Cooler but still clear. Should be another nice day before any storm effects hit us. I saw a high of 88F at the house yesterday, and a low of 76F. That’s a smaller range, and lower temps overall. Enjoy!
Did auction stuff in the morning. Then in the afternoon I did one pickup. Got the kid from school. Grocery shopped. Made dinner. Domestic bliss.
Spent some time chatting with an auctioneer I don’t see very often, and my neighbor. No new insights, but both are feeling the economic squeeze. It’s wide spread and spreading. HEB had Prime chuck roast on sale, so I bought some. They also had it sliced thin and packaged as “steaks”. That’s a very inexpensive cut for a steak… almost a ‘hillbilly’ steak. The market is definitely moving downscale.
Today I’ve got to do some auction in the afternoon, but first I will do more cleaning and putting away around the house. Might find time to do some gear testing in between. I need to find my range bag…
Shooting may be a perishable skill if you are trying for Annie Oakley levels of performance, but if you have a solid foundation, I think you can get acceptable to good results, even with time off. I always start a range day with a “draw and fire” point shooting exercise- cold gub, cold me, and no time to aim. I usually put the whole magazine on the paper. That’s pretty OK in my estimation and a better assessment than a clean target with tight groups at the end of a day of exercises and practice.
We’ll see how it goes. As long as I don’t embarrass myself…
Get out there and practice a skill. Even better if you can work in some time with your friends or network, or use the time to MAKE friends and expand your network.
Stack some time on task, and some buckets…
