How to end a day

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Go to the gun range and cycle though some rounds. Ahhhhh what a way to relax. Shooting at ASP then head next door for some enchiladas and some Modelo.

Dad let me bring back his Springfield 1911 Black Stainless, first year made so has all the bells and whistles that they took off in later years. Ruger Mark2 Comp slab side, thats a tack driver if Ive ever held one. And also his, well my grandfathers, Ithica 20ga Featherlight pump Model 37.

I also took my SW99 and cycled though my defense ammo and picked up some new Gold Dots to keep in it. Also my almost afraid to admit I own one, HiPoint Carbine. While its not a perfect gun it sure is fun. 200 dollars for a 9mm with 16″ barrel and a red dot scope on top. Puts all 10 right where you point it. its not like the pistols its actualy ok for what it is

Had 2 new shooters, cute girls at that too . So had to let them try the carbine, both LOVED it. The red dot makes that gun. Also had a cuttie friend I was showing how to control a .40s&w glock, that was tough. She shot better with my sw99 as its a thinner gun and glocks are just so hard to hold if you are a woman with small hands.

So yea…prefect way to relax, go tear up some paper. Shoulder still stinging from a full box of 20ga trying to tear the target in half as quickly as i could. At that point it was just lets let some lead fly.

I recommend it to all…go practice your rights as often as you can

Lost

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

Well I did it today.  I have had this little game for a long time.  I remember doing it back in Boy Scouts.  Go out and try to get yourself lost.  Its actualy pretty hard to do sometimes, cause the mind will find ways of not letting you do it.  But I went for a ride today cause I was bored.  Sky looked like it was straight out of the Simpsons, so blue with such white fluffy clouds.  I took off and took back roads up to Clarksville.  Then I wanted to get home by way of Dickson.  I have done this before, so I saw a road I always wanted to know where it went.  Plus I have been on highway 48 too many times anyway.  So off I went…50 miles later I ended up back on 48, about 3-4 miles north of where I was.  So one HUGE ass loop.  I was so lost at one point I found a place with a cross road sign and good cell signal to find a way home.  One good thing about the Treo is Google Maps app on it.  So I was two turns away from 48, but never would have known it.  Problem was the river.  You cant cross it but at like 3 spots from there to Nashville.  So that kept screwing me up.  I couldnt believe I actualy felt lost enough to get directions.  I was amazed.
