Saturday Stir Fry

Saturday Stir Fry

Verna prepared this wonderful stir fried beef and veggies with rice meal today. I got to help by trimming up the beef from a couple of cuts of tri-tip. Outstanding! Click on the image to enlarge.

Desert Rustica

Desert Rustica

This is the fence that isolates our shooting range from Constellation road. It is typical of many fences in our desert community. Rustic posts and barbed wire keep the large critters out, but small things can come in although the gunfire tends to keep them at bay. Click on the image to enlarge.

Walking The Dogs

Walking The Dogs

We had a rather large dinner this afternoon. As has become tradition, we walk the dinner off by taking the dogs for a walk. Verna took this picture of me carrying Cabela, since the little dog was pulling on the leash so hard she almost knocked me down. I don’t mind carrying her and neither does she until she sees something she wants to take a close look (or sniff). Click on the image to enlarge.

Shooting Fat Man

Shooting Fat Man

Verna took this photo of me shooting “Fat Man,” my Glock 30, .45 caliber pistol, at the range a couple of weeks ago (note the ejected brass flying out of the breech). We were shooting at the target posted on our new home-built target stand. We also shot Verna’s 9mm S&W 908s and our new Wyndham Weaponry AR-15 .223 caliber carbine. We had a lot of fun that day.

Next week we will be heading down the Cabela’s in Glendale to pick up some ammo and cleaning supplies for the new rifle. We also will be getting some home maintenance stuff from Lowe’s while we’re down in the west valley. The dogs will be getting baths and a Bear cut. đŸ˜‰ Click on the image to enlarge.
