What Did You Do Today?

[Stringman]

My cousin just bought his first airplane and stopped through on his way from Cali to NC. I asked him if he'd give us a ride before he took off for home.



My daughter's first plane ride.

I will probably do a separate post for this, but yesterday...

In the morning I made my first batch of Indian fry bread. In the morning I made it similar to an elephant ear w/ powdered sugar and cinnamon, but while making that up I had another idea.

In the evening, I made up some venison burger w/ left over rice and swiss chard. Made my dough, rolled out my fry bread and added the meat mix and folded over the dough and crimped like a pie w/ a fork. My boys didn't like the mix, so I made them both a long burger and did the same for them, added cheese and ketchup and mustard then put it in the hot oil.

I'm tellin you what, I gotta get off this computer for fear of getting saliva all over the key board. No kiddin.

I kept one back for lunch today to see how they pack and eat the next day. These babies have no limit and if they pack good would make great hunting food or packing grub.

Fry bread!  I can hear my artieries clogging already!

There was a vendor at a Pow Wow in North Dakota that was selling what they called a "Half Breed" long time back.  It was fry bread taco, folded around diced ham and cheese!  Greasy goodness!

That's pretty cool Scott.  My first plane ride was in a small one like that when I was around 14 or 15.  I don't remember much about the ride.  I had my girlfriend in the back seat with me and I was distracted

Had a good goof off day; Went to the local flea market looking for an anvil and draw knives, found none but did run into a bunch of the old guys I worked with before I retired, spent a lot of time talking.

Later I changed out the factory sights on my new Ruger Single Six to High Viz sights, what a difference! I plan to use the pistol in 22 mag for my future armadillo hunts. At 30 yards resting against a tree, if I did my part, I could shoot a 1" group with the gun. If I got a little sloppy on my trigger pull my group would expand to almost a foot.

Later I decided to unload my flintlock which has been loaded since about November of last year. I took an off hand shot at 30 yards(I shoot lousy off hand). I flinched, snatched the trigger, had a bit of a hang fire and missed the target by almost 2 feet, pitiful. This poor performance got me fired up so I reloaded Mr Beck and tried again, only missed the bull by 3" this time, still not good enough.  On my last try I was about 1" off, good enough so I cleaned my flinter and put it up.

I cut up a bunch of cleaning patches with my roller fabric cutter and called it a day.

Running the wood stove, our house is dry. I cook it off on the wood stove. W/ the warmer, nonfreezing weather, it gets a bit hot in there though. Had to have some windows open Sunday and Monday while it cooked.

I picked some oranges and squeezed out 8 quarts of fresh juice and got an osage shooting. Now I just have to pretty it up.
