Not much to add. Dinner was good. Worn out from another busy day. Hoping tomorrow will be calm so I can nap on the new couch and get my new patch:

If you don't own one already, you should anyway

A good MOA scope and you can put 'em in there all day!

I am not having shoulder surgery. KR turned me off of that! The dog doesn't mind if I throw her ball underhanded.

I have a DPMS LR.308 which I enjoy shooting but it has a carbine barrel of 16" so you really can't reach out with it.
