What did you do today?

Made the first of 5 shot cups for a buddy of mine. Stainless steel on the lathe. May still bore it out a bit to thin the wall and make it more bottom weighted.

Just got done watching my own private airshow. The Navy's Blue Angels are in town for the weekend and I live right next door to the former Brunswick Naval Air Base. They just buzzed the house a half dozen times doing some practice maneuvers. AMAZING!!! Oh, and I bought my first cell cam from Cabelas. $27 and change after I used my club points :)

They have an annual air show in my town that the angels fly in. I've had 2 times of getting front row to the practice manuvers during the week leading up to the show. First time I was roofing a house on the beach and they were practicing out over the ocean and then bomb down the beach. The other time I was working on a house on the river and they were doing the same practice runs up and down the river at low altitudes.

funny hunting story; I wanted to go hunt this small island that juts out into a large fresh water lake. It's really close to the road but has a strip of wood that is incredibly thick that u need to bushwhack thru till it opened up into the marsh. I know it overlooked and the overhead pics show heavy trails leading out to it. I suck it up and bust my way thru the only real way I can see to get thru the thick stuff....once I get thru that mess I'm out following the edge of the marsh looking for sign and a possible tree. Water is shin/knee high and then I step into an alligator wallow that put me up chest deep. I scramble and get out of the wallow and proceed to keep looking for a spot. All I can find is a teeny pine. Water filled boot climb up and then I start stripping down to skivvies and hang my clothes hoping they dry out a little before the sun starts to dip. It's gun season so I have my orange hat on. As is starts getting close to sun down a bi-plane shows up and is flying around over the lake. He/she sees me up in the tree half naked and then proceed to start diving and buzzing the water, loop t loops, barrel rolls, etc. Needless to say I didn't see any animals but it was a cool experience. I can only imagine the pilots side of the story. ...

Side note: taking off water filled rubber boots while tethered in on a platform is next to impossible... Don't believe me?... Give it a try sometime and if u can get them off without getting wetter than I were before, u have my total respect
 
It’s hard to describe the deep disappointment of negotiating time away from the family and putting in the heavy sweat equity to put food plots in, thinking everything was off to a great start, then going back and seeing almost no ears on the corn… mowed much of the corn down and broadcasted / light disked in rye, wheat, oats to salvage it.
 
Did a final scout on my property with only 2 weeks until opener. It's been stupid dry here with alot of the usual water holes dried up. Didn't see anywhere near the usual travel patterns and no rubs/scrapes but plenty of doe/fawn sign. I have no problems taking doe but hopefully the bucks will move in once we get closer to the rut. On the plus side, it's so dry I could walk through the woods and undergrowth without bleeding to death from mosquitoes.

Made a 2nd rope bag to improve on the one I made yesterday. I was worried that it was a little too big but the boiling water used to dye it shrunk it to a perfect size.
