Dad's 64th Birthday

We celebrated Dad's birthday at Smokey Bones. We had a good time and the food was good too! Here are the pix

The Great Wabbit Hunt

The kids were out of school this last week so I took vacation and we just stayed at home and worked and played. I took the kids rabbit hunting on Friday, Trevor had his BB gun, Drew had a .410 (Dwight's), Alysha had a .410 (Grandpa's). We jumped one rabbit behind the house (didn't have a shot), then we found him huddled under some weeds and Drew got a shot from about 8' away, I spent about 1 1/2 hrs digging the shot out! Alysha spotted a rabbit but it was in tall weeds and didn't get a shot, she was a bit disappointed. Drew helped skin the rabbit and Trevor played with the head and hide and would have kept it to take to school to show the rest of the kids if I would have let him. Here are the pix

Dominos....

Drew and Trevor were playing with the dominos tonite and did a cool little setup.

Yogo SKS

I had bought this old Yogoslavian SKS model 59/66 military rifle. It is 7.62x39 caliber, 10 shot. It had a wood stock and was a bit gunked up with cosmoline. I stripped it all down, degreased, reblued and put a black composite stock on it. . The blueing went really dark almost a black. I thought it turned out pretty decent. Pix here

The Cat!

Had large black roaming around the homestead. It appeared a bit larger then the average barn cat. Teeth look bigger and the head seems a bit different also.

Pictures are here. They have a bit of blood in them......

Its starting......

The tree goes up! The kids had a grand time decorating the tree and the rest of the house.
