I am going to get an allergy test this Friday. I hope that they can get me on that beautiful cocktail of cat dander and ragweed pollen by the new year.
I went running today and my time/mi values were where they are if I don't run for a few months. This is from 3 days without allergy medicine (not very long), in the winter(not very much pollen), when its raining (also keeps pollen down).
Can't wait!
I put my glasses in my shirt pocket last night.
I wore them driving home, then left them on my desk.
In the morning, I woke up, and put them on sometime in the morning.
I am going throughout my day, whistling to myself...
I see a speck on my glasses, and decide that I am going to wipe down the lens really well, so I can just poke at it with my finger. I am doing this absentmindedly as I am typing on the computer. So I remove the smudge on the lens. I think to myself, "hmm, lemme rub the other lens too", so I stick my finger on the other lens.
I poke myself in my eye.
The lens had fallen out in my shirt pocket and I did not notice it all day.
(I have one "bad" eye, and one "good" one)
It turns out the missing lens was for the "bad" one. I had assumed since I did not notice it was becuase it was for the good one, but as I wrote this post I checked, and it was the bad one.
Just remember kids, if we go to nuclear zero, then only the terrorists will have nukes!
I forgot to post the first time I shot the mosin with the scope. 100 yards, not zeroed so its mostly group size. It was the end of the day, and I was rushing alot (excuses I know!)
It has gotten better(maybe not the group was bigger, but I see a bifurcation), as you can see below. The pic is at 100 yards, scope "zeroed" for 200, should be 2.1 inches high at that range. I was aiming for the center of the black square. There was 1 flyer that I did not find because the surrounding box had a few holes in it. (ha or it went in one of the other holes (not likely, but we think Kerr did that earlier that day)). The two shots above the square were not too shabby, but there were two to the left. According to the chart, i am using "too little finger". Could also have been anticipating, it was the end of the day. At any rate, thats what happened. Trigger control work should fix the problem. Next time at the range I'll attempt a paper plate with a black square again.
Update: I forgot to mention, this was shot from a "field position" of me sitting and using the bi-fur-pod as a rest. I'll try and do a bench rest version to see what the mosin is capable of (might need someone(s) to also do that), then a field rest version to see what I am capable of.
Pic 1: I was zeroing the mosin and using its carry case that I made from some old jeans to hold it up (sort of as a bench rest). In my movements, the case was hit with muzzle blast or a bullet. It basically shredded into confetti and made some huge holes.
Pic 2: Finding out the score of a bocce ball game during festivities. That was a great day, we rolled down this big grass hill, had (wine and beer) with (cheese or salmon spread) and crackers)). We met this outgoing kid, Justin, that wanted to play bocce with us. We let him play (well, throw the balls around randomly). I was talking to his dad, and he runs up "what are you drinking".... pause from me, then "Apple juice". Later he says "do you have to drink apple juice when you are playing bocce?" ---- my answer "but of course!" [note: people tell me that it was not apple juice]. [also, those are not my toes!]
