Mountainous Madness

Well I'm back in the mountains, and it is everything I thought it would be. I went up to Steamboat for the night and drank with my friends, then came back down to the house today. I went to the range and dropped the hammer on a live round for the first time in months - it was great. I got my .308 re-zeroed after having the scope serviced, epoxy-bedding the receiver rail, and reinstalling everything. It is still just as boringly accurate as ever, printing >0.25" groups at 100 yards with my handloads. Awesome.

Tomorrow I'm running back over to Steamboat to fish the Yampa river with my new boss. Apparently the Browns are just stupid right now. Ice off is sweet.

Fishing report to follow.

Hey all, sorry I haven't posted in over a week. Between traveling and getting my life in order after a 3 month absence, I've been quite busy. I'm going to make an effort to keep updating as I have time and an internet connection.

Anyway, I'm back in Colorado. It's great to be home! Since my return, I've just been hanging out, brewing some beer with my friends, and preparing for my imminent move up into the mountains. Apparently the water is finally starting to thaw, so the fishing is incredible when you can find it. It's going to be damned cold - but that's why they invented single malt and fur hats, right?

Well, that's all for now. Cheers!

Sly Like a (Swift) Fox

Taken June 10, 2009, on a shooting trip to Pawnee National Grasslands. These adorable little guys are a threatened species and quite rare; also quite curious! They didn't seem to care much that we were shooting, I have lots of pictures of their 7-8 pups tackling each other while we were blasting away (in the other direction, obviously).
