Re: I think I'm on the hill...

I worked 35 years in commercial building construction (carpenter). Elbows and knees started to bother me toward the end. Started a new career, land surveying, at age 55. I hope to work as long as I am able. I am a firm believer in inertia, i.e., keep moving. ;-)

Re: Tire chains

I haven't run chains around home in years, although I still have a set.

When the oldest boy lived in Colorado we chained all four tires of his Cherokee to drive through the mud and snow in elk second season rifle.

I just spoke with my neighbor. His 5 year old grandson, visiting from Michigan, was rushed to a hospital in Philadelphia after showing "stroke like" signs. He has a brain tumor and the prognosis is not good.

We heard Luke's version last night. They pull out all the stops for the Easter Vigil mass, 3 Old Testament readings plus psalms, one Epistle (Romans) and Luke, six or seven new souls came into the Church, 2+ hours. Should have packed a lunch. ;-)

Single Seven's first day at the range

I went looking for a 44 special flattop the other day, but came home with a Single Seven.

This was my first chance to take it out. It shot well with the .327 shells I had. Tried a few 32 Longs, not so good, 6"-8".

Re: Why no rifles for Turkey hunting?

You can hunt turkeys in the fall with a rifle in Pennsylvania but not in the spring. I don't think you are allowed to hunt geese with a rifle. I'll bet it's a combination of safety and tradition.
