I have had my Honda EU2000 since 2003. With a little common sense I can run everything to be comfortable. I went one step further and added UPS units to our computers, entertainment center, internet hub, etc so that I can ride out short outages and only start the generator when it looks like it is going to be longer. About 2 years ago I picked up a Wen 1250-Watt inverter generator. It acts as a back up to the Honda (with a bit more conservation) and burns less gas for long outages. It also gives me a lighter generator when I don't want to drag the Honda around. Both are very quiet and can not be heard inside the house or by any of my neighbors.

These guys look familiar. Anyone recognize them?

My old gun posts will be hit and miss this week. I'm out of town at a big car show and time and internet are hit and miss.

1944 Croatian partisan

After using cheap sale and flea market paint I started buying my target paint from https://www.rangestore.net. Target Paint has a higher percentage of pigment and covers faster. It cost more but covers faster, so goes further. Several of my heavy use targets was getting ruts under them from deflected bullets. I tried mulch but it turns to dust fairly fast. I then found rubber mulch and it holds up well, just rake them back in place once in awhile.

Betty Field in The Shepherd of the Hills (1941)

I have a small range. I shoot off my back deck out to about 30 yards into a hill side. If I set up a portable shooting table I can extend to 60 yards, but I checked it out the other day and some trees need some trimming for 60 yards since it was last used. My close target is 10 yards. I have an assortment of steel in different thicknesses That I color code when I paint them. Red for .22 only, Yellow for hand guns and carbine, Green for most anything within reason considering the distance. By doing a mix I could put up a lot more .22 steel for the money, and more reactive. I have a couple of places that I can hang paper when I need to sight in a gun.

No it was an open match, no Boy Scouts were there accept to service breakfast. The Boy Scout Council decide they need to make better use of their facility and help pay for the place, so more shooting events was one of the directions they are going. Very nice place and built for large groups obviously.
