We are starting our second week back to work in a variety of venues. It has been since 14 March since we have been in these venues and the 3 hour events are turning into 6 and 8 hour events! It is a blessing to be needed! Herself comes along and handles all the paperwork and the majority of questions. I merely sharpen. With Herself along, we are three times as efficient as when I work alone.
Off to work!

I couldn't wait any longer. I had to go out this evening and just sit on one of my bow stands. Not a thing seen but that doesn't matter. A few acorns were falling and lots of mosquitoes buzzing.
Today was opening day of archery/muzzleloader season here. I didn't go because of an east wind blowing from my stands and all approaches towards the bedding cover. Just at dark I watched a couple nice bucks walk by my ladder stand on the creek from the kitchen window. Doubt there would of been enough light for the iron sights on that side lock T/C New Englander anyway.

I don't know how they know which way is behind you when starting out from a 90.
but the one I managed to get going today knew.
bout wet myself when I woke that Doe up laying on the other side of the grass I was cutting through.
I know there is at least one big Tom and a breeding age female Mtn. Lion in the area [and a cub from last year] so when a light Brown flash pops up 5' away it tends to startle you some.

Wanting to empty a mostly full pound can of 5744, I tested 28.5-grains of it in the Pedersoli .45-70 rolling block along with Lyman's 457193 405-grainer. Fifty-yard grouping was not as tight as the rifle's favorite load, but good enough for its intended purpose.
Didn't look in the barrel for dead soldiers, as I have in the past, but there were a lot of them left in the brass.
Another powder that I want to get rid of is 4759. It and 5744 just have not got along exceptionally well with any of my rifles. Loaded 19.0-grains of it and Lee's 311-185 (195-grains checked and lubed) for the cutdown 1891 Argentine, but a problem with the old Lyman receiver sight made the session a bust.

Often? Can't say I have ever heard that before. I bet there would be no shortage of people more than willing to take it off his hands and at a fair price.

You must have read two sentences, before I erased them, prior to making the post.
I had written that, if anyone wanted the powders, they could have them.
So, I'll made the offer official: Free powder.
Almost a full pound can of Accurate 5744
Roughly a half-can of SR 4759
No picking and choosing, you have to take them both.
