Not that bad though. This weekend is this. I know Friday at work I will see the small GA aircraft running the pattern for the show. I will hear the sound of the radial engines as they arrive at the airport. I live really close to where this is going on. I can see the aircraft from my front porch as they perform during the show. The sound of these old aircraft now are an old friend to me that announce the fall of the year.
I have a Husband and Wife however that want to take a private basic pistol class Saturday. They will be spending money and time. A baby sitter is also involved. They want to get up to speed for a NC CCH Permit.
I cannot deny them. I will be with them on Saturday. Perhaps I can get to the show on Sunday.
I love what I do. I like to think it makes a difference in some small way. Small sacrifice to make on my part.

Blogshoot AAR
I had a great time meeting old and new friends again this past weekend at Lagniappe's Lair Blogshoot! There does not appear to be any pictures of me shooting anything but I promise, I did! Old NFO brought some *ahem* Ponies. Pediem brought a fantastic S&W Autoloader as well.
I did not know that I would be so busy running a pin shoot! Everyone had fun and it was great to host one up there.
Nancy goes at the pins with a black powder Brown Bess!
Then after one pin still stands, she charges it! That was the highlight of the day for me.
The next day a visit to the Lair to meet the four legged creatures that share ML's space and to see Aaron again.
Oh, Murph, you are supposed to bring traffic TO your Blog, not repel them! Posting pictures of me is a surefire way to drive people away, I just trust that your friends in the pic will cancel me out.
Murph, If you do this again a couple of suggestions. We need a photographer and a less "reactive" table for the pins!
I had a great time, we raised money for a good cause, and I got to see friends. How could it have not been a great weekend?

Fabulous Prizes!
*cough*, maybe not so much. I'm bringing this stuff for the prize table for the pin shoot this Saturday hosted by the best driver on the planet Murphys Law. If you do not believe me, just ask him.
As an added bonus, you MIGHT get the book signed by the Author. As with so many famous people he is: "Scheduled to attend."
All kidding aside, cancer has touched my family and this is a good cause. My Father was one of the first to have his prostrate removed by a DiVinci robot over 10 years ago due to that cancer. My Mother has just been through a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. This stuff sucks. Anything you can do would be appreciated.
I would much rather prefer to see you at the Blogshoot this Saturday as well! A great bunch of people and a good time is to be had!

There Will Be Coffee!
Or a weak facsimile of such this weekend. Labor intensive and not that great but it beats nothing! Want some? Just some Hydrogen gas venting and 6 or so minutes later, voila! Crappy coffee!
Beats no coffee!

Ah! So That Explains It!
For the last several months my trusty Peltor ear muffs on the range have well, hurt! Then we dig a bit deeper as I don't want to wear them all day next Saturday in the condition they are in. Nor do I want to throw out some more bucks for new ones!
Guess what. The old foam ear cups are toast. I ordered some gel filled replacements and you an see the difference!
So, on the bottom we have the old foam muffs. On the headset itself, we have new spanking gel filled stuff. Supposedly, they fit ANY Peltor model. They feel wonderful!
Take care of your range gear as well as the hardware!

Greek Food!
So I'm talking to my friend tonight trying to stage properly for his Blogshoot next weekend. What does he do? Tell me about some 30-06 Greek ammo on some website.
Dang enabler! I just scored this last week.
Much like a dog running to the bell I ordered some. If you see me at the Blogshoot and I am eating MRE's or Ramen noodles, now you know why!
