...at the Va Regionals! This was my first state IDPA match. w00t! I had not expected to shoot today, actually, but Helmie (i-Shot) used his pull to get me in the 5PM session! Helmie is a great guy, and has the best shooting bags. Period. You should buy one from him for all your range gear. Of course, due to timing, and smjayman's wittle tummy wanting ( Read more... )

1. Make a Plan.
2. Build a kit.
3. Get trained.
4. Volunteer!
5. Give Blood.

On No. 2, I had no idea we could build our own kitiara! Sign me up. I wonder if the price of the original will plummet with all the copies that are sure to be around ( Read more... )

Well, I actually had an ok time at the PTA auction dinner thing this evening. Not that I talked to people much, but a little. I do not know many of the parents, and the few I do socialize with at all were not there. I am not so good at the schmoozing thing either. I just don't have that skill. Talked to the Mariko's coach and her smokin' hot ( Read more... )

Well, kitiara and I got the bed, shelves, and dresser out of her nearly empty apartment and in my van and her truck. It was a sweet packing job, and there were no issues with the 11 mile drive in to my house. It went smoothly, with the only minor blip being the threading of the tie-downs. How annoying those were. Got stuff here and unloaded and in Mariko' ( Read more... )

I finally took a few minutes to call SA on the way from one building to the other...it was nice and sunny out ( Read more... )

Ok, who shot Murphy? Has the world tilted on its axis? What is wrong with this world when yoo run out of fuel oil, and it is not the coldest day of the year? *shakes head* I just don't get it.

I wonder how soggy a pickle would be after 3000 years?[1] And would it be soggy enough then for kitiara?

This information bulletin brought to you by the Letter P and the pucker factor. ;-)

[1] Pickles have been around since about 1000 BC

Well I am man enough to admit that I miss kit already, and she has not even left the state. I teared up a little on the way to BRA today, thinking that this was the last time we would all be together at Shooty Goodness until she comes to visit. It has been good this last year having her in my life, as she is a dynamic personality, and a force for ( Read more... )

I just saw on the news where there was an avalanche in Little Cottonwood Canyon between Alta and Snowbird. They had a great aerial shot of it. That is so cool. Nobody got hurt at least. This is like 12 miles from the last house I lived in out in Utah. I don't know how many times I have driven through there. Heck, I have even had a picnic on the ( Read more... )

Well went shooting with the gang again today. Had quite a crowd actually, since Jay had invited Scott, and Chris and the Female Cadet showed up as well. We did some drills and things with targets in two lanes as well. I did some things ok, and some things really crappy. I was having a real problem with stuff at 15 yards at first. Just jerking ( Read more... )
