Moving Jessica to Kentucky

Sunday morning October 13th, the truck and trailer were hooked up and ready to leave. It took just under 5 hours to get there.

Another couple of hours to load up and we're ready to head back. Sadly, this wasn't all of it. I went back today and got the rest of it. It was another truck load. I brought the trailer just in case I needed it, however. The camera battery died, so I wasn't able to get any more pictures of today's trip.

Back from my road trip

 It was a pleasant ride, a bit long, but that was to be expected. Thanks to Bran for the route directions. It's much nicer not having to drive near Atlanta.

The scenery was very nice and the traffic was light. That is about all you can ask for. it was lots of fun catching up with my friends. We don't get to see each other often enough.

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.

Blade change

 Heather helped me take the deck off so we could scrape it out and put some sharp blades on. I greased it while it was easy to get to.

 These had really lost their edge. They were doing more tearing than cutting. I'll sharpen them back up so they can be swapped for the others next time.

 Alright, who is the knucklehead that put the center blade on upside down? Oh, wait, never mind.

I'll take care of it!... Now its ready to put back under the tractor.

Corner shelf

 We decided to put a corner shelf in the bathroom. We're a little short on shelf space, so I got started. We cleaned out the corner and I removed all the trim from the corner. I built the unit yesterday, but had to leave it in the shed for the night. The paint was still very tacky.

Here it is in place and ready. We don't have a medicine cabinet, so this takes the place of that. It's fully stocked now and a nice addition.

I need to do this more often!

 We had a beautiful day and I got to spend part of it on the lake.

 The water is still fairly warm  (84) and today was sunny and calm.

The only problem is leaving. I usually don't want to, but I have to. I had a pasture to mow when I got home.
