Happiness is...

MacAR: you might also be re-incarnated from the year 900 AD. It's only pure random chance that most of us weren't learning to throw spears/lances or seaxes as boys. But many people here have done so.

The smells and sights of nature are so 'correct'. Sometimes I pause shooting for about 10 minutes at a rural gun club (south of Jackson TN) with nobody else around, on weekdays, and enjoy the 98% silence.
That's true. My Irish blood allows me to appreciate spears and axes (have a wonderful collection of various American single and double bits) so I can see that being the case. I like to think my ancestors were the ones who did the hunting for the clan rather than sitting at home on their duffs.

May you all find happiness in the little things as well.

Stay safe.
A wee bit off topic, but, Rio, is that guitar player John 5? Talented player.
 
Need I go on?
YES!

We have so much to be happy for.
Today it was reloading.

Don't forget the pipe full of good tobacco and lit with a burning pine bough pulled from the fire.
Regretfully, I gave up my pipe in 2005. That is, I "practically" gave it up - I still light it up (with a burning pine bough) whenever I'm sitting by a campfire with a hot cup of coffee. ;)
I've never smoked but have always enjoyed the smells that a good pipe produces. Would love to sit across the fire from you and smell your pipe while we swapped stories! :)
 
What's making me happy right now (the group I posted is a few years old) is a newly assembled Howa Mini Action in 6mm ARC. Bought the barreled action from Brownell's and put it in a Southern Cross Small Arms folding chassis. Added a length of ARCA rail from Amazon and a muzzle brake takeoff from a CA Mesa. The clamp on bolt knob (which fits surprisingly well) and 20 MOA rail came from Legacy Sports. Scope is a FFP Athlon Midas TAC 6-24x50 in Vortex rings. I'm enjoying the anticipation of taking it to the range, hopefully this weekend.

To be completely honest, the chassis is a bit of an experiment. If I don't like it, I'll replace it with another B&C sporter.

Yeah I'm going to have to change my initial post to reflect that true happiness is "Delivered". The last 3 fricken times I've ordered ammo it gets to a sorting facility 35 mins from my house, says "on the way" and the "we're sorry, your package has experienced a sortation delay". Arghhhh.

I'm so impatient and don't understand how it gets 35 mins from my house and takes 3-4 extra days to get here. What are the odds that 3x in a row, as soon as it hits the facility near me it gets tied up in a sorting delay. I don't get it, the last case I ordered was steel case and I'd rather be shooting that then going through my brass cased stuff. Smh.
