Well, Here it Comes!
Unless Wes sends a hit team down to stop me the site will get an OS upgrade starting Friday July 3. I just got all the mail and FTP accounts straight and here I gotta go redo them but, I really have no choice.
Fedora 8 being unsupported is static and thus vulnerable to an attack. I have studied the log files and discovered that that is how the site got hacked. I thought it was the password probe but no, that was but a cover for the real exploitation!
The site will get the Maintenance Mode page starting at 1:00 PM PDT. Then I shall commence the backups (Yes Wes, I am going to FTP copy the whole damn thing, just in case!)
The site will probably re-appear as an Apache test page sometime late July 4!
If only the straight upgrade worked farther than one generation up.

Last time up he brought up a new, for him Savage 110 in 30-06. These were the final three round of 10 or so and the last was dead on in the x-ring. We shot out the rest of a box with very good results. Don brought up a couple of other rifles a Fn-Fal in .308 and a Ruger .22. He also brought a case Wolf .308 with steel cartridges and I was flatly amazed at how well they shot. One inch groups from the next rifle up. We never did get around to shooting the Ruger .22 rifle but instead we fired a box or so from my Ruger Mk-2 pistol which was a lot of fun for all concerned. And then it was Shawnee up.
Well not exactly. If you squint you can see the target stand we are using. I have to say if it had been a chipmunk she would have nailed the little guy. Of course with this rifle being chambered in .308 there wouldn’t have been much of anything left to sample. That tree leaning over fell naturally it wasn’t a result of being sawed in two by errant rounds as some have suggested. The little white speck barely visible is the target stand. We are shooting off the bench that doubles with some camo added as one of the blinds I use during deer season.
The couple of rounds marked in yellow were the last of the 30-06. Those in green were the steel cased Wolf .308’s. Not much more to say but that the target is on a sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper and the bulls eye is about an inch and a quarter in diameter. This is pretty amazing considering everything else we shot, four different shooters by the way and the rest of a box of that Wolf (Dan and I got in our licks) and we never had another out of the black. Hard to tell but there are about 10 of them in the center in this pic.
Walleye or Perch and the occasional Pike. Also it has a population of large, very tasty panfish. Those will usually bite on a bare hook. Shawnee lost no time in landing a respectable bass which we took home for later and that is Dan doing the hard work of holding her rod. Bass is far from my favorite eating fish but Shawnie fried it up the next morning and at least we could say it didn’t go to waste. Soaking over night in lemon juice is said to improve the flavor and I am thourghly convinced that must be the case. Unfortunately I had none but I hear that saltwater works in a pinch. Maybe next time.
was such hard work that Dan went to sit for a while and take care of the fire where the corn was cooking. Ever vigilant he promptly fell asleep letting the fire go out. No damage done as it was still early. It must be something in the air. The base of the fire pit is part of an old boiler from one of the elementary schools in Munising that was closed down as the city’s population decreased years ago and continues growing smaller each year. The lake here is about ten miles out of town, one of many mostly small lakes dotting Michigan’s U.P.
fed us well, stuffing us to the gills (Ha ha ha, a little fishing joke,) with grilled pork soaked in teriyaki sauce as our main course. That was something I had never had before but would be more than happy to try again. We stayed on till late in the evening. I thank them for the hospitality and leave this view as a last photo remembrance of the end of a near perfect day,
