High Paul,
I haven't been to hte range but I've popped 3 Ghogs in het backyard so far.  And I've taken up shooting the damn wood borer bees that keep hovering over my deck.  Shooting them on the wing is challenging and fun. Started doing that yesterday and got 3 in about 25 tries.  Getting better at it, since they only hover stationary for couple seconds before moving you have to be quick.  Using a crossman 760 pump, 3 pumps is plenty but I had to adjust elevation on the irons.  once that was accomplished I started tagging them pretty quickly.

Haha! Nice on the bees. They're already out in force here. I'll have to give that a try myself. 

I've got a membership over at Palmyra now, and hope to get over there tomorrow. Been once so far. It's an absolutely gorgeous facility. Tons of space and different courses inside and out.

The Africanized strains were not affected to the same degree as the true Europeans... but still are affected. There have been some virus / fungal disease issues but also a Varroa mite involvement. The decline was referred to as CCD (Colony Colapse Disorder) and along with the aforementioned issues, weather, nutrition (timing), pesticides, etc have been mentioned as involved. It's a complex issue.

Hey Paul.  It's suddenly very warm, and I hear it's supposed to be another dry scorcher this summer, so we may as well start getting acclimated (to the extent anyone can get accustomed to 108*).  Maybe the 100* temps will hold off at least until late June.

How are things up in the Keystone commonwealth?

Not to bad right now, thanks! Work was EXTREMELY busy over the 4th quarter last year and the first 3 months this year but it has tapered off a little bit which makes for a nice break. 

Hoping to do a lot more shooting this year with ammo prices becoming reasonable again (at least in the major calibers) and now having a membership with a local sportsmans club. 

I hear ya on the heat. I miss a lot of things about Texas and the south in general but that's not one of them lol. Been in the 60's and a few days in the 70's so far in April. Been a nice change of pace to the horrible winter we had.

Mornin comradesHowdy

Clear skies, and temp.s in the 40s, might get to 60* today.

UPS just made an emergency landing with no incident. The hose noses are orgasimizing all over the place.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Nice! Be sure to put a picture or 2 if you can after she's installed. 

Saw a really nice 5.0 a few days back going by my work. There must have been a car show as a bunch of nice rides we're rolling by.

Paul, isn't your Mustang silver?

You need to check out The Mustang Source web site, and the Silver Mustang Registry web site. Lots of good info there.

I DO NOT like the new Stangs. Way to European and multiple articles speak on how the engineers wanted to change the style and handling to fit the European market. Those fusion grills....Thumbs Down

There are things I like about the 2015 Mustang. It is a technical leap forward that was needed to compete with Dodge and Chevy, but the styling just seems to be lacking for a Mustang.
