Kitchen Sink
Nice after 4 days on the trail knowing we had this well provisioned team waiting for us.
.357 girl's son and hubby and if they didn't have it we didn't need it.
John Muir Trail
Here are some pics from the Labor Day trip.
The river shot is our camp the first night and the other is our partner in crime, .357 Girl at Piute creek.
Great trip!
Errant Children
Monday, last,Labor Day we get home from our four days on the John Muir Trail and all is well with the Mountain Shack and our assortment of animals.
When we leave we have a great local teen, (There is not much better than a mountain kid.) who takes care of the livestock while we are gone.
My dog , Madaline, is a getting a little long in the tooth and I worry about her when we leave.
Having lost various cats over the years I worry about our kitties also, but the current crop have hung around a long time so I was surprised when on Tuesday morning said tomcat 'Jack' did not appear for breakfast. He was there when we got home but did not show for the morning meal and that's just not Jack. After a couple of days all hope is lost and Miss Mari is heartbroken.
This cat was the successor to the 'Great Spot', our Manx kitty, the king of all cats who we lost to tainted Chinese cat food. Not that we fed him, but what a good intentioned neighbor put out for him.
We got both Jack and Spot at the same apx. age , when they would both fit inside a coffee cup and Mari became Mom to both of them.
Yesterday as we get ready to go to the sailboat for the last day of boating when who comes strolling up the driveway but tomcat Jack. He endures the tears and enthusiastic homecoming and promptly demands food. Now I have no idea where this cat was for six days but he seems no worse for wear and suffice it to say that all is well again at the Mountain Shack.

Hollywood in a Haze
I can not believe the absolute garbage that LA LA Land continues to fob off on the world, allegedly as ART!
The American, a new George Clooney movie has so many errors in basic firearms handling by this "operator/assassin" that I stopped counting at 15.
Just the fact that Clooney and his girl would have huge 'scope eye' from the rifle bouncing off their forehead as they sent a round down range was enough to reduce me to hysterics.
You only have to see someone with stitches around their eye one time to realize that it is a goodness to have some space between the scope of a high powered rifle and your head.

Not to mention that the Ruger Mini 14 is probably the last weapon that a 'pro' would select for long distance work. Even in the right hands it is a rifle that suffers from reliability and accuracy issues and that is being polite. I like my guns to go bang AND eject the empty AND load the next round every time I pull the trigger.
I'm just sayin.......
