Gun range here is any deer in the back 80.
Plans for today (2025)
- Thread starter Morning Glory
- Start date
Did the pancakes. Made a tomato sauce for pasta. Used some left- over minced meat to stuff a couple of round, yellow squash ( in the oven as I write). Cauliflower poached and a cheese sauce to be made in a moment for cauliflower cheese.Made a load of rice ( rice is the first carb in Venezuela). The aubergine parmigiana will have to wait for tomorrow, as will the unknown curry I'm going to make with the bits and pieces in the vegetable drawer.

I wish I had a back 80! I'm lucky enough, at least, that one of the nicest gun clubs in the state is 10 minutes from my house. They have rifle, handgun, and archery ranges, competition rifle and handgun ranges, indoor smallbore and handgun ranges in the clubhouse, plus a tactical range for classes and events, archery field courses, they shoot trap and sporting clays, and they own ~200 Acres, so members can also hunt and fish on the property. I'm a gun guy, so I love it! But, if they have big events, or I just want to be alone, I also belong to a little hole-in-the-wall gun club tucked back in the woods 10 minutes in the other direction. Their facilities are pretty spartan, but it's rare that anyone else is there. I try to get to one or the other once a week. Up until this year, I was competing in the High Master class of NRA/CMP High Power Matches, but this year I felt a little burned out and have been pursuing other interests.
Rifle range at the nice club (25-50-100-200 yard positions available).
One of the handgun pits in at the nice club.
Today's eclectic selection, lol. I shot probably 400 rounds of mixed 9mm, .38 Spl, and .357 Mag.
The other club's rifle range. It's much smaller, there's no covered roof, and you have to pull carpet remnants out of a barrel to line the concrete shooting benches, since they don't have rubber mats like the nice club. But, when no one else is there, you can go prone forward of the firing line or walk downrange to do tactical drills.
Anyway, my laundry room base cabinet is now mounted and plumbed. I still need to build the framework for the above washer/dryer countertop, as we have a guy coming this week to do final measurements to install quartz countertops. I also need to get on the cabinet makers website and order all of the crown molding and trim.
Now, on to that dinner I want to make...

Nice range! 'Vegas had a nice one I belonged to but when ammo prices surged I quit shooting just to shoot.
Plumbing looks good.
