I?ve seen three. Two were far enough away they were kind of cool but one was spooky close and I was picking out a safe place to ride it out. Fortunately that one lifted up and went away so I didn?t have to shelter in place.

Many of the cities out that way have really declined: la junta, las Animas, etc. if you want cheap housing in CO, it can be had out that way.Quote:

G'morning
Im very excited to try a new style of shooting Saturday. I like doing things for the first time & @ a competition no less it should be exhilarating.
5 to 200yds... yes please!
Obviously, I'm not really competing as much as I'll be auditing the match with a pass or fail, but still...
I am looking forward to seeing how my skills translate & if @ all.
Plus I am going to learn so much just showing up & watching everyone else first.
You get the POI issue resolved on your rifle, or still working on it?Quote:

Some folks aren't as self-sure as they think
Some folks don't like when the word of the day is: loser, and they are its definition.

Ive always expected to be last.
Then I do my best & I'm usually not.
I'm tickled that I was 14th in the last match on Sunday & 3rd in the vtac standard.
It's not just a signature line, I've worked for it.
And i'm sure you deserve it. However there will be some shooters. Thankfully low in number, who one day throw your game due to some low voiced comment or snide remark towards you.Quote:

The hard part is that I'm not just trying to 'game' it for the competitions. My aim is to learn everything & then apply it where & when I can. The competition is the best training.
You even say when you've had a less than stellar day at the range. Few do so. There's been times the dirt is more scared of me than the targets are. We all have those days.Quote:

For example Ive rested my barrel on the vtac wall more than once in the same string, forgotten to close the bolt when reloading between barricades, or just plain picked a bad position & run out of time.
I shot my first dueling tree last Sunday too.
Now I need to find a texas star to try.
Go to any match for YOURSELF.
Be safe and follow the rules, do your own thing otherwise, and ignore any idiotic criticism that might make it to your ear. Do not let that kind of stuff interfere with your personal progress at whatever speed that happens to be.
If you're there with friends offering constructive advice, that's a whole different deal of course.
Night folks
At the crack of dawn this morning a mean little screaming squirrel learnt whose tree it isn't.
Good morning folks
Though this was ancillary to the preservation of my tree as that behavior from anyone just 8 feet from my bedroom window will likely receive the same salutation.
Poit
New seat cushions for the cab of the bambalance today. This next trip should be a bit more comfortable.
Im still hoping to see this vehicle someday.
Hey there.
It's cool. I dig it. I'll never get rid of it, way too useful.
So you've said.
I'm in the process of reorganizing it's contents, and removing items that are no longer pertinent. Tow straps and tie downs, ball mounts, camping stuff, roadside repair items, tools, emergency items and all the like.
It does kinda suck that I can finally attend a fourth of july event this year out of the last three, and I won't have it with me to use.
Why not?
Tomorrow I'll r+r the front tank of the van and get it drained out, remove the sender and try to figure out how to duplicate/modify a replacement somehow. If I can't get that tank cleaned out and functional before the trip, at least it will be empty for when I have time to do so. I'll replace all the flexible lines and install clear line filters ahead of the selector valve instead of after. At least I know that the selector switch and the valve are both functioning properly.
I'm currently working with the sender supplier for the rear tank who evidently changed their product to not match the OE unit any longer, yet their product image still matches the OE sender.
