Some video from norther Ontario, guys seem pretty chilled.

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.

The longer video I saw it looked like another train was coming the other way and it sounded like they were telling them to hurry the fuck up!!!

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!

Wasn't that bad this morning. 102* when I was going through this process, and I stayed only as long as necessary. Didn't check the temp when I was rolling out of there. I was gone by 0852 on the clock on the car. Got through the wash, made the turn, going down the road - realized I never grabbed by 25 pieces of brand new Lake City brass. Turned around, grabbed it off the ground, was out again at 0858.

Important weather stats this morning:

Temp = 102" // Pressure = 29.65 in/hg // Alt - 1425 AGL // Density Alt = 4650 // Humidity = 29.7%. That temp and that lower humidity messes with DA ALOT!

MV over 25 shots, AVG 2605 fps, SD was 15.4.

Don't really need to do a dope chart, because it's a BDC scope - won't be any dialing. Important thing was getting it zero'd 1/2" high at 100, so everything else in the reticle matches up further out. Got the offset irons zero'd for 36 yards. 25 rounds for both zero sessions - then GONE!
