My labors on Labor day.......

Well, since I was on call for the hospital and couldn't go anywhere, and since I put in a 73 hour week last week, I did a few things that I have been meaning to do for a while now......I casted up some round balls in .54 & .62 caliber, some 12 gauge shotgun slugs, and some .54 cal minies. I also found time to scrounge some wheel wieghts from the local tire stores (about 8 ingots worth) and finished stripping & priming my duck boat......I also managed to get the a coat of paint on the boat and the lawn mowed, and did a couple of loads of laundry for the wife!
Pretty productive "Labor" day!

Mr. 16 gauge,

I think you got a lot done on Labor Day.

Today, I picked 112.75 pounds of tomatoes from our 80 plants in the garden. (I picked 81 pounds 2 days ago and 82 pounds three days before that). Yes, we are canning salsa, tomatoes, pizza sauce, etc.

For an encore on Labor Day, I dug up a wheelbarrow load of potatoes.

Happy Labor Day to all.

Adam
