I went up to Morgantown for my high school class reunion. It was fun, although I found rather quickly that I still don't like the same people I didn't like in high school, for the same reasons. I did enjoy seeing the rest of them though.
Cool news...
I went to watch West Virginia University beat the snot out of some backwoods bible school. The game wasn't anything blog-worthy in and of itself, but I found out something interesting... the Mountaineer mascot this year is a girl. I believe it has happened before, but typically the Mountaineer is a dude, because the position has historically required a big bushy beard. Of course, it used to also include riding a horse. Anyway, you will not find me complaining about an attractive girl in tight buckskin carrying (and shooting) a beautifully crafted rifle.
In fun news...
Tonight I took another pseudo newbie to the range. He had only ever shot an M16 at some range in Las Vegas before. Tonight he got to shoot the following: SAR-1, Yugo SKS, Mosin Nagant M91/30, Colt Army Special, and Glock 26. Fun was had. Money was turned into noise. And I think he wants to go trap shooting this weekend too. Woo hoo, another convert!
Ammo news...
The range had tons of 9mm, .40S&W and .45ACP. The price is a little high still, but not really outrageous. They also took down their "2 box per customer limit" sign.
Spendy news...
I spotted a Iver Johnson .22 revolver in good condition for dirt cheap. I've been dying to get a cheap .22 revolver for a while now, mostly for teaching newbies, but also for occasional plinking. The thing is, I really can't afford it right now. So what saved me from coming home with another gun... the sales guys couldn't find the key to the display case. Mega-LOL.
Stupid news...
While waiting for my buddy to show up at the range, I did a few different drills with my G26. But that's not the stupid thing. The guy in the next lane over was shooting his High Point carbine, and it malfed. While trying to determine the cause, he looked down the barrel (while on the firing line, no less.) Can anyone tell me the proper etiquette for dealing with that? Do I ignore him while he dances with Darwin? Do I walk over and smack him on nose with a newspaper? Should I tackle him and pin his arm behind his back and make him recite the 4 rules?
Anyway, life has been busy, which is why I haven't been blogging much. I've been in a better mood, and I'm getting excited about starting my new job next week. |
