Did another round of snow cleaning to thoroughly finish up. Gotta make sure I do a thorough job because its forecasted to snow again in 2 days from now.

Going to go around the corner, at 5pm, for a small Super Bowl get-together.
 
I've come up with a more logical way of hauling my kayak instead of cutting up my kayak rack.
My kayak is 10'-6" and from the corner bottom on one side to the top corner on the opposite side of the camper, it is 10' - 8".
I bought a little rack that I mounted on the back of the camper I'll use to set the kayak in and the strap it to the opposite side of the camper on top. Should work perfectly and I can pull it up with a rope through the eyelet I already installed. The taillights will be clear so it will be perfectly legal.
Then I can winch the little ATV trailer I built up on my ATV and strap it down for hauling.
 
I took advantage of the first warm day in a while and tested the warranty replacement Henry pump-action .22 rifle I got back a couple of weeks ago. We had about three inches of new wet snow last night so I did some shoveling at my club's range before shooting.

The rifle did well and I was pleased. My 65-year-old eyes don't do all that well with iron sights but I managed a couple of decent 25-yard 10-shot groups. The flyers are my fault; not the rifle or ammo.

That's some really good shooting, with iron sights, at that distance, Bob!

Thanks. It turned out to be an accurate little rifle in the end. When I decided to purchase the rifle, I couldn't find one anywhere in my area so I ordered it from a large Internet gun shop. The rifle I received was very inaccurate. Close examination showed the muzzle had been counterbored at the factory for some reason and the crown was a mess. Henry is known for their excellent customer service, so I sent it to them.

Other than an acknowledgement of receipt, I didn't hear from them for over two months. When it finally got it back, it was a new barreled action with my original, ugly buttstock on it (the buttstock had a distinctive, thin, ugly knot running through the wrist on one side). The replacement barrel lacked the gold fill in the lettering that is a "feature" of Henry arms. But it shoots well...

Overall, I'm not all that happy with it. It turns out that their expensive little pump rifle has more or less the same internals (including plastic) as their famous lever guns instead of being designed as a pump from the start. Long story short, the pumping action is somewhat difficult.

Normally, I'd mount a scope to sight in and test a new rifle. The Henry has a built-in 3/8' dovetail for mounting a rimfire scope on the "receiver," which has a painted Zamak 5 (zinc alloy), not blued steel, cover. I didn't want to risk damaging the painted finish by mounting a scope I'd later remove.

There are only a couple of choices for a new .22 pump rifle and the Henry seemed like the best choice. It looks nice and it is a shooter, so I guess I can live with it.

I got them all cleaned up and organized yesterday.
 
I installed new line in my weed eater. In a couple weeks, I'll change the oil in my mower. Then I'll be doing a little manual fish finding in my kayak.
