What'd you do today?

Nice! I have an 80's silhouette 686. 8-3/8" barrel, with a four position sight. Someone had the trigger worked, and it is THE smoothest revolver I have ever shot. Having shot both, I feel it's tighter than my uncle's Colt Python. Whoever worked it did an outstanding job. There is no take-up for the double action pull, and the break on single is nice and glassy, with like no weight. I love the gun to death. Paid like $500 for it out the door.

Handled a stock, new 686 the other day, just to compare. It felt like there was sandpaper on the trigger's contact points. :'(

Spent the past three days cleaning up from the flood. Wound up with about 200 gallons of water in the basement during the storm that decimated historic Ellicot City which is the next county over. We got 6.2" of rain in just 2 hours. It simply piled up and came in under the doors in the basement. got most of it sucked out that night after making an emergency run to home depot to get a new shop vac with a drain pump. Would fill the vac ever 30 second and then turn on the pump which would empty it outside through a garden hose in just under a minute. Then had to extract as much water from the carpet and pad as we could in that section of the basement. Finally had to pull up the carpet yesterday, pull up the pad as well, and dry it all out separately. Went back through today once it had dried and sprayed it all with a deodorizer/disinfectant/mold and mildew preventative. We've had two 50-pint dehumidifiers running for 48 hours straight and it's just now getting below 60%. It's never happened here before. I know the previous owner (he lives down the street) and he never had anything like that happen in the past. My neighbor got flooded out too. Absolutely nuts.

Tomorrow we'll get the pad and carpet back down and tacked and can then move furniture back around. Should be more space at least since we hauled enough crap away to fill the bed of a Chevy Silverado full-size just this morning.

Went tubing on the delaware... ended up hiking barefoot on the shore about one mile due to severe thunderstorms. Not fun.

Go back to petting malmutes and hocking TV dinners you!

I always thought store brand guns were cool. I want a JC Penney shotgun

Awww snap! Bought another gun today. Didn't get the Ringneck. Hit $400 towards the end once you factored in the buyer's premium. Add shipping and FFL transfer on top of it and it was going to be $500. Still a steal for what was originally a $1200-$1400 gun when it was brought out, but too rich for my blood. So instead, I stumbled across a Montgomery Wards Western Field 600A ERI which is a gussied up Remington 878 with nice checkering in premium wood for the stock and forearm, and some decent engraving for a store brand arm. She's in nice shape. Most of these were modified choke, so it should work for pheasant, chuckar, and trap/skeet as well when I'm not rocking the SxS hammer gun.

Excellent.  My buddy has a CZ o/u.  I think it's the redhead.  Shoots really nice, although it slaps him in the face a bit.  I'm really excited for the winter 5 stand league again this year.  I think last year they said they had almost 500 people in that league.  I will shoot a 50 soon... and I also want to shoot a perfect round of skeet.  I should be able to.

Finished up my sporting clays summer leage tonight.  Shot 2 43/50s.   Those put my average for the league just over 40.  Pretty happy about that.

Mine was free. I had a newish Suzuki TU250 which I liked. GF got stuck with a beat up Kawasaki 250 cruiser that had been dropped many times.
