Going to build up a target pistol, and hopefully acquire the last parts for one I'm building for my partner.

Most target pistols have contoured grips to force a repeatable grip, and I'm a righty, but she is a lefty. So she gets her very own.

:villagers:If she doesn't have her own then it's time for the pitchforks!:villagers:

I say this as I used to shoot bullseye. I was never that good, and my equipment was always better than me. I have mine, and my husband has his, and the two sets shall never (or very rarely) ever cross. I'm 5'3" and he's around 6', so hand size, grip and sighting is quite different between the two of us. His set-up is for the most part too big for me to get a firm and confident grip on, and he complains that mine is too small. :wiggle:

As far as this weekend, I'm going to see my mom (she's 82 and frail) to check on her and get what she may need. I only go out when I need to, and it needs to be a REAL need and not a "I just want to get out of the house" kinda need. She lives in the same town as me, and with the university nearby, you could say that we're in a "hot zone". UT Austin has not that much over on OU Norman as you could say WITHOUT sarcasm that idiots abound in both places. As things ramp up, I'm getting more paranoid that I'll give Mom the virus.

And before the UT Austin/OU Norman crowd gets going, the hubster graduated UT Austin and I graduated (you guessed it!) OU Norman. Not that either one of us are idiots, but you know....

I may tackle straightening the misaligned tailgate on my station wagon. It's so out of whack that it rubs against one of the tail lights in warm weather and the sound of that resonates annoyingly throughout the entire car. I've put this chore off so far because it doesn't leak back there.

While I have my tools out and the tailgate open, I may also remove the interior trim panel to see if the combination exterior handle/tag light mount is slightly loose because it's broken and needs replacement or if it just needs to be tightened up from within.

Family Truckster, or Olds Vista Cruiser/Buick SportWagon?

Staying in, watching a lot of TV, maybe some audiobooks, and working out.

I will probably venture out for food.

I've got stuff at home, but hitting a drive through is a touch of normalcy.

And I need to make a Costco run next week.

Fla - staying in but may go for a walk. Based on observations I'm in the minority in my community where every business is up and running because an auto upholstery shop is essential (along with DIY pest control, auto dealership, furniture store, flower shop, printer, and numerous others)

In a way you're kind of close: I drove a 1988 Olds Custom Cruiser (Delta 88-based rather than Cutlass-based) for longer than any other car I've owned, but the need of a new timing chain plus the discovery of major rust right under the driver's seat (apparently stemming from a scratch that went down to the metal) put it out to pasture. I miss it every day.

The current wagon is an '06 Ford Focus but, and this hadn't occurred to me until just now when you mentioned it, it IS definitely "Family Truckster" green in color.

Biking very early this morning and then work on the deck. Many years ago I over-used a pressure washer on the deck and messed up the boards. When our daughter got married 8 years ago it looked crummy so I flipped the boards to the nice side. But, that meant they had light and dark areas. It didn't look good and so, rather than just letting it age to a consistent color, with full knowledge of the "it will never end" issue, I stained the deck with a semi-transparent stain. Now that has come home to roosts and there are peeling areas. I had touched it up about 4 years ago but it's gotten bad again. So, yesterday I took the railing apart so we could restain it without having to try to paint about the round metal balusters. Today I will put it back together and stain the top part of the rail after I screw it together. Then scrape the needed areas on the deck surface and stain half of the deck. Tomorrow I'll move the furniture to the just-stained area and scrape and restain the rest of the deck.

Catching up on Better Call Saul, should this go on long enough I may get current.
