Taking a half day off this Friday and spending the rest of the day and the weekend out on a frozen lake trying to catch a fish through a hole drilled in the ice!!! Only thing that keeps me sane during the long cold winter is being able to get out on the ice and do some fishing.

Saw the greatest band on the Planet on Sunday night and order another album of theirs and a solo album by their singer yesterday from Amazon. In case you're wondering the band is Porcupine Tree.

Got a nice tax return. Granted it is only a refund on money that you already paid, but it is nice to get back something I guess.

Took a new route to work today. Took several minutes off the drive and was able to avoid 6 traffic lights. Unfortunately to take the route I have to put the truck in four wheel drive and the route only works in the winter time as it is a across a frozen lake!!!! Call me an Ice Road Trucker

Yeah, Woman at work got a laugh when I told her of my new way to work. Told her she needed to trade her shiney red Mustang for a Pickup
Now what am I going to do when the Ice thaws. Have a truck and boat trailer at each end of the lake, dirve the boat across the lake, trailer it and continue on my way?

Wow Bucks, to me that would be the ultimate ride, I've never been close to ice that thick. Maybe you could get yourself a ice yacht for the winter.

Just bought a "new to me" used Marlin 39A twenty-two caliber, lever action rifle from a on-line gun dealer. Been looking for one for some time and a member of shooting web-site I am also a member of recommended this one. Dealer described it as looking almost new with a couple small "ding" in the wood. This is one of the most accurate and longest in production rifles in the world. Seriail number on this one tells me it was build in 1976, have to confirm this still.
Now I just need to wait for them to ship it to my local gun dealer, should be in my grubby hands in 10-14 days!!! Oh the agony!!!!
Now I just need a nice Ruger Single Six revolver and I'm ready to hit the gun range!

Buck, you definitely need a Duck. It's be hard to stage a amphibious assault on some of your lakes up in Minnesota in a Amphibi car! You wouldn't scare anyone!
Congrats on the rifle. My first rifle was a .22 semi auto Marlin, was a Christmas gift from my parents. Still have it. I am wanting to get a M1, 1903 Springfield, Lee Enfield, and a Mauser 98. Just would like to have one of each of those.

Fish would fear me!!!!!

My first rifle was also a Marlin Model 60, also a Christmas present. Probably morenie of those rifles out there that any other, maybe the Ruger 10/22 has more?
Rifle that is coming is essentially the same thing Annie Oakley used for trick shooting, different model #, but essentially the same rifle. Are supposed to be very accurate, particularly for a level gun, which typically are not the most accurate weapons.
I own one M1 Garand, in pieces, need to send to gunsmith to have it re-parked and the barrell twisted back onto the receiver. That's next on the list of things to spend money on. If your a lefty shooter watch out for that M1 clip after it springs out after the last shot, if you don't more your head out of the way it clunks you on the top of the head on it's way back to earth!!!
