After yesterday’s debacle, I was fueled with lots of restless anger and it found outlets.
I woke up to tree down in my rural driveway. I used both electric and regular chainsaw to cut it up and stacked it to season. Being a lady over 50, I find the electric chainsaws to be much lighter, but they don’t have the listing power needed. I am very fond of Stihl. I gave multiple batteries.
I then cooked breakfast from scratch on my wood stove, powered by my own . I am getting very good at this. Yes, I have a nice regular stove but I am practicing. The omlette was very good.
Still a bit peeved, I went to a gun range. A leo friend has recommended the range. First time there, the guys (all guys) looked at me a bit dubiously. I showed my retired military ID plus marksman credentials and then retrieved my 9mm from my SUV. Being a newby, they observed my first few rounds etc for safety etc. A little later, I had several nice groupings from different distances and positions. I took a couple targets home and hung on the laundry room as DIY Art. My new friends from the gun range put some bumper stickers and nice sayings on the paper targets.
The gunpowder, lead, gun oil and my lavendar tonic make for a nice perfume. After I finished shooting and cleaning my weapon, I went out for a beer with one of my gun range friends. Alas, I think I am out of the DIY/by scratch deal as I had a beer and munchies. Lol.
