Saturday morning I was up early and met a co-worker and a customer of ours at a small hunting preserve and spent the morning hunting pheasant. It was a cool, very wet morning. It had rain most of the night and rained the first hour and half we hunted. The field had only just received two killing frosts so the cover was still thick and tough. It ( Read more... )

I woke up at 6:30AM this morning with a mild hangover. It only got worse as the morning progress but I went to the match anyway. Figured is was my last match I would likely shoot before becoming a dad so I was determined to tough it out. It was not my most enjoyable match due to the pounding, red wine induced, hang-over/migraine head-ache. One ( Read more... )

So Friday night GFWTR and I went and saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Review in my previous postSaturday morning I slept in. I then spent most of the rest of the afternoon interviewing two priest for the position of being our new rector. I am part of an eleven member committee at church that is interviewing potential ( Read more... )

I paid for that previous alcohol induced poetic post. I only had four beers (all be it 9% ) and damn if I didn't have a nasty hangover the next day. I have drank far more than that at last years Christmas party and was in much better shape the next morning than I was Saturday morning. So I did not get nearly as much done Saturday as I would have ( Read more... )

So I have everything together and ready to shoot three division in USPSA this summer. I am shooting my XD-40 Tactical in Limited-10, my XD-45ACP Tactical with bunny fart loads in Production and my S&W 610 revolver in Revolver Division. The problem comes in that most of the time you only get to shoot two guns at a local club level match. So now I ( Read more... )

I was up early this morning. Shoveled out the driveway, just enough to get my Element out. The snow at the bottom of the drive way was nearly two feet deep despite being shoveled out Friday night and Saturday morning. The snow was like concrete from the plows packing it down. Took me about half an hour just to get the skirt opened up ( Read more... )

Saturday was the third indoor match of the year already. It was pretty good match for indoors. Three stages for 62rd minimum, with one classifier. I manage to shoot the match clean (no misses or hits on the no shoots) with both guns, Limited-10 and Revolver. I was very please with that, as it's the first clean match of the year. I shot the XD- ( Read more... )

Working on a Air Force SBIR proposal late tonight, might be done before midnight but I doubt it, hopefully not much later though. I am on my 5th large cup of tea. I do have a better handle on this topic than the last one I wrote. Should be a fun project and would really help my MAV program if it got funded ( Read more... )
