Built these two beauties and sighted them in with iron sights then optics.  Acquired mucho ammo, to be ready for the Zombie Apocalypse!  Next project is to put my 1987 Honda CR500 back in rideable condition.

I finally got my GS7 custom swim bait mold complete. Poured a couple and I'm very happy with the final product.
7.5" long. Has a 1.75" cavity in the belly for a glow stick and/or scent. The tail has a small pocket for a rattle. Nice thick body with a belly. Oversized tail for a slower drop to keep it in the strike zone longer.
Now the fun part, creating a color combo I really like. Heehaw!

Way cool Eric!!  My first car was also a datsun... That POS got me in a lot of trouble  :smt044 

I'm working on converting a 6x10 Cargo Trailer into a Mini-Camper.  I've just about finished installing insulation, and we are going to give it a test run this weekend at crabfest before I go any further with the project.  But next up will be to install a window, DC and AC wiring, Bed/Table, Kitchen, Entertainment Center, and Flooring.  So, got a bit of work still to do  :smt003
  Al, don't forget about the bivy and shower!  Hahaha.....
