I actually have not gotten back in the darn thing since last summer. I really perfer my Truck. I had several sports cars when I was younger, I'm over it. This is my husbands first sports car, other than he isn't bald... he pretty much fits the above description. He'll be lookin to trade me in for 2 20's soon!

Not lobotomized... just still comfortably numb! Ah the old days!

I am sitting here in Vegas today, it's cool, it's wet, and the first match of the season was cancelled, so to cheer myself up I thought I'd post something funny from my blog...Summer 2007 Ya know I understand my husbands need to have a sports car. Everyone knows he bought a 1990 ZR1 Corvette prior to his cancer/kidney surgery. I supported the idea, even encouraged him to spend double his original estimate, and smiled kindly when he actually spent over triple the amount on a car he purchased on ebay, sight unseen, that only needed a "bit" of work. I only made a small eyebrow lift when he returned in a record 6 hours from New Mexico to Las Vegas with the car. Someone get a pilots license? I now get to go 90 mph to the In & Out Burger two blocks from our house. Must we "clean out the motor" every time we start the engine? I understand need to have the wind blowing in his graying hair as he aimlessly chases the last vestiges of his long spent youth. The call of the open road, driving as fast as you dare, or can afford.... But good LORD do I really have to ride in a car that is 900 degrees? First, we must ride with the windows down. Hello, it's Vegas, in August!! The windows are not tinted, (no one could see the cool person driving the car). So why do they need to be down? Today it is a plesant 106 in Las Vegas. The only thing that kept my hair from spontaneously combusting under the removable glass roof was the rare 60% humidity. Grant it, it was a short ride to the store, but between the wind and the moisture, my hair pretty much looked like it had been combed with an egg beater when we reached our destination 4 blocks away. Imagine the surprise on my face when I find out, the groceries must be in my lap on the way back. One of the little things that needs to be fixed... the hatch no longer pops up. So after I lay down on the ground and roll into the car... I pile the refreshing cool milk and frozen food in my lap hoping for some comfort from the black interior leather seats that have seared my butt cheeks with 3rd degree burns. So my husband took pity on me and rolled up the windows, and turned on the air.... did I say air? My Grandma made a bigger breeze passing gas! Who knew a simple trip to the store could be so complicated? When I arrived home I had asphalt embedded in my knees from getting in/out of the car, Gilda Radnor styled hair think "Roseanna Roseanna Danna", sweat from the milk jug rolling down my thigh, and groceries on my lap. I must say owning a sports car again makes me feel so young and sexy. I'm so glad we have a Corvette, it's going to be so much fun!!!

The set up: So for my husbands birthday, we have a small suprise party. His boss is making him Vice President of Paper Clips I guess. (Same job, new title) Anyway, my 11 year old son has a "thing" for the bosses wife. A very christian, very nice, woman. The OMG from the mouth of babes moment: I ask my son to bring a drink to the bosses wife who is standing in the kitchen with the rest of the office staff. My son noticeing the steam coming from the drink... Raised his eyebrows and in his best voice says: You'll notice your drink is steaming hot, just like you look tonight! HERE'S the kicker... She reply's "OH do I look flushed? I don't feel hot! " We were howling the rest of the night.

yep, today. I don't care too much for vegas living. everything is so ass backwards. I'm no vendor, sponsored shooter, MFG, or dealer so I guess I'll go shoot the match. I may just win if no one shows up I am going to show up and your still going to win... I think those of us who have been walking the show should get a handicap... my feet are killing me!

Welcome to the IPSC Mothership. You will now be assimilated!! Resistance is futile.

I can do that! It's like Woodstock for guys.... I know what you mean, I postponed my surgery until after the show.

I have the advantage to living in Las Vegas, so I will be stopping in most days. We have an IPSC match Sunday morning, so I may not be around Sunday. If anyone needs suggestions on where to shoot or what to eat give me a shout.

That is cool. You should hang it up. You might re-size the photo and make it your avatar here too. Oh how great minds think alike!

Hey I was wondering who is coming to the Shot Show? I will be around as an attendee. Got my backpack for all the free stuff, new tennis shoes walking and a bottle of Motrin for when my feet a killing me.

I think I am going to put it in a poster frame, title it "Service with a smile" and hang it behind my desk.

Weapon matters not! Judge me by my weapon do you? Dissen gonna be bery messy, me no watchin!

Thank you Jedi Master, I am but a young Padawan eager to learn the ways of the living Force.

On very rare occasions my husband will go shooting with me and today was one of those occasions. So I started just shooting groups at 15 yards and ended up with this great smiley face! His friend who was shooting with us was really impressed... he said, Did you shoot that on purpose?" Of course I replyed! Ha!!! It's all a happy accident, except I doubt my husband will shoot with me again any time soon.

Well like I said, my friend ran the entire stage (the star + four targets) in 12.3.. He says "wait for a good site picture and squeeze the trigger" ok well he's been shooting for 16 years, has a sponsor, bla bla bla... he is so quick, just watching him shoot brings a tear to everyones eye. The best advise is don't chase the target wait for it to come to you. From shooting the blue plate at 6 o'clock, I moved to 3 then to 9 and waited for the target. It obviously worked. That is pretty much what they told me on the range and I have read the same. So anyway the times ranged from 12.3 to me at 48. There were a few 30's, but mostly 20's.
