I did!! For the first time in a couple years I went trap shooting. After about a 20 year lay-off four clubs are getting together to revive the Hangover Trap League. I shoot for the skeet team at one of them so what the heck. Today was the first shoot and happened to be at my club. There's a total of eight shoots, two at each club, and a shoot-off. $2/week/shooter goes to prizes, so I don't think many ringers are going to spoil the fun. All four of these clubs are just around the north end of Seneca Lake from me. Three are within 10 miles and one I've never been to is maybe 30 miles down some beautiful country roads. I hope spring gets here because the top-down Mustang is ready to roll!

I don't think I ever posted a pic of my home-made custom trap gun. I found this in a little Mom & Pop gun shop when I was killing time at the Waverly NY Auto Auction. Paid $200 NIB never fired. It's the Nat. Wild Turkey Foundation raffle gun from 2007 made by H&R. I put the custom pad on with a spacer for some extra LOP, not a bad do-it-yourself effort, if I must say so! I added some serious weight in the stock, those H&R's kick like mules! Got a hammer extension, an IM choke, and I load really light 7/8 oz. loads.

First station today I missed three birds, then nailed 18/20 the rest of the way. I kinda forgot how to float the birds. Ended up with a 37/50. I'll take it. I had a blast!.........................the Mailman

Took my two grandsons out along with my son in law to a game farm for some pheasant hunting. Put out six birds and the dogs got up all six, both grandsons shot one. Was the first time pheasant hunting for one of my grandsons. I think we have him hooked. Last bird the dogs got up we decided to let the boys take it. It survived the gauntlet of fire.

Watched the TCU referees beat Michigan, watching a good game between Ohio State and Georgia.

Watched most of that game, and I thought TCU looked damn good. One of us has clouded vision, and since I'm older than you I must admit that yours may be clearer. But you always get surprised by Michigan in bowl games. Just sayin'.

Not really surprised, they always choke. What would surprise me would be them playing a solid game.

Went to the RV show in Denver. I would rather be hunting, but there’s too few birds and too much snow in Colorado this year.

Looks like another full day of football. Sadly it will soon be over and I simply can’t watch any kind of round ball.

Installed a saw till and tool cabinet today, and suprised myself. I'd thought that I'd have to call a couple of sons over to do the lifting, but I planned for it, laid it out carefully, and I only had to grunt a little. Now I don't have to open a drawer to get to hand saws. The circ saws, though...

Walked to the front of the subdivision and back today 1/2 mile, still not happy with the progress so far.

Had my 6 week check-up yesterday. Incision is completely healed, no swelling, 0° extension, 125° flexion, implants are secure. PA told me I can resume all activities with the exception of running and jumping (no danger of either of those happening). Next check-up at the one year mark.

Not getting the other one done? Both of mine were trashed, the left knee (the problem child), was so far gone the kneecap was sunk down so far it would not even move when being manupliated.
