I have a suggestion for your freezer section, Chuck, to replace the ben & jerry's... Star Spangled Ice Cream There's a flavor called Gun Nut too....Just for grins, check out the other ice cream names. To put this post slightly back on topic, let me add the following: Those of us with CHL's need to remember that when the cops roll up, they don't know who the bad guy is (even if you're wearing your white hat that day). If you have a perp held at gun point, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have him lay down in a position, (ankles crossed, arms out away from his body palms up, and facing away from you) so he can't see you. This allows you to holster up when the man with the badge arrives without the bad guy knowing you did so. If the dispatcher got things wrong and the cop arrives thinking things are hairy, he may draw on you - mistaking you for the bad guy. My .02

Been using UC for a lot of years in .40 (both Glock and STI) and my spread is never more than 20-30 fps usually less. I load a little shorter at 1.180 oal with a precision 200gr molylube and 4.1 grains of UC. The accuracy is very good and it feels softer to me than titegroup or VV BTW, the winchester powders can be temperature sensitive and will lose velocity. Went minor at a match once with WSF where the temp was about 45 degrees colder than my home town.

After the merger with Kinko's, there are rumors that FedEx may merge with UPS. There is some question as to what the new company will be called. The front runner name at the moment is FedUp.

I'm signed up on a email distribution list for weekly travel deals. The one I'm on is travelzoo but you can look at others like Travelocity, 800Cheap Tickets, and so on. They sent out a notice and I booked albeit later than I should have. Within four hours all the weekend tickets were gone hence I'm traveling Thursday and Monday.

I too shall be going after a long absence. Last minute cheap tickets and hotel came up and I pounced on them...There is an opportunity here to have a benoverse get together. Anyone interested?

I noticed that the Smith and Wesson Ladies Invitational at the Shoot Out range in Princeton, LA (Kay's place) on April 9th, 2005 is missing from the calendar.....

A very wise thing! I too learned that there are no ordinary moments. This year I also learned that no matter what, never, ever, under any circumstances, give up. Perserverance, determination, and fortitude are worth a sizable sum....you can endure more than you realize.

Freedom by Paul McCartney. And this doesn't quite fall under the category of patriotic but I think it is the most moving 9-11 song I've ever heard. It's about one of the guys who was on the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania. Kristy Jackson Little Did She Know (She Kissed A Hero) He found some socks. She chose his tie. And when he left for work that morning he was just another guy. Going to work He'd have to fly Out to a meeting in L.A. so she had kissed him twice goodbye. Little did she know she’d kissed a hero Though he’d always been one in her eyes. But when faced with certain death He’d said a prayer and took a breath And led an army of true angels in the sky. Little did she know she’d kissed a hero Though he’d always been an angel in her eyes. Putting others first, it’s true That’s what heroes always do Now he doesn’t need a pair of wings to fly. The phone had rung. His voice was calm. Before he could tell her anything she knew something was wrong. I love you so The last words he’d said. She said I love you too And then the phone went dead. Little did she know she’d kissed a hero Though he’d always been one in her eyes. But when faced with certain death He’d said a prayer and took a breath And led an army of true angels in the sky. Little did she know she’d kissed a hero Though he’d always been an angel in her eyes. Putting others first, it’s true That’s what heroes always do Now he doesn’t need a pair of wings to fly.

PM ReneeT, she has a recipe for Titegroup that she uses out of both her 6" and 5" STI.

Dude! What took you so long? A-387 ??!!?? Why weren't you A-1 like the steak sauce? My first nationals was in the very first Limited natls ever held in Reno. I doubt you remember BE, but we ran into each other in the lobby of the match hotel. You stopped to talked to me because you were floored to see a shooter, let alone a chick, reading a copy of "The Way and the Power" by Lovret. Who all remembers the Peppermill hotel with it's shaggy brown carpeted walls? It was like a bad Austin Powers bachelor pad! Carina aka TY22936 (I joined USPSA as soon as I could. I blame a liberal upbringing in Kalifornia for the delay!)

I used to have that problem with women, but I'm OK now. Ya see, at my age, eventhough I keep chasing beautiful young women, when I finally catch them, I forget why I was chasing them. I guess the oxygen tank does slow you don't a little doesn't it!

53% Dixie... Hi, my name is Carina and I'm a recovering Kalifornian. What can I say (all together now) I got to Texas as quick as I could....

