My first Project for the Blog

So here is Brandons  Winchester 22lr he found in a dumpster.

Ya what a score!

It had some issues feeding the rounds due to a dent in the ammo tube. He pretty much had it fixed but I went ahead an disassembled the tube and worked it out all the way. I guessing whom ever pitched it was an Idiot.

Well I offered to do a paint job on it since he liked the one I did on my 22 last summer. It was pretty rough looking and needed a face lift. In return I got some free cleaning done on my guns. 

Before the project started

After the primer and base coat

Being winter still, I didn't have any broad leaves to work with just evergreens and twigs.

I was a little bummed about that but made it work.

-primer, black, tan, forest green, then earth brown- 

Finished product minus the action. I still need to put that back in after a good cleaning.

And yes that is a Praying Mantis in red on my buddies rifle its my TM and a shameless plug.

Flying Solo

Today was my first full day without Tara. For those of you who know this blog exists she is in Vegas till Thursday then off to Portland until she returns back to the Promise land Monday afternoon. So here is what has transpired in about 36 hours. Roman choked himself until he barfed on the island. What caused this you wonder?  Well he decided to force an entire slice of deli ham in his mouth. The island was my idea... it was closer than the sink and gonna be much easer than the carpet to clean. I knew he was gonna blow on the next heave due to the gurgle sound so I reacted like a fat kid on a diet and said screw it and held him over the island like any self respecting father would do. The best part was the look on Zach's face as he witnessed the whole thing. With his pb&j half in his mouth and in a throaty voice he said dad i'm gonna throw up.  Dang! I almost got a two for one special. That was dinner night one. Today Lily peed in her pants as I was buckling Roman into his car seat. WHAT THE CRAP!  Enough said about that. No one has been hurt or lost yet. Also I didn't get woken up 3 times while being told to role over because I was snoring to loud.

PS I hope to start a project tonight after the kids go to bed or tomorrow.
