"Been scarce" update
« on: December 01, 2009, 12:41:10 PM »


I have been scarce here on GTA, nothing personal. I moved to Valley Center to a virtual airgunner's paradise, and hope to host some north San Diego shooting one of these days.



Unfortunately I still can't get an internet connection out in the little valley I'm in, and this has cut down my forum time to nil. Just as well, since I am swamped with projects on the little 2.5 acreage, and my baby girl is due in about 6 weeks. I have been to Saudi Arabia and back, and now I'm at a trade show in Texas. In between I learn about new home and farm stuff and fix things.



I have fired two (2) pellets since the move. One was through a rabbit's skull from the MP513 at a hair over 40 yards, and julieshoot made a delicious burgundy stew out of him. The other was through the mouse that she caught in a sticky trap in the kitchen drawer, with the IZH53 at a range of 6". Took it outside with channel locks first, of course.



We love it there, the dogs love it, and I hope one day I can quit working on stuff and shoot a little. I also hope I get a decent home internet service soon or I will go bonkers. I still check in here from time to time from work, and miss the forum and all you guys. I'll be back!

Sure sounds like you've got your hands full, Dave. Good luck with everything. We'll keep an eye out for you…
Yea, though I walk through the garden in the shadows of pests,
I will fear no squirrel: For thou art with me;
thy scope and thy trigger, they comfort me.

Good to hear from you Dave. Will be glad when you're able to get back on here regularly. Good luck, my friend.
