    Spent today pruning fruit trees and vines, working on my grape arbor (actually made better progress with it than I was expecting to). Also have been working on getting some seed orders together, planning out what will get started under lights, and early planning on the garden.

    Turned lots of dirt today in preparation for onions and taters. Turned, pulled some weeds and amended other beds. A customer gave me a bunch of seed tapes that we're gonna plant tomorrow as well. Goal is 100 lbs of onions this year, got about 70 last year.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Planted 3 kids of onions. Would've been done today, but have a small ant mound I need to take care of before I get them planted.

    I got my first batch ever of 223 loaded tonight, pushed out 25 rounds to run over the chrono and check the accuracy.

    If the first few are good, Ill burn the rest up whilst doing a snoopy dance.

    This afternoon, I vacuum marinated about 2 lbs of thin sliced beef sirloin in a 50/50 mixture of Dales sauce and Baby Rays BBQ Sauce for about 8 hrs. Then I filled up 4 trays on the dehydrator, and the whole house smells edible. Can't wait to dip into that jerky.

    Rainy day schedule so reloading is in. Had a friend come over and I taught him how to reload using a single stage press. It has been a long time since I loaded handgun loads on a single press, usually do it on my progressive, it was slow. We go 300 45 ACP loaded and he went home happy. He has about 2000+ to do and will come back in a few weeks when the progressive is fixed. It was good for him to learn the basics.

    My progressive press needs to be repaired so hopefully the part will arrive this week. So yesterday I ended up loading 200 45 Long Colt since my supply on those were low. Started cleaning brass in preparation of the progressive being fixed. I repaired my other tumbler so this will give me two now and allow me to clean 2,400 rounds of pistol brass at a time.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    What powder and load did you use? What grain bullet are in front of your loads? I have yet to reload any .223 but have about 120 rounds of brass, primes and some Varget that a buddy gave me.

    Edit. This was my first time mixing the steak sauce with the BBQ sauce. I should have mixed 25/75 sauce to BBQ as the jerky came out OK, but a bit salty, and lacking any BBQ flavor

    Inventoried my seeds yesterday, figuring out what I need/want to order.
