Me and Patrick spent a little time practicing with the new Walther pistols and then doing some medium range metal targets with the rifles. I found that I’m way more accurate than in the past. Like 9 out of 10 hits on the metal targets at 200 yards in a decent cross wind. The only thing I can attribute it to is my Keto diet. They say keto reduces inflammation, and I could really notice that i could easily keep the crosshairs on the target. Anyways, it was a blast, gotta get the 500 yard targets setup again.

Winter wheat is liking the cool misty rain, really popping now.

My son doing an Appalachian trail through hike is coming off the trail for a little R&R. Looks a little rough with the beard and probably lighter by about 10 pounds. Great to have him around again.

Emily moving the chickens to the semi-perm coop in the barn. These are the three chicks that had their tail feathers plucked out by the bullies in the group.

Started building the chicken tractor this weekend. The chicks are feathering out fast and will be much happier out in the grass I think. The plans I purchased are pretty good, I just wish I followed them with a little more attention to detail. A couple of notable screw-ups but the basic structure is finished and I was able to move it down to the barn to avoid the coming rain. Mom and Dad came out Sunday and helped with the assembly, good to get the old folks our from in front of the TV and into the fresh air.
