Went out to the dump truck with Duke, way the hell out in the mud puppy which is one of the farthest pastures, about an hour to get out there in a car.
It was freezing this morning. The low last night was 41. Fall is upon us. It feels great.
We took out the busted radiator, and swapped it with the one I picked up from the MZ yesterday. All of the hoses and mounts were completely reverse on the new one, so it tok us a while to jerry rig the thing. In about 3 hours we had it swapped out. The dump truck purred like a kitten. It was such a miracle that it worked, I have no idea how it did.
So we continued hauling loads of dirt over to the water tanks, filling in the foundations, making them solid again. Driving the dump truck and front loader is really fun, but a lot more tiring than you would think. Lots of rocking, banging, and no power steering on the dump, so its a nice arm workout. We did this the whole day. Once we got into a groove, it went really fast.
We packed up our stuff and headed home to cook dinner for the guests and shoot some trap.
We got to may camp, the guests were exhausted and hungry, so we got to cookin. While the meat was cooking, we got out the shotguns and clay pigeons.
I was spot on today, only missed a couple out of 15 or so. It was awesome. I love shooting. Were going hunting for dove tomorrow evening, I cant wait.
One thing did happen though, while we were shooting, I taught one of our swiss girl guests (who’s really cute btw) how to shoot, and she blasted a beer can off a fence post. It was awesome. She handed me the gun and said she wanted to see me do it again, so I taught her how to throw a clay pigeon with the hand thrower. She tossed a practice one and it looked great, so I lined up for a shot and hollered “pull” but no pigeon came.
I looked back, and boom, right in the eye, full speed. All I saw was orange.
I suffered a nice little cut above my eye, some good swelling, and probably a nice shiner tomorrow.
She felt so bad, I couldnt tell her enough it was ok, and it dint hurt that bad. She got me a band aid and some beer. It helped :). I should have asked for her to kiss it... Damn.
Anyways, its all good, it feels ok now, Ill take a pic of it if its nice enough.
We wrapped up there took off back to the bunkhouse, I made some chili, and now Im gonna hit the hay.
No pics from today, sorry, but here are some nice ones Kerstein took while she was here...
