57 now. 92 later

Some were used as a one person saw, but that was mainly for bucking logs, not falling.

Nice Saw! My dad has one like that on the wall in the garage. Also, did a little competing in college with a similar saw. Congrats again!!

Lower 50's this am, fog in certain spots. Had some thunder storm activity last evening - the air has a nice crisp, fresh feel this morning. Heading to 88 this afternoon.
-
Sunny and 72, moderate wind blowing. Still heading to the mid 90's during the week

Overcast and 55 right now. Clearing and heading to the high 70's later today. Ramping up into the 90's next week.

Maybe a plastic owl nearby?

Low 50's this am, heading to 92 this afternoon. Not a cloud in the sky, a really nice early summer day. Cooling off into the 80 the rest of the week.

I have used the same one as Fred. It is not a laser but helps get you "on target" quicker. Around here, you bring in you scope, rifle and mounts and most sporting goods store will mount your scope and bore sight it for you, especially if you buy one or more of the components at their store.

The recipe said to flavor to taste

Very cool!

That makes sense. I have never shot a pellet or bb gun in competition. My shooting of them were usually from 10 to 50 yards, sometimes more. Those longer ones were usually trick shots
-
Since I shoot a lot of centerfire rifles, .270 and larger, I do not worry about disturbing the rifle between shots or groups, since the recoil does enough of that. I use sand bags or towels (usually bags) to keep the rifle as steady as possible when sighting and squeezing the trigger. It is weird the instructions say to sight in at 33 yards when the scope is a 1/4" adjustment. I sight my rifle in at 25 yards (easy math to adjust the scope) and the zero point comes back around 225 to 250 yards for the centerfire rifles I use (the old Jack O'Conner method). Depending on the average range your boy will be shooting, you may want to sight in a little high if he will be shooting longer ranges. That also depends on the rifle's trajectory.

45 and partly cloudy. High today near 65. High to be 90 by Tuesday. Had some much needed rain yesterday
-
I make the adjustments without looking through the scope. The biggest thing to remember is what each click of adjustment means. If, 1 full click equals 1" at 100 yards, and you are sighting in at 50 yards, then 1/2 click equals 1". Can you post a picture of the s ope turrent so we can see what it says about its adjustments?

Welcome back! Get well stop eating roadkill stew

We just harvested about 100 of them last week (winter crop).

This is what got me this morning - Almost everyday, MSN has a "This Day in History". D-Day was not mentioned! The of the battle of Midway was, but not D-Day. This had a separate article, but nothing on This Date in History.

I would go with #1 on both

Good Monday Morning Patriot Woodworkers! June 4, 2018
Chips N Dust replied to John Morris's topic in General Woodworking
Rodeo and chores over the weekend. Wife flew out this AM for training at corporate so I have a week of WOW (With Out Wife). Not sure what I will do or get done yet, hopefully some time in the shop, but we will have to see what happens. What I planned at work for this week went to crap by 6:45 AM, so I am back to improvising and adapting so I can overcome. -

Currently 55 heading to 75 today. Not supposed to get above the mid 80's this week, no rain

Who We Are
We are a woodworking community with an emphasis on sharing and learning the skilled craft of woodworking and all of its related disciplines. Our community is open to everyone who wishes to join us. We support our American veterans and active duty, being a veteran is not a prerequisite to join. Join us now!
Objective
Of course just like most online woodworking communities we are centralized in the arts, crafts, and trades that are woodworking. But, we have another focus in our Patriot Woodworker community, we are the only woodworking community that was founded on our care and concern for our disabled veterans.
Volunteer
The Patriot Woodworkers are an all volunteer community, from the staff and hosts who run our online woodworking community to the members who frequent our forums, you'll find volunteers in all of us. We are not on a payroll, unless you consider the spiritual rewards gained from volunteering, as compensation.
Education
One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor.
