Like a Normal Day....

Momma and I took a short road trip today to a local outdoors store Fin, Fur & Feather . The Fin looked like it has at any other time . well stocked all of the racks and counters full of any kind of firearm. lots of ammo and reloading stuff and other than some ropes and Plexiglas shields by the gun department it was normal and busy. I picked up a Henry youth model .22 levergun for the Grandkids to learn to shoot with. Nice smooth little rifle with a 3lb trigger on it that breaks like glass.
On the way home most people out in the country were out cutting grass or enjoying the sunshine. only all of the closed stores along the way would tell You that something was amiss.

Pitchy do you have a milk man or a milk cow. Hard to think about nine months without milk.

The two oldest are eight and it's time they started to learn. they want b.b. guns but I want them to learn with a real gun with real bullets. the climate today is a lot more strict than it was when I was a kid. the dealer had CCI CB caps called Quiet-22 , 40 gr going 710 fps. I bought a bunch of them. I shot ten of them thru the gun yesterday and they are just what I wanted. should be pretty fun.

The Super Colibri by Aguila are also quiet and accurate in a Henry lever action. I like my Henry.

Milk? Only if I can get some Lactaid. Without it, milk causes horrible things to happen.

Here in the Soviet-Socialist state of Orygone our democrat governess still has us under strict lockdown orders, even though our hospitalizations peaked on the same day she gave the initial order and have dropped dramatically in the month since. One of the local restaurants is flipping her the bird and has been open for the past week. Doing land-office business as you can imagine.

About three days a week I drive 25 miles out of town to work on a little juniper-cut contract (nice social-distance, that 25 miles) and other than seeing a lot of RV's headed out to the boonies everything seems quite normal.

My proposal from the beginning was that we find someone with the virus and throw a big corona-virus party and get everybody exposed and either live or die but get on with whatever. That proposal was looked at with some horror by members of my family at the time, but a month later with the data coming in of how deadly the virus is not (death rate similar to the flu) I think my plan is looking pretty good to most of them.

Our county only had one confirmed case, found about a month ago, and he is long since over it. We'll have trouble finding a corona virus patient to party with.
