I decided to try a new old place to practice my skills

Until they get things back up and running in our old range building, I decided to go across town and see what Monday nights are like here.They've been around a while, that's for sure :)

Pepper likes the warmth of the fish tank…

20 round hockey shootout!

Last weekend, the Cyclones ended regulation play in a tie so they went into a seven minute sudden death overtime (first goal wins) playing three-on-three plus the goalies.  However, it was still tied at the end of that! So they went into a shootout where each team picks a player to try a 1:1 shot against the other goalie starting at center ice. Each team gets an even number of tries.  The visiting team (top) went first. Here were the tallies for all the shots.  What an edge of your seat kinda game! 🏒🥅

Stopped by for a mug of Joe

I was on the way home from the range with a bunch of mail to sort.  I decided to stop and warm up with some Grogg! :) I like these mugs they have.  The red Boston Stoker logo is a great place for your thumb. 

Reheating instructions for a Percy cat…

Heat for one minute then stir.  Heat another 30 seconds at a time then stir and repeat until done…

I had to pull my brother in-law out…

He borrowed my trailer.  When he brought it back, his off-road SUV with street tires was no match for the mud.  Luckily, I know a guy with a Jeep nearby 🤪

Everything I have looks like this…

…often covered in mud or dirt.  Bikes, Jeeps, ATVs, watches, even ME, hahahaha.

I realized I can clean Zoe off on our rides…

When she gets all muddy from running beside me, a quick trip through the edge of the full pond cleans her right up, mostly… She seems to love it too.

It was a little slippy out there last week…

I had to drive through the pond to get around it!

The bond is so full that Zoe and I couldn't fit between the bushes and the edge of it, so I had to put my bike wheels in it to get us by.  Nice!
