Great day on the lake

 This sight started the smiling... the parking lot was as empty as I have ever seen it. Only one other truck was there. I didn't have to wait to get to the launch ramp.
 Nobody was in sight at the beach in the recreation area, either.
 There were a few other boats out on the water, but not very many. This is why I like going out in the middle of the week.
 Warm and sunny, plenty of space to call your own, and the water was still warm. What more could you ask for?
A little fall color, maybe? Here it is. This set of trees always turns ahead of the rest. I didn't want to leave.

Fun with Allen at the range

 We went to the range so Allen could test fire the new trigger in his rifle, and check the scope alignment. It has been a while since it was fired. The Timney trigger was a huge step up and the scope was close, so we dialed it in the rest of the way.
Then it was time to play with the pistols. The Ruger is sighted to 50 yards and right on. We tried a few out at 100 yards to see what the bullet drop was with the extra distance. It's fairly substantial, about 8-9 inches from zero at 50 yards. We also burned some ammo with the .45 and enjoyed the afternoon.
