You could fit our tomato production to date into a large mixing bowl, and we have 61 plants this year. I'm hoping everything produces late so we at least get something. On a more positive note, our pears are about ready, and they look great. I also have a TON of melons and cantaloupe, and honeydew making right now. Had to give them away last year, and we've got 10 times the vines we had last year.Originally Posted by bacpacker

I organized another group buy of shotgun shells so I could top off my stores for cheap!

If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
more 10mm ammo...
They say that the cockroaches will be the last creature alive on this earth.
I intend on being the last person alive still stomping cockroaches.
Been gone for a couple of weeks.
We put on a three day carbine instructor class for 16 of our people. We shot a butt load of ammo at the class. The best part was working in low light and team shoots. Good group of guys.
Conducted a finishing school for the academy. This is all range time to prepare them for their agencies. Lots of shooting around cars and team movements. They will be going off to a profession which is not in the greatest favor any more, to a world very divided.
The garden has come in like gang busters. We are getting shopping bags of string beans, both yellow and green. Lots of freezing we just pickled a bunch for the first time, they are great. Zucs, cucs, and a bunch of other squash have overwhelmed us, our friends are starting to avoid us. Artichokes have been doing well. The large tomatoes are just coming in, the small pear ones are sweet like candy. Melons should be ripe in about a week, with roughly thirty on the vines. Our corn is eight to ten feet tall and just about ripe. When it is done I have a friend who wants it for his cattle so it will not go to waste. Just checked and the apples are coming along just fine, we should have a good crop. All in all this has been the best harvest we have ever had, its nice to be retired to have the time to take care of it all.

So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
Made a dozen jars of pickles, and 6 jars of pear, Apple, pequin pepper jelly it's REALLY tasty.

Put my life in other's hands and went to the public range. Practiced draw/fire, two hand, strong hand and weak hand with about 250 rnds.
Picked up almost a 1/2 a 5 gal bucket of brass! About 100 223, which I already deprimed and resized tonight, started trimming and reaming already... Got lots off 9mm and a good bit of 40 (of which quite a few were mine...). Guy with a bolt just GAVE me his 308, never had to pick it up, had 3 different people help me pick up brass, I have no idea why but I told them "Thank you"...
Got a few 45, not many... but what surprised me was how many 380 I got, damn that stuff is expensive!! Ill deprime and tumble EVERY piece of brass I have and bag it for future, never know when you may want it for trade... 243 and 270 brass in a bag already... Keeping the 308, I will want a Savage bolt one day.
Keeping ALL the 9 I get and processing it.. I am *hoping* to get a G17 maybe next summer. I sure missing shooting a Glock, I like my M&P but the trigger is not near as good as a stock Glock. One day, I want a G21 to add to the collection.. 45 has a sweet recoil impulse, slow and linear.
I need to do that more often but its a 45min trip one way and gas is still pricey for my wallet.

7 jars of peach nectarine jam added to the pile this morning.
