Preparations continue

Working on the million things one needs to do before leaving for an entire month.

Cataloging all my bills, making sure enough money is in the right accounts, and sorting things like an English phone number and English car rental.

Also had my last visit to my gunsmith and had a couple of subtle alterations to my wood stock that I expect will help a great deal. Placing one's finger on the trigger (and holding the grip) the same way are absolutely critical at the top level of shooting. So at his suggestion, I had him put in a couple of subtle finger grooves in the grip so I can "register" my hand and hold the grip the same way every time.

Here's what it looks like:

Beyond that, ordered and had delivered a new cooling vest (in case it's a hot summer) as well as a "fishing trolley" on which to carry all my gear to and fro in the camp.

The anticipation is mounting, and there are about nine days left before I depart.
