Good morning everyone. Yeah Pete, I agree. I just finished building a new workbench for my train room and it doesn't look that neat and it's only a few days old. :o Organization is the key here.....
Nice day yesterday, we were the only ones out where we go target shooting, so no one else to be concerned about.
Temps were mild and the sky overcast, so we also had no worries about sunburn. I still get upset when I see how much garbage that others leave behind. Someone had brought a road barrier, it was at least 4' high with a large heavy base. To start with, they probably took it off of a road that was being worked on somewhere, so they had no right to it to begin with, then they trashed our shooting area by leaving it behind. We would have taken it away, but we had no place to carry it. There were other makeshift targets left behind as well, it's a pity that some people have no respect for others. Where we shoot is private property, and one day if people continue to trash the area, we'll find a fence around it and it will be posted as "NO SHOOTING ALLOWED"....Then these people will move on to trash yet another shooting spot. 
BTW, our philosophy, and that of other responsible shooters, is to leave with more than you came with but it's hard when people bring large pieces of furniture, old TV sets, and even washing machines to use as targets. It's just a convenient way of getting rid of their trash without going to the landfill.
