Building Character

What could be more character building than setting a rifle and ammo by the back door on a sunny, 62 degree fall day off from work, and then doing chores until it's too damn late to get to the range?

Beats the hell out of me, but I managed it. Nearly 2200 hrs, and that rifle is still by the door.

Just about as rewarding as a kick in the ass, though.

New Tools

Going out to the garage to assemble something with a little more horsepower than me and an axe. Chopping wood is great exercise, until a rotator cuff goes or there's a trip to the ER to get the axe taken out of your foot. I'm modernizing before either happens.
