From the Desk of John Rourke – December 13th, 2016

 

Watched a pretty good movie on Netflix the other day – Waffle Street. Kind of a “feel good” movie. Worth seeing.

I am still completing my shed to make it livable. Part of the project is installing a solar-powered LED motion light outside near it. I picked one up on Amazon and it works great. I couldn’t ask for much more considering I paid like $15.00 for it. Great security light. Worth noting my two huskies run by it and do not set it off. It takes a human sized object to activate it.  Check it out HERE.

Nicholas Cage has got to be one of the worst actors I have ever seen.

Figured I’d share a few pictures from hunting this past weekend. Although we didn’t see any deer it’s always good to get out in the woods.

Driving to the tree stand in my Jeep about 5:40am:

Here’s a shot of my and my son’s rifles after we came down from the stand this past Saturday:

    Noticed your photos of son’s rifles. Most people where I live use slug guns with Sabot slugs or shotguns with slugs. I’m always interested in why people choose different guns to hunt with. Rifles vs Slugs?

      vandal67 – I do not know anyone that uses a shotgun for deer around here. Likely the possible ranges involved are a factor – and accuracy over that range. In the stand we were in a maximum of 200 yards was possible. A shotgun would not be good for that range.

    Harbor freight for good priced solar lighting…I just installed two motion detect 60 LED floods inside my race car trailer for lighting, panels on roof adjusted for wind shear. My trailer has almost become a rolling bug out shack. Fans, lighting, 120ac inverter for tools, all solar. Cooler, hammock for naps. D.

    Glad you got out to the woods JR. Spending time with you son is what’s important, getting a deer would just be dessert to a family outing. I have a 10 year old Grandson that I spend as much time with as I possibly can regardless of what we are doing.

    vandal67-When I lived in Ohio, we were not allowed to use rifles, we could only use shotguns. Something about being too populated and flat!
