Links

Folks, if you link to me please let me know and I will add a reciprocal link.  I think I have already linked to my five readers but if there are more please let me know. . . .

Thanks

blooger list update

Ok, updated the list of folks I have met, with the exception of Zercool, for some reasion  I can't get blogger to add him to that list, but I can get it to add it to my blog list. . . .

Anyway sorry for the delay it has been a while since the shoot and it was great to meet you all  . . .

Old NFO was quite a surprise since we have a mutual friend in the Navy.  We got talking and it just came out . .  I was telling him of my friend Adam and asks if his last name was X . . . I said yep, went to high school with him.

Small world folks, never know who you will meet and who they may know. . .

Another storm goes bust

And so after all the hype about Irene and the end of the world nothing happened.  We go lots of wind, some rain, and the power actually flickered a bit and went out for a minute or so.  Long enough that we noticed then came back on.

This is the way it seems to always goes here.  The news folks hype it, use it to keep the real news off the air, and show us lots of film of reporters out getting rained on and blown around but nothing happens.

Now I know down south got more damage, but still not what they said they would. 

More BS and more proof that we don't have news any more, we have entertainment.  If we had news then we would be hearing about gun walker and the other problems with the Obama administration's, and about how they have failed to fix our economy, or get us back to work. . . . no, we get storm footage that shows nothing. . . .

North East Blogger Shoot

Had a great time this weekend at the 4th annual NE blogger shoot. . .

The oldest daughter and I went up for a day at the secret range to see friends, and try out lots of guns and overall have a great time.

Got to shoot a semi auto 1919. . . that was cool.  And an automatic belt fed .22  - fun and no recoil. . . and I got a good photo of me with a recoilless rifle. . .

the killer for the day was the 3" turkey shot loads. . .. in 12 ga. . .. OUCH.  I can still feel that one.

Many others have much better reviews, but let me just say it was a great way to spend the day. . . .
