Funshow!

The summer shows always seem to be smaller than the winter ones, at Indy, but the crowds- particularly prior to big elections- seem to be good.

Went saturday with Partner to see the show and visit with his brother for a while. Would have been nice to go to the blogmeet for a while as well but the timing wasn’t good. Next time, I suppose.

Did get a UTG pistol grip for the AR, it fits nice and gives me an enclosed storage space for a pullthrough. It seemed to me to have abetter feel than the Magpul, and similar build quality. We’ll see. I may also yet get an ACS magpul stock. I need to SHOOT it a lot more, is what I need.

Shame to have missed the blogmeet, next time I hope- but it did allow me to get back to mow this morning, and now it’s raining and I’mna take a nap.

I used to be fairly well known for my gas, but get Partner in an enclosed space, then by God he can do some damage. I figured we were going to die, if not from the fart then from the erratic driving.

Adventures in mowing

Weather being what it has been, there have been more than a few fungi gracing our lawn. I wasn’t exactly going to pluck ’em and eat them, despite their overall yummy appearance, but I did want to see what they were. And of course they were amanita muscaria, toxic and nasty. Nice.

Each week

Of the past three I have somehow managed to avoid lawnmowing, and I finally got to it, and some of the trimming around the driveway.

The idea of living in a townhouse sometimes appeals to me.

Eventually, the idea is that I will have a lawn that is all completely mowable from the seat of the tractor, needing no other maintenance of any kind. Time that happens, I suppose, it will be someone else’s pride and joy.
