This is of course regarding single-shot rifles and shooting.

Everything I do with single shot rifles is worthwhile. Makes me happy and keeps me busy.

OK, besides cleaning the Augean stables in a single day, I casted lots of nice bullets, shot a few good targets, polished and fitted a Swiss buttplate to an old Winchester, fitted and polished a Helm lever to an old Winchester, worked over two 92 Winchesters, put together a SAA Colt that shoots well (Yeah I know they're not single shots).

I took Wes Turners advice and had cataract surgery on my shootin' eye.  Mostly since I got a deal on an old DST high wall with no scope mounts.  Wes said he would take me out of his will if I added scope blocks.  He promised to leave me his extensive collection of once fired primers.

Not as much as I would like.   

I installed my new lathe, and have it operational.  I moved my new Bridgeport mill into the back shop, wired it into the three phase converter, but haven't had time to start it up and get it working.

I finished two ballard .22 rifles.  Stocked and barreled a .22 lowall for my wife, still need to finish it.   

Shot in one match, all year.   

Cleared out my basement shop of a bunch of extraneous stuff, and have it fully functional for my gun and reloading work.

Purchased 350,000+ pieces of brass from the defunct Jamison brass company, and set up to sell it to users.  This has taken up about 30 hours a week of my time.   

Just the past week, have rebarreled my first single shot I owned, an H&A Junior .22.  Have barreled a 45-90 high wall to use next year in with my two rolling block 45-90's.
