That's awesome Dave! Always great when you get an unexpected (and no doubt well deserved) break! I remember during my kid raising days I only averaged 3-4 hours of sleep a night during the week. I would use one day of the weekend to try and "catch up" and would sleep 12 hours or more. Did that for (too) many years...

Been pretty busy last two weeks on cleaning out drop pans, butchering a half dozen roaster size rabbits and even reconfiguring my cages. Two doe pens sitting next to smaller 24"×24" were attached and turned into doe condos with a pass-through between them.

I mowed around my hayfield and knocked it down so easier to drive around perimeter.

And, slow cooked two roasters and shredded for recipes, barbecue, and freezer. Git abt 8-10lbs of meat.

I almost have the Savage Model 24 pieces refinished. The gunsmith with put the small pieces back in the receiver one of these days, and I will reassemble it.

Well, I made dinner off Pinterest tonight. Shrimp Boil in foil in the oven. I asked Mom if we were part Cajun, because it was awesome!

Red skin potatos, shrimp, sausage chunks, corn on the cob chopped in thirds and split in half, butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and seasoning. 3 out of 3 of us loved it.

Exactly! And my math was wrong or fingers too thick. It was supposed to say 3 out of 4 of us loved it. My 4 yr old won't eat much other than cheddar flavored chex mix, eggs, chicken nuggets, rabbit-chicken meat (which is battered rabbit backstrap chunks), peanut butter, garlic bread, and other cheese flavored chips or snacks. He also refuses to eat ice cream, cake, pizza, or many other good things. He does like fruit.

Yeah... dealing with some kids "likes" and "dislikes" WRT foods can be a real challenge. I mean you want them to get the needed nourishment and at least some good nutrition, but constant battles get old real fast. That sure does look mighty tasty there Dave! :drool

Going to the gunsmith today to reassemble the receiver on the Savage model 24, Over and Under .22cal/.410gua. Once that's done, I will reassemble the rest AND BE DONE! Wooho

Here's what it looks like laid out in parts, but how it will look when done.

I am pretty proud of/pleased with it, as you can tell.
