Back to the grind

Seems like I haven't been in the gym in over a year. I guess it's just been since last week, but already I feel like I've lost everything and become a normal 30-something butterball. It hasn't all just been laziness. I thought I had ruptured a portion of my hamstring on my right leg from doing hamstring curls (of all things) last week. A couple days after the workout I had a nice big feverish knot behind my knee and it killed me to move my leg. Then Monday night I destroyed my right ankle while cleaning out my barn. Turns out it's difficult to do squats or dead lifts when one whole leg is useless. I'm going in for a bench workout this afternoon. I think by Friday I'll be healed up enough to pull again.
After my workout I'm going to attend my first Colonial Hill Baptist Church Men's shooting club. some guys put it together last year, but I knew nothing about it. today is the first day for this season. apparently, it's a group of guys that get together once a month, pray, and have contests shooting 22 cal. pistols. could be interesting. The really funny thing is that within the last year I've owned two of the best target 22's you can buy. the Walther P22 and the Ruger charger. Now I'm down to a 1953 H&R 22 revolver and a High Standard H-D Military that belonged to our grandmother. The revolver works well but it's not exactly a target gun. The other one is much more interesting. I haven't shot in since I was in high school and I remember it jamming pretty bad then. I did a little research on it and it turns out it is a great target gun and supposedly very reliable. I'm going to give it a good stripping and cleaning at lunch today. could be all it needs to work like a champ. I don't expect to win any medals. I think there will be a couple of ex-cops and a retired Texas Ranger. Despite those egos, I'm sure it will be a good time.

As far as hunting the land around my house: I just got permission on Tuesday to annihilate the herd of pigs on the property. You need to come down and bag some pork.
