I did not make it to the range today - unmotivated to pack up the truck - lazy too. I don't even want to lift weights or ride a bicycle or hike anywhere.

Went to the range yesterday and shot up some steel. Forgot to take pictures because I had to pack up in a hurry to avoid the tornadic winds and torrential rain. It was a nice day.

I have an extra lower sitting around, so a complete upper is a good excuse for another complete rifle. [Muaha]

Like I said, my girl's pops is a Brigadier General. I didn't approach him like it was a pissing contest. But I didn't come into it with my head bowed and my hand out either. That whole thing about "knowing your audience" was in effect. The man is a respected professional so I was respectful. He's a very successful soldier so I couldn't appear weak (what soldier, in the history of ever, would let his daughter marry someone that he didn't believe was capable of protecting and providing?). In the end I approached it just like I was briefing him on an op. I told him why I was there, outlined why I wanted to marry his daughter and how I was going to make it happen then asked his permission/blessing to go forward. No issues.

With her mom I spent a lot more time talking about the abstract. How I knew she was the right one. Why we're good together. etc. Again, know your audience. Her mom was a lot more interested in the "why" than the "how" if that makes sense.

You OPORDed the dad? That's good stuff right there.

Nope, just that one thing, but I'm sure it's alright.

Fun story: I got married about three weeks before I graduated college. My FIL said he'd have a friend come down for my commissioning. The friend? Pete Schoomaker.

Well played, FIL.

Also, try the R1 if you're not picky about color. Just get one of the IO covers. Save yourself some $$.
