I absolutely refuse to mow when it's that hot. I'll get up at the crack of dawn and be out mowing when it's about 7:30, dew still on the grass. The only thing to do when it gets that hot is to enjoy the AC,and it gets plenty hot here in E Texas. We are forcast to hit 90 today.

I’ve got 2 months before grass cutting starts. And that’s too soon. Too windy and cold to shoot.
Worked on ground targets today. This is after a season on wood.
A member mentioned a cinder block, unfortunately I have a half skid, great idea. I dusted them off and gave a facelift.

FWB 150 that I got in earlier this week. I was chasing the bullseye, and then noticed that the sight retaining screw was backed way out. Just did not look right. I would get a couple of good groups then it would move. I took the gun inside and really looked it over, I finally backed the screw out all the way oiled the outside and installed it and it went in all the way, probably 1/2" more than when I got it. THe sight is now mounted solid and I will give it another try tomorrow.

Finally back shooting, bloody wind. 42 and sunny, great start. This threads start, a HW77 .177. 
10 head shots the last nicked the edge, 47 yds. 
Another 77 .25. The best plinker. IMO. 
I slammed the rams head 15 times, I was getting a headache. He was shaking like a willow tree. As far as targets go these are now my favorite. Going to make more. They take a beating. I think the door springs will be even better. 
Looking at it with a front plate as well a rear plate to catch the rounds would be nice. Crow

I made another deal. Back in 94 I drove down to Chicago for the Blues and a good time. While there I bought 10 seats from the old Chicago arena and bricks. Black Hawks and Bulls. Doesn’t get much better. Always been a Hawks fan. My son is redecorating again and wants 3 chairs. I came this close 
to getting a LGU. Not meant to be for now. So I changed to a HW85.
I have it in both cal. now, so I shot this afternoon to decide which cal. to get.
Love them both but going with .177 and a 12 fpe spring. Reason for the 85, its barrel is long and easy to jack. As I age, I’ll appreciate it more. Also a great recipient for Doppler Sights.
On top of that I’m getting a R7 .177 as well in the trade.
I was in business for 35 yrs. I saved so much memorabilia from day one. I knew it would be worth more than what I paid for it. Has no sentimental value. So far I traded seven Weihrauch’s for the collectables. And counting. Crow

that’s pretty cool. I saw quite a few Bulls and Hawks games at the old Chicago stadium. Once sat behind Jim Belushi and John Candy at a Hawks game there. Good timesI made another deal.
