Time to buy another gun.

I've been sleeping up to ~24 hours a day, just getting out of bed to pee and get a drink of water, and not eating anything but sugar-free cough drops most days. After sleeping for a day or 2 I have to get up and eat something. I must be making up for all the sleep I missed when I was working. Also, when I saw my doctor about 2 weeks ago she asked me how I was doing. I started to tell her and she ran out of the room. She came back wearing a mask and handed me one. What do I have in common with an internet meme? I've gone viral. ;D At least she thinks I have a virus. She didn't even check the swollen lymph nodes in my neck or anything, just talked for awhile. That was different.

Tab do you have a shooting range at your place?  If not building one could keep you busy for a while.  The range here is only around 230 yards to the woods, but I have a 50 yard for rimfire along with some rimfire steel targets up and down on a hill, a 100 yard target and a 200 yard target.  The 200 yard has solar motion lights and a camera that alarms which helps to keep the dangerous feral dog population down.  I have a covered 2 bay shooting bench for all of that.

There is also a bermed bay for pistol/rifle cut into the side of a hill with some steel to shoot alongside the paper target stands.  I have a space from hill to hill that's 700 yards plus a little.  I'm going to clear out a spot to shoot to at 700 yards from a picnic table someday. 

Now, if I just had time to use all of that....
