Anti-Communism Week

Something to celebrate this week, long overdue Anti-Communism Week!

Massive Storm

This weekend northern Arizona got hammered by a huge storm.  Flooding was reported all along the Verde River including I-17.  We made it through ok and the newly laid rock helped save the driveway.

Scared Dog

Lily is afraid of fire and hides in the closet when we get the fireplace going.  We bought her a nice bed so she is comfortable.

ADM Prep

I haven't done alot of shooting competitions but I really like them so will probably do more.  I signed for the ASRPA ADM.  The course of fire goes from 300 to 200 to 100 yards (yes, in reverse).  All shots are prone and you must use a backpack as a rest (no bipods).  I have practicing the setup and getting my rifle scoped in.

Erosion Control Project

I got a lot of rock laid alongside the upper part of the driveway.  There is rain forecast for later this week so it will get a test.

Big Storm Weekend

The remnants of Rachel moved through Prescott over the weekend.  We got very high winds and several inches of rain.  Also started our first fireplace fire of the season.  Time to get to work on my driveway erosion problem.