I took my daughter tonite over to her little playmates house so that they could trick or treat together. My husband wasn't going to be home and since I had already bought the halloween candy, I figured I would just leave the bowl outside the front door with a nice note asking everyone to take only two pieces. I went out to check when we got home and not only was ALL the candy gone but they took the bowl too. Heck, they even took the note! It's times like this when I worry about the future my daughter will be facing. I just kinda' figured who would want a $2.00 metal mixing bowl....My mistake!

I've got the hood...The front site keeps the gun from sitting all the way down the when the hood is in place which means the trigger guard lock doesn't grab. I suspect I will have to butcher something to keep using the hemosphere.

So I got this new, ultra sexy 6" STI long slide. I have a Bianchi Hemosphere holster and was hoping to use it. It currently wears the limited Arredondo peg accessory for my 5" gun. I ordered the open Arrendondo peg accessory which arrived today but no go. The peg is about 1/2" too short to sit in the barrel. So I either fabricate my own extra long peg and butcher the open accessory or I try to find another holster that will work between my two limited guns. Any suggestions? Thanks!

One that I have been contemplating on for the last few weeks.... There are no ordinary moments. Where are you? Here... What time is it? Now...

Hilarious!!!!! My husband and I have a very polite family life. We try not to argue. He has the black belt but he can't outrun a bullet!

I seem to be on Jim Scoutten's distribution list and he sent me this: Message from Jim Scoutten: Tonight is the first airing of the newest show in our Championship Series--the USPSA Open Nationals. The Open Division is the fastest competition described as the extreme sport of handgun shooting. I've listed the times for this week--on OLN. Note there is a slight change in the schedule that may benefit West Coast viewers: Thursday 10/14 9:00 PM Eastern - 6:00 PM Pacific Thursday 10/14 9:00 PM Pacific (Friday 12:00 AM Eastern) Sunday 10/17 9:30 AM Eastern - 6:30 AM Pacific Monday 10/18 7:00 PM Eastern - 4:00 PM Pacific Monday 10/18 11:30 PM Pacific - (Tuesday 2:30 AM Eastern) **It doesn't say if it's this years Nationals or the one from 2003.

Oh, I think wearing tights, leopard prints, and make up like you just stepped out of the play "Cats" is a bit beyond nerdy. I'll concede the point that it often seemed like a convention for the socially inept....After all the thread is called geek walk. However, some of us were there working and others were networking with the industry, not picking up weirdos with one liners like, "Hey baby, want to see a worm hole?" Which segways into Installment Five: No thank you, I don't do your gender. I usually avoided the masquerade and after party for reasons which should be obvious by now. However, someone forgot the cash box so I had to make a delivery. I get there and notice that some of the costumes look professional grade and kinda' cool. I drop off the box and check out some of the folks getting ready backstage. I notice there is this really tall chick, maybe 6'2" adjusting this unbelieveable red, white, and blue cape. I get a little closer and realize it's a guy. Before I can turn and leave, he notices I'm noticing and starts trying to chat me up. After a string of lame small talk, he asks if we can do something together after the masquerade. I tell him "I don't do your gender." He suddenly gets this funny, confused look on his face. I think he just realized he was hitting on a chick while wearing a wonder woman costume. Now he says something to the effect of, "Uh, I'm actually a guy." So I say, "Really?! So where does a guy find size thirteen, red, knee high boots?" I think he was embarrassed as he politely excused himself to finish getting ready.

Yup, our particular con (2nd largest in the world behind Angoulême) had everything including hospitality suites....If it was popular culture, you could find it. Films, comic books, gaming, science fiction, fantasy. We even has sports trading card vendors/events.

You think Klingon mating rituals are bad? Try chasing a bunch of furries out of a hospitality suite. I had to shoo them away after the con received some complaints. Furries, for the uninitiated, are folks that are into mythical beasts - half human, half animal, or animals with human characteristics. Their the type that hang a painting of two centaurs having implied intercourse on their wall and call it art. From the hall walking up to the room, it sounded like a barnyard. It seems their mating rituals involve random grunting, bleeting, and vocalizations, not words. After walking in I decided it looked more like a petting zoo if you get my drift. When asked to leave because what they were doing in the suite was inappropriate (on a lot of different levels), they mostly growled at me. Before anyone accuses me of killing a good time, let me say this. Some folks just don't belong in spandex and fur. If you want to get funky (ya' fat, furry flunkie), go pay for your own hotel room 'cause I sure don't need to see it!
