Days 14 & 15

The last two days have been busy. Up early in the morning and back late in the evening. I haven't had the energy to write the blog.

It's good to have a group of friends to shoot with. On Thursday we shot the yellow course. Unfortunately the weather gods weren't with us. There was a stiff wind blowing most of the targets away from the stand. The red course on Friday was similar, only this time it was the overcast. We shot at 8:00 with a heavy overcast. 8:00 around here is just after dawn. It was dark. The overcast didn't burn off until the last two stations. I wish we'd shot red on Thursday. It was set up so that the wind would have blown all of the targets towards the stand.

The above isn't an excuse, just an observation. I'm continuing my string of bad performances at the nationals. There wasn't any wind problem earlier on Thursday in the K-cup and I shot poorly there also.

I ordered a pair of shooting glasses. They were to be here on Friday. Unfortunately, the lab screwed up the prescription. The optician will mail them to OR next week. I'll be lucky to see them before Thanksgiving. They won't do me much good then.

The topgun shootoff last night was entertaining as usual. It's amazing to see the targets that the top shooters could hit. The party was a little different this year. They set up a buffet line outside of the stadium. It included several kegs of beer and a table full of wine bottles. Everyone seem to have a good time. They sure went through a whole lot of food. I think the kitchen staff were run ragged by the end.

We picked up a couple of real estate brochures and started looking at ads. It seems that prices have dropped a little since last year. It will time to get serious a looking next week.
