I only made one shot that might have been considered exceptional, took down a small motorsickle going as fast as it could at something over 300 yards. Was a metric, of course... First round kicked up dirt a few yards behind it, then it was just a matter of leading a bit more. Now I can see the front sight and the target, but one of them will be a blur. Still ain't bad with a shotgun, but they ain't exactly precise...

Surgery Wednesday afternoon. Last time I took a pain pill was mid-night Thursday. No pain. Worst thing so far is the damn strap on my neck. Took g-son home yesterday afternoon. Was real nice havin him here for a couple days. This morning decided to play w/ the camera. Got my arm wrapped clear up to the shoulder...

Forget if it was last year or the one before, when I had the arm nerve problem, couldn't lay on my back, had to sleep for a couple months in the recliner. It was fairly comfortable, but I was sure glad when I could sleep in bed again. You don't think about how important sleep is till you have a problem with it.

I am right handed. Spent 3 yrs w/ a cast on my left leg & learned to carry a cup & a plate w/ a sandwich on it up 20 stairs.

Dang, noon already and I ain't cut any trees yet. Cloudy out, at least the sun won't bake me so bad. Gotta finish the rusty floor in the sidecar tub, too. Ain't thick rust, hit it with a brush in the drill, got a lot of shiny metal, finishing up with aluminum oxide grit in a blaster. Then it's some primer, and thinking of using appliance paint, stuf's supposed to be harder than regular paint. At some point, the sidecar will need to be stripped and completely repainted, if I keep it. Sure ain't the best built thing, but just a sidecar alone for a Harley, even used, woulda cost more than this rig. Just thinking of it as a toy, anyway.
