Can I touch you?

Got some decent glass on my hunting rifle.  Went with a Leupold VX-R 4-14x40mm, 30mm tube, Ballistic Fire Dot reticle.  I don't know how spot on the ballistics markings will be since 300 WSM is not one of the calibers listed in the manual, but if it's way off, I've always been more of a Kentucky windage guy anyway.   

Here's my pickups from the last week

Taurus Model 65 .357

Tikka T3 300 WSM

Benelli Nova 12ga.

I also hiked Mt. Baldy here in Eagle River

Got some trigger time on my Sig MCX. They were right, the stock trigger is pretty horrendous. Have been looking at upgrading to a Geissele SD-C

Dammmmmmmn it. I got impatient and ordered a gessiele trigger directly from them a few weeks back. But not mad, worth every penny and got a sweet swag bag.

Now I'm deciding whether I want to go mil or moa, and which scope. Leaning towards either the Vortex Razor HD II or Night Force ACTR. Also the math involved with calculating ballistics really makes me wish I had paid more attention in school, because I have always struggled with math :(

Another mod?! We need an uprising! Join me fellow plebs! ( I won't uprise if I get my third star Wink )

I'm getting unreasonably excited for my October trip to Texas.  We have a "free" (a few cases of beer and some sausage) place to stay for the week with some of my wife's favorite family members.  The guy... her 2nd cousin or something... is on a swat team down there and I'm hoping I can convince him to take me to a range... or drive a bearcat.

Woke up to find a napkin under my wiper asking to buy my car, waiting for the kid to confer with his dad and call back. Asking 8k non-negotiable, either I get paid or I keep driving my sweet car, win/win.

Got my 300 WSM zeroed at 100m yesterday.  Only took 20 shots and a very very sore shoulder.  At a mere 6.4 pounds before the scope, that thing kicks like a something that kicks really really hard.  I'll be investing in a recoil pad.

My wife and I have officially retired; I had a seizure (epilepsy) Christmas 2014 and had 3 months off work and lots of time to reflect on how great life is. During this time my awesome dad passed away and it cemented how life can slip by so fast so we decided to bump up our plans.  It was tough as I had a great job in the oil-patch, employee owned and the best job I've ever had; my position was application engineer for the gas compression side of our company.  My wife also had a great job, however she loves the Island and the laid back pace of life there so she was game   We are moving to Vancouver Island which is truly a slice of heaven, and we are leaving Friday, we are renting a place on Kye Bay  - http://www.kyebay.com - for the rest of the month while we look for a place in Comox.  Happy Summer!

Edit - Post of my Dad, playing his 1959 Gibson J45; I have this guitar now.:

Got back from my first real vacation in four years. My wife and boys and I spent a few days on the Gettysburg battlefield, and I might be getting back into reenacting after three years out of it. My oldest son is starting to show a little interest, so we're going to feed it a little and see where it ends up.

Oh, Sure... 40 minutes from where I live and you don't even try to get in touch with me.... Jerk...

Never mind the fact that I was out of town from the 2nd until yesterday evening, you still should have shot me a PM....

We didn't know we were going until last minute to be honest, and this was a 'test the water' trip for us as an entire familial unit- the last time we'd gone on vacation, our youngest hadn't even been born yet. Next year, we're planning on spending more time down there, and I have to get down to PG county to visit a friend of mine who's a firefighter down there....so we'll have to schedule a meet up for sure. Provided you're not out of town again. Smile
