I’m 200 plus miles from the coast. Not too many big wind events here. Maybe a tornado. I got the 4 year warranty on it and insurance will take it from there.

View from the firepit tonight. Girls kinda social distancing with friends who are staying in the guest house

So sad, JR
For the good people of what used to be our greatest state
The communists have turned Cali into a welfare state where stupid rules the day
But I also say it is to the people of California to fix that mess out there themselves. I only hope that they have the will to do so
Going to end poorly if they don't...for all of us.

Well, painted and installed the lawn ornaments.  The range is a work in progress.  There are a lot of exposed roots and sawn off stumps that makes moving and shooting more challenging.  I actually like it. You have to feel with your feet as you move.

Wife shot her new 9mm today.  She liked it except that she’s limp wristing it a bit and she didnt like that hot brass went down the front of her shirt.  At least there was no FTF from her weak wrists, just short thrown brass.


I set these about 10 yards back from the 5.5x7.5.  I can start up close and move back and hit the little ones on the way to cover behind a big Elm tree.

These are 3/8 inch, hardened AR500 steel.  Mild steel unhardened, may work for some pistol rounds, but it will get pock marked pretty bad, I assume and deformation creates a ricochet hazard so wear eye pro and watch your distance. https://actiontarget.com/the-truth-about-steel-and-steel-targets-pt-2-2/

Mild steel should work fine for a long time with 22lr, and milder center fire pistol.  Any center fire rifle is a no-go on mild steel though.  Regardless, always where glasses when shooting steel.

Got wood??

Picked these up from my local saw mill guy.  All white oak.  The large ones are 5x10x100 inches.  Those are going to make the table top of the farm table for the outdoor kitchen.  Not sure I realized the table top would weigh 600 pounds....  No one will steal that anytime soon.

I think the others may make benches for the farm table.  I still have another log to process as well.  Now to get welding on a base.  Wonder if I should kabuki them, or what ever that Japanese burning wood preserving thing is and then put some urethane on them.....  Thoughts from the menses?

Yep. R panel metal roof. Pick up the panels Monday. Then I can move the untreated wood out of my shop to the upper level which should stay completely dry.

Negative.  Too heavy for my tractor anyway.  Hopefully I don’t need to move it any time soon.


Ken, I hear you,  that’s why i sidetracked and started this mini project. 

About to weld up a table base for the white oak slabs,  8ft table, 30 inches wide.  Wood plus base will be over 600 lbs when the wood is dry.  Right now it would be closer to 800.  Base is going to be 4x4 square tubing 1/4 wall.


Then I need to get a bunch of 2x2 galvanized square tubing to fab the cabinets for the outdoor kitchen

From working in the cabinet shop we built lots of tables. The one I tester the most is we didn’t have the welder put any cross braces for the weight.    Your table will lots lots lots bigger.   What ever you do make sure it has lateral support so if someone pushes an end it will not taco over.

Well, wife unit strikes again.  Tomorrow the flooring guys are coming to give me an estimate to replace the perfectly good tile floor with the tile we laid in the guest house.....Wife likes the floor we put in the guest house better than the floor in the main house so now they need to match.....

1st world problems for sure. 

But my revenge is I have the concrete guy coming to give me an estimate on enclosing the back 300 sq ft of the shop and add 300 sq ft to the front and then add a 30x30 concrete parking pad out front.  Should net me a place to park without tracking gravel into the house and an enclosed shop at 40X30.  The plan later is to add a 40x60 to the side for a total of 40x90.

He wanted $6 turnkey but I’ll be closer to 4.25 when done.
