....or is it the second? I don't remember now...
My Stepfather Richard, passed away ten years ago. He really was the one that got me into shooting. It was a different time but I recall loading up the hunting vest, grabbing my shotgun and setting out for the day- alone. No harassment from the Sheriff, no child endangerment charges. Just growing up, taking responsibility for my actions and practicing safety.
I miss those days.
Anyway my dad is back in Oklahoma and he called to tell me he picked up another Russian Rifle at a local gun show. He didn't know really what it was but thought it was a nice collector's piece. Turns out it's a Mosin Nagant 7.62 X 54MM.
All this gun talk has my trigger finger itchin'
Maybe I'll head up to the Mountains on Thursday Night and shoot some Trap. It's too hot during the day and only on Thursdays do they run the Nighttime lighting.

Well I guess the water is done for now............
