First warm weather shoot of the year.
Great day today, got some sunburn, sweated a lot, and shot a match. I have shot three other matches this year with some of the stages outside but they were cold and rainy days. Today the weather was beautiful, a first this year. Hot, sunny and almost windy. You could tell my body was not ready for the heat I drank over 60oz of water and three 16oz Gatorades by the time I got home from the match.
It was my club's second outdoor match of the year. The first one was cold and raining so it was a steel match instead of a USPSA match; today was regular USPSA. It was a good solid match nothing to notable but the stages were good solid stages. Perfect for new shooters to get a good flavor of USPSA which was perfect since a co-worker came with me to give USPSA a try for the first time. For having only shot a firearm a handful of time previously and all in informal shooting sessions he did very good with the pressure of people watching and the timer running. Now I just have to get him to get his own gun. Nothing like turning your co-workers into "gun-nuts"
Abby got her first day outside yesterday. Grass sort of freaked her out and concrete almost as much. It was pretty funny though cause you could tell she was interest but sitting her down in the grass was just too much too quick. She would look around for few second and then practically jump back into your arms. Today she started on a blanket and got to explore onto the grass at her own pace and liked it a lot more.
She might have the making of being an engineer. Yesterday dad was working on his gas power leaf blower and I was holding her talking to him while he worked. She seem very interested in all the pieces parts and watching grandpa take it apart trying to figure out why it was not getting gas. She seemed to like the tools especially grandpa's cordless drill.
Well I finish this rambling post with two pictures of Abby.
Here she is helping me with my laundry.
Here she is after Na-na (GFWTR's mom) wore her out playing with her all afternoon without letting her taking a nap.
