If you plan to do any shooting in the prone position anyway. I have learned this the hard way. Yeah buddy, there is nothing like laying down on some nice rocks and spent shells with your bear legs. I also went to the range once right from church wearing my black suit. fortunately I was only there to get some practice with my pistol so it wasn’t that bad. I didn’t do any prone shooting or even sitting on the bench. What I need to remember to do is to wear some tactical pants or some of my old BDU’s or even to just throw on some old jeans that I don’t much care about, but the whole idea of going in shorts is just a bad one. Not only do the rocks hurt but you occationally catch a nice hot brass as it ejects from your neighbors gun. Yup, sizzle on your skin, that’s always fun.

You know, I love the fact that the conservatives on the supreme court are completely sold out to the idea of being originalists to the constitution. But in this case I can’t help but wonder; “What are you smokin?!” They decided in a recent case that a man’s conviction had to be overturned because the testimony of his victim was used in the case. His victim happened to be murdered. They decided that he has a right to be able to question those who testify against him but he can’t question her… ’cause she’s dead! and she’s dead… ’cause he KILLLED HER! unbelievably written or recorded testimony from witnesses can be used against a person if they killed the witness for the reason of stopping their testimony. But since he only killed her because he was angry at her, it can’t be used. It was actually the liberal judges who sided against the killer and the conservatives who overturned his conviction. I am absolutely dumbfounded and don’t even know what to think.

I have been thinking a lot about getting some new Hunting Rifles. The only ones that I have now are my .22’s, which are fine for small stuff like squirrels but not too good for anything much bigger. I also have a nice old 8mm Mauser bolt action which is real accurate and I actually love to shoot it. I only paid $50 for it at a sporting goods store because it is 60 years old but I have put some money into making it real good. The problem is that it is getting nearly impossible to find any ammo for it. I have checked Wal-mart (yeah right) Meijer, Jay’s Sporting goods and Dick’s Sporting goods. Nothing. So I am thinking (just thinking at this point) of getting a new one. I am partial to the .223 caliber and I am real familiar with the AR-15 layout from the military. I could hunt just about anything with it. What do you think?

You have got to check out this video. This ball girl is amazing. She should be getting picked up by SOME team somewhere. If she can hit 1/4 as good as she can field she will be awesome.

Today I spent about two hours working on the pool. There were a lot of leaves in it and I had shocked it for alge a few days ago and the dead stuff needed vaccuumed of the bottom. By the time I got done the water was too low so I ran the hose into it… and then forgot to turn it off for about 4 hours. Yep, now I have to drain some of it. Issues, issues.

There are posts on this site that I have made over the past year or so which have caused people distress. I regret that. This site was originally set up with the thought that no one but my family and a few close friends would see it. I used it to vent frustrations and say things, basically to myself, that I would probably not voice publicly. Sometimes I wrote when I was angry at something and used this as a form of therapy or something like that. Virtually no one ever read it. Yes, I can track that. IP addresses are recorded whenever someone hits a site and I know that only 17 people were doing any real reading on it (other than a few people who had popped in, didn’t spend any time and left). That is, up until a short time ago. Then people began to monitor it. Yes, I can tell. In the past two weeks my site traffic has trippled. In order to keep further people from having their feelings hurt I will be turning several of the posts I made “private” Which means you can no longer see them but they are still there. I won’t delete them because if someone really desires to know what was so terrible I can give them access. Sorry for hurt feelings, most of you were never meant to read my thoughts.
