That?s how my day started but I pushed on.

Hung up with him and a large black cat just walked across right in front of my truck.

Just been a weird morning and getting focused on getting work done today has been tough.

While that sucks.. Did you get your new boots, yesterday.

I've had those days where nothing seems to work. Even speaking to people doesn't seem to work. It's like you're speaking some alien language and other people can't seem to understand the simplest things? Sometimes it makes me just want to go back to bed and try again tomorrow.

That sucks, been there.

Go home, get frisky with the missus or rub one out & then take a nap.

Start the day over @ noon or so.

Yeah. New work boots. That might have contributed to my mood this morning. Should have just worn the old ones today.

Good thing is I have walked and climbed around enough this morning and been head to toe covered in sweat so the new boots are breaking in quickly.

Welcome to Colorado.

At least we didn't get a Mother's Day storm taking out trees this year.

Speaking shooting in the wind...

Ray, Irving you guys still in for tomorrow?

By the time we get another chance Chick will be healed up and we won't be able to talk about her.[emoji41]

I think so. What time?

I sent you a pm.

I still do not have experience at 40mph+ :(

It would be been a great video footage if I shot yesterday.
(Minus the sound of the wind on a microphone).

Possibly. Actually made my first trip out for 2020 today.

I kind of have stuff to do tomorrow- mow, get the sprinklers turned on and dialed in, spray weeds, etc. Probably a half days worth of stuff to do.

If we can go early and I can get home mid day that would be great.

Let me know.

I was in a rush and only had time to eat at taco bell.

$5 chalupa box was not too bad even with meat and beans there. No restroom visits.

Early is good for me too. I have 3 stands similar to yours and redneck IDPA targets.

My drive is only 20-25 mins so 0700 is not too early for me. You guys have travel time.
05-21-2020, 16:22
ray1970

I?m an early riser. Let me clear it with my wife and I?ll let you know for sure.

I have six of those metal stands and a pile of wooden sticks. Getting a little low on targets but I bet I can scrounge up ten or twenty IPSC ones. (Sorry, no IDPA). I have pasters so we can extend their useable life.

It will take me a bit to get there. They are apparently still doing work on that bridge so I have to go out to Byers and catch 36 and come in from the east.

My wife already talked to me about her going somewhere tomorrow, so unfortunately I have to bail. I haven't bought her another vehicle yet since her last one exploded back in February.

Did that yesterday, felt really good. I've managed to keep running and riding bike, but it felt good to lift some weight, in fact I think the 2 month break actually increased my performance.

So, got some pistol practice in today.

Who wants to bet that Irving and Buffalobo make me look bad tomorrow?
05-21-2020, 23:27
buffalobo

Ha, SIL was out last week and I was little embarrassed and that was after I had to sweep cobwebs off my pistol range bag.

I think somebody filed all the front sights off, I couldn't find em for shit.
05-21-2020, 23:49
ray1970

I've noticed my sights are getting smaller as well. Must be shrinking because of the cleaning solvent or something. They used to be much easier to see.
05-22-2020, 00:39

I think that's why I shoot a rifle better these days. The further out the front sight is, the better.

I was actually thinking of that, but I don't own one.

...but I do now understand them. When I was younger, I wondered, "Why does something like that even exist?"

Today's lunch was Home cooked Hotdog, salad, and Cheese burger. I bought the 32 Great Value pack. It is okay, and better than I thought it would be.
