- I should know better than to let Irish Woman loose in a farm supply store with a well-stocked seed display.
- Apparently “Let’s start small” means I’m going to be creating at least half a dozen raised beds to accommodate her ‘small’ garden.
- Tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, summer squash, herb garden, strawberry bed, blackberry and raspberry canes, and six blueberry bushes in planters made from whiskey barrels.
- Irish Woman should know better than to tell me to go away in a farm supply store with a semi-stocked gun counter.
- There were no modern sporting rifles to be had, but there were some AR-pattern shotguns, a few hunting rifles, and a very nice Ruger American in .22LR. They also had quite a few pistols under the glass.
- There was low-end buckshot, some slugs, and some bird shot. A small stack of .22 was present, but was dwindling as I looked at it. No centerfire rifle or handgun ammunition at all, although the nice lady working the counter said that they’d gotten some and had it bought in the first hour of being open that morning.
- There were also cases of MagPul AR and AK magazines, which surprised me
- I had a nice internal conversation while standing at said counter.
- Note to self – That .22 bolt action uses the same magazines as my 10/22.
- Note to self – Boo turns 13 in a couple of months.
- Note to self – A boy needs a rifle all his own
- So, to go with his Mossberg 20 gauge, Boo now has a .22 bolt action. I think that’s a good start.
- Note to self – Dogs do not care that you were up until 4 AM working. 5 AM is time to go out and read the newspaper, and 7 AM is breakfast o’clock.
- I was letting Irish Woman sleep in this weekend. Poor thing got her second Covid19 shot, and it’s made her a bit puny.
- I’ve been a bit of a grouchy zombie all day, but that’s been par for the course around here.
- We got between 4 and 6 inches of snow on top of about 2 inches of ice over the past week or so. I was the weirdo in the neighborhood who was out shoveling while it was still coming down.
- Better to move a little snow 2 or 3 times than to move a lot of snow once.

/ February 22, 2021I’m planting two or three canes, and I have already warned the wife that I will need to be ruthless to keep them in line.
