1983
In January of 1983 I visited Tasmania, Australia while serving as an Electrician Mate on the nuclear attack submarine USS Seadragon, SSN584. I was based out of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. I also got to see some other places, including Hong Kong, Philipines and Guam.

I inherited the shotgun from my dad. Once I gave it a good cleaning it turned out to be both reliable and accurate.

I bought a scope for the old Sears 22 rifle that I inherited. I used a laser bore sight to get it close then did the final adjusting on the range.

In my continuing effort to find things to do with my time off, I decided to make a squirrel picnic table. I used maple for the wood & stainless steel screws. I am going to screw it to our wooden fence in the backyard. Using maple was kind of a pain because I had to drill countersunk pilot holes for all the screws, but hey... nothing put the best for our squirrels.
