Happy Christmas!
For those who celebrate, anyway.
Been pretty quiet around here. I spent a good part of the day watching the Mythbusters Marathon, flipping to either the Ice Age marathon or TBS's 24 Hours of A Christmas Story during commercials. ;)
Seems like "Santa" went shopping at Remington.com this year, netting me a new hat, new travel mug, T-shirt and a few other things. Mom & Dad also got me a package of Extra Strength generic brand Minoxidil. Think they're trying to tell me something? Actually, they've been talking to me about that since it was evident I did not get my maternal grandfather's hair after all. Which brings me to today's fact.
Karak Fact #5: my last name, "Ballard," is an old english word meaning "the bald headed man."
Planning to stick around Prescott for at least another day or two before heading up to Denver. After shooting pool with Grandma on Saturday, I'm looking forward to playing again with laurenlydon, neonphog, and haoma82 when I'm in Denver. Should be fun. :)
I'm uploading a couple of images of me shooting yesterday. They're ~4MB each, and there's no photo editing software to speak of on this computer ... and since it's not my computer I'm reticent to install The GIMP. I'll resize them later, or you're welcome to and send me resizes / thumbnails at karaksindru[at]gmail[dot]com, since I know at least a couple of you are fair hands at image manipulation.
Me firing the Luger pistol.
Me firing the pump action rifle. If you look close on the left side, you can see bits of the orange clay pigeons I was shooting at. They used to be about four inches in diameter.
