I have lived here 19 years and just keep going to the local range even though I own a quarter section of land. There is a flood dam across a draw that is 15/20 feet tall and several hundred feet across. The pond is dry most of the time so we can shoot 4-500 yards to the dam. I use to set up simple USPSA matches here a few times. Just don't seem to have enough time for most of the things I like to do anymore. I retire in 20 months, maybe then...

Along those lines, I've been meaning to re-do my workshop long workbench and was wondering how tricky it is bonding layers of plywood? Given the area of them and only having 4 squeeze clamps at my disposal, how do you press 4x8 sheet layers tight while they're curing? For my work bench, flat is important. I toyed with going to one of the local steel scrapyards and just buying some lengths of boiler plate, but that stuff's incredibly heavy for a one man show. I can lift more with one hand than my wife and daughter can with their four. Given the aggravation factor, I usually don't ask them for help.
