Getting "caught up" ?? 

I have had conversations with friends and family when I ask the "how are things going" I often hear ... "I just got caught up ... Now I'm just relaxing" And I have to wonder how does one get "caught up" ?!?! I honestly could not tell you when the last time I could "just relaxe" because I am "caught up" Am I setting my goals to high??, is my "list" that long??.... Or perhaps their goals/ lists are that small ?? ... I have been trying to keep this blog updated for the 5 people that come here and don't get me wrong this is something that I enjoy!!! But I have to find time "make time" to do it ! I do have one part of each day that I get to "relax" ... When I get to sit down and break bread with the most important and beautiful woman on this earth ... My better half ... That is the highlight of my day !!!

It is work tending to the flock....

 But we get the best freshest eggs ! 

Cutting and splitting fire wood is not easy it hurts a tired back ....

But it doesn't hurt as bad as it could using hand tools

And it will keep us warm ! And we have the tools and know how to do it if the Hydraulics break down or there is no gas !!

For Y'all that didn't know I have a small Fabrication/Gunsmithing shop that helps keep my "list" long... A few of the latest "scope jobs" required some measuring tools that I did not have a means of setting up .... Well I do now !!!

    When drilling and tapping holes in a rifle barrel to mount the scope I need to know how deep EXACTLY how deep to drill .... And with an hour or so of head scratching and doing now I can ! This is a $10 Mosin-Nagant that I finally finished for myself .... 

Before.... 

And after ....

...... With all this talk of getting "caught up" I just looked at the ever spinning clock ..... I gotta get !!! And go get CAUGHT UP !!!

Carry on !
