Day 18 - More Wood and perfect weather

Sunday is a day of rest...for most.

The morning was spent cutting and splitting wood. The splitting was done the way we used to do it when we were kids, no hydraulics.

The ladies also engaged by moving brush to the burn pile, which was still burning from the night before, and stacking the blocks.  Everyone helped...but me but I took pictures.










After the wood job, most of us took a nap since we all had a late night Saturday.

When you visit brother Randy, it is traditional that one visit the range at least once. Since we had nothing on the agenda, Randy, Joe, Gabe, Fred, Rich and Cass did just that.

Randy was a flight instructor in the Air Force and he immediately goes into instructor mode when he hits the range.  Cass got some first class instructions.

She caught on pretty quickly.

Randy has an M1, standard issue for US soldiers in WWII, it is considered lightweight, I am not so sure.











The session was ended with "Softball" which is a game where you race softballs up a hill by shooting them with a pistol.  Joe won on a technicality, Gabe exhausted his entire ammo supply.  Brother Randy thought he brought plenty of ammo, he underestimated how much fun everyone was having and what terrible marksmen everyone was.  Randy loads nearly all his own ammo, he has some serious reloading ahead of him.

We returned back to the house where Sue and June had the dinner table all set and we had a very nice steak dinner.

It was a good day.

Monday we are going to Savannah to spend the night.
