What have you done to prep this week?

[mitunnelrat]

So far this week I've hauled 1.35 tons of sand to my house, picked up a few things from Harbor Freight for work, and mixed just over 1/4 ton of soil for my garden. Now its time to hit the hardware store for fasteners. We organized our nut and bolt bins and have been filling them bit by bit each week. After that its off to Menards for mulch and tomato cages, ending with a scramble to mix as much more garden soil as I can.

I've got one more week to meet our Memorial Day planting goal, and a long way to go.

Oh yeah! ETA a stop at the greenhouse for onion, and maybe some potato

Got some Chore Boy to clean light leading from barrels
Started my new diet & exercise thing (program, lifestyle, etc.. whatever you want to call it).

Me and the wife canned just over 100 jars of chicken meat. I killed and cleaned about 100 broilers and most went into the freezer, but the last 40 of them got canned.

Planted 46 tomatos last night, 12 different types. Will plant peppers, summer squash, cucumbers, and okra tomorrow.

Getting ready to plant some more tomatoes onions, corn and squash. My butterbeans seems to have not made it for some reason, so may try to do them again.

We've had so much rain that even though the raised beds drain better than the yard, the clouds and saturation has caused the tomatoes to get some yellow leaves, and they're really not growing well at all. I've got to feed everything again, I didn't till in dolomite like I knew I should, so I'll get that taken care of, otherwise it's really good soil, so it's gotta be the lack of sun, heat and the water. The good news is, my onions are doing well, I pulled about a dozen today and they're awesome, on average they're around baseball sized. I've also finished making 3 global buckets, and have several more to make. I've made cedar boxes to go around them since you can see them from the street. They sit on a wall and I don't like the look of lowes buckets anyway.

Lil'Bravo and I shot today, about 150 on the .40 (ea) and 120 on the AK (ea). I practiced some 1and1 drills, mag changes, did my draw to fire (4 step) drill going slow-mo to focus on basics. Lil'Bravo has a horrible flinching problem.. she was blaming the grips, etc.. I stacked her a 10 rnd mag with 3 snap caps, sure enough the beast shows it's self. I had her dry fire for a few minutes and then come back to live fire, sure enough.... she rang steel every time.

We have a match this coming Sat (USPSA, her first my second)... I told her to dry fire for 30 min each day and she should be good.

I welcome any further advice. Im going to also run her with dual ears next live fire, ear plugs + ear muffs, she might be sonic sensitive.

Might wanna practice transitioning between targets so she isn't tempted to swing as she transitions.

Good call on the ball and dummy drills. It's amazing how often that is the root of all problems.

I hated seeing a 4" nose dive on the dummy. We re-reviewed follow though too.. Its funny how these little things make such a big difference.

Took my SR1911 and G42 to the range for the first time.
Amazingly the recoil is not that bad from either.
decided to buy some night sights for the G42
