The Redneck's Rants: Neglected blog and weekend work.

So I have shamefully neglected this blog for the past couple of weeks.

Here is an update on some of the things that have been going on.

Last weekend I participated in Ham Radio Field Day.

I helped set up and tear down the Kitsap County Amateur Radio Club field day site.

Worked all week. (Duh)

This weekend I did some weed-eating at the end of the driveway so we can see oncoming traffic before we pull out of the drive.

I don't have the shoulder strap set up on the good weed-eater yet and man is that thing heavy.

Here are some pics of the driveway after I got done.

My right arm had the shakes for an hour after I got done with that.

I have got to get the shoulder strap set up on the weed-eater.

After I had recovered I made a bracelet that a co-workers son had ordered.

I also got the Rossi RS-22 semi-auto sighted in.

My new rifle, a Rossi RS-22 Semi-auto.

I now have a complete set of 22's except for a semi-auto pistol,

22 revolver,
22 bolt action rifle,
22 pump rifle,
22 semi-auto rifle.

Not planning on getting a 22 semi-auto pistol as I don't much care for them.
But I might just to have a complete set.

I would rather get a single action army in 38 cal or 45 cal.

Today I did some work on the walk behind project.

I got the brace for the blade welded up.

And yes, I know the welds look like doo-doo.

It was dead calm when I pulled out the welder and as soon as I started welding the wind started blowing and kept blowing my gas away. (mig welding shielding gas)
