Well this time of year has me doing a lot of unloading and reloading ammo for Cowboy Action Shooting. Most of the archery clubs take a break for the summer. Summer in Alaska is short and most Alaskans are filling their freezers with Salmon and Halibut. I still try to shoot at least 30 arrows a day at home, however;
I found out the hard way that shooting a bag target with Zwickey Eskimo broadheads is a bad idea. I went out and bought a foam target rated for “all broadheads” and will continue to practice till hunting season.

Been working on my cabin located on 40 acres in the Alaska Range, been up two or three days every week since May working on it (It will never be done!) Waiting for next month August when caribou, moose open. Going out in two weeks on the Denal Highway to hunt for close to a week for moose/caribou with family (it will be gun as they need at least 2 moose). before I go back to hunt around my cabin in late Aug/Sept with a bow for myself. Sad that i didn't draw a sheep tag (they can be seen from the cabin) this year. Nor a buffalo either. Oh well.......I'm at least busy.

It's still extremely hot, so I'm mostly sitting around with my thumb misplaced...

I'm retired now 2 years. Thought I just hunt and fish all the time. Not so. I do more than I did, just not as much as I thought I would. Been working some , also volunteered at a local Bible camp for maintenance type projects. Been able to attend more shoots. Staying plenty busy.

Struggling again with frequently recurring A-Fib.  Been affected on-and-off with this for about the last 10 years.  Scheduled for another Cardioversion (#5) on August 8 and then another Heart Ablation (#2) on September 1.  Hoping this will restore regular heart rhythm so that I can regain my strength and energy level.  Been real tired for about 2 months and unable to participate in activities I love like golf and archery which drain my energy quickly.  Getting old ain't for sissies!
