went over to the Kid's place and we made some stuffed mushrooms, and had some deer roast.
then we tricked the G-boy into thinking it was midnight by showing him last years potato drop at the capitol on the TV.
he decided it was just about bed time so we come home.
took the 'long way' around town coming home and seen an 18 wheeler rolling through town, so I guess everyone else is either staying home or waiting it out.

Boys spent some quality time together shooting bows. Sure nice to see them doing something together that they both enjoy. Looked for some 38SPL rounds today. Could only find about 40 rounds of defense ammo that I loaded about 6 years ago. Going to let College Boy shoot those up tomorrow (almost certainly have target rounds somewhere, but where?) along with some 45ACP. He has to go back to school in several days and if he scores an internship this summer, I may not see him again for a year.
Mom is snoring on a 6" memory foam mattress on the living room floor that has become Tasha and Mom's favorite napping station, Tasha is next to her puppy dreaming, College Boy is in his "man cave" in the basement, "Future Veterinarian" is in his bedroom, MIL retired two hours ago.
About 30 years since I've gone out on New Year's Eve.

Oh no, none of that driving on roads or highways for this crew. NOT on New Year's Eve.
When I was working, I had very few NYEs off duty. Our usual mode was to find an overpass to park under about 5 minutes before midnight, to protect patrol car and self from the falling bullets. After 12-15 minutes, it was fairly safe to leave cover. Keep in mind, my county spanned 7,200 sq. miles, and more than half is snake ranch between Indio and Blythe. We would still lose 2-5 windshields, door glass, rear windows, or light bars every year due to falling bullets. After sun-up, there would be 5-15 calls reporting holes in house and business rooftops, patio awnings, parked cars, you name it. Ludicrous.
Happy New Year to all, and I do resolve to more more fishing/hunting/shooting than I did in 2018 or 2019. That is not a lofty goal, given the absence of outdoor playtimes the past couple years. But I will strive to make better numbers in 2020.

Never go anywhere on New Years Eve. Don't even stay up for the clock to hit midnight. In bed by ten. Unlike past years, no gunshots at midnight.
Watched some of the college bowl games, helped Cindy make stuffed cabbage rolls, for today's traditional partake.
Happy and prosperous 2020, to everyone.

I fried a couple $1.99 (5 oz) mock filet mignon's and had a glass of California red blend...fried Onions and a wedge of Artisan Havarti on the side.
We have a new convenience store [KwikTrip] that has a lot of interesting things...I think these Filet's are sirloin? but it doesn't say? They are actually quite good.
I really need to start reloading some ammo...it's been a while since I have turned a turret. You guys talked me into getting a Lee Taper Crimp die for 45 ACP, I gotta try it out...yeah it's been that long. I have lots of 41 Mag in WC target loads and some Hot & Heavy rifle loads, but I am out of standard loads in 41 Mag, so that's on the list as well.
Also, there are several rifles I haven't shot in years, I need to look at them ...and decide to either prep them for long term storage or shoot them.
