I know I will forget something. Took the pig in this morning. It's a small one this time .Maybe 150lbs. He should be really good . I also ordered 20lbs of bacon.
Zeroed my scope at 100 yards last night. Also got numbers for 400 and 300 yards. Next I need to get 200 yard numbers.
Gonna start weighing powder charges tonite because the rest of the week is crazy!
Picking up the camper and generator on Wednesday.
Picking up the pig and bacon on Thursday .
Need to pack most of my garage because sure as $hit if I dont I will need it!
What am I forgetting ?
Oh ya I better try to get something done at my shop to help pay for all the days I'm blowing off to go and play !

We will eat good that's for sure.... Anyone that has a fold up table, it would be nice to have a few more... Seems like no matter how many tables we have they all get covered with stuff... Mostly food....

good deal all & look forward to the reunion again!
ready??? never, but much like bill posted!
cooking/food gear- have been loading on truck for a week,little here,little there-should have it totally loaded wed nite but I have never came close on my projected departure time  // 2 shoots ago had a break line bust after truck was loaded pulling out.
gun- 1st time since last shoot- got it out sunday in 88 degree temps,it did not respond well(for competition purposes) & had to make a adjustment & add a WAD for the first time to settle her down-now guess what-projected temps are lower-oh' well we will see.
my 2 goals- #1-eat & relax,,,,,#2-score 12X-which will not happen  
be safe & see you all there! |

I ordered some 297 hammers from Kyle that he shipped monday, I only have 18 left, hopefully they will show up tomorrow so I can size up a bunch tomorrow night, I guess i will do load development Friday at the range, nothing like last minute preparation to make life interesting!!  If things go south I can always chase targets and cook; O and maybe eat a bit  |

Picked up the camper and generator today. Getting the hog and bacon tom. I'm gonna tear down the gun and clean that stupid Jewell trigger one more time . Need to weigh out some loads I'll size bullets there. Load most of my garage because if I dont sure as $hit I know I will need something I do not have ! Oh ya and I need to do a little work tomorrow ( that really sucks ) pack some clothes bring plenty of money just in case Kyle or Hank has something I cant live without. Then get the heck out of dodge for a couple of days and try not to think about work.
