This week work continues at the St. John's Rod and Gun Club as a small but dedicated group of volunteers are working hard replacing the concrete walkways on two more of our Trap Shooting fields.

Today Bassan and Coldwell were heading out to the club after work, I arrived early to cut the grass which needed desperately to be done. This was my first time towing dad's enclosed trailer which I have a lend of for the summer and fall. It has been very handy for storing the Argo and Lawn tractor all summer freeing up valuable space in my small garage. It was very warm today with temps hitting 28ºC, my trusty Silverado HD handled the tow with ease and caused no over heating issues. 

With grass cutting complete and still no sign of the boys yet I fired up Project 6x6 for a quick rip up the pole line scouting blueberries for a possible future adventure.

This 30+ year old machine which hasn't ran in a few months fired right up and worked perfectly all afternoon.

By now the boys finally arrived so we set to work cutting, laying and tying steel reinforcing mesh and rebar for the upcoming concrete pour.

We just finished up just as it started to peck rain at the club. We were very surprised to drive into heavy rain at the top of Holyrood hill on the drive home, apparently a major downpour just missed us at the gun club. All in all a great day getting work done while having a little fun as well.

Cheers, MIKE
