i want you guys to bring 2 towels. one for your heads and one to wipe your gun barrels. face cloth or hand towel size is ok. not a shower or beach towel. might want to consider a set of light long pants and a light long sleeve shirt to protect from sun burn.

it hit 114 today. 108 in the shade. we are the hottest place in the usa. but...clouds rolled in tonite...its back down to 80 right now. ryan, it will cool you off and it will make the mirage go away on your shotgun barrel.
and...if there is a mist, you can actually see the shot swarm going to the target, (vapor trail.) so rain is a good thing, but not lightning!

i dont know if you guys are following the reason for this heat, but its has something to do with a historic huge record breaking solar flare being watched.

"..............I'd come down and shoot but I don't have a shotgun................."

i have my personal shotgun waiting for you to use. dont let a gun be the reason you dont come. buy my ammo or bring your own.

so, i personally invite you to visit. you can compete for the prize,(entry is 50.00) or just hang out and chat. feel free to grace my club as my guest and drink sodas all day!
its gonna be 91 on the 14th. still much better than 112. ac works fine.
we are practically neighbors. let secure a friendship.
please come!

Same thing going on here. Grass is waist high, but I got the lawn mower back from the shop, and I'm working on it. Roof started leaking around the vent pipe for the front bath room, and the AC is acting up. Replaced the thermostat, but it's still crazy. Sometimes I have to turn the fan to "ON" to get the dang thing to work, and then sometimes it just shuts itself down!

The bad thing is my dentist did a root canal on this tooth and I have over $1500 of my money plus my insurance money and it's got to go. 62 years old and my 1st tooth to be pulled. Had my 1st cavity at 60.

Still have the bad tooth. Go in for oral surgery tomorrow. That gives me 2 days to recuperate. I did have a wisdom tooth pulled a few years back at lunch time and was back at work in the afternoon. I had 2 root canals done on my lunch also and was back at work the same day with those.

A little oral surgery won't slow me down. I have been looking forward to this for some time now. It's all my son and I talk about the last few weeks.
