Mornin dogs. It’s 10 in the morning and a balmy 81 degrees. Supposed to get up into the mid 90’s today.

Good afternoon, Yard.

Afternoon Yard!

The weather here is great. It's 75 and sunny.

I managed to get all my errands ran this morning and still had time to go to the range this morning.

I spent about an hour running steel plate racks. I finally picked up a shot timer (I haven't used one since I retired). I wanted to get a baseline for my shooting. From 15 yards I was able to clear the 6 plate rack clean (8 inch round plates) in 4.88. That's not real good, but also not real bad. My best spit times were consistently .54 with my best being .49. I can bring those down. My problem is getting on the red dot consistently from the holster. Best of the day was 1.34 worst was 2.04.

I can trim my time down a bunch if I would stop searching for the red dot and focus on the target. It's tougher since I'm still used to iron sights.

I'd like to find a GSSF match within an hour or two drive to compete. Not having any luck. Maybe next summer.

I will say I'm glad I picked up the shot timer. It is definitely going to help my training, especially since I tend to roll solo.

Sounds like good practice M/B.

I'm liking the cooler weather. It was 43 when I got up today.

I'm picking my wife up from the airport today so there shouldn't be too much hard labor at home.

We booked a cruise in December ; it's to celebrate my brother and SIL's 50th wedding anniversary. It will be the first time I have ever been on a big ship or cruise ; when they sent us to VietNam and returned we flew there.
Their grown kids will be with us as well, and they all seem pretty excited about the get-together. My sister and BIL from Texas are also going so it will be a family reunion as well.

Good afternoon, Yard.

Sounds like fun Tom. Enjoy yourselves.

We will ................................ in December.

But Tom, how is Santa gonna know where to take all your presents?

Annnd good morning dogs.

Good morning, Yard.

Good afternoon Yard. Another hot one today so we're staying inside.

Randy, the General and I have each other ...... we don't need presents.
