It's the story of the Scorpion and the Frog


Scorpion says to the Frog:
"Frog...can I get a ride across the river on your back?
Frog says no way, you will sting me half way across and I will drown.
Scorpion says why would I do that,if I did that then I would drown also?
Frog thinks about it and agrees and says ok.
Well, halfway across the river the Scorpion stings the Frog.

This stuff is growing so fast and all the people that are essential employees makes me think it’s almost just a matter of time. USS calls us essential at the taconite mine but now they’re shutting some of the blast furnaces and steel plants along with the tube division in may. All starting to make me wonder if we are going to get exposed being essential then layed off a few weeks later for lack of pellet needs.

So far one case ,evidently a transient who was treated and released .One case in an adjoining county in isolation .There are some merits to living in a rural area besides being able to pee on an oak tree any time you want.
Although I admit it's became a daunting task trying to mark ones territory like Fido on every tree .I'd go broke buying enough beer to be able to keep up .

Echo vent for the weed whip and some red oak for the 361. We also built 14 no till beds in the garden yesterday with some awesome compost.

Yesterday I cleaned a couple of rifles, sharpened a couple of chains, replaced the oil line on a Home Depot 6401 convert 7900, (man I hate that aqua green) went to the airport and flew around for awhile. Never came in contact with a single person

Fine looking rifle.

10-4...I’ve had good success with these Vortex 6-24x50 AO, 30mm scopes. Have them on several magnum as well as standard calibers. I’m sure this one will shine sitting on top of the .257 Weatherby Magnum with Talley unitized mounts.

Nice touch with the air box vent. Now especially if you "Come from the land of the ice & snow..with the midnight sun where the hot springs blow" ( or is it 'my hot springs blow)

1979 Grumman AA5B tiger. A little 4 seat bug smasher. It’s very responsive compared to cessna’s or pipers and will cruise at 135kts, lots of fun to fly.

I like sharp chains. That said, I've been loosing interest in sharpening them over the years. I've got a bunch hanging on a nail that I should get started on - maybe tomorrow...

It's been raining quite a lot and I should get my raised gardens cleaned up and ready for next year. It's too muddy - maybe tomorrow...

I don't have to pick any of the figs off my three fig trees, the birds cleaned them off, along with all the grapes on both vines, the pomegranate, the mulberry and the two pecans. Thankfully, the cockatoos didn't clean up the macadamia. The three orange trees were a race as to got the harvest. - The local bushfires created a shortage of feed for the birds and I haven't pushed the issue, heck, they were so hungry they even went after one of my lemon trees - but next year I may start harvesting birds.

Haven't heard of anyone in the area getting the virus. Toilet paper is still in short supply in the stores, but I'm a 'prepper' and have my own supply in the shed. We're using TP I stashed away 10 years ago.

Is that a Vanguard variant or a Mark V? I've been looking at several rifles and a few of the Vanguards interest me. I'd be curious, if it is, hot it shoots?

Let me step in a sec I have to say you can't go wrong with the vanguard I've got the 30.06 and they very good holds a one inch group but the trigger has some creep to it but can be adjusted a bit it's baste off the timany trigger. I took the scope that they put on the vanguards and put the Leiapold on I'll post a pic I can't spell worth a *s-word.
