How I spent my quarantine vacation

OH PLOW BOY ON A FARM USING A COMPUTER GO FIGURE I LUCKY TO GETTER HER GOING LET ALONE TYPE BUT I'M GETTING BETTER :D:D
 
Yep! Broke out the ar for the bedroom.

Me too. Funny story.... Friday morning, in the wee hours, both my wife and I were awakened by loud banging and crashing. I jumped up and grabbed my AR and, dressed in my civvies, went to investigate. I was thinking jeez, are the home invasions starting already?. Turns out the cat got stuck in the laundry room and was jumping against the door to get out.
BTW: when you're 60 something, wee hours of the morning takes on a whole new meaning.

Same story here. But it was the dog in the trash at 3 A.M. AR took a trip.
 
My coronavirus vacay?

Tested a new load for my 7mm RemMag. This Tikka T3x Lite (sporter contour) never fails to impress me... oh and she has about 1500 rounds down the tube...

R-P brass 3-4 firings, 68.5gr Reloder 26, Berger Classic Hunter 168 Hybrid, Federal 215 Match primers. 0.001" neck tension. 0.020" jump.

Ive packed my keltek 32 in my pocket for so many years I have to remember to clean the dust bunny’s and rust from sweat off it every once in a while so it will still function in the case I may need to use it,hoping it wears out in my pocket without ever needing to use it but I feel good knowing I have it just in case!

Me too. Mine looked like it had been thru the dryer vent!

I loaded all my 17 FB and K hornet. Now have 1000 each. And did 300 30 Carbine for s and g's. Have 1000 sized 308 and 3000 more to size, then clean, trim and load them ALL. Got 100 7Mag, 100 243, 100 PPC ready to load.
and since my range is closed, I am thinking of a Glock airsoft to shoot steel in my back yard! That will keep the neighbors at a social distance....

Yeah I had that with one of those stick on lights in the pantry. 2:30 am & I was scrambling on my knees & shoving the phone in the wife's face to call 911. Cleared the house & didn't find it till breakfast. Kinda gets the ticker goin when you're over 70. LOL That was our exercise for the day.

After three days of work for me, and two nights for my wife, an ER RN, we are talking more than we ever have, creating wills, and showing our love for our three girls more than ever. I may be ordering too much junk, changing any AR over from hunting to short, compact systems and getting ready for who knows what, but there is good coming from all this. It's funny, two combat tours to the desert, never wanted a will, but you can't shoot your way out of this one.

The older girls have stopped bickering so much, the middle girl wants to go burn up some 22s, and we have a better understanding of how their learning processes are. The toddler is getting into a new routine without daycare.

To help unwind, my wife even said she with would help use her super organizational talents to get my reloading area squared away, so it's a good quarantine for us so far.

God bless you and you're wife for your work!. If you are familiar with Lean, Six Sigma practices, my wife and I did a 5s on my gun room a while back. Made a big difference.

Just ran through the wiki page of this concept. I don't foresee myself going lean with anything down there and the clutter aspect is that's how I function. My stuff is a mess, but I can tell you basically where anything and everything is. Very seldom do I lose things, I just know the pile it's in.

I've been going strong ordering supplies I've been putting off as I pursued more bench and hunting oriented activities, so back to my roots with tactical bulk gear. Sending a 14.5" barrel to my father to get pinned and welded once the gas block shows up.
 
I am still on quarantine vacation. My husband and I bought an RV, fully equipped it, bought pillows, a new mattress, bought dishes, lots of ammunition, and much more. Now we ride around the country, every weekend we go out of town and practice shooting.
