Happened over time... much time. I have a KIDD Supergrade rimfire. It converts from one rifle to another and anything in between in minutes. Right now it's between the bench and field versions 'cause I want to test the ULW barrel extensively for precision and that's easier to do with the chassis in target mode with target scope. The extremes are a 12# summer bench rifle and a 6# field rifle. Both versions are very precise and accurate in extensive testing for the bench rifle and initial testing with the ULW barrel. I'm the weak link and that's what I want from all my firearms. First scope for the field rifle was a Nikon. It was parallax adjusted to 100 yards. I didn't know and didn't research it deep enough. It was a rimfire scope and I have my ideas on what a rimfire scope should be. Nikon had different ideas. It was totally useless, but nice glass. The next scope was a Burris adjusted to 50 yards. Better but still not right. The next scope was objective parallax adjustable 6-25x but It's really a target scope. I didn't pay much for it 'cause it was discontinued. I thought it would be junk, but it had good reviews. I paid $63 for it shipped with tax. It's not worth the effort to sell it. It's a Veridian EOS. The quality punches way over it's weight class. I was really surprised at how good the glass was. Based on that and not wanting to spend alot, Ebay to the rescue again, and I found a Veridian 4-16x with side adjusting parallax that goes down to 10 yards with good reviews. YES! I don't need the 16x high end (that I know of but it'll be there if needed) but it's more in line with what I need. It'll do. It too punches way over it's weight class in the cost/quality ratio. I took it from FedExs hands the other day. Since it won't be needed until autumn I have plenty of time to get the mounts figured out. I have rings for it (parts box) but I need to figure out how high to get it (trick neck) and still make it easily convertible. Right now it's in 1" high rings and that's not high enough for my neck.

Maine weather changes in a minute. Maybe that's an exaggeration. Yesterday hot, humid and rainy with T-storms. Then around dusk different air came in and that all changed to clear dry air. Today it's in the 70s and very low humidity. Windoews are open to allow the wonderful breeze in. What a beautiful day!

Yeah, I saw that. I guess the locomotive doesn't have a reverse? When in the middle of a fire stay there and bake. Unh huh! Makes no sense to me. Whatever. Yesterday and today temps in the 70s and low humidity. Windows open and life is good and comfy. There's a day of humidity coming then back to this. This is why we moved to Maine. Wayyyy off subject, but did anyone notice the Maine democrat "debates" to find someone to replace the nipple nazi (aka Platner)? Democrat comedy show... It would have been funny if people from away weren't seeing that and getting the wrong impression of Maine. Ashley whoever (the "it" candidate), "I write songs and books...". Yeah, I need that to represent me and make laws. A comedy show put on the national stage, like Maine needs that! I had people calling me to ask me what's up? Looney Tunes! Whatever. Just another sign of the times.

OH WOW! 112*! Not here thank God! I'm guessing it's in the 70s, feels like it. It's trying to clear out from last nights rain. But we could get showers.

Cloudy all day, in the 70s. More rain on the way for tonight.

Yesterday the weather changed to T'storms and rain for most of the day. Right now it's nice but the forecast is for more rain in a bit. Over 2.5" of rain in the last few days. We entered the year in a drought condition, we might be out of that at this point. If not we're really close to being out of it.

It never did rain yesterday but It looked like it was going to open up all day. Today in the mid 60s and white skies. Variable heavy breezes.

Low 70s, Variably cloudy with dark clouds. Rain could happen at any time. Breezy. Other than the possible downpour it's a pretty nice day.

Low 50s and rain today. T'storms in a few hours.

Another nice day. A little warmer than yesterday but very tolerable. Slightly more fair weather clouds. Variable gentle breezes.

Beautiful day today, low 70s and low humidity. Fair weather clouds but mostly blue skies, and a gentle variable breezes.

That's what we get for living under where the humid Gulf air and Arctic air fight it out for supremacy twice a year. Last night another front must have come through. At 0600 the skies opened up and unleashed a torrent. Cooler today and while I have not been outside yet I bet the humidity is even lower than yesterday.

Oh, sorry, central Maineiac.

Pull up a chair and set a spell. You're welcome here.

The last few days have been in the high 80s and very humid. Similar temps today but quite a bit drier. Thunderstorms right now and heavy rain.
