Today, on our day off, Sam and I enjoyed a neighbor’s private lessons on how to drive an old 1951 Ford tractor. The antique machine had all sorts of fun attachments to accompany it; we chose the rock rake. We tried our hand at raking the field flat with the tractor (not an easy task), and then afterwards took a break by testing our shooting skills. Today was practice for handguns; from .22s to 9mms to .45s, we shot at a small target to help refine our abilities.
