We had our second Pink Pistols shoot here yesterday. I think it went pretty well. I was scrambling all about because of our 3 rangemasters, two were gone and the third was a little late. It was fairly hot and humid, but the rain held off until evening. We also had two video crews here shooting footage.

The First Church of the Gun is doing well. We've had many parishioners over the last few weeks. The video shows one of the newest, a visitor from a far away land, partaking in the sacrament of the flintlock.

Thanks go to Anthony for bringing his holy device. Thanks also to Jeremy for his help in preparing the sermon. Finally, thanks to Kate for providing the repast.

After being sick for over a week, I'm finally getting into Spring. We got the boat out, and Otis has been enjoying standing on the prow while we do all the work. We're going to start working on the range again soon, probably this week. Today we had more people over for the "church of John Browning", including some kids who got to shoot under the supervision of an NRA certified trainer.

Well, we finally have a "real" address. It seems that once a road has at least three houses on it, it needs to be officially named for emergency services reasons. Since the newest neighbors have finally gotten their house built, it is finally time.

The new official address is:
6 Freeses Pond Road
Deerfield NH 03037

Of course, the post office still won't deliver mail to this address; so you'll have to continue to use the PO box when sending snail mail. (I can hardly wait until we can end that monopoly!)

You'd think that getting hit by a truck and breaking your leg in 13 places would teach a dog not to run after cars. No such luck with Otis.

Yesterday while the drive was getting plowed, we heard a yelp. Otis came limping up the drive, and after some checking, we went to the vet.

I have been a Liberty Dollar associate since 1999.

I am the webmaster of the NH Liberty Dollar website, and am working with other local Liberty Dollar supporters to help grow the Liberty Dollar economy here in New Hampshire.

If you would like to get some Liberty Dollars, or just would like to discuss them in person, I am almost always at the Taproom Tuesday events at Murphy's Taproom in Manchester on Tuesday evenings.

Thanks to Joe and his backhoe, the range is much closer to being finished. There is a lot of dirt needing to be moved, and a little ledge to be broken up, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Today we will be trying out a jackhammer and tomorrow we will be finishing up with the backhoe. If all goes well, there will only be some small amounts of finishing work needing to be done.

Housing

All housing comes with wireless Internet access, parking for one car, and communal dinners. There are two 3/4 baths available.

The house is non-smoking, but there are porches both front and back where it is OK.

While we were doing a part-time job, a friend of mine said (in a stern yet mocking voice):

You are hereby sentenced to:

• drive through leaf-peeping country and be paid mileage and time for it
• work unsupervised at an hourly rate
• take as long as you need to get the job done
• partake in conversations with like-minded individuals
