Edging; AR-15 case

News ·Saturday May 2, 2009 @ 17:51 EDT (link)

Last night from when I got home until dark I ran the edger to clear the accumulated weeds between the patio stones, and destroy the encroachments of clinging moss; I also went around the lawn, front and back, and both sides of the rock wall at the back right, bordering the "private drive". It was fairly exhausting due to having to hold one arm straight out on one handle of the edger; the numbness from the vibration wore off fairly quickly but the ache from holding my arm locked and holding up the unit took longer. Part of it's due to not having edged since last year, I'm sure. Removing moss with an edger is probably more work than with a power washer, but not too bad for small areas.

Today I went to the gun show in Monroe; Surplus Ammo and other bulk dealers were out of Wolf .223, so I'm placing an order with Wideners. I still have most of a case of 500, so I can wait. I also picked up a soft case for my AR-15: it's 36" and the rifle is 32" collapsed, which is a good fit; it's also deep enough to hold it with a magazine attached or with an optic (when I get one). There are four magazine pouches on the outside: I guess I need to buy another magazine.
