A couple of friends and I got together to do some shooting yesterday. It was a lot of fun. I shot my Mini-14 at 100 yards for the first time. I was able to get 14 of 20 shots on paper while the AR my friends were using only managed 4 shots on paper out of 90 fired! I suggested zeroing it, and we took...

always a fun activity

I've been doing a lot of rifle shooting lately. I'm getting better at the 100 yard shooting, and hopefully I will continue to improve. I wish I could afford to do it every day, instead of just once a week. Anyway, today I decided to put myself through the paces with my 1911, only to discover I only had one fifty round box of .45s...

AC/DC's new single "Rock and Roll Train"
I'm looking forward to a new album from my favorite band. I hope it's a good one. This song would indicate that may be the case.

So I painted my bedroom. It looks a lot better now. I'm trying to make as many little changes around here as I can to make the place a little less white trash. Anyway, it's a nice improvement. Next will be the bathroom.

Good looking range, what are your plans for a backstop? Dirt? That works pretty good.
A friend of mine got ahold of some used power poles from the local utility, cut them in half, and Planted them. Instant 10' tall backstop.

I put some work into my 100 yard shooting range today. I took down portions of three fences that were in the way, cut down five (small) trees, and attempted to dig up some fence post but gave up in the face of the Alabama heat. I can just bend them out of the way anyway. Fucking heat.
I'll take some pictures when it's finished....

I am assuming that you will have to register for and take classes as an apprentice in your state. If your state has two different licenses (residential and commercial) like my state did, make sure you sign up for commercial. No matter what. Dont let anyone talk you out of it. The typical argument is...I will become a journeyman in half the time, and hence make journeyman wages. We'll, I'll tell ya, I am licensed in 5 states and typically make almost double what a residential journeyman makes (though I do earn more than most commercial/industrial electricians that I work side by side with as well). A residential electrician can only work on houses and appartments. A commercial/industrial electrician can work on everything: from houses to nuclear plants.
The state I live in now only has one license, so pay is comensurate with the type of work you do, and where your past experience lies. For states that have multiple licenses, if you were trained strictly as a residential electrician, you can not cross the boundary to commercial/industrial without starting your school over from scratch.

Long story short, I'm the executor of my grandfather's estate. He owned a red 2001 mustang (rebuilt title, uninsurable but driveable). Anyway. After he died my mother had the keys. When the legal issues were getting under way the lawyer said park all the cars in his name. No driving them. You can't get insurance because you don't own them, etc. I let my mother...

Uh, yup! That's pretty much how we live here...we both have crazy family too!!
Sorry that you are having such a hard time with your Mom hun! It's stressful to have to be your parents parent 
I had the best weekend ever. All my worries and cares were left behind and I was able to spend the weekend just enjoying being alive. I owe it all to one amazing special person. I wish that little vacation could have lasted forever, but it definitely made me want to start saving up for the next one down the road.

What's her name? 
I just finished reading up on Florida's concealed firearm laws and self defense laws. And I must say that I approve, except for one little thing that isn't THAT big of a deal. I'm going there this weekend to spend some time on the beach. It'll be nice to get away, and I'm glad I won't have to leave the 1911 behing...probably wouldn't be going...

I never understood before
I never knew what love was for
My heart was broke, my head was sore
What a feeling
Tied up in ancient history
I didnt believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling
What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm...
