- 3 hours of sleep, no coffee, and being out and about on a very hot and muggy day makes for a sleepy DaddyBear.
- Took Girlie Bear to the rifle range at one of the local state parks. It’s nice to have multiple ranges within easy driving distance.
- Since the last time we were out there, the state has made it a 100 yard only range. Before, users were allowed to move the target stands out to 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards, but the pipes for the other distances have been filled in with cement.
- This turned out to be a good thing. Since consistently hitting a 100 yard target with the .22 is still difficult for her, I was able to get Girlie Bear to stop worrying about accuracy and concentrate on fundamentals.
- By the time we left, her gun handling and trigger control had greatly improved, and she was even hitting the target about 50% of the time.
- Next time, I’ll bring a more powerful rifle so that she can practice for deer season.
- It’s convenient, and it’s free, but shooting through steel tubes isn’t the most comfortable thing to do if you’re taller than the average Kentuckian.
- To the jerks who used the metal sign at the range as a target for their rifles, you assholes are the reason we can’t have nice things. I hope you all experience a critical failure of something big and boomish in the near future.
- One wouldn’t think that finding an unpainted cement lawn gnome would be this difficult.
- Dinner tonight was roasted chicken, roasted potatoes and onions, and spicy roasted corn on the cob, all done on the grill.
- It was too hot and I was too tired to heat up the house.
- To the twit in the red Cadillac pick-up who parked the darn thing broadside to two lanes of on-coming traffic so she could make a left turn out of her subdivision, you’re going to miss that finger when I bite it off.
