Stop in for a cup of coffee

Any of you on a high school shooting team? We had a range in the basement of the high school, was a lot of fun.
My dad worked for parks and rec, the pool he worked in had a range in the basement.
I would get on the bus,air rifle in the case and ride there for target practice on the weekends he worked.

that air rifle saw thousands of pellets. Was a good one.
 
Like any other youth sporting discipline it is never the kids that are the PITA it is the parents! To Zmans point this week I saw one of my previous students from many classes ago walking out of the range. I remembered his name as he would bawl virtually every class and his relationship with his Father was strained at best. He was with his mom and I asked him how he was doing in his intermediate air gun pistol class. He beamed proudly and showed me his targets, then his Mom looked me in the eye and said with genuine appreciation how much our class had helped him overcome his fears and bolstered his confidence. As an instructor it is one of those ahaha moments we live for. Makes it all worth while.

To me, that would be the very reason you do this sort of thing.
Instructor/mentor..
 
Just googled the school they still have it surprisingly but went from 22's to air rifles.
 
Went to breakfast with my GF today .:thumbsup:

Well like Chris we also have the 50 mph winds all day. I'm hoping to get rid of a couple weeks worth of leaves lying in the yard.
Blowing like a hurricane out there now. A little snow up north. A lot of snow west of here. We are supposed to travel west today. I hope the wind backs off a bit. No need to sandblast the new car.
 
Ray, there are a couple choices for points/condensers, will have to identify what distributor i have. Next time its in shop.

Anyhow, went to her Mama house all day, ,,,Yes... More Party....I'm driving the motorbike home, when we pass under a bridge, where the road is flooded . Got half way through before choaks out. . Pushed it 20 yds to dry spot. Didn't want to fire at first, but it did. These things are pretty tough. Always an adventure here.. :rofl:

God Morgen and Happy Wöden's Day. Windy and raining here too. Could switch to snow anytime, but really hoping it doesn't. Short day at work today, should be gone to rebuild carbs on Demon by noon.

Rusty.. check out that blue skiff there. You turn the small engine around, and drop it in to go, cause it is shallow in many places. That one is small, but I have seen diesel engine on the shaft, on bigger boats. Apparently that is the best way, in all waters...

Yeah I was lookin at that. Kinda cool!
 
Good morning everybody.

Do they make new windshield wiper arm springs to replace the old ones ? The one on my passenger side is so weak that it does not press the wiper to the windshield. So it wipes only two stripes on the ends.
