What better way to celebrate the 4th...
 

Than to get a new spoon?


I just returned from the spoon shop and brought home my second Howa Mini, this one in 223. Lovely light little rifles with threaded barrels and MOA accuracy, not much larger than a "grown up" 22 action like a Ruger 77/22 or CZ 45x and about 10% smaller than a standard "short action".

If you need a youth/ladies rifle, or a lighter rifle in a medium caliber (6 ARC, 6.5 Grendel and 762x39), I wouldn't look much further than these.

I celebrated today by biking my local 'rails to trails' for a 16 mile trip to a brewery that I frequent.
It was still morning when I arrived and the hostess brought me my pint of ipa and said "It on the house for your bike trip"
I biked the 16 miles back and was home before noon.

Amazing how nice the people around here are. :)

potassium perchlorate and aluminum powder stirred not shaken.

If we want to play that game I have almost 3 pounds of 3Fg Real Black Powder ;)
