So I was trying to think of something to do with Tyler today while Monica went to her scrapbooking thing…  I have been telling Tyler stories about my fabled shooting abilities for years and decided we would go to the gun range, as Ty had never shot before.

When we get there I learned this is still a great country, as you don’t even have to fill out a form, just hand over your driver’s license and they’ll hand you and your 14 year old son a weapon and boxes of ammo, no problem.  They had just about every handgun I could think of, but since this was Tyler’s first time I wanted to get something reasonable.  I finally settled on a .357 magnum.  It’s a ridiculously overpowered gun, but it’s heavy which makes it easy to aim.

Pics show how we made out, two of the targets are from 50 feet, and Tyler is a natural.

I first wanted one when I was about 13…

As most of the people I talk to regularly know, I’ve had corvettes on the brain for a few years now.  Since I was a kid I’ve wanted to have one, and now I finally do!  I have been trying to talk myself out of it recently, because they are sometimes trouble prone and can be expensive to maintain, but my wife actually talked me into it.  Monica wants me to be happy, and she is so very tired of looking at pictures of Corvettes, hearing stories about Corvettes, hearing me mumble in my sleep about Corvettes, etc.  For the record, I bought a 1996, which is the last year they made the C4 model.  It’s has an LT1 engine, conservatively rated at around 300hp.  Granted, it’s a ridiculous car, it’s too fast, costs too much to own, uses too much gas, and I hereby thank Monica for practically forcing me to buy it.   :)  Click the below pic to see more.
