74° F & near calm 
I will, thanks, brother.
Hope you too had fun !
Indeed i did. Was popping a new scope on my rimfire so lots of fun plinking out to 100m to verify my bullet drop for 40g rws subs. Something about shooting a rimfire puts a huge smile on my face every bloody time....I will, thanks, brother.
Our green will normally be gone, for the most part by the end of April. We had a good dose of rain early, & mild weather this winter, so a good few of our native grasses are presently " headed" , so at end of their cycle. What's the lead slinger you're showin' off there ?
Aaahh, nice.
I put the strimmer up against some wild oats ( headed out & better than knee high) yesterday A.M. ...that was a knockdown - drag out , 15 rounder. This year we've good " crop" of vetch & fillaree as well - good graze.When I first saw the title I thought you meant bodybuilders in cap sleeve T shirts& with a green hillside just across the garden fence , squirrels runnin' amok; well , you get the idea.
My wee Marlin .22 WMR & I are a' fixin' to have some sport.
TTFN.

The " bodybuilders" here close, are more likely to have " dunlap abs" over waistband types, wearin' long sleeve chambray shirts.When I first saw the title I thought you meant bodybuilders in cap sleeve T shirts

Ha ha, unfortunately that is just a poorly maintained outbuilding.... Wife has a dream of projecting films for the kids against it so likely a job for the summer.....Left some fair craters in the render on that wall for a .22lr @Teutchter Boy
Something to note on the films front - back in the day, once a year, I'd do a " dinner & a movie" gig...I'd BBQ whatever exotic fare I fancied, FOC for the locals in our small town/ village ( BYOB) & show a few cartoons for the kiddies & a ( generally) vintage Western ( think Tom Mix type - 1920s/ 30s vintage stuff) with my 16mm projector... To the point - if you can get white road paint with the sparkly stuff in the mix, it makes for an awesome painted picture screen
The kids ought to dig it.

I really don't shoot tree beasties all that much, but when I do, the .22 LR is way more than sufficient for the purpose. Our ground squirrels ( what I'm after in the pictures, are nuisance vermin & wouldn't eat one on a bet). Using a .22 WMR for this purpose, buys one near double the useable range of a .22 LR ( I consider an LR ~ a 75 yard cartridge, in the main). As to beautiful...we get that lovely green from ~ December until ~April's end, depending on rain timing & quantity; it's enjoyed heartily, while it lasts... then it's getting brown & temps start climbing.
Oh man, out this way, it's grey and rainy from November til the end of April, and then we have a brief window of pleasant temperatures til the end of June before scorching heat and then back to rain. I intend to squeeze in some outdoor competition shooting in that window - my club runs cowboy action and a mini rifle (practical shooting) league when the weather is good, among other things. I'm not a fairweather shooter, but winter shooting involves a lot more huddling in shelter with a flask of tea than summer shooting!I really don't shoot tree beasties all that much, but when I do, the .22 LR is way more than sufficient for the purpose.

Tail end of May until sometimes end of September here, will see temps often over 100F +, frequently dropping to high 40s/ low 50s F at night. Your cowboy action gig sounds cool
, what's your " saddle gun" of choice ? Marlin ? Henry ? Winchester ? Rossi...? on the flask.
Oh, I just sling a dinted ol Rossi R92. Rough but fun!Tail end of May until sometimes end of September here, will see temps often over 100F +, frequently dropping to high 40s/ low 50s F at night. Your cowboy action gig sounds cool
