Cedar fever got me this weekend and I felt too cruddy to do much of anything outside, so no new photos or range results yet. Finally got some decent allergy meds going and I feel a heck of a lot better. Couple little details to finish up and I can officially start building the silencer.

I hear Allegra-d and mucinex combined helps keep that at bay.
only you have to buy the Allegra every 15 day's or your tagged as a meth dealer.

Congestion? Runny nose and sneezing? Treat the symtoms. Or just ask your pharmacist, they are quite helpful.
Tree pollen is a huge problem in Nebraska in spring.

The first time I visited my parents, when they became snowbirds and settled in a little private RV park 50 miles out of San Antonio(in old D'hanis), I got what I thought was the Flu. I knew I was allergic to Oak pollen, when I was tested, my numbers for Oak was off the chart, but Mold/mildew and Cedar were borderline. Anyway, after two days of pure misery, I took some sudafed and in a couple hours, I was back to normal. IIRC, the Mt Cedar numbers were like 20K or 30K...which is like 50+ times the Oak and Cedar pollen counts we get in MN.

D'Hanis is right at the southern foothills of the Hill Country, on the coastal mesquite/prickly pear plains. "Hondo", the town near D'Hanis, means "wide" in Spanish. I'm up in the "cedar brakes" about 60 miles north of there. Sometimes it looks like the hills are on fire with clouds of yellow/orange cedar pollen.

Well lookie here, someone is making these things commercially now. I'd buy one if I hadn't already made exactly the same thing, but with an adjustable gas block and reverse of the slotted/hole pattern.
