Ok good. I talked to keith today and he is setting up an 80 yard range for pistols now lol

wonder why. Of course he'd better keep using that laser. ha

Yes we are i hope todd has the room lol

Too easy.

who?

I got some more 22 last night so you and me can have our here hundred yard 22 shoot off lol

We are going for 300 yards this time.

Like Nike says, I "Just do it". Never thought about how I do it. Just read the bike and turn and make necessary adjustments.

Bought 333 rounds of hollow point .22's and a pair of earmuffs. The muffs are Winchester brand and really good quality for $7.50. I should have picked up another pair.

Flying Spaghetti Monster accepts all worship, and favours none.

fact! sauce be upon him, rAmen

lol

I'm on google earth. There is a view of the WTC in September of 2001. You can still see smoke in the air. Eerie.

C-Span is showing the remembrance ceremony in Shanksville, Pa. They just finished reading off the name of those people who lost their lives. Each time a name was read, two bells sounded. At 11 is the pentagon ceremony. Yeah I'm a little teary eyed.

Glad he's okay' date=' +1 for gear! I'm always watchin my mirror when stopped,

tend to keep pulsing my brake light too when I see someone approaching behind me.[/quote']

Yeah, I always watch my mirrors. I'm paranoid about getting rear ended. I do have one of those brake light modulators. My wife says it really grabs your attention.

I still have the Columbus Dispatch from 12 September 2001. Every once in a while I'll look at the front page and I still feel the sadness, anger, hate and fear I felt that day.

I've said this before but when I was in Iraq Toby Keith came and played for us. When he sung "The Angry American", the crowd of soldiers erupted and I believe that most of us were proud to be there.

Now this nation that I love

Has fallen under attack

A mighty sucker punch came flying in

From somewhere in the back

Soon as we could see clearly

Through our big black eye

Man, we lit up your world

Like the 4th of July

Hey Uncle Sam

Put your name at the top of his list

And the Statue of Liberty

Started shaking her fist

And the eagle will fly

And there's gonna be hell

When you hear Mother Freedom

Start ringing her bell

And itll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you

Ahhh Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Ohhh Justice will be served

And the battle will rage

This big dog will fight

When you rattle his cage

And you'll be sorry that you messed with

The U.S. of A.

'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass

It's the American way

God Bless My America.

Sounds like he was very lucky. I am glad your friend is okay.

it didn't seem to fit my hand well and even though its a subcompact it felt bulky persay. I haven't ruled it out since I want to shoot one first before making a final decision

My thoughts on them exactly.

So, there's this really cool feature here on Ohio Riders called private messages...

When did we get this feature? I forgot this wasn't his house shooting thread.

I can't do that, I already swore the first gun she shoots would be her great grandfather's. She never got the chance to meet him so it's bitter sweet.

What'd she shoot at 3?

Yeah, I def will. Maybe she's old enough to shoot the .22 now?

Ah ok. Was curious since I'll have Brooke there.

Thats about when Kim and I will be there too.

You bringing the kids too?

and earplugs!!

what?!?!

A few years ago the Army Times did a deployment study and came up with 30 or 40% (if I remember the article right) of all soldiers in the Army (active and reserves) had not deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. The rest just kept getting rotated through the Pentagon's deployment schedule.

That's probably pretty accurate now that I think about it. I knew guys that had 15+ years in that had never deployed. Then I knew guys that had been in for 6 years and 4 of those were overseas. Seemed like the same guys kept getting stuck in the rotation.

I rember driving into work and thinking what a beautiful day it was, not a cloud in the sky. I was listening to Stern at work when the first plane hit, like casper said they thought it was an accident. I work for Nationwide downtown and remember looking out the window as hundreds of cops surrounded the federal building, it was creepy. We were watching the TV as the second plane hit, I just wanted to get the fuck out of there and be with my family, it was such a weird feeling.

Yeah it was such a beautiful day. Sunny, perfect temp, clear sky and clear air. Sad how the day ended after such a good start.

I was at Ft Campbell, KY in the company area with about 15 other soldiers waiting for one of the trucks that was shuttling my company out to the qualification firing range. We heard it on the radio first and then we all went into the day room to watch it on tv. Within an hour the entire post was locked down and no one came on or left for about 3 days. After that only the main gate was open and the other gates all had armed infantry fireteams from my battalion stationed at them. A few months later, I was stepping off a transport plane at Kandahar Army Airfield, Afghanistan with the rest of my company, batalion, and division ready to go find the bad guys in the caves and mountains.

I went to basic in 2003 and I remember my DS telling us that at least 90% of us would be deployed to a combat zone. I'd like to know how many of us did.

I forgot about the gas hikes too.
