learn to shoot well
Workin' on it 4 years ago

I went out yesterday with my husband and a friend to plink around in the desert. Fired a Ruger 22 rifle, Baby Eagle, Bear Cat, and my favorite, the Astra Cub (a little 22 short pistol). The Astra is inaccurate as hell, and jams every 3 rounds, but it’s so fun you barely notice. Ken was not happy when he gave it a try and fired 3 rounds in a perfect grouping, and the fourth round destroyed his target stand. It’s a good thing the hearing protection muffled my laughter.

On the plus side, I was getting pretty good with the Ruger rifle. Okay, so I cheated and used the scope…but still. From about 40 feet, my groupings were all within an inch of one another.

Hopefully the next time we go out, I can put a few magazines through the Baby Eagle, and maybe even work with the Sig. I’ve gotta get comfortable with the damn things eventually.



hike the Grand Canyon again
It's exhausting, but... 4 years ago

I can’t wait to do this again. I suspect by now it’s gotten too cold up north to make a weekend of it, so I may have to hold off until the spring—I’m thinking April. I spent most of this year trying to talk Chris into a weekend camping excursion with the dogs (dogs are allowed, but not below the rim). But I think that would drive me crazy, being there and not being able to hike down!

Guess I should start getting in shape soon ;o)



read Calvin & Hobbes
*drool* 4 years ago

I saw “The Complete Calvin & Hobbes” at Barnes & Noble last night. While I was drooling over it, there was a very kind woman who tried to talk Chris into buying it for me. Apparently spending $150 on me was not what he had in mind for me last night…oh well.

Someday.
