No. It will be a bit to humid to mess with the muskets sadly. And I also have to rebuild my target stand. Although maybe I should just have some fun. But they just changed the rules for the rifle range. Have to be seated to shoot now. So I might start looking into a different range to use.

I think idiots happened Rick. Since it is a state range if a moron does something stupid and gets caught then it ruins it for the guys like me that play by the rules. They also raised the center height of the targets by about 10 inches. So I am looking into a muzzleloader club right now. Will cost to join and have dues every year but they get the use of a private range.

A private range shouldn't have all of the BS attached to it.

We have had ours on for the last few days and it was working fine. But it just stopped working today. Checked the breakers for everything and they were fine. Checked the furnace stuff since that is where the thermostat runs to to start the ac and it had no power. Not sure why. ALso pondering if it didnt detect a fault with the condenser and shut the system down.If there is an issue with the condenser unit then I will have to look atv getting that replaced before the really hot humid weather starts.
