Random Stuff

Spent 2 hours trimming weeds around the deck this afternoon and realized that I hadn't blogged in quite awhile. So I thought I'd share a few bits of random stuff.


Here's one of our little dragons out on the hunt. These little dudes (or dudettes) spend most of the day sunning themselves, but they are also voracious insect eaters. A few of them are finally getting used to the idea that we come and go and don't have any interest in eating them!







This is a breakfast fritatta that I whipped up awhile back. It came out really nice!











This is the view of 12 lbs of wings just before they went on the fire pit. We munched on them while watching the Daytona 500 on Sunday and Monday. What a bizarre race that turned out to be!







Lightnin and I are putting some final touches on stuff inside the house and then we'll take pictures to give sort of a photo tour of the place in the near future!

Breakfast Fortified with Gunpowder and Lead!

Our friends Rick and "Netter" came down from the frozen tundra of Missouri to visit this past weekend. Along with some sightseeing, catching up on things, good food, and laughter, we took some time to visit my good friend FC's firing range. I've been wanting to get my new weapon sighted in and we finally had a chance to do so with some expert advice from both FC and Rick.

The day started out a bit chilly here, lower 60's (F), so we dressed accordingly, but as we got going it warmed up nice. The first order of business was to get the new weapon sited in so we could then move on to some practice shooting with the entire selection of weaponry.

It might be pink, but it gets the job done!






















Glad to have her as my backup!
















Everyone got their chance to see what they could do



























It was a good time and many thanks to FC for letting us have some time on his range! Maybe we need to rent a Bobcat to build one of these at our place!

More pictures from the rest of the weekend to come soon!
