- Someone once told me that “If you don’t shoot weekly, you’ll shoot weakly.”
- This weekend, I proved that if you only shoot quarterly, then your shooting won’t be worth two bits.
- You know it’s been a long time when you open the gun safe and ask yourself, “When did I buy an SKS?”
- The best part about holding the Raingutter Regatta in the school cafeteria is the fact that the floor always gets a good, thorough mopping after tear down.
- Kids were fascinated with the concept of syphoning the water out of the gutters after the races. I refrained from mentioning that I learned it from my father during the gas shortage in the 1970’s.
- I want credit for refraining from sending an electronic guffaw to someone in an on-line group this evening. You see, said someone was boasting about what a ‘warrior’ they were when they were in the Army, lo these many years ago.
- Said someone failed to mention the time I had to coach him through zeroing his weapon and he broke down into shaking sobs after the first three shots.
- A pulled muscle in your lower back is nature’s way of telling you that you need to slow down and read books for a couple of days.
- I’m re-reading the Monster Hunter International series, and it occurred to me that someone should make an MHI sticker that reads “Skippy Is My Co-Pilot”, complete with the green smiley face.
- Boo is listening to the audiobook of “Starship Troopers”, and seems to be enjoying it.
- He giggled like a fiend at the “30 Second Bomb”
- He also thinks that Sergeant Zim is a complete badass

/ November 21, 2018I usually ask myself “Why didn’t I buy a dozen SKSs when they were cheap…?”
Also… I admire your restraint. I’m pretty sure I would have been so disgusted with that whimpering idiot I would have mocked him the second he showed up in that online group…

/ November 24, 2018If a movie of Starship Troopers is ever made, I will let him watch it. So far, there has never been a movie made. Nope. No movie.
