Whatcha Got Going On 2026

Another year has gone by and 2026 is here so time to start another general thread.

The weather has been up and down here.  No rain or snow but temperatures have been from 7* to 75* this month.

I didn’t get a deer tag this year or last due to my Spondylosis.  I had a pretty bad time dragging her the 70 yds to my truck and couldn’t lift her into my truck.  I finally took the tailgate off and used it as a ramp and was barely able to get her in then.

Last July I took a fall in the Smoky Mtns and tore my left bicep tendon.  Had surgery to repair it and went through the therapy but the muscles still get achey.

Lately I’ve been doing some black powder shooting and making my own powder.  Tested a few loads yesterday in my .45 LC Uberti.  Pretty comparable to a .38 spl but a whole lot more cleaning.

Anyway, that’s pretty much what’s going on here in SE Ks.  Temps are going to be in the mid 50’s but we’ve got a cold front coming after the weekend.

Happy new year everyone.

Today’s project is going to be installing an electric fence barrier around the bird feeder.  The squirrels will get on it and sit for over an hour and eat all the bird seed.

Last year I blew my left bow shoulder out shooting right handed. I was doing the ‘swing draw’ and somewhere along the way I started drawing the string as I was raising the bow from low ready. Very smooth, very fast and very stressful on the shoulder.  Dr. #1 said Bursitis and phys therapy,   Dr. #2 said Tendonitis. Dr. #3 with a really spooky MRI machine said Arthritis.  A couple of Cortisone shots haven’t done much more than the DMSO that I’ve been using.

Decided to get back into the gym and work out around the area and movement that causes the pain. So far, so good. I’m able to shoot again (correctly) and am building my shooting strength back up.

My goal is to book a feral pig hunt in Texas later this year.

I think winter is finally setting in here in SE Ks.  22* right now with a stiff northerly wind.  I used to work for the big electric company here as a substation journeyman and was out in this stuff every day and a lot of stormy nights.  Before I retired I was used to the cold.  Now I’m glad I don’t have to be out in it.

Low thirty’s over this way at night. We need rain.

I have observed that over the past couple of decades that; Hills are getting steeper, the ground is getting harder, everything is getting colder (especially water) and the air is getting thinner. Somebody needs to look into this and find out what’s going on.
